The idea for this study came from the shortage of research that has been done to understand the evolution instruction provided by new secondary education teachers. A lack of training in teachers can...

The purpose of this study arose from a pilot-study problem observed of acceptance of microevolution among those who identified as holding a creationist worldview or as having misgivings about the...

The problem dealt with the awareness and response of Wesleyan Ministers in Pangasinan to climate change in order to develop a climate change mitigation and adaptation framework. The respondents of...

The human papillomavirus is a leading cause of cervical cancer around the world. This oncovirus uses proteins like E7 to hijack the cell cycle by binding to cellular proteins, such as pRb. Another...

Bacteriophage lambda procapsids have shown promising uses as viral nanoparticles, as its structure allows for the possibility of drug encapsulation. The icosahedral procapsid consists of several...

Ruminants are herbivorous mammals, characterized by a pre-gastric organ, the rumen. Microbes within the rumen are responsible for feed breakdown. The rumen microbiome of livestock has been extensively...

To elucidate gene flow between hydrothermal vent communities, shrimp species Opaepele loihi and Rimicaris variabilis were sampled at the underwater Mata volcanoes near Tonga. A fragment of the...

Gastropod Ifremeria nautilei was collected at deep-sea hydrothermal vents at the underwater Mata Volcanoes near Tonga to investigate gene flow and population structure between and within vent...

Hannibal Bank is a biodiversity hotspot off the Pacific coast of Panama. Using the AUV SeaBED, 12 photo-transects of the seafloor systematically captured over 21,712 images during a research cruise in...

Bony fish are the most primitive vertebrates to possess an adaptive immune system. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is one example of these bony fish, which means they have an immune system similar to that...

Macrophages are able to polarize from a basal, naïve state to an M1 or M2 phenotype. M1 pro-inflammatory macrophages are characterized by recognizing and eliminating abnormal cells, while M2 anti...

The human microbiota is a thriving ecosystem that has remained a great mystery, as we have yet to develop a complete understanding of its complex nature and capabilities. Nonetheless, numerous studies...

The purpose of the investigation was to compare the effects of 8 weeks of low-volume high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus the effects of high-volume moderate-intensity continuous training...

Antibiotic resistance among Gram-positive bacteria is a serious global health threat. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are especially concerning since they are susceptible to few if any...

The ability to structurally engineer viral nanoparticles makes them a useful platform for targeted drug delivery. The procapsid of bacteriophage lambda is one such structure. This hollow icosahedral...

The purpose of this study was to test the concurrent validity and intraclass reliability of two mobile apps designed to measure countermovement jump (CMJ) height. The concurrent validity and...

This study focuses on the phylum Mollusca from Hannibal Bank in Panama. Through DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analyses, the biodiversity and evolutionary history of mollusks were evaluated. The...

Evaluating predatory-prey relationships is critical for understanding the dynamics of ecosystems and implementing effective conservation efforts. I investigated whether Neotropical mammalian predators...

Because students in middle school through high school demonstrate persistent alternative conceptions regarding atoms and cells and their functional relationships, it is important to investigate ways...

In this study, the quality of small group discussions stimulated by concept cartoons on the topic of cell division was examined in a class of sixteen high school agriculture biology students. Two...

Although many teachers consider dissection an important educational tool, it is mainly used to reinforce information previously gained by studying anatomy and physiology. Rarely is inquiry-based...

In this study, a design-based research approach was used in the creation of data-rich problem (DRP) tasks intended to support students constructing knowledge about food webs and ecosystem dynamics...

Hannibal Bank is a seamount-like feature known for its high productivity and biodiversity that is located in an UNESCO World Heritage Site off the Pacific coast of Panama. The biodiversity and...

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the Flaviviridae virus family and as of February 2016 has been declared a global public health emergency by the World Health Organization. Understanding the T cell...
