Studying the Folding Pathway of Truncated and Full-Length Human Serum Albumin via FCS
(2014)Single molecule fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) can be used to determine the specific folding pathway of a fluorescently labeled protein by measuring the fluorescence intensity fluctuations caused by single ... -
“I’m not an English teacher”: Understanding the Relationship Among STEM Teacher Self-efficacy, Pedagogy, and Culture in the Classroom
(2014)Albert Bandura's (1977) concept of self-efficacy, or one's belief in his/her ability to organize and execute a desired action, has been adopted by the educational community to examine some of the ways in which teachers ... -

MUSE 2014 Booklet
(2014)TCNJ prides itself on the teacher scholar model where faculty are not only excellent instructors to our students, but also generate new knowledge or creative projects in their disciplines. TCNJ’s 2014 MUSE (Mentored ... -
Microparticles in Three Dimensional Thrombus Formation
(2015)Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot under pathological conditions. The growth of thrombi may be accelerated by the presence of circulating cell-derived vesicles, termed microparticles (MPs). Previous studies have ... -
Psychosocial Predictors of Racial Health Disparities Awareness
(2015)The purpose of the present study was to measure the public’s awareness of racial/ethnic health disparities and to examine the effect of priming participants’ belief systems on racial/ethnic health disparities awareness. -
Resveratrol Derivatives to Pass the Blood Brain Barrier
(2015)The Krebs cycle contains several carboxylic acid intermediates that have been found in observable levels in the brain. In this study, resveratrol is conjugated to different Krebs cycle intermediates to investigate whether ... -
Maximum Parsimony Advances for Native Phylogenetic Stemmatics
(2015)Our ultimate aim is to design an algorithm that generates the most parsimonious tree where extant texts may be ancestors of other texts. The algorithm accepts a set of extant manuscripts or a multiple alignment of such ... -
Development of Deposition Devices Using Electrostatic Force
(2015)During the 2015 MUSE program, a prototype of modular device was fabricated and tested and the design of the x-y stage system was completed. We also examined effects of multiple processing parameters on microsphere formation ... -
Thin Film Fabrication and Exploring the Application of the Beer Lambert Law to Measure Thin Film Thickness
(2015)Manipulation of the concentration of polymer host APC and the spin speed of a spin-coater organic thin films of Disperse Red or DR1 can be fabricated to around the thickness of .6 microns. Thickness measurements were ... -
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 ... -
Analysis of Pollen Morphology to Predict Pollination Syndrome In Artocarpus (Moraceae)
(2015)Here we examine the morphology of pollen to determine its utility in predicting pollination mode. We used light microscopy and SEM to describe and quantify pollen from 16 species representing all major dades of Artocarpus. -
Investigating the structure and dynamics of the Type IV Pili disassembly motor PilT
(2015)The pilT motor in the organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa was simulated using molecular dynamics. The structure of the system is hexameric. The entire pilT hexamer as well as the individual monomers were simulated with the ... -
Investigation of Ionic Liquid Interactions with a Lipid Bilayer
(2015)The objective of this research is to understand the fundamental physical processes at play when ionic liquids diffuse into lipid bilayers, and eventually to be able to use molecular models to predict novel ionic liquids ... -
Growing Green Thinkers: Young Children's Concepts of Environmental Sustainability
(2015)This study examined young children’s views on nature, environment and trees as habitats through focus group interviews and student drawings. The research team first held a 10-20 minute focus group discussion with the ... -
Smart Nutrition and Conditioning for Kids (SNACK): An Interdisciplinary Approach to Early Health And Wellness Education
(2015)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) ...
