The impacts of ecotourism on wildlife are seldom studied, and the popularization of ecotourism may have unintended consequences for wildlife. Using camera trap data from a well-used trail in the...

A potent inhibitor of 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate synthase (IspF) has the potential to serve as a new class of antibiotic. In this project, we explored the development of such an...

Plasmids carry antibiotic resistance genes which have a devastating impact on health and medicine. The plasmid backbone genes are also critical in understanding the effect plasmids have on a genome...

Radiation shielding is essential to future missions of space exploration due to increased time of exposure to harmful radiation. One of the most damaging and dicult types of radiation to stop is High...

Anthrax is a deadly infection caused by spores of the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Part of the bacterium’s virulence is derived from the lethal toxin bipartite protein complex that...

"'Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe,' according to Gallileo. Here, John Noonan explains that as we discover new mathematical truth, we gain a greater understanding of...

This multifaceted study first analyzes the causes and significance of the rise of big data in recent decades. Secondly, the savings group development model is explained along with its advantages and...

During the 17th century prominent mathematicians became fascinated with the cycloid curve. It was their favorite example to use in the development of their new ideas and theorems. They would use it to...

Jaguar and puma are the largest predators in Mesoamerica and share both habitat and prey. To understand how they coexist, I explored interspecific competition and avoidance by conducting occupancy...

Sinularia is a genus of soft coral whose species exhibit a spectrum of two complementary methods of defense against predation: sharp spines (physical defense) and cytotoxic compounds (chemical defense...

This paper examines some of the complexities of the public key encryption system RSA. RSA provides the necessary steps to encrypt messages using modular arithmetic. It doesn’t require separate parties...

A new type of quantum eraser using hyperentangled photon pairs is proposed. Whereas a typical quantum eraser makes use of photons that are entangled in a single quantum state, usually in polarization...

Our current standard theory of gravity is unable to fully explain the accelerating expansion of the universe. This expansion seems to imply a repulsive force associated with gravitational interaction...

An integrative solid-state nuclear track detector (CR-39) was used to measure energetic charged particles formed during an electrochemical co-deposition of Pd/D. Tracks of alpha particles ranging in...

A homomorphic encryption scheme built on polynomial rings is studied. The construction of irreducible polynomials in a given field is considered and implemented. Isomorphisms between two fields are...

This is a self-contained paper assuming no background knowledge of knot theory. A knot is a closed curve in three-dimensional space that does not intersect itself anywhere. A (double) crossing is...

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...

Many preservatives are artificial but there are more healthy alternative compounds present in nature to kill the bacteria. This study looked into essential oils, and lipids/fatty acids that are made...

Anamnesis is a short story about memory, guilt, and how forgiveness must truly acknowledge transgression to be meaningful. Through a narrative fractured by flashbacks, it tells the story of, Andrew, a...

Sentiment analysis is a machine learning, Natural Language Processing technique that associates text with their given emotion. It is often used by marketers to gain insights into their customers...
