Implementing timed Petri net for modeling and simulation in card gameplay
(2020-03-09)Petri nets (PNs) are a form of directed graph that can be used to model and simulate systems. They are very useful tool for developing and analyzing algorithms, prior to implementation. Adding the component of time, allows ... -
Investigating a hard X-ray luminous AGN at high-redshift
(2021)J131453.78+243554.1, or “J1314” for short, is a galaxy serendipitously discovered by NuSTAR (during an observation of IC 860) that has peculiar multiwavelength properties. It is bright in hard X-rays with a previously ... -
Gene expression and growth analysis of CYP72A enzymes in corn and Arabidopsis
(2021)In response to various environmental stresses, several plant species have developed an arsenal of defense strategies to combat abiotic stresses. Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are one of the largest enzyme families that have been ... -
Person-centered care for institutionalized older adults in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil: a case study
(2021)As countries become more developed and undergo a demographic transition, the number of older adults is expected to grow at an increasing rate (Sköldunger, 2020). This change in population structure leads to a heightened ... -
Whiteness as negative space: exploring teacher candidates' narratives about race, racism, and schooling
(2021)This study explores the degree to which (and manner in which) Whiteness is rendered visible ('White space') and/or invisible ('White negative space') in teacher candidates' autobiographical reflections about education, ... -
Investigating the effectiveness of a visual cybersickness questionnaire
(2021)Cybersickness is a form of motion sickness that occurs as a result of exposure to immersive eXtended Reality (XR) environments, such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications. Common symptoms of this ... -
Photochemistry of 2-pyridones with para-substituted benzenes
(2021)In pharmaceuticals, there is a large use of complex heterocyclic scaffolds that require long syntheses. Specifically, drugs containing pyridones are becoming increasingly more common, especially with containing 2-pyridones. ... -
Do elementary schools ignore physics?
(2021)Many secondary students claim that they have never learned physics, despite being currently enrolled in a physics class. The students were able to easily name and describe topics of biology but could name fewer for chemistry ... -

Investigating the effects of glutamylation on C. elegans
(2021)TTLL enzymes are responsible for microtubule glutamylation, which promotes centriole stability and cilia motility. CCPP-1, homolog of human CCP1, regulates ciliary localization of PKD-2 in male specific sensory neurons and ... -
Hyperglutamylation impacts brood size and cilia production in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2021)Mutations of the human ortholog of ccpp-1, CCP1, have been correlated with early onset neurodegeneration including developmental delays, muscular hypotonia, and cerebellar atrophy. A lack of a functional deglutamylase leads ... -
Conversations across boundaries
