  • Development of sex-specific differences in Drosophila melanogaster neurons

    Creator:
    Duong, Huong T.
    Abstract:
    Many diseases cause a heavier burden on women than on men; however, treatment guidelines are based largely on data on men (NCBI, 2012). It becomes obvious that certain differences in genetics between men and women account for specific sex-related diseases, but there is too spare research focus on that issue....

  • The Role of Circadian Transcription Factors in Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Gene Expression

    Creator:
    Gombart, Zoë J.
    Abstract:
    Circadian regulation is essential for many physiological functions, from sleep/wake patterns to hormonal rhythms. While the brain’s biological clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), likely plays a role in reproductive rhythms, it remains unknown if intracellular circadian clocks elsewhere contribute to the neuroendocrine control of reproduction. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates pituitary...

  • Oxidative Stress Response Genes: A Circadian Connection?

    Creator:
    McAllister, Marisa C.
    Abstract:
    Circadian clocks are internal mechanisms regulating many physiological processes. Research suggests that the circadian clock may regulate repair of cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), but molecular pathways from the clock to ROS repair are not known. The gene cncC, known in mammals as Nrf2, and its repressor...

  • The Interaction Between the fruitless Gene and Complex Behavior in Drosophila

    Creator:
    Humphrey, Whitney M.
    Abstract:
    CantonS wild-type flies were used to determine sex-specific differences in the daily locomotor activity patterns in males and females. Under light entrainment, when flies are kept in a 12:12 light-dark condition, both males and females showed bimodal activity with a morning peak around lights-on and an evening peak around lights...

  • Modification of Teleost Visual Feeding Range Model for Cuttlefish: A Visual-Systems Comparison

    Creator:
    Ebel, Rebekah E.
    Abstract:
    With human activity causing increases in turbidity in coastal marine waters, it is of economic and ecological importance to understand how this increase will affect organisms living in these areas. At most risk may be predators, such as many teleosts and cephalopods, reliant on vision to detect and capture prey....

  • The Impacts of Voluntourism in a Rural Community in Nepal

    Creator:
    Hamby, Taylor R.
    Abstract:
    Voluntourism is a field of service work that combines volunteer work and leisure travel. With its increase in popularity in recent years, research concerning the impacts of voluntourism in developing countries is lacking. This study aims to discover the impacts that volunteers have on communities, specifically in Nepal. Using a...

  • How competitive are iconic competitors? Testing resource partitioning in Great Basin chipmunks

    Creator:
    Ormand, Elora J.
    Abstract:
    Competitive exclusion is a key concept in ecology describing the exclusion of one species by another from access to a limited resource. Competitive interactions between chipmunk species in the Great Basin, documented by James Brown in 1970, are often used as a textbook example of competitive exclusion. Whether competitive interactions...

  • New Zealand’s Subtropical North Island Climate

    Creator:
    Cockrell, Taylor
    Abstract:
    Research paper for GEOG323 (Climatology) class describing the effects of physiographic setting, climate elements related to energy, moisture, and pressure and corresponding results on New Zealand's North Island Climate. The paper analyzes major circulation modes, weather patterns and extremes, climate change, and the overall climate type of the region.

  • Analysis, testing, and redesign of an environmental control system for an engine dynamometer

    Creator:
    Morris, Taylor H.
    Abstract:
    This project analyzes, tests, and redesigns an environmental control system for Global Formula Racing’s (GFR) dynamometer. It seeks to develop a working system to test GFR’s car engine under air conditions similar to those faced during competition. A model is developed to predict the performance of the environmental control system,...

  • Diet manipulations and color changes in Pisaster ochraceus

    Creator:
    Taylor, Katlyn R.
    Abstract:
    It has been observed and documented that Pisaster ochraceus has very striking colors, but the reasons behind the coloration are still unknown. Three coloration categories were determined and used for a feeding trial study to investigate the effects of diet on coloration in Pisaster ochraceus. This study involved 30 hand...
