Blood pressure is a major indicator of multiple health risks. There is a growing need for accurate non-invasive blood pressure (BP) measurement wearables that allow the users to monitor their BP continuously. However, current wearable technology doesn’t provide accurate BP readings, and it needs to improve the sensor technology embedded in wearables by considering various […]
C48: How do we get Black girls involved in STEM?
The general area of my research was looking at the experiences of black females in education. The research question is, how do we get black girls involved in S.T.E.M? I centered my work on the experiences of black girls in public elementary school and in urban areas. This is important to the field to understand […]
B10: RNA interference of the fmr1 gene in the cricket Acheta domesticus: Impact on locomotory and sensory functions
Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a genetic disorder that is a leading cause of autism spectrum disorder. The fmr1 gene encodes an RNA binding protein called Fragile X Mental Retardation protein (FMRP). Loss of gene function results in the loss of this protein. While much research has been done to increase our understanding of the […]
B95: Analysis of Ubiquitin Bioconjugates Through Magnetic Resonance for Study of Protein-Polymer Interactions
Enzymes are frequently used in industrial settings and in applications such as pharmaceuticals and fuel production. However, many of these systems are not advantageous for proteins to flourish, with high temperatures and pH varying from that of most biological systems. Post-translational modifications are one method of improving characteristics of proteins such as thermal stability in […]
A95: Association Between Saturated Fat and Added Sugar Intake with Triglycerides and Insulin Resistance
In the United States, many adult men and women have diets high in both saturated fats and added sugars. The American Heart Association recommends getting no more than 6% of daily calories from saturated fats. Research shows that this type of diet is a risk factor for high triglycerides and that added sugars are associated […]
B54: Fitting Mixture Models to Right-Censored Data
Modeling Right-Censored Danish Fire Loss Data A dataset is right-censored at a censoring point if, whenever observations are greater than the censoring point, they are recorded as being equal to the censoring point; otherwise, they are recorded as their true values. Such data occur in insurance losses when a policy contains a maximum benefit. This […]
B75: A Comparison Ohio Universities’ Sexual Misconduct Policies
Prevalence rates of sexual assault on college campuses vary from 1% to 25% of college students, making it imperative that universities have extensive, yet easily accessible student misconduct policies to help prevent violence and provide resources to survivors. This poster describes attempts to determine how well universities are matching the recommendations made by the Obama […]
C94: Effects of Shading on Mosquito Larval Survivorship
Climate change is increasing average temperatures and precipitation in northeastern North America, which is increasing mosquito habitat. Understanding more of their biology is essential to building effective management solutions to mitigate the spread of these potential disease vectors. Mosquito larvae develop in water and are susceptible to damage from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. However, larvae can […]
B01: Evaluating the serial homology of abdominal gills and wings in the giant mayfly, Hexagenia limbata
Despite the morphological novelty of the wing among insects, its evolutionary origin is still a highly controversial topic among the scientific community. Recently, some evo-devo studies have started shedding new light onto this hotly debated topic. However, these studies have used highly derived insects as their models, and therefore it is yet to be determined […]
CSII-02: A Study of the Trends in the Radiative Lifetime of Na2
Spectroscopy is a field which has been instrumental in furthering our understanding of extraterrestrial bodies and molecular architecture. A commonly utilized technique in spectroscopic research is to measure the radiative lifetimes of excited states, as it has been demonstrated to be effective in understanding the molecular structures. Predictive calculations shared by colleague Dr. Seth Ashman […]
