Elijah Hynes - “The Relevance of the Mosaic Law in Light of the New Covenant: A Theological Analysis” (session 2) My analysis will cover the implications of the mosaic law as it pertains to Christians under the new covenant. The analysis will mostly focus on which of the Mosaic laws should still apply today. The project aims to answer the question in order to demonstrate its moral, ethical, and governmental implications. The project will start with the examinations of the reformed, theonomical, and dispensational views, giving the audience a grasp of the theological frameworks available. Firstly, the dispensational view will be discussed, and its irreverence for any part of the law but the moral. Then the Reformed view and the general equity it proposes. Finally, the theonomical position and its steadfastness to the law. Each of these will be defined using the writing of their prominent theologians. After which I will, using the holy scripture and historical evidence, come to a conclusive theological statement as it pertains to the relevance of the Mosaic law. Toni Jarreau - “Reduce Waste, Cost, & Time by Using Mechanochemistry” (poster session 1) Mechanochemistry and Solvent-Free Synthesis is a practice using & finding techniques for sustainable organic, inorganic, & materials synthesis, with focus on reactivity, scalability, & environmental advantages. Mechanochemistry and Solvent- Free Synthesis are constantly growing & showing up as transformative, “green” paradigms in modern organic chemistry, switching the main focus away from traditional ‘solution-based reactions’ that often rely heavily on toxic, volatile organic solvents. The topic calls for upper-level independent study, because of how effective it’ll become in the future. In the future the earth will become incredibly toxic, the waste being cast out. Looking to the future, Mechanochemistry and Solvent-Free Synthesis has the potential to lessen toxic waste production. These methods provide cleaner, more efficient pathways for producing heterocyclic compounds, pharmaceutical ingredients, & other complex organic structures. The main focus on the topic started in 2015–present, beginning in 2000 & established from 2000-2014. Many reaction types were enabled with it such as C–C and C–Heteroatom Coupling with Suzuki-Miyaura & Sonogashira couplings; Heterocycle Formation with synthesis of imidazoles, thiazoles, & benzimidazoles, & Substrates with Insoluble organic compounds, polymers, & delicate pharmaceutical intermediates.

This research explores Ohio’s historical background, major landmarks, and diverse cultural traditions to understand its role in American history and modern tourism. The primary goal is to highlight why Ohio is a vital destination for both historians and travelers.To collect this information, we conducted secondary research using various academic websites,official travel guides, and historical maps. We also analyzed documentaries and peer-reviewed articles to ensure the accuracy of the data regarding Ohio’s development from 1803 to the Present.Our main findings show that Ohio has a rich history
Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) leaked from the electron transport chain (ETC) of defective mitochondria are a major source of oxidative stress on nuclear DNA. Oxidative stress inflicts mutations on DNA, contributing to carcinogenesis. The autophagic removal of mitochondria, or mitophagy, prevents oxidative stress to DNA by removing damaged mitochondria. Recently, nutrient deprivation, or fasting, has been shown to upregulate expression of the BNIP3 gene, which encodes for the BNIP3 protein that promotes mitophagy. This indicates there is potential to upregulate mitophagy through diet, which could reduce oxidative stress, thereby preventing carcinogenesis. This study focuses on the mechanisms behind ROS leakage in the ETC, the mechanisms of mitophagy, and how fasting- induced BNIP3 activation may be a potential strategy in cancer prevention. Logan Holt - “How Does Lumbarization Affect Athletes?” (session 18) Lumbarization is a congenital spinal variation in which the first sacral vertebra (S1) does not fuse with the sacrum, resulting in an additional lumbar-like vertebra. This anatomical difference can alter normal spinal structure and biomechanics, potentially impacting movement, stability, and load distribution. In athletes, these changes may influence performance by affecting flexibility, range of motion, and core stability. Lumbarization has also been associated with an increased risk of lower back pain, as well as conditions such as disc degeneration and stress-related injuries due to uneven mechanical forces on the spine. Despite this, some individuals with lumbarization remain asymptomatic, making it an often overlooked factor in sports medicine. Understanding how lumbarization affects athletes is important for improving injury prevention strategies, training modifications, and rehabilitation approaches. This project explores the anatomical characteristics of lumbarization, its prevalence, and its potential effects on athletic performance and injury risk, highlighting the need for individualized assessment and management in athletic populations. Elizabeth Hurst, Hayden Leavell, Alexander Ballinger, & Martiniano Sansone - “Team Insight” (session 13) This presentation explores the fundamental roles that stocks and bonds play in shaping investor decisions and long‑term financial outcomes. We begin by defining what stocks and bonds are, how they function within financial markets, and why they remain the two most widely used investment vehicles. The presentation explains the core differences between them, including ownership versus lending, levels of risk, expected returns, and how each responds to changes in the economy. We also examine how investors with different goals, time horizons, and risk tolerances choose between stocks and bonds when building a portfolio. Through practical examples, we illustrate how conservative, moderate, and aggressive investors allocate their assets to balance growth and stability. In addition, the presentation highlights how combining stocks and bonds can reduce overall risk through diversification. To reinforce these concepts, we include an interactive activity in which participants select a market sector and work through a scenario that requires building a balanced investment solution. By the end of the session, the audience will understand not only how stocks and bonds operate individually, but also how they can be strategically used together to create a resilient and effective investment portfolio.
