In the world of sports, maximizing the training of performance variables within a sport will bring you one step closer to success over the competition. This study dives into the world of health sciences and aims to explore the effects of off-season training on the performance variables of rowers. The study aims to identify what […]
C13: Effectiveness of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Bias Modules at Miami University
Our research project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion modules given to students before coming to Miami University. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, we explored the opinions of first-year students based on their experience and thoughts while completing the modules. This study is relevant to all fields because diversity education […]
C14: Psychological Impacts of Hearing Impairments
Focusing on diversity equity and inclusion in relation to our group’s majors of Speech Pathology/Audiology, Sociology, and Psychology, we specifically looked at how the quality of life, perception, and mental health were affected in the lives of individuals with hearing impairments. In the context of this study, hearing impairments are defined as mild to profound […]
C15: Decreased Psychological Flexibility Mediation of Body-Related Shame and Insomnia
Experiences of body-related shame are common and impactful on individuals. They are linked to a number of negative health outcomes. Yet, how it relates to sleep quality, an essential health outcome, remains understudied. Moreover, even less is known about potential mechanisms that may explain the link between body-related shame and insomnia. One such mechanism is […]
C16: Investigation of Captopril and QDP-1 for Inhibition of NDM Clinical Variants
This project explores the ability of various compounds to inhibit variants of the New Delhi Metallo-Beta-Lactamase (NDM) enzyme. Metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) are enzymatic resistance mechanisms expressed by a growing number of bacteria found to exhibit antibiotic resistance. While other resistance mechanisms can be treated, no clinically-viable inhibitor exists for MBL enzymes. Due to this looming threat, […]
C17: Normal Phase and Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography Using Dimethylcarbonate as the Mobile Phase Modifier Solvent
A growing focus in the field of green analytical chemistry has been the development of greener solvents. Thus, the idea of replacing toxic solvents used in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has become a priority. Previous work has shown that dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is a useful replacement for acetonitrile in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC). […]
C18: Role of Hypoxia on Chick Retinal Pigment Epithelium Reprogramming
The retina is one of the most important tissues since it is responsible for sight. Injury to the retina can lead to irreparable visual loss. Therefore, studying the process of retinal regeneration in vertebrates that are capable of doing so is important for understanding how the retina can be healed, instead of scarred, after an […]
C19: Establishing Genome Editing Tools for Studying Lens Regeneration
Regeneration has been a topic of research since the 18th century. Researchers have sought to understand and manipulate the mechanisms of regeneration, in the hopes of, applying these to humans. Human regenerative abilities are vastly different from those of salamanders. Interestingly, salamanders such as the newt possess high regenerative abilities and will, therefore, be used […]
C20: Insights Into Cell-cycle Dynamics and Regulation During Lens Regeneration in Pleurodeles waltl
Regeneration, or the ability to recover the architecture and function of the injured tissue, is a property shared by many organisms in the animal kingdom. However, for most organisms, including humans, regeneration capacity is lost or becomes limited after embryonic development, and declines with age. The mechanisms responsible behind the decline of regeneration capacity with […]
C21: Ganges River
The general research area was the overall health of the Ganges River in India. While the religious and spiritual significance of the Ganges River holds great value in the community, the industrial pollution, human waste, and sewage is devastating the health of this river. The Ganges River is a lifesource to the society surrounding it, […]
