1 Delacenserie, JessicaUtilizing classroom technology to strengthen elementary educationThere is a disconnect in the current education system where there is an abundance of technology accessible to students but it is not being used in a way that enhances their education. The majority of software currently used in primary schools simply transfers books, homework assignments, etc. to mob...Education, Elementary; Computer-assisted instruction; Education - Effect of technological innovations on2016-05
2 Armstrong, Blair P.Lower critical solution temperature behavior of elastin-coiled-coil polymer, a potential platform for treatment of non-hodgkin's lymphomaNon-Hodgkin's lymphoma takes the lives of 20,000 Americans each year. When traditional therapies fail, clinicians have turned to a drug, rituximab, for treatment. However, rituximab is now curative for less than 50% of patients and new treatments are needed. Drug-free macromolecular therapeutics (DF...2021
3 Hyer, Christina CottrellEffect of M1 Matrix Protein on Hemagglutinin Expression and Influenza Virus-Like Particle Production in Trichoplusia NIVirus-like particles (VLPs) are a new and effective flu vaccine approach. VLPs are non-infectious and can produce robust immune responses. Flu VLPs are typically created by co-expressing the flu hemagglutinin (HA) surface antigen and the matrix protein M1-which assists in viral and VLP budding-in cu...2017
4 Wang, Karissa M.Transcription factor NFATc1's signaling pathway and role in cardiomyocyte functionAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia. It affects as many as 6.1 million people in the United States and increases their risk of stroke by 4-5 times. AF is evidently a very serious condition, but the scientific community does not yet fully understand its underlying mechani...2020
5 Lei, Jeffrey KaChonIncreased gluti expression in mouse cardiomyocytes preserves mitochondrial function but is insufficient to attenuate pressure overload-induced contractile dysfunctionLifelong over-expression of GLUT1 transporter in the heart has been shown to preserve contractile function after aortic constriction. However it is unclear whether this protective effect is due to GLUT1 overexpression itself or due to reprogramming of heart metabolism as a result of long-term increa...Bioengineering2013-04
6 Javdan, ShwanTargeted HPMA copolymer-gemcitabine conjugates for the treatment of ovarian carcinomaEach year in the United States, over 14,000 women die from ovarian cancer. Anthracyclines-a class of chemotherapeutics-have long been the primary treatment for this and many other cancers, yet they often leave patients with cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and a number of other adverse effects. Polym...Ovaries -- Cancer -- Treatment; Polymeric drug delivery systems; Polymer-drug conjugates; pHPMA2015-12
7 Traction estimation and control for mobil robots using wheel slip velocityMobile robots are used to venture through types of environments, at low wheel speeds, where wheel slip is a threat. Wheel slip is a hazard to mobile robots in that it introduces error in dead reckoning measurement and in some instances causes the robot to halt its forward progress. To compensate ...Robots; Motion;Traction2008-12
8 Gibbs, Drake S.The hero's journey as found within outer wildsThe "Monomyth", otherwise known as the "The Hero's Journey," is the title of the seventeen steps Campbell described in his examination of myths, legends, and fables across the world. Even in the tales of today, the presence of the Monomyth still is seen in many narratives, including the newest story...2023
9 Nielson, ClarkGel-Cast fluorapatite scaffolding for bone repairCalcium-phosphate bioceramics have long been attempted as replacement bone substitutes due to their resemblance to the mineral component of natural bone tissue, and because their dissolution byproducts can elicit new bone growth. Many studies have demonstrated that fluoridated hydroxyapatite, or flu...2021
10 Jackson, Dale JayAerodynamic mixing losses and discharge coefficients due to film cooling from a symmetric turbine airfoil in transonic flowAerodynamic losses and discharge coefficients are obtained for two different Pratt and Whitney axisymetric turbine airfoils with film cooling holes. Blade 3 results are given for the blowing ratios, of 0.42, 0.73, and 1.28. The pressure ratios are 1.18, 1.45, and 2.07 for the "ambient" tests and 1.1...Mechanical Engineering1998-12
