Macrophages are a type of immune cell present in the tumor micro environment that can be polarized by the cancer cells to aid in the growth and proliferation of the tumor. The goal of this study was...
Many individual factors contribute to the development of mental health disorders and feeding and eating disorders (FEDs) (Martin et al, 2019). FEDs may have an affect on the mental and physical health...

This project examines the effect of playing live, violin music at the bedside of high-risk pregnant patients staying in the Perinatal Special Care Unit at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and...
Neutron star crust cooling can give insights to the interior composition of the stars. Using dStar and the neutron star cooling simulation code NSCool, a variable mass is accreted onto different...
Hand hygiene compliance has shown to be low in both the healthcare and public setting. This study evaluates the rates of hand hygiene compliance of a regular hand sanitizer dispenser to one with a...
Current Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity threats were investigated using current literature and direct examination of IoT devices including the 3D printer control software OctoPrint, the...
Measuring the distribution of mechanical pressure across a surface is useful in a wide variety of applications, but traditional measurement tools are either very expensive or single-use. Here we...
Wear Justice is a social movement that exists to rethink consumerism through community. At its beginning in 2018, Wear Justice drew over a thousand attendees at Point Loma Nazarene University and has...
The oncoprotein E7 coded for by the human papillomavirus (HPV) is known to degrade the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma protein (pRb). Transient transfections of a plasmid coding for the E7 protein...
Acrolein is an efficient agricultural herbicide within irrigation canal ditches and a biocide within oilfield water-flood systems. The fate of acrolein is typically attributed to evaporation, however...
It all began with an in class writing exercise. “Today, I want you all to write an elegy for your favorite celebrity,” my professor challenged. Immediately, my mind went to big names like Eleanor...
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) encodes a cancer-causing protein, E7, that degrades a known tumor suppressor retinoblastoma (pRb). This project studied the role of polarity in high-risk HPV16 E7...
Bacteriophage λ procapsids as effective drug transporters provide promising means of patient care and treatment within the medical field with implications in targeted drug delivery. The 3D icosahedral...
Canis latrans, or the coyote, is a resilient species whose populations are currently expanding into Central America potentially creating harmful repercussions for local wildlife. The increasing...
The ELOVL4 enzyme is required to generate very long-chain fatty acids with structural and functional importance in the retina. Genetic defects in ELOVL4 are responsible for Stargardt’s disease...
In the COVID-19 pandemic many students faced social isolation, online schooling, and stressful experiences that led to new highs in depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and loneliness. This study...
Nitrogen-metallocyclic carbenes (NMCs) are a new class of molecules to be studied in recent years that provide the capacity to be used in the development of new electronic materials or catalysts. My...
With the fast-paced evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria around the globe comes the emergence of novel genes which confer these resistances, usually located on supplemental DNA known as plasmids...
This project studied how the women in the Imperial Ottoman Harem during the reign of Sueliman I were portrayed in the modern Turkish television series 'Magnificent Century.' The series contained three...
Bacteriophage Lambda is a complex virus containing a capsule-like structure known as a procapsid. In a lab setting, plasmids are used to synthesize these structures, but previous experimentation has...
Deadlifting is a common powerlifting exercise that is primarily used to strengthen muscles in the trunk and lower extremities. This comparative analysis helps identify the changes in biomechanics due...
Citrus Greening Disease is a bacterial disease from the organism Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). Citrus greening affects tree health as well as fruit development, ripening and quality...
Natural products are small organic molecules which are presumed to increase the overall fitness of an organism. Their synthesis is encoded by biosynthetic gene clusters wherein analogous sequences can...
