This project is looking at soccer statistics and more particular transfer fees within women’s soccer. Over the past few years, the world of women’s soccer has seen a significant increase in money spent on transfer fees with the numbers from 2020-2021 being almost double. There has been very little done to look at the values […]
B68: Investigation on the Use of Music as a Relief Mechanism for People Under Social Distress With an Emphasis on Latin America
The social injustice and inequality experienced by Latin American people is a major issue reflected in society that deserves to be addressed. Latin American music artists including but not limited to Wayna Rap, Nación Rap, and Immortal Kultura have been addressing these issues through the lyrics of their songs. Music artists spread the message of […]
B69: Hip-Hop With Identity in Bolivia
Students in Professor Caroline Shipley’s SPN 311 class have watched, read, and listened to a wide variety of Latin American Indigenous literature, music, and poetry throughout the semester. Specifically, we have paid close attention to the new and growing Andean Hip-Hop movement that has large fan bases in countries like Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. Our […]
B70: Investigation of Pyrolyzed Polydimethylsiloxane as an Adsorbent for Pb in Water
Porous materials and mediums such as activated carbon and membranes have been playing a vital role in catalyzing chemical reactions and removing notoriously harmful environmental contaminants. Given the growing population and the rising initiatives to significantly reduce pollution by 2050, the global scientific community continues to remain interested in coming up with low-cost, innovative yet […]
B71: Structure-Property Relationships in Carbon Nanotube Enhanced Dynamic Block Copolymers
Dynamic polymers are a new class of polymers known for their physical properties such as adaptability, self-healing, shape-memory, stimuli-responsiveness, and enhanced recyclability. Dynamic polymers respond to biochemical stimuli and physicochemical stimuli such as pH, light, electric field, temperature, and pressure. Dynamic properties in polymer materials can be due to either dynamic covalent bonds or non-covalent […]
B76: The Effect of Protein Supplementation and Resistance Exercise Training on Specific Measures of Muscle Mass Growth: Methods of a Meta-Analysis
We have gathered studies to properly look at the outcome of protein supplementation on resistance training on muscle mass, including muscle thickness, muscle fibers, and cross-sectional area of the muscle in both young and old populations. These studies involve participants of >18y, of both sexes, in any degree of health or physical activity (i.e., untrained, […]
B72: Study of Synthesis of SMA and its Interactions with Lipids to Form SMALPs
This research was to study the effects of the size lipid vesicles had on the formation of Styrene Maleic-acid lipid particles (SMALPs) when mixed with Styrene Maleic acid (SMA). this was accomplished by extruding the DMPC vesicles to 100 and 200nm and adding incremental amounts of SMA to the lipids until SMALPs formation was confirmed. […]
B74: Diverse Individuals Experiences in Psychotherapy: The Role of Telehealth
As the field of clinical psychology has developed an understanding of mental illness from a largely white, heteronormative, and middle-class perspective, therapeutic tools and practices have been guided by this limited scope. A line of literature has identified disparities in access and quality of mental healthcare that is available and provided to individuals with marginalized […]
B75: The Role of Cholinergic Neurons in Fentanyl Consumption
The opioid epidemic is a significant public health crisis in the United States with a growing number of overdoses related to illicit opioids such as fentanyl. Ohio, in particular, has been greatly affected. One of the neural circuits implicated in opioid-related behaviors is the mesolimbic dopamine system –a reward pathway involving the ventral tegmental area […]
