Only 48% of preschool-aged children from low-income families are ready for school at the age of 5 years compared to 75% of children from high income families. Children from under resourced communities are impacted by Social ...

As primary producers, plants have evolved an arsenal of defense strategies in response to herbivory and environmental stresses. Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are involved in plant secondary metabolism with biochemical pathways ...

Objective: Operate non-essential loads that perform time insensitive tasks at time (e.g.) late night) when electricity prices are low.

Barnacles are found throughout the world’s oceans, and their success depends on a hard, mineralized, outer shell that protects the soft tissue. Prevention and removal of barnacles from vessels and structures in the ocean ...

Our group is using computer simulations to investigate the strength of bacterial filaments called type IV pili. Type IV pili extend from bacterial cells and are used in a wide variety of functions, including adhesion, ...

The purpose of the SNACK pilot study was to increase the fitness and health of children age 7-9 years of age in two Mercer county elementary schools. This was achieved by providing fundamental Integrative training (FIT) ...

Black women experience worse PTSD symptoms following campus sexual assault (CSA) compared to their White peers (Ullman & Filipas, 2001). They also receive worse reactions from others upon disclosure of the assault, likely ...

This project proposes an iterative first-order gradient method for solving convex quadratic programming problems, which involve the optimization of a quadratic function with multiple variables subject to linear constraints. ...

Type IV pili are thin, long, strong, flexible filaments that are found in gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. They stretch out from pores in the membrane of the bacteria. These filaments are very important for many ...
