Neu4Physics: Neural Networks for Physics
Neu4Physics explores using AI and quantum computing to address unresolved questions in gravity by connecting Newtonian gravity, relativity, and modern theories like quantum gravity. The study aims to test the ER = EPR concept, investigating how gravity impacts particle formation. Initial experiments leverage Hamiltonian equations with Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM)
Developing and Implementing a Sexually Transmitted Disease Screening Program to Decrease Chlamydia Cases on a College Campus
Introduction: Sexually active college students were experiencing a high incidence, spread, and reinfection of the sexually transmitted Disease (STD) chlamydia on a university campus. Purpose: To determine if implementing of a quality improvement program on campus utilizing a holistic approach would help decrease chlamydia cases. This program focused on fast-track STD screening, increasing knowledge about STDs, and addressing mental health issues.Methods & Study Design: This was a descriptive/quasi-experimental design. Participants utilized the fast-track STD screening and completed surveys. Descriptive statistics and frequency tables were used to summarize survey responses for 1) the pre-and post-sexually transmitted disease (STD) education survey, and 2) the fast-track STD screening and sexual health questionnaire. Demographical data and screening results were also analyzed. The target participants were young adults inclusive of all genders between the ages of 18-25. The sample size for the fast -track STD screening and STD education was 31.Results: During the fast-track screening program there was 31 participants. Of the 31 participants 20 were female and 11 were male. Nearly 20% of participants were chlamydia positive and 29% of participants attended STD education. In comparison to the fall academic year where chlamydia positivity rates were 32%.Conclusion: A reduction in chlamydia cases was observed after introduction of an STD educational program and fast track STD screening, however more research and efforts are needed to decrease chlamydia cases on campus overall and increase the use of mental health services
