BRIDGING THE GAP FOR ALICE: CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS ACTING AMIDRISING INFLATION AND FURTHER SOLUTIONS USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Author(s): Nikhil Chepuri, Rishika Porandla

Nationwide, nearly 37.9 million U.S. households fall into the Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) population which consists of households making incomes above the Federal Poverty Line (FPL) but below the .....

Study of Supramolecular Antioxidant-Photosensitizer Dyads for Drug Delivery Using Quantum Chemical Descriptors:HOMO-LUMO, Dipole Moment, and Binding Energy

Author(s): Yewon Kelly Jun

The research uses Density Functional Theory to study the molecular and electronic behavior of new supramolecular dyads that link a flavonoid to C60 fullerene and allicin therapeutic agents. The research evaluates their d.....

Determining the Qualitative and Quantitative outcomes of LZTR1 Mutations on Wing Development and Lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster as an Indicator of Disruptions in the Ras/MAPK Pathway

Author(s): Enya Sakhrani, Giovanna Collu

Noonan syndrome affects 1 in 1,000 to 2500 births yearly and results in short stature and congenital heart defects. Mutations in the developmental Ras/Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinase Ras/MAPK) pathway generate Noona.....

The Effect of Copper Sulfate on the Development and Mortality Rate of Artemia salina During and After Remediation

Author(s): Alyson Vargas, Stephanie Rekas

As the world pushes towards net zero emissions, demand for metals and minerals has increased, prompting discussions regarding deep-sea mining to meet this need. Although there is a good understanding of the effect of cop.....

Improving the Effectiveness of Neosporin on Escherichia coli by Supplementation

Author(s): Carissa Spencer

Approximately 95,000 cases of E. coli related food poisoning are reported in the U.S. each year. The purpose of this study is to improve the effectiveness of the antibiotic Neosporin against bacteria by supplementing it .....

Unmasking COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy: Socioeconomic Drivers and Policy Pathways From U.S. Counties to Global Insights

Author(s): Sunay Chawla

This study investigates the socioeconomic determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy through a comprehensive analysis of U.S. county-level data (n = 3244) and international comparisons across 89 countries. Initial variab.....

Art Therapy and Neurodiversity: Therapeutic Outcomes and Societal Perceptions of Creativity in Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Author(s): Ella Choi

Our study examines the social impact of art therapy on neurodivergent subjects. For individuals who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), such as autism or Down syndrome, art therapy provides striking a.....

Fibroblastic reticular cells modulate tumor microenvironment of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)

Author(s): Stella Fratti

In patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), there is an overgrowth of leukemic B-lymphocytes. This proliferation of B-cells requires inputs from the external microenvironment, which provides soluble molecules as.....

Developing a Solar-powered Seawater Hydroponics System Monitored by an Arduino Salinity Sensor

Author(s): Sarah Oh, Benjamin Maciel-Seidman, Aaryan Rupesh

To feed the growing global population, estimates suggest we will have to increase food production by as much as 68 percent by 2050 (Marr, 2022). To aid this issue, we developed a cost effective solar powered seawater bas.....
