Dark matter in a simulated dwarf galaxy was replaced with primordial black holes and the resulting radiation is analyzed.

A KNIME pipeline for performing single-cell, multiplex immunofluorescence

The SPRR3 protein does not affect individual integrin function in fibroblasts, supporting that SPRR3 influences the cooperative signaling of integrins and growth factor receptors.

Four variations of the PTHrP promoter were tested to determine which yielded the highest PTHrP expression in order to discern which region is most important for Gli2 activation of PTHrP in Tumor-Induced Bone Disease.

Simulating and quantifying the effects of visual deficits in virtual reality will help individuals, such as medical professionals, better under-stand those suffering from visual impairments.

Through linear modeling, impacts of natural disasters can be estimated to give decision makers information on the duration of a power outage.

An examination of the effect of gelatin concentration on Young’s Modulus preformed for future in vitro Blood Brain Barrier studies.

Cement-based materials were designed and printed on a novel extrusion system, then characterized.

Social fear and intrinsic amygdala function were investigated using the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) and were found to be moderated by a distinct factor – biological sex.

A 2D computational model of an idealized ice sheet was created and validated to understand the relations between ice sheet-ice shelf geometry and mechanical stress.

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder may develop greater language ability following a novel theatre intervention known as SENSE Theatre.

A multi-user collaborative game was created to improve the socialization skills and cognitive aspects of individuals with dementia.

In this report, we use the transportation problem, a classical optimization problem, to optimize police allocation and survival analysis to predict crime. By doing this, we minimize the overall response time for police officers.

The role of the sugar fructose on the induction of extracellular matrix proteins and inflammation in polarized macrophages.

This study examines the effects of noise, attention, and age on neural processing of speech.

A machine learning algorithm was programmed and optimized to predict the activity of enhancer regions of DNA.

A tunable metamaterial was realized in the infrared by adding vanadium dioxide to a gold resonator.

This is a prototype low-cost and easily accessible virtual reality calm room designed to help children with autism spectrum disorder in environments with high levels of sensory input.
