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 ... -
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 ... -
Your health matters: improving health outcomes though health education/promotion among an urban population
(2021)The College of New Jersey Department of Nursing in collaboration with HomeFront will be starting a program entitled: “Your Health Matters,” a program for health coaching and health education for the residents of HomeFront. ... -
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
(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 ... -
Assessing the perceptions of COVID-19 vaccine messaging tactics and identifying factors that contribute to hesitancy among African American populations
(2021)Increase use of social media and rampant circulation of misinformation is one of the greatest challenges to overcome in the dissemination of the COVID-19 vaccine. While COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy is present in all ... -
3D-printed microfluidic devices with short nanofibers incorporated
(2021)Microfabrication free methods for manufacturing microfluidic devices is key to lower entry cost for microfluidics. Using a modified fused deposition modeling (FDM) printer and electrospinning (ES) setup, our team has ... -
Investigating evolution in recently established populations of stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(2021)Stickleback fish is a model organism for studying evolution and behavior. Its ancestral, marine population is extant. Marine stickleback regularly colonize freshwater lakes. Each population has variable features due to ... -
Recessed electrode contacts to minimize tissue damage from deep brain stimulation
(2021)Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established method of treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor. A DBS electrode is surgically implanted and applies voltage pulses ... -
Novel recessed curvature electrode to increase selectivity in deep brain stimulation
(2021)Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a clinical technique utilized in the treatment of neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, and essential tremors. Surgically implanted, DBS electrodes are cylindrical and typically ... -
ROSCOE educators; faculty/peer mentoring for first generation education students
(2021)First generation students are the first in their immediate family to attend college. This can include students with parents who did not complete a 4 year college degree in the United States or who completed a 4 year college ... -
Exploring Black immigrant students' educational experiences in k-12 schools
(2021)Chapter 3. Complicating k-12 social support: gatekeepers and shepherds: This chapter will focus on the people Black immigrant children interact with inside and outside of schools. It explores the how, to what extent, and ... -
Progress towards the synthesis of base metal catalysts for CO2 functionalization
(2021)Atmospheric CO₂ provides a renewable reservoir of carbon that could be used to produce MeOH for fuel and chemical feedstocks. CO₂ is kinetically inert, so catalysis is necessary (homogeneous catalysis preferable). Iron-based ...
