Visual Security and Safety (VSS)
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Social Media Networks (SMNs) allow users to post private visual content (images and videos) that exposes sensitive information without warning or attempting to mitigate these risks. This information can be detrimental to ... -
Optical cavity for Raman laser
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Our research seeks to employ magnetic and optical fields to form complex many-body quantum states of the spins of ultra-cold neutral atoms. This summer, I worked with an optical cavity as a part Raman laser system to control ... -
Quantitative assessment of otitis media with effusion with scanning laser Doppler vibrometer - A preliminary study
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a common middle ear inflammation for preschool-age children, with the presence of fluid in the middle ear cavity (MEC). Although the biomechanical abnormalities induced by OME has been ... -
Comparing the effects of viral and bacterial infection on ERG expression in lung blood vessels
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09) -
Bacterial two hybrid analysis of Chlamydia trachomatis proteins
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen which poses severe health problems throughout the world. There are over 90 million new cases annually, making it the most common sexually transmitted ... -
Using fluorescent UPEC as a model to study interactions with human bladder cells
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Escherichia coli (E. coli) are opportunistic bacteria that reside in the intestines of humans and contribute to gastrointestinal health. However, there are some strains that can cause a variety of diseases including urinary ... -
Annexin A2 expression in prostate cancer cells
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Background: Metastasis is a major cause of morbidity in prostate cancer patients, the primary mortality in this disease is metastasis to the bone tissue. Despite substantial efforts to understand prostate cancer metastasis, ... -
Construction of a reusable Gel-Eluted Liquid Fraction Entrapment Electrophoresis (GELFrEE) using 3D printing
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Gel-Eluted Liquid Fraction Entrapment (GELFrEE) is commonly utilized in proteomics research for size-based separation and fractionation of proteins. Commercial GELFrEE cartridges are wasteful due to their single-use ... -
Investigation of the mechanical, collagen microstructural, and morphological properties of human intracranial aneurysms
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) are focal dilations of cerebral arteries caused by the weakening of the arterial wall. The resulting changed hemodynamics can further lead to stress and growth of the site until it eventually ... -
Enzymatic assessment of cells with distinct TP53 mutations
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)The p53 transcription factor, encoded by the human gene TP53, is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancers. Once the TP53 gene is mutated, p53 proteins not only lose their tumor suppression abilities but can also ... -
Setwise stream classification
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)The Setwise Stream Classification Algorithm is a modern take on the subset of machine learning known as classification, potentially allowing larger and more complex datasets to be classified as they are received in real ... -
Screening Warrior Hops for inhibitors of cancer cell metabolism
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)The purpose of this project is to examine the effects of components of Warrior Hops on cancer cell metabolism to better understand the mechanism of infection for SARSCoV-2. In h293 cells (human embryonic kidney cells that ... -
