  • Chemistry and Grit: The Impact of Prerequisites vs Perseverance on Academic Success in Biology

    Creator:
    Sparks, Kiersten E.
    Abstract:
    Previous research on academic success in biology has focused on the influence of prerequisite knowledge and cognitive ability as measured by course grades or GPA. More recently, the field has considered the influence of non-cognitive factors such as grit, defined as passion and perseverance for long term goals. Both grit...

  • The role of molecular architecture in the hydration properties of brewers’ spent grain

    Creator:
    Yang, Jasmin S.
    Abstract:
    An emerging strategy to reducing food waste is converting food processing byproducts to nutritious and inexpensive food ingredients. A relevant food processing waste stream is brewers’ spent grain (BSG), the primary byproduct of beer production. BSG is a promising candidate as a food ingredient because of its high protein and...

  • Aiding Plants and Humans by Targeting Virulence Strategies: Investigation of key protein residues involved in toxoflavin production

    Creator:
    Justen, Savannah F.
    Abstract:
    Toxoflavin, a toxic secondary metabolite produced by a variety of bacteria, has been implicated as a causative agent in food poisoning and a virulence factor in phytopathogenic bacteria. This toxin is produced by the tox operon in Burkholderia glumae, in which the encoded protein, ToxD, was previously characterized as essential...

  • New Inorganic Pigments from Mineral Structures

    Creator:
    Schettini Mejia, Carlo A.
    Abstract:
    The discovery of new blue pigments is a field of great interest, as commercially available pigments present properties that make them undesirable such as poor sustainability, cost, and stability. By researching solid solutions with the melilite structure, we discovered a new solid solution Sr2Zn1-xNixGe2O7, with 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.6,...

  • Janus-Type Wicking Microfluidic Devices for Separation and Collection of Plasma from Blood

    Creator:
    Unitan, Linus J.
    Abstract:
    A simple Janus-type membrane-based wicking microfluidic device fabricated on a polycaprolactone-filled glass microfiber membrane enables separation and collection of blood plasma or serum from whole blood. This device bridges the wicking and cut-capillary-based solution transport mechanisms in a single membrane. The initial portion of the device is fabricated using selective...

  • Ibuprofen Treatment Causes NMDA and AMPA Receptor Hyperactivity in Female Wild Type and Heterozygous 5xFAD mice but not Males

    Creator:
    Rauenhorst, Jacob
    Abstract:
    With Alzheimer’s disease being the most prominent form of dementia, finding potential treatments for the disease is imperative. This study explored the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen as a potential treatment to normalize the hyperactive N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) within the 5xFAD mice early in the disease pathology before cognitive decline. Female...

  • Diastatic Activity in Citra® Hops as a Function of On-Bine Maturity

    Creator:
    Long, Aidan T.
    Abstract:
    Dry-hopping has grown from a novel to widespread technique in commercial craft beer production. It yields large returns in aroma that cannot be emulated with kettle hopping. However, it also leads to beer refermentation post-dry-hopping, a phenomenon colloquially referred to by U.S brewers as “hop creep.” This is a result...

  • Culturable Wood Endophytes of Populus trichocarpa

    Creator:
    Buckner, Jacob G.
    Abstract:
    This study is believed to be the first of its kind to characterize culturable fungal endophytes from the wood of Populus trichocarpa, and to examine the potential of inducible resistance and secondary chemistry as specific host factors that shape fungal endophytic communities in wood. To do so, more than seventy...

    Creator:
    Cook, Jacob M.
    Abstract:
    Electroanalytical techniques allow scientists and engineers to characterize bulk solutions as well as interfaces. Potentiostats are commonly used by researchers in a variety of disciplines to analyze the chemistry which occurs at a working electrode surface. Advancements in microelectronics and the proliferation of open-source designs have allowed researchers to construct...

  • Gold Nanoparticles as Thiophenol Detection Probes

    Creator:
    Pond, Emily
    Abstract:
    The development of simple, rapid, and sensitive methods for thiophenol detection is of great importance in various fields, including environmental monitoring and food quality. Here, we present a novel approach for the colorimetric detection of thiophenols using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the sensing platform. AuNPs aggregate in the presence of...
