The Effects of Kavalactones on Cholinergic Signaling and Aceylcholinesterase Activity in Caenorhabditis elegans
Kava is a tranquilizing beverage from the South Pacific Islands that contains lipophilic compounds called kavalactones. Ingestion of these compounds is known to produce sedative and anxiolytic effects...
Dairy Farming: An Assessment of the Sustainability of Dairy Farms Across the United States and in Bond County
Degradation of pRb by Retrovirally Infected Cell Lines
The human papillomavirus (HPV) contains hundreds of serotypes that have been divided into low-risk versus high-risk variants. Whereas low-risk serotypes have been shown to cause benign skin lesions...
DNA Methylation and Phenotypic Plasticity in Tomatoes and Peppers
This study examines the relationship between the epigenetic mechanism of DNA methylation and phenotypic plasticity, a measure of adaptability, in tomatoes and sweet peppers. Groups of plants were...
Expression of PDZ domain 1 of the Scribble Polarity Complex
Infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancers. This study establishes a protocol for the expression of a host-cell protein domain targeted by HPV. This...
Perception of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in Student-Athletes Before and After Return to Campus Following COVID-19 Induced Social Isolation
To analyze the mental health status of student-athletes following COVID-19 induced social isolation, perceptions of depression, anxiety, and stress were measured before and after athletes return to...
Velocity Based Training Utilizing the High-Handle Hex Bar Deadlift in Collegiate Athletes
Comparing the effects of a percent based training program against a velocity based training program on the outcomes of strength, power and speed. Also assessing the reliability of load-velocity...
An Anatomical and Physiological Study on the Effects of Whiplash
Abstract: Cervical Acceleration/Deceleration Syndrome, also known as Whiplash, is a very common cervical spine injury that has annual costs in the United States higher than all cancer and...
Teacher Preparedness to Teach Evolution
The idea for this study came from the shortage of research that has been done to understand the evolution instruction provided by new secondary education teachers. A lack of training in teachers can...
Creationist-Believing Students’ Scientific Knowledge and Reasoning about Evolution
The purpose of this study arose from a pilot-study problem observed of acceptance of microevolution among those who identified as holding a creationist worldview or as having misgivings about the...
Long Term Consequences of Repeated Brain Injury - A Cadaveric Study
The purpose of this paper was to examine the long term consequences of repeated brain injury through a cadaveric dissection. For this literature review, the limbic system will be the anatomical...
Plasmid-Mediated Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes within Biofilms
The objective of this study was to determine transfer frequencies of multidrug resistance plasmids under different conjugation conditions: liquid cultures, batch biofilms, and drip-flow biofilms...
Ball Speed Predictors in One-Legged Attacks in Female Volleyball Players
Previous literature in volleyball biomechanics highlighted jump height and ball speed as key determinants for the success of regular spikes. To further current research and provide athletes and...
Awareness and response of Wesleyan ministers in Pangasinan to climate change: basis for mitigation and adaptation framework
The problem dealt with the awareness and response of Wesleyan Ministers in Pangasinan to climate change in order to develop a climate change mitigation and adaptation framework. The respondents of...
Kinematics and Kinetics of Sumo versus Conventional Deadlift
Deadlifting is a common powerlifting exercise that is primarily used to strengthen muscles in the trunk and lower extremities. This comparative analysis helps identify the changes in biomechanics due...
Conducting a Time Course of Bacteria Strain to Investigate the Growing Conditions of CB729, a Citrus Native Bacteria
Citrus Greening Disease is a bacterial disease from the organism Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). Citrus greening affects tree health as well as fruit development, ripening and quality...
Exploring Biosynthetic Gene Clusters In Amicoumacin Producing Organisms
Natural products are small organic molecules which are presumed to increase the overall fitness of an organism. Their synthesis is encoded by biosynthetic gene clusters wherein analogous sequences can...
CXCL14 as Potential Binding Partner for HPV E7
The human papillomavirus is a leading cause of cervical cancer around the world. This oncovirus uses proteins like E7 to hijack the cell cycle by binding to cellular proteins, such as pRb. Another...
Cloning gpB and gpC for the In Vitro Assembly of Bacteriophage Lambda Procapsids for use as Viral Nanoparticles
Bacteriophage lambda procapsids have shown promising uses as viral nanoparticles, as its structure allows for the possibility of drug encapsulation. The icosahedral procapsid consists of several...
Distinguishing the rumen microbiome of Montana ruminants
Ruminants are herbivorous mammals, characterized by a pre-gastric organ, the rumen. Microbes within the rumen are responsible for feed breakdown. The rumen microbiome of livestock has been extensively...
Elucidating Population Genetics of Shrimp Species On Underwater Volcanoes
To elucidate gene flow between hydrothermal vent communities, shrimp species Opaepele loihi and Rimicaris variabilis were sampled at the underwater Mata volcanoes near Tonga. A fragment of the...
Patterns of Population Structure and Gene Flow of Gastropods At Hydrothermal Vents At The Mata Volcanoes
Gastropod Ifremeria nautilei was collected at deep-sea hydrothermal vents at the underwater Mata Volcanoes near Tonga to investigate gene flow and population structure between and within vent...
