Urinary Lipid Biomarkers for Detecting Canine Transitional Cell Carcinoma Pilot Study

Creator:: Pope, George
Abstract:: Canine Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC) makes up 2% of all canine cancers and is the most common cancer of the bladder for dogs. Usually diagnosed in its later stages, TCC is difficult to treat, with low survival times. Current diagnosis involves invasive techniques, and mainstream screening tests are often ineffective....

Stratigraphic Correlation of Late Cretaceous Volcanic Rocks along the Eastern Flank of the Boulder Batholith, Southwestern Montana

Creator:: Kallio, Ian
Abstract:: The Boulder Batholith and Elkhorn Mountains Volcanics (EMV) formed concurrently during shortening between ~85-76 Ma near the end of Mesozoic Cordillera arc magmatism. Together they represent an exceptionally well-preserved and voluminous record of continental arc magmatism. We report field and analytical results from studies of the EMV and Boulder Batholith...

Quantifying dissipative beach and vegetated dune morphology with multiple aerial photography systems

Creator:: Conlin, Matthew P.
Abstract:: Sand dunes provide coastal communities critical protection from flooding and erosion, as well as a habitat for a range of species- some threatened or endangered. As such, it is of importance to develop a quantitative understanding of the processes through which these systems evolve at a variety of temporal and...

Estrogen receptors involved in the differential regulation of hypothalamic kisspeptin expression

Creator:: Alfonzo, Jessica
Abstract:: The hypothalamic neuropeptide kisspeptin (Kiss-1) acts as a central component of the reproductive axis. A critical factor in pubertal progression and normal reproduction, this peptide is an afferent stimulator of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), and is responsive to gonadal steroids, integrating steroid hormone signals and modulating GnRH secretion accordingly. Kiss-1 exhibits...

Using Mass Spectrometry to Trace Polyphenols in Human Urine

Creator:: Carrillo, Crystal V.
Abstract:: Diet History Questionnaires (DHQ) can only provide general information about a person’s nutritional intake. It is unable to cluster groups of people based on diets or lifestyles, nor identify specific foods that may play a role in disease prevention. The aim of this study was to validate the use of...

Incorporating Bioenergy Education into Agricultural Based Youth Programs : A pilot study

Creator:: Schrock, Nicole
Abstract:: 4-H, an agriculture based youth program, promotes a variety of curricula in both agriculture and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (S.T.E.M.) topics. However, science based curricula provided by this organization gravitates away from the programs agricultural roots. An effort was made to pilot a test on lesson plans that would...

Understanding Regulatory DNA in Plants Through Molecular Cloning and Transient Transformation

Creator:: Juarez, Cesar
Abstract:: Gene expression in plants (and other eukaryotes) is a very complex process. Gene expression is primarily controlled by proteins and their binding sites near the gene in the chromosomal DNA. More specifically, interactions among transcription factors (DNA-binding proteins) and cis-regulatory modules (CRMs-sets of binding sites) control the expression of nearby...

The rate-based paper detection of vanillin and m-cresol using a colorimetric tyrosinase mediated chitosan-quinone reaction

Creator:: Hinson, Dylan
Abstract:: Monitoring the concentration of phenolic compounds is important for environmental regulation, health diagnostics, and bioenergy fermentation. Vanillin is a phenol compound used as a food flavoring that can cause allergies and inhibits biofuel production. The phenol m-cresol is a toxic compound that is regulated in the environment and in human...

Testing the effectiveness of the λ insulator in hybrid poplar

Creator:: Feng, Mu
Abstract:: Genetic engineering techniques allow scientists to create plants with desired traits. However, there is unwanted variability in transgene expression due to enhancer-promoter interactions and the influence from genetic elements near the insertion site of the transgene, which integrates into a random location in the genome. In an attempt to reduce...

