The human papillomavirus (HPV) contains hundreds of serotypes that have been divided into low-risk versus high-risk variants. Whereas low-risk serotypes have been shown to cause benign skin lesions...
This study examines the relationship between the epigenetic mechanism of DNA methylation and phenotypic plasticity, a measure of adaptability, in tomatoes and sweet peppers. Groups of plants were...
Infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancers. This study establishes a protocol for the expression of a host-cell protein domain targeted by HPV. This...
To analyze the mental health status of student-athletes following COVID-19 induced social isolation, perceptions of depression, anxiety, and stress were measured before and after athletes return to...
Comparing the effects of a percent based training program against a velocity based training program on the outcomes of strength, power and speed. Also assessing the reliability of load-velocity...
The idea for this study came from the shortage of research that has been done to understand the evolution instruction provided by new secondary education teachers. A lack of training in teachers can...
The purpose of this study arose from a pilot-study problem observed of acceptance of microevolution among those who identified as holding a creationist worldview or as having misgivings about the...
The purpose of this paper was to examine the long term consequences of repeated brain injury through a cadaveric dissection. For this literature review, the limbic system will be the anatomical...
The objective of this study was to determine transfer frequencies of multidrug resistance plasmids under different conjugation conditions: liquid cultures, batch biofilms, and drip-flow biofilms...
Previous literature in volleyball biomechanics highlighted jump height and ball speed as key determinants for the success of regular spikes. To further current research and provide athletes and...
Deadlifting is a common powerlifting exercise that is primarily used to strengthen muscles in the trunk and lower extremities. This comparative analysis helps identify the changes in biomechanics due...
Citrus Greening Disease is a bacterial disease from the organism Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). Citrus greening affects tree health as well as fruit development, ripening and quality...
Natural products are small organic molecules which are presumed to increase the overall fitness of an organism. Their synthesis is encoded by biosynthetic gene clusters wherein analogous sequences can...
The human papillomavirus is a leading cause of cervical cancer around the world. This oncovirus uses proteins like E7 to hijack the cell cycle by binding to cellular proteins, such as pRb. Another...
Bacteriophage lambda procapsids have shown promising uses as viral nanoparticles, as its structure allows for the possibility of drug encapsulation. The icosahedral procapsid consists of several...
Ruminants are herbivorous mammals, characterized by a pre-gastric organ, the rumen. Microbes within the rumen are responsible for feed breakdown. The rumen microbiome of livestock has been extensively...
To elucidate gene flow between hydrothermal vent communities, shrimp species Opaepele loihi and Rimicaris variabilis were sampled at the underwater Mata volcanoes near Tonga. A fragment of the...
Gastropod Ifremeria nautilei was collected at deep-sea hydrothermal vents at the underwater Mata Volcanoes near Tonga to investigate gene flow and population structure between and within vent...
Marine organisms commonly produce an abundance of natural products, some of which have been found to have important medicinal, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. Sarcophyton glaucum is a...
This study assesses the effectiveness of music as a teaching tool for science classrooms. Average test scores across three assessments were compared in two sixth grade classrooms to determine if...
This study analyzes the impact of hydropathy on high- and low-risk serotypes of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). A review and categorization of HPV serotypes was performed alongside an investigation of...
A population genetic study of brittle stars was conducted in the Gulf of Mexico to study patterns of gene flow and population structure. Mitochondrial DNA from 85 samples was extracted, amplified, and...
Citrus Greening Disease is an illness caused by a bacterium that renders citrus fruit unmarketable and kills infected citrus trees. Good bacteria in the microbiota of citrus trees may produce an...
This project seeks to characterize the cellular interactions within the tumor microenvironment that lead to polarization of macrophages, away from the tumor-fighting M1 phenotype and towards the tumor...
Evolution by natural selection is foundational in biology, yet decades of science education research have shown that common alternative conceptions often persist after college biology instruction...
