The role of HDL in developmental programming
The in utero environment can have long-lasting consequences to the offspring.Indeed, fetuses with modified growth rates or exposed to a variety of stressors can be re-programmed, o...
The role of odor imagery ability in human food cue reactivity and obesity risk
PROJECT SUMMARY The modern rise in obesity rates coincides with the increased advertising and availability of palatable foods. Conditioned responses to these ubiquitous food cues,...
Planning Grant: Workshops to Build Capacity for Biological Field Research in Southern California Ecosystems
Climate change and associated extreme events, like droughts and wildfires, threaten communities and natural landscapes worldwide. In 2006, researchers established the Loma Ridge gl...
The Development of a Toolkit to Support the Use of a Programme of Self-directed Upper Limb Exercise after Stroke
Background: There is evidence that to promote recovery in the arm after stroke, many hundreds of repetitions of exercises need to be completed. Delivering this intensity of exercis...
Experiencing Britain's Ruins: 'Revenants and Remains' at Five Northern English Religious Houses and Beyond
This project aims to enhance the public 'experience' of Britain's ruins by applying research findings derived from PI Prof. Dale Townshend's AHRC Leadership Fel...
CAREER: Tensor Factorization Methods for High-Level Electronic Structure Theory
With support from the Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Methods program in the Division of Chemistry, Devin Matthews of Southern Methodist University will endeavor to advan...
RII Track-4:NSF Engineering mixed microbial communities & bioreactor configurations to optimize biotransformation processes for metal and metalloid bioremediation and biorecovery
Waste streams from agricultural run-off and industries such as mining typically contain pollutants like metals and metalloids (M&M), which can be toxic and pose a threat to the...
Upgrade of LA-ICP-MS for research and education at Western Washington University
This award will provide funding to Western Washington University (WWU) to upgrade an existing but aging inductively-coupled-plasma-mass spectrometer and associated 213 nm laser (LA...
RII Track-4:NSF: Safety Validation of Autonomous Systems from Multiple Sources of Information
With the rapid growth of interest in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in autonomy, it is critical to revolutionize safety validation approaches that reason about the safety...
Multi-Scale Stochastic Dynamics with Fractional Noise
A fractional Brownian motion is used to model the prevalent long and short-range dependence phenomena, observed in time-series data such as economic cycles and data networks, becau...
A novel TMS-EEG study of GABAergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission in antipsychotic treatment response in schizophrenia
People who suffer from schizophrenia experience a wide range of symptoms, including delusions (fixed, false beliefs) hallucinations (e.g. hearing voices), cognitive symptoms (e.g....
Microbial carbon cycling under geological CO2 storage conditions: understanding the rules of life in the engineered subsurface
In recognition of the growing global climate emergency caused by the increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel use, the UK government recently passed into law a c...
Developing an Assessment to Address Undergraduate Biology Student Understanding of Genetics and Race
This project aims to serve the national interest by investigating the relationship between knowledge of genetics and beliefs about race. It will produce a resource in undergraduate...
Strain and Bone Fracture Healing: Image-Based Mechanics Models to Redefine the Rules
PROJECT SUMMARY The long-term goal of this research is to understand the mechanical factors that influence bone fracture healing in large animals and humans. In the early stages of...
Extreme cell growth in support of stem cell proliferation and niche exit
K. Gordon, UNC R35 Abstract The specification and robust maintenance of the germ line stem cells and their differentiated descendants that form gametes are essential to the success...