Gene regulatory mechanisms of the lncRNA Fendrr

Creator:: Koehler, Monika
Abstract:: Embryonic development, where organs and major structures begin to develop, requires precise coordination of numerous gene regulatory pathways. Fendrr is an long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that plays a role in regulating gene expression in mesodermal tissues during early embryonic development in mouse. The lateral plate mesoderm (LPM) is an earlier...

Biochar as a cover for dairy manure lagoons: reducing odor and gas emissions while capturing nutrients

Creator:: Dougherty, Brian
Abstract:: Liquid manure lagoons are known to be sources of odor and environmentally damaging gas emissions. Land application of the manure slurry after storage can lead to detrimental nutrient runoff and leaching. Floating lagoon covers (biocovers) are one option for reducing emissions, but to date they have only been used to...

Targeting chemotherapeutic resistance in breast cancer

Creator:: Avery, Jonathan
Abstract:: The Bcl-2 family of proteins regulate cell survival and are targets for cancer therapy. This protein family has also been implicated in chemotherapeutic resistance, the cause of approximately 90% of treatment failure in advanced cancer. We analyzed the expression and the role of the Bcl-2 proteins in chemotherapy resistant breast...

Look Ma, no beads: Analyzing traction force characteristics of migratory adenocarcinoma in heterogeneous type-1 collagen through bead-free confocal microscopy

Creator:: Groves, Nicholas Scott
Abstract:: Current methods in traction force analysis rely on a homogeneous extra-cellular matrix and embedded microbeads to track deformations. The efficacy of these methods decreases when the matrix is not homogeneous. In heterogeneous matrices, beads often aggregate in regions of higher matrix density and float in regions where matrix substrate is...

The Role of NhaP1, NhaP2, and NhaP3 Antiporters in the Acid Tolerance of Vibrio cholerae

Creator:: Gillon, Jacqueline and Schubiger, Carla
Abstract:: Vibrio cholerae (Vc), the etiological agent of cholera, has developed many mechanisms to combat the great fluctuations in pH, ion content and osmotic conditions of the vastly differing environments it encounters through its infections of the human host. A series of cation antiporters are found in the Vc membrane to...

Case studies : Using the zebrafish to evaluate neurobehavioral phenotypes

Creator:: Garcia, Abraham, Truong, Lisa, Johnson, Eric, Tanguay, Robert L., and Knecht, Andrea
Abstract:: The use of zebrafish in behavioral neuroscience is rapidly growing. Zebrafish can be assessed for alterations in multiple behavioral endpoints, creating opportunities to use this powerful model to identify chemicals that alter behavioral phenotypes. To evaluate the utility of zebrafish for neurotoxicity research, we designed custom instrumentation to evaluate numerous...

Simulating Synchrotron Optical Flashes in the Reverse Shock of a Gamma Ray Burst

Creator:: Bice, Connor
Abstract:: We construct a Monte Carlo simulation in Python to calculate optical flashes at 5x10¹⁴ Hz peaking at 6x10³¹ erg s⁻¹Hz⁻¹St⁻¹ due to synchrotron radiation from the reverse shock of a gamma-ray burst’s jet. While analytical solutions to this problem exist, they rely on sweeping simplifications of what is necessarily a...

Crystal Morphology and Dimensionality Determine the Electronic Response in Novel Semiconducting Materials

Creator:: Grimm, Sam
Abstract:: Crystal morphology and dimensionality of single-crystal semiconducting materials can have dramatic effects on the optical and electrical properties. Organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials and ﬂuorinated graphene folds are two materials that show these dependencies. Anthradithiophene (ADT), is an OPV that can be functionalized with different side groups to form diﬀerent crystal...

Characterizing a Coupled Photodiode-LED System for Neuro-Sensing Applications

Creator:: Stevens, Gregg
Abstract:: I investigate the feasibility of a micron-sized biosensor designed to measure neural activity. The circuitry of the biosensor is composed of graphene, some photodiodes, and a light-emitting diode. Many of these biosensors would be injected into a subject’s brain, and when powered by near-infrared light, they would glow in response...
