Thomas, Madison | Possible systems of female sexuality | Previous research found that women tend to exhibit sexual fluidity more than men (Diamond, 2008). This conclusion has led to the desire for research to unde rstand sexuality and the possible life events that impact ideas, behaviors, and sexual identity. The main research question being explored in t... | Women - Sexual behavior | 2015-12 |

Lei, Jeffrey KaChon | Increased gluti expression in mouse cardiomyocytes preserves mitochondrial function but is insufficient to attenuate pressure overload-induced contractile dysfunction | Lifelong 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... | Bioengineering | 2013-04 |

Cox, Mitchell | Exploring exercise adherence: the impact of exercise intensity and variability on affect during exercise | Physical exercise increases affect, and increased affect is associated with greater adherence to exercise. Group exercise is a popular form of exercise, yet little is known regarding the impact of exercise intensity and variability on during-exercise affect. Furthermore, little is known regarding th... | Psychology | 2014-04 |

Smith, Jaclynn Kehaulani | A feasibility trial to determine the effect of mindfulness on weight-loss maintenance | PURPOSE: Over 70% of all adults in the U.S. have overweight and obesity. Weight loss is often recommended to improve overall health and risk of disease. However, weight regain following intentional weight loss is common and diminishes initial improvements. Therefore, interventions aimed at attenuati... | | 2023 |

Perez, Yerry | Cita a matchmaking mobile app: an analysis of why developers choose certain frameworks | Software developers have an array of tools to help them create new technologies. Therefore, it is important that they distinguish which tools are right for the task they are trying to complete. As time progresses new tools for developers emerge and some gain popularity faster than others. This thesi... | | 2021 |

Greenberg, Kevin | The effect the duration and location of rest breaks have on sustained attention and reaction time | Humans general system of sustained attention is susceptible to fatigue. The Attention Restoration Theory postulates when the system is fatigued exposure to natural environments may help to restore the fatigued resources. However, the duration and location of exposure needed is unknown, therefore the... | Rest periods; Hours of labor | 2016-04 |
