Undergraduates In The News
Online platforms like social media or “smart” appliances capture intimate aspects of our daily lives. This captured consumer data is now one of the most coveted resources of the 21st century. As personal data is increasingly caught between corporations and governments, consumers are inadvertently finding themselves vulnerable to regulations that restrict the movement of consumer data.
In recent years, concern for the decline in bee populations has increased. With potentially tremendous negative impacts on our ecosystem, the decline in bee population is of legitimate concern, not simply some trendy social media hashtag. The mason bees (genus Osmia) are a prevalent group of cavity-nesting bees in the Mid-Atlantic United States.
Transforming Community Spaces, or TCS, is a project intended to provide guidance to communities and institutions in finding ways to understand the histories associated with contested spaces and how they can reconcile those histories with the current use of the space. Case studies on specific communities compose one aspect of the project.
Since 1978, the American Society of News Editors (ASNE) has collected demographic data on the country’s newsrooms as part of its efforts to “drive the quest for diversity and inclusion in the workplace and in news content across all platforms.” The central assumption behind these efforts is that by increasing diversity in the newsroom, journalists will produce news that better reflects the need
This research project is designed to collect data about the diet of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to analyze how their diet may differ from those without this disease, and if these differences affect the development of autistic behavioral symptoms.
Understanding the conductivity of battery cells are an important part of determining their worth. Ionic conductivity defines a battery's ability for ions to move through its electrode structures; a higher conductivity allows for more ions to pass through at a given time, improving the capacity at higher discharge rates.
This presentation reports on an ongoing study designed to test the effects of KT109 and a supplemental, proprietary drug in reducing inflammation in those suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD involves the excess of fatty tissue in the liver and can lead to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis.
Dopamine (DA) is an important neurotransmitter in the brain, and issues with DA signaling are associated with many different neurologic and psychiatric disorders. DA related processes are highly conserved, which enables the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to be used as a model organism to study DA.
In this study, we seek to identify a relationship between the content of campaigns of Congressional candidates and their legislative effectiveness once in office. We believe that by applying previous indicators researched by the Center of Effective Lawmaking we have identified in campaigns 15 variables that may predict legislative effectiveness.
The end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union initiated a revival of nationalism in Russia. In the 1990s, Russians began grappling with their national identity in new and profound ways, and some came to believe that Russia was strictly for Russians.
The purpose of the George Washington Financial Papers Project is to compile the financial documents of George Washington into an accessible digital edition.
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death from trauma, yet little research has been done in the pre-hospital first aid environment to evaluate the best methods for first aid bleeding control. The most common technique and first line therapy for bleeding control in the first aid setting is the use of direct pressure, with which slows bleeding and promotes clotting.
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of highly porous, crystalline substances with many possible applications in areas such as gas separation, energy storage, catalysis, and sensing. In order to implement MOFs into such applications on an industrial scale, faster methods for their synthesis must be developed.
Parent-involvement is a verifiable predictor of academic success among primary school students (LeFevre & Shaw, 2011). And yet, Latino parents are less likely to reach out to teachers first because they find the U.S. education system to be daunting (Auerbach, 2004).
Large granular lymphocytic (LGL) leukemia is a rare hematological cancer characterized by a clonal expansion of either cytotoxic T cells or natural killer (NK) cells. These cells normally function to remove cancer cells and virally infected cells. However in LGLL, these cells are expanded even in the absence of known antigens.
