A Modern Wound Dressing Alternative: Developing Electrospun Biodegradable Collagen Analog Scaffolds
No full textThe overall goal of this research is to develop and test biodegradable, cost-effective biomimetic fiber mats that promote wound healing and hemostasis. We hypothesize that the attachment of specific functional groups to a caprolactone monomer will successfully polymerize into a novel polycaprolactone. The resulting material will be a biodegradable biomimetic polymer that will closely mimic the healing effects of collagen
The Effects of Exercise on Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Get PDFExercise is essential for a healthy life and many people are unable to participate due to barriers. One population that seems to be extremely impacted by these barriers are persons with disabilities. People with disabilities are more likely to become obese and suffer from serious, chronic illnesses. There is a need for exercise programs catered to this population. There is a lack of exercise programs focused on people with disabilities, so through this research we are interested to see the impact of a 12-week exercise program and what results might occur from this lifestyle change. With the 12-week virtual program we developed, we were able to keep participants active and moving even through isolation in the height of COVID-19. After conducting pre-test, the exercise program, and post-test, it was determined that the results of the pre and post-test had been incorrectly gathered and were no longer reliable. Through this study it was determined that in the future it is important to assess work being done by outside help multiple times instead of just assuming everyone followed the directions. Overall the hypothesis that a significant change would be observed in the overall fitness of participants is unable to be supported due to a lack of data

Complete Genome Sequences of Chop, DelRio, and GrandSlam, Three Gordonia Phages Isolated from Soil in Central Arkansas
Get PDFChop, DelRio, and GrandSlam are phage with a Siphoviridae morphotype isolated from soil in Arkansas using the host Gordonia terrae 3612. All three are temperate, and their genomes share at least 96% nucleotide identity. These phage are assigned to cluster DI based on gene content similarity to other sequenced actinobacteriophage
A Jewish Man Branded with a Swastika
No full textHad the above taken place, the dastardly act would have preempted all the networks’ programs, including the Republican Presidential debate, the raging fires and storms across the globe, the tragic Ukraine blood-letting, Trump’s myriad misdeeds, Biden’s faltering numbers, the economy, and the catastrophic heat dome that has enveloped the globe. And it would have been a 24/7 story for an entire week’s worth of news cycles, with AIPAC and politicians of every stripe leading the charge that anti-Semitism has reared up its ugly face.
Had the above happened, condemnation from all quarters, especially from the faith-based groups should, indeed, be expected.
On August 22, 2023 The Israeli Mishtara ((police) branded the star of David on the face of a Palestinian man. More sadly, only one news outlet reported this heinously ghastly act. This is only one of myriad dastardly and malevolently abhorrent crimes perpetrated on an entire Palestinian citizenry. Egged on by their xenophobic leaders and a handful of rabbis, Israeli soldiers and citizens run wild in Palestinian communities. And thousands of Jewish settlers are given free reign to carry out pogroms, wiping out entire villages, killing and maiming people of all ages. Palestinian children have been particularly targeted.
And on August 22, 2023, I sent the following missive to a handful of friends, former colleagues, and the editors/contributors of Good Faith Media, an online religious outlet claiming to be a progressive Evangelical entity
Ann (Owen) Chami \u2783 (Caring builds connection)
Get PDFIt’s often been said that you can’t kid a kidder. Ann Chami ’83 would say that you can’t kid a kid.
“Children have the unique ability to discern how adults feel about them,” said Chami, a veteran educator who serves as head of lower school at Little Rock Christian Academy. “If they know you genuinely care for them and love them, they will do anything for you.”
Chami earned a Bachelor of Science in Education degree in early childhood education from Ouachita in 1983 and spent the next 20 years teaching first, second or third grade before becoming an administrator. Growing up in Pine Bluff, Ark., she had always loved school. She wanted her students to love it, too – especially her first graders. Nurturing them and laying a strong foundation for them to become lifelong enthusiastic learners began with caring for them
