Wiley Funeral Home records
Full text linkRecords from the Wiley Funeral Home, Arkadelphia, established by Felix Wiley in the early 1940s. Wiley ran the funeral home until his retirement circa 1966, when George D. Mitchell, Jr., purchased the funeral home, which primarily served African American customers in and around Clark County. The records consist of copies of Arkansas death certificates, burial transit permits, burial insurance cards, and various other business records, such as receipts and invoices

Arkansas Women In STEM Conference
No full textPhotodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a novel method of cancer treatment. It uses light, oxygen, and a photosensitizer to target and kill malignant cancer cells. In this research, a novel porphyrin, ZnTPP-6AH, has been synthesized for use as a possible photosensitizer for PDT treatment of A549 lung cancer cells. This novel compound is synthesized by the coupling of ZnTPPC with 6-amino-1-hexanol. The new water-soluble zinc porphyrin was purified using Sephadex LH-20 and G-50 column chromatography. After purification, the porphyrin was characterized using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and infrared (IR) spectroscopies. The final purity of this compound was then determined using HPLC. Additionally, cyclovoltammetry (CV) and fluorescence spectroscopy were carried out on the ZnTPP-6AH. Finally, cell viability using A549 lung cancer cells with ZnTPP-6AH as the photosensitizer was determined using both PrestoBlue and MTT assays
The Process and Results of Publishing Course-Based Undergraduate Research at Ouachita Baptist University
Full text linkUndergraduate students face many barriers to publishing their research. These include the lack of creativity within traditional labs, the availability of resources, and the lack experience. Course-embedded Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURE Labs) aim to solve these issues by allowing students to create novel projects while learning along the way. In this paper, the ways in which a Cell Biology lab group at Ouachita Baptist University published their research are discussed, along with a brief overview of the project itself
