Adapting the Methylene Blue Sulfide Detection Method for Use in a Microfluidic in-situ Monitoring Device

Creator:: Monares, Shane W.
Abstract:: Sulfide is an important species to measure in environmental water samples. The spectrophotometric detection method for reduced sulfur species (sulfide) based on generation of methylene blue was adapted to work in an apparatus utilizing microfluidic PDMS mixing and observation cells with flow channels in the 100 μm range. The benefits...

Synthesis and SERS : Reproducible Nanostar Plasmons and a Study of Optical Enhancement

Creator:: Ramsey, Jacob D.
Abstract:: Gold nanostars are a relative newcomer to the nanoparticle scene, and their unique properties make them very desirable for spectroscopic applications. These nanoparticles, with their sharp tips, create electric field enhancements that interact with light in an advantageous way. This Thesis outlines our in-depth study of gold nanostar synthesis, the...

Analysis on Medicaid Expansion from the Affordable Care Act and the Effect on Low-Income Populations

Creator:: Sosnovske, Alden
Abstract:: When the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010, eligibility for Medicaid was expanded to include people whose income was less than 138% of the federal poverty level. In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that states could choose whether to expand their Medicaid programs or not. The objective of this...

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...

A Dive into the Pacific Fish Microbiome: Exploration of Antibiotics from a Unique Ecosystem

Creator:: Austin, Molly C.
Abstract:: With the rise of resistant bacterial pathogens, currently prescribed antibiotics are rendered useless. In recent years, marine natural products (MNPs) have emerged as novel sources for drug leads. The ocean is a complex environment where marine animals cohabitate with many, and sometimes harmful microorganisms and viruses, but resist infections. Developed...

Bioactivity Screening and Gene Activation Strategies in Fungi

Creator:: Coddington, Nathan C.
Abstract:: Natural products from plants, bacteria, and fungi play an important role in society. Over the last 35 years, natural products and their derivatives have inspired over 60% of all FDA approved small-molecule drugs, and are among the top prescribed therapeutics.1-2 Fleming’s discovery of the fungal antibiotic penicillin started the “Golden...

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,...

Method validation of quantitative analysis of oxylipins in human plasma via mass spectrometry

Creator:: Bloom, Madeline B.
Abstract:: Oxylipins are a class of bioactive lipid metabolites derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) via enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. In order to elucidate their overall biological effects, the knowledge of the entire oxylipin profile is needed as oxylipins can have similar or opposing effects in regard to inflammatory events. Their...

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...
