Whitmore, Tabitha | Simultaneous measurement to human auditory nerve and brainstem potentials: efects of upward spread of excitation | Hearing sensitivity in infants and adults is often assessed by measuring brain waves in response to sound. Common neural measurements of hearing sensitivity are the compound action potential (CAP) and auditory brainstem response (ABR), which emphasize activity from neurons in the auditory nerve (AN)... | 2022 | |

Peterson, Mikal | Somatic chromosome pairing in interspecific drosophila hybrid and hybried rescue crosses | Homologous chromosomes of somatic tissue pair together in Drosophila. One current model proposes that somatic pairing starts in an undirected manner; when sites on the chromosome, called "buttons", come into contact and pair. Then, after this initial pairing, the rest of the chromosome then synapses... | 2022 | |

Hahm, Suhyun | Stressors of varying properties induce differences in the modulation of behavior and biology | Stress induces enduring behavioral and biological consequences. Despite its pervasiveness, the biological and neural processes underlying its effects remain largely unknown. The existing literature generally examines the repercussions of stress from the aspect of a single stressor; however, stressor... | 2022 | |

Jowers, Jackson F. | Sustainable support for America's children: the expanded child tax credit of 2021 and the pressing need to implement a bipartisan, long-term child allowance policy in the United States | The United States has a vested interest in providing support for families raising children. Over the past 25 years, the country has used a tax code provision known as the Child Tax Credit (CTC) to provide financial assistance to parents raising children. This paper presents a synthesis of relevant p... | 2022 | |

Domagala, Drue | Synthesis of protacs to inhibit toll-like receptors | The immune system is the body's defense against pathogens. Since it has to be able to withstand the fast-evolving nature of microscopic invaders, the immune system has a variety of mechanisms to recognize and destroy them. One way that pathogens are recognized is through toll-like receptor (TLR) sig... | 2022 | |
