The Capitol Graduate 1xbet online sports betting Summit is a statewide event that features current 1xbet online sports betting of graduate students at Kansas State University, the University of Kansas, the University of Kansas Medical Center, Wichita State University, Fort HaysStateUniversity, Emporia State Universityand Pittsburgh State University. Each university inviteduniversity faculty andindustry representativesto judge the student poster presentations. The top presenters from each universityreceived awards.Additionally, BioKansasconductsa competition for students conducting 1xbet online sports betting related to biotechnology, drug-development or commercialization applications.
Shunje'sposter was "Fine-Tuning the Physical Properties of Urea Fertilizer Using Crystal Engineering." Heradviser isChristerAakerӧy,universitydistinguishedprofessor ofchemistry.Shunje's1xbet online sports betting uses crystal engineering to manipulate interactions between chemical compounds to design materials with desired functionalities. In the 1xbet online sports betting she presented in thesummit, the active compound urea—a nitrogen-based fertilizer—is combined with molecular partners to make new solids where physical properties like solubility can be altered in a predictable manner.
"Our ultimate goal is to develop a sustainable urea form for improving plant nutrient acquisition efficiency, not only for Kansas farmers but for global farmers at large,"Shunje said.
Osborne'sposter was "Identifying Enzymes Limiting an Effective RNA Response in the Biting Midge Culicoides Sonorensis."Hisadviser isKristopher Silver,1xbet online sports betting assistant professor ofentomology.Osborne researches new, more specific techniques for controlling pest insects in the form of RNAi.
"These insecticidal products could reduce the impact of insects on livestock without impacting ecosystems,"Osbornesaid."Thistechnologywill benefit producers, consumers, and communities at large in livestock producing states like Kansas."
Hammond'sposter was "Skin Blood Vessel Responses Following5-FluorouracilChemotherapy Administration."Hisadviser isCarl Ade,associate professorofkinesiology.Hammond's 1xbet online sports betting primarily focuses on the adverse cardiovascular responses to cancer therapy. Specifically, the 1xbet online sports betting he presented highlights how the chemotherapy drug 5-Fluorouracil negatively impacts the ability of blood vessels to respond appropriately to different stimuli.
"Since 5-Fluorouracil is used to treat a number of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in thestate of Kansas, our hope is that this 1xbet online sports betting can provide insight into what causes these adverse cardiovascular side effects to occur during treatment so that protocols can be implemented to alleviate them,"Hammond said.
