Current Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity threats were investigated using current literature and direct examination of IoT devices including the 3D printer control software OctoPrint, the...

Measuring the distribution of mechanical pressure across a surface is useful in a wide variety of applications, but traditional measurement tools are either very expensive or single-use. Here we...

Radiation shielding is essential to future missions of space exploration due to increased time of exposure to harmful radiation. One of the most damaging and dicult types of radiation to stop is High...

Anthrax is a deadly infection caused by spores of the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Part of the bacterium’s virulence is derived from the lethal toxin bipartite protein complex that...

Macrophages are able to polarize from a basal, naïve state to an M1 or M2 phenotype. M1 pro-inflammatory macrophages are characterized by recognizing and eliminating abnormal cells, while M2 anti...

This paper will dedicate itself to understanding the way that language functions in relation to the human condition. Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations and Saul Kripke’s Wittgenstein...

The human microbiota is a thriving ecosystem that has remained a great mystery, as we have yet to develop a complete understanding of its complex nature and capabilities. Nonetheless, numerous studies...
