Project Summary As a participant in the new IDeA Regional Entrepreneurship Development (I-RED) program, the goal of this proposal is to create an educational product to promote entrepreneurism and commercialization in the Mountain West region of IDeA states. The educational product and overall program are intended to address the needs of IDeA state academic institutions in developing and strengthe ...

Internet-based TRAC (i-TRAC): Interactive Emotion Regulation Skills Training to Improve AdolescentSexual Health Adolescence is a critical developmental period during which behavioral patterns are formed that have powerful influences on current and future health. This is particularly true for sexual behavior, which is affected by the biological changes of puberty as well as normative developmental ...

Abstract Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a type of extra-nodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma characterized by skinlesions resulting from infiltration of malignant T lymphocytes. Mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome are thetwo most common types of CTCL. Although treatments exist, they are mainly palliative with low response anddurability of response without any cure. The objective response rate rem ...

There is a growing need to accurately characterize nuclear materials not only for nuclear safeguards and nonproliferation treaty verification but also for forensics and provenance. At present, nuclear material identification requires samples to be collected and sent to laboratories for analysis using large and expensive equipment, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS) or s ...

Artificial intelligence-assisted detection and imaging technology can gather data on underwater, surface, and aerial threats to gain situational awareness over opposing forces, and aids in navigating dangerous marine and terrestrial environments. Successful and efficient use of intel is crucial for strategic information warfare, but many current technologies require active monitoring to identify t ...

While studies support the efficacy of comprehensive, school-wide interventions in reducing bullying, these types of programs can require significant time and financial resources for implementation, resulting in barriers to providing school-based bullying prevention, especially in low-income and rural communities. Additionally, although training bystanders to act as “defenders” on behalf of tar ...

Current treatments for asthma, while reducing exacerbations in a subset of patients by focusing on airway inflammation, do not eliminate them. Asthma exacerbations are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in asthma as they can lead to airway injury, lung function decline and death. Exacerbations in more severe asthmatics are of particular concern, as health care costs and lost productivi ...

Physical activity (PA) is a modifiable risk factor for a number of preventable chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, strokes, obesity, and diabetes. These conditions constitute health disparities for African American men. Behavioral interventions have proven to be effective in promoting increases in physical activity. While behavior change programs have been shown to assist participa ...

TITLE: Critical angle reflection imaging (CARi) for label-free quantification of molecular interactions SUMMARYMeasuring molecular interactions of proteins are critical for understanding protein functions and cellular processes, for discovery and validating biomarkers, and for developing and screening drugs. In particular, membrane proteins play key roles in many cellular functions and are the lar ...

ABSTRACT The development of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a potentially fatal toxicity in cancer patients undergoing thoracic radiotherapy or in individuals exposed to ionizing radiation (IR) from a nuclear incident. The pathobiology of radiation pneumonitis and radiation-induced lung fibrosis (RILF) is complex but includes the deleterious effects of unchecked inflammation (reactive oxyg ...
