- Title
Abstracts from the Annual Meeting of the Kentucky Academy of Science 3 - 4 November 2023.
- Abstract
This document contains abstracts from the Annual Meeting of the Kentucky Academy of Science, covering a wide range of scientific disciplines. The abstracts provide brief summaries of research projects and findings in each respective field, including aerospace research, agricultural science, anthropology and sociology, cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, computer and information science, ecology, engineering, environmental science, geography, geology, health sciences, mathematics, microbiology, paleohistology, psychology, physics and astronomy, physiology and biochemistry, science education, and zoology. Some specific topics discussed include renewable energy potential analysis for all-electric aircraft, the economics of outer space exploration, numerical simulation of fibrous materials, advancements in aerospace deployable structures, uncertainty quantification of carbon ablator materials, origami robots for aerospace applications, and hydrogen-metal interactions for aerospace applications. Additionally, the document includes a study on the potential of channel catfish, common carp, and freshwater drum as biocontrols for zebra mussels in the Ohio River. The researchers hypothesize that these fish species may prey on zebra mussels due to their specialized teeth for crushing mollusk shells. Gut content analysis is used to identify the presence of zebra mussels in the stomachs of these fish. The results of this study could contribute to the development of effective strategies for managing zebra mussel populations in the Ohio River.
