Mallender, Zachary | Assay of the dreem device on sleep metrics and an exploration of sleep staging in chronic short sleepers during time in bed extension | Despite clear and plentiful research that sleeping less than seven hours per night has a wide array of health consequences, a large portion of American adults report sleeping less than seven hours per night and thus receive chronic insufficient sleep. Many studies exploring the consequences of insuf... | 2022 | |

Bell, Marisa | Characterization of Polyphenols in I. Umbellifera | Secondary metabolites in plants, including polyphenolics, may be responsible, in part, for diversity in the tropics. Variation in chemical defense among species of trees encourages specificity in herbivorous insects. Due to the short lifespan of insects compared to trees, diversity in chemical defen... | 2018 | |

Shapiro, Darien | Activation of transient receptor potential ankyrin-1 by wood smoke particulate material | Exposure to wood smoke particulate matter (WSPM) has been linked to exacerbation of pre-existing respiratory conditions such as asthma, development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and premature deaths. While it is clear that WSPM exposure is hazardous to human health, the molecular ... | Smoke - Physiological effect | 2012-05 |

Temme, Jack | A closer look at aberrant muscle function | When a skeletal muscle is inhibited from operating at its full function it is called an aberrant muscle. Such inhibition tends to occur after joint trauma in order to protect the injured area from further aggravation. However, inhibition can linger after the injury is healed, which negatively impact... | 2021 | |

Wiese, Claudia | DNA metabarcoding of trnL intron using the minion device to assess BEE foraging from Pollen | In recent decades many bee species, including Apis mellifera (European honeybee), have experienced worldwide population declines. In this paper we tested a novel molecular approach to evaluate foraging of A. mellifera Specifically, we sequenced trnL (UAA) intron DNA barcodes from isolated pollen fro... | 2023 | |

Green, Austin | Measuring occupancy and occurrence of medium and large mammals in Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area using motion-activated camera traps | With expanding urbanization and development, human encroachment on wilderness areas continues to increase. In Utah, much of the once pristine and untouched mountain ecosystems of the Wasatch Front have been developed for recreation and other human use, and this increasing human-wildlife interaction... | Red Butte Canyon (Salt Lake County, Utah); Wilderness area monitoring - United States; Wildlife conservation - Utah | |

Lee, Hani | Post-traumatic headache: an opportunity to develop new preclinical models for better understanding of pathology and treatment | Post-traumatic headache (PTH) is identified as one of the most frequent symptoms following traumatic brain injury (TBI) (Faux & Sheedy, 2008). Despite the high prevalence, there are currently no treatments which specifically target PTH. Instead of etiology-specific treatments, individuals suffering ... | 2022 | |

Pearson, Cassidy | Major Urinary Protiens as a signal of genetic Quality and Infection status | The Hamilton-Zuk hypothesis suggests that susceptibility to infectious disease is so important that many physical traits, particularly secondary sexual characters, will evolve to signal genetic quality for resistance to prospective mates. We expanded upon this theory using the house mouse (Mus muscu... | 2018 | |

Garzella, Erin | Coinfection of Malaria and gammaherpesvirus in B cells and macrophages | Malaria kills over 600,000 people a year. 67% of those deaths are children under five and pregnant women. Some children get malaria, but they do not die. The reasons for this are not completely understood. Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite, and in sub-Saharan Africa Plasmodium falciparum ... | 2023 | |
