A PROPOSED APPROACH FOR TESTING AN EDUCATIONAL VIRTUAL REALITY SIMULATION FOR END-OF-LIFE CARE
Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming more popular with the continuous introduction of newer and more capable technology. Specifically, VR educational simulations can provide training on complex situations that may be difficult ... -
A WAY TO ASSESS THE IMPAIRMENT OF CEREBRAL AUTOREGULATION IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS UNDER ECMO WITH NEUROIMAGING ABNORMALITIES
(2023-06-22)Cerebral autoregulation protects the healthy brain by maintaining an adequate cerebral blood flow in case of blood pressure changes. Cannulation of great blood vessels and alterations of pulsatile flow patterns during ... -
Academic Stress and Extracurriculars: An Examination of In-Group Identification, Participation Motivation, and Stress in College
Academic stress is a common feature of college life, but excessive stress can have negative effects on academic outcomes, health, and general well-being. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between ... -
Algorithm Development for Automatic Analysis of Biomodal Optical and Electrical Nanosensing Time-Series Data
(2023-06-30)Nanopore biosensors have played an essential role in bio-analyte characterization, but traditional biosensors are limited by short analyte translocation times. Dr. Alexandrakis has invented the Self-induced Back Action ... -
An Analysis of Suicide Coercion
This paper aims to define and understand the linguistic mechanisms behind incidents of suicide coercion. This is accomplished through case studies where there are sufficient records of the incidents that can give insight ... -
An Explainable Artificial Intelligence Approach to Convolutional Neural Network Optimization and Understanding
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) show promise for the technology’s use in widespread biomedical applications. As these models grow more complex, understanding how they work becomes increasingly more difficult. ... -
Antoni Gaudí: Nature & Geometry
(2023-06-30)Antoni Gaudí believed that architecture is the fusion of nature and geometry. He had the power to unite form and structure and he continued to achieve this in his work which made it hold a special place in the history of ... -
APPLLICATION OF CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK TOWARDS IMAGE UPSCALING DEMONSTRATED VIA CHEST X-RAY DATASET
Light Field Microscopy is a 3D imaging technique that sacrifices spatial resolution to capture angular information. A neural network was developed to increase the resolution of images captured. The objective of this study ... -
ARE RISK FACTORS FOR POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION DIFFERENT BETWEEN ADULT AND ADOLESCENT MOTHERS OF INFANTS IN NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE?
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a prevalent and debilitating mental disorder, but limited research exists comparing risk factors between adolescent and adult mothers. To further research comparisons between adolescent and ... -
ASSOCIATION OF INFANT MORTALITY RATES AND HEALTHCARE RESOURCES IN URBAN AND RURAL COUNTIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
Infant mortality rate, an indicator of community health, was 5.6 deaths per 1,000 live births in the United States in 2019. The purpose of this study was to understand rural urban relationships between healthcare resources ... -
BIOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PORCINE NEONATAL EPIDERMIS FROM FORELIMB TISSUE IN THE LONGITUDINAL AND CIRCUMFERENTIAL DIRECTIONS
In adult humans, it is common to replace damaged tissues and epidermal tissues of smooth muscles on internal organs with porcine xenografts during a surgical procedure. However, there is little research on the usage of ... -
