The Hand on the Mirror
(2015)Handprints naturally occur due to the glands in our skin that secrete oils leaving ridged patterns behind. This is called a latent handprint. Much research has been done on the idea of latent fingerprints and its continued ... -
Hardware Synthesis of Model Predictive Control on a Programmable Logic Controller
(2020)Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) are a wide-spread tool used in the control of industrial processes. Although they are associated with simple computations and PID control, the PLC has been pushed to the limits in recent ... -
Health disparities: the effects of race/ethnicity and maternal education on infant mortality
(2021)New Jersey has among the highest racial disparity between African American/Black vs White infant mortality (8.8 compared to 2.3 per 1000 live births). In published studies, Black/African American - White racial disparity ... -
Helping girls glow: promoting fitness within a community
(2016)The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the “Girls on the GLOW” program by measuring the aerobic endurance levels, holistic (overall) wellness and perceived self-esteem scores of girls 6-12 years of ... -
Hispanic and white women's responses to health disparity information
(2016)In the United States, the cervical cancer incidence rate is 64% higher among Hispanic women than Non-Hispanic White women (American Cancer Society, 2012). This is one example of a health disparity. Understanding how people ... -
How much can neural networks learn about jellyfish?
(2021)Neural Networks can approximate real-valued, discrete values and vector-valued functions. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have inputs neurons, hidden layers, and output neurons. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has ... -
Howard Crosby Butler Archive
(2020)The Howard Crosby Butler archive is a collection of materials relevant to the expeditions taken by Butler and others to Syria and the surrounding area in the late 19th and early 20th century. The group surveyed hundreds ... -
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 ... -
Identifying proteins that coordinate RNA synthesis with splicing: effects of a esa1-254 point mutation on splicing in yeast
(2021)The ability for the eukaryotic cell to maintain homeostasis depends significantly on the cell’s adaptability to changes in surrounding environments. In order to maintain an internal balance, protein synthesis is highly ... -
Immigrant preschoolers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania: investigating cultural beliefs and practices in early childhood education classrooms
(2016)The Immigrant Preschoolers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania Project is a video ethnographic study that investigates cultural beliefs and practices in early childhood classrooms that are often unidentified or ignored. Preschools ... -
The Impact of Street Geocoding on Crime Hot Spot Prediction
(2015)Geocoding is used in criminology in a variety of settings. Law enforcement agencies use geocoding to help determine hot spot crime locations within their jurisdiction. Hot spot locations are those where crimes are found ... -
Inhibition Increases Modularity in Bursting Neuronal Networks
(2020)Neuronal networks in dissociated cultures spontaneously generate synchronous activity known as network bursting, which is characterized by the firing of nearly all neurons every 30−100 seconds. There has been much research ... -
Initial Reliability and Validity of the Parent Anticipatory Loss Scale
(2018)Expanded healthy life span is a global phenomenon. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Global average life expectancy increased by 5.5 years between 2000 and 2016, the fastest increase since the 1960s” (WHO, ... -
Integrated Grip Design for Sequential Use in a Bioreactor and Mechanical Testing Frame
(2019)This work focused on design, manufacture, and testing of a grip system for holding intact native ECM scaffold in a bioreactor designed by our lab. The bioreactor has the capability to apply loads and maintain a bioactive ... -
Interactive Effects of Emotional Labor and Occupational Identity on Job Attitudes
(2014)Our study examined how occupational identity moderates the effects of surface acting, a form of emotion management, on job attitudes. We applied social identity theory (SIT) to explain differences in how individuals are ... -
International trade restrictions and endangered species populations an economic analysis
(2017)We examine the effects of endangered species trade restrictions enacted by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) on species’ population trends over time. Utilizing ... -
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 ... -
Investigating additive manufacturing safety in prek-12: informing a safer learning envrionment
(2017)Additive Manufacturing technologies (e.g. 3D Printing) have been propelled into the PreK-12school environment. As reported by Love and Roy (2016), the rapid adoption of 3D printing has led to concerns over unforeseen ...
