CABPortal: leveraging collective intelligence to improve sustainability of web-based portals
(2021)CABPortal is a web-based portal designed to make resources associated with the CAB (Collaborating Across Boundaries) model publicly available. Resources include: examples of course collaborations, projects, assessment ... -
Calibrating the peak flow coefficient for the NRCS dimensionless unit hydrograph equation for the state of New Jersey
(2017)Unit hydrographs are used to predict the response of a watershed to precipitation events when historical data is not available. They utilize the physical characteristics of each watershed, specifically, slope, longest ... -
Can a Human-Centered Design Activity Improve the Quality of Low Vision Simulations?
(2020)Technology and Engineering educators engage their students with everchanging design activities. One recent trend in problem solving classes are low vision simulations. They can take many forms from blindfolds to low vision ... -
Cardiorespiratory Responses of 5HT-Deficient Pet-1 Knockout Mice to Repetitive Anoxic Challenges Following in Utero Nicotine Exposure
(2020)We previously tested the effects of developmental nicotine exposure (DNE) on breathing behavior in intact and unanesthetized neonatal wild type (WT) and Pet-1 knockout (KO) mice. Nicotine is a neuroteratogen, a major ... -
Cellular differentiation in Volvox powersii
(2021)Volvocine green algae has proven to be a model system for studying multicellularity. The volvocine green algae genus Volvox consists of a wide variety of species that all share a large number of sterile somatic cells, a ... -
Characterization of barnacle glue morphology on hydrophobic surfaces
(2016)Barnacle glue, as an adhesive, is extremely complex and has yet to be characterized successfully. Barnacles themselves are marine organisms that adhere to a vast number of surfaces both above and below water. Due to the ... -
Characterization of the Coronavirus Pandemic on Signalized Intersections Using Probe Vehicle Data
(2020)With the coronavirus pandemic, a unique scenario was created where a visual approach could show how drastically speeds throughout the day have changed. Due to its potentially high infection rates, the state closed public ... -
Characterizing congestion impact of road diet lane reduction using probe vehicle data
(2021)As our society continues to promote vehicles as the primary means of travel, pedestrians and bicyclists in local communities tend to be neglected, causing unsafe conditions for those travelers. To combat this, road diets ... -
Characterizing Novel Peptides as Anti-Thrombosis Agents
(2015)The peptides in this study are based on two peptides in the literature that competitively bind collagen. The literature compounds would be degraded by the body’s enzymes due to the presence of the unstable disulfide bond ... -
Combined Effects of Hind-Limb Suspension and Immobilization on Bone Fracture Mechanics
(2020)Scientists around the world are working to address not only how to get to Mars, but also how to make it possible for humans to safely make the journey and live on Mars. Microgravity environments, outside of Earth’s ... -
Combined Hind Limb Suspension and Srankle on Bone Strength in Mic by Finite Element Analysis: Effects of Anatomic Model Height
(2019)With commercial space travel on the horizon, it is necessary to understand how the microgravity environment present in space impacts bone in conjunction with the osteoporotic effects of aging. The microgravity environment ... -
Conductive polymers nanofibers for electrochemical sensing applications
(2021)This project aims to overcome the challenges of assessing the cytotoxicity of engineered nanomaterials using traditional assay-based methods by offering real-time insight into changes in cell signaling. Conductive nanofibers ... -
Conversations across boundaries
(2021)The CAB project, funded by the National Science Foundation, aims to study how collaboration between disciplines can improve STEM learning for undergraduates. In courses participating in the CAB project, two classes from ... -
Coordinated Gene Activity of Pattern Sets (CoGAPS)
(2015)Cancer, one of the leading causes of death, is a group of complex genetic diseases that result from changes to genes which cause abnormal cell growth. CoGAPS, an R package that utilizes a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo ... -
Coupling between key steps in gene expression: a role for the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase and the variant histone Htz1 in co-transcriptional RNA processing
(2021)Gene expression is a tightly regulated process that involves properly synthesizing an RNA transcript from DNA, and splicing it correctly to prepare it for proper translation into a protein. We focused on two key steps: ... -
Covalently Crosslinked Alginate Nanofibers
(2019)Human activities, including the burning of fossil fuels and various industrial activities, generate dangerously elevated concentrations of harmful heavy metals. These toxic metals ultimately make their way into water ... -
Cross-linked Alginate Membranes: reusable, permanently cross-linked electrospun nanofibers for remediation of metal-contaminated water
(2015)Metals in elemental, inorganic and organic forms are found ubiquitously in all areas of the earth, including marine and aquatic environments. While some dissolved metal ions are essential to life, others are highly toxic ... -
Cryptic genetic variation in threespine stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(2017)Determine if Threespine Stickleback fish raised in either high or low salinities exhibit cryptic genetic variation in head morphology.
