  • Beyond free will: an empirical case for a capacity model of human agency

    Creator:
    Helzer, Erik G.
    Abstract:
    Although the question of free will has persisted throughout the history of philosophy as an important metaphysical consideration, rarely does the inquiry include empirical evidence from other disciplines concerned with human behavior. In this interdisciplinary paper, I combine the wisdom of psychologists, metaphysicians, and philosophers of science to comment on...

  • Repression of DNA Mismatch Repair (MMR) in Arabidopsis thaliana through Dominant-Negative MMR Proteins

    Creator:
    Mohamed, Aly
    Abstract:
    The highly conserved multi-protein mismatch repair (MMR) system is known for its ability to correct post replication errors in genomic DNA. A hallmark of MMR deficiency in all organisms is microsatellite instability. The initiating proteins in the eukaryotic MMR system are hetrodimers formed with an integral MSH2 subunit and one...

  • Pathogenic Mechanisms of Cancer Causing hMLH1 Mutations

    Creator:
    O'Donnell, Edmond Francis
    Abstract:
    DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is an evolutionary conserved process that functions to maintain genomic integrity through the correction of mismatches that have escaped proofreading. Mutations in the MMR gene Mlh1 are associated with approximately 50% of all cases of Lynch syndrome, a hereditary predisposition to colorectal cancer, through varying and...

  • Distribution and origin of organic matter preserved in modern surface sediments throughout Coastal SE Alaska

    Creator:
    Walinsky, Sarah E.
    Abstract:
    Twenty seven modern (top 1-2cm) sediment samples from multicores retrieved from throughout coastal SE Alaska were analyzed for their organic matter content and the source composition. Total organic carbon (TOC) as well as biogenic silica (bioSi), and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content were analyzed to evaluate the organic matter content and...

  • The Effects of air mass origin on cumulus clouds in the Caribbean

    Creator:
    Johnson, Kimberly
    Abstract:
    Knowledge concerning trade wind cumulus, one of the most dominant cloud types on the planet, has become increasingly important when considering global issues such as climate change due to their potential influence on the Earth’s energy budget. In this project, using data from the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean...

  • A multi-faceted method for validating emotional intelligence

    Creator:
    Reyna, Nicholas R.
    Abstract:
    The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) purports to assess emotional intelligence, which includes the ability to successfully identify and manage emotions. To test the validity of this claim, 21 students took the MSCIET along with a several other performance measures and personality scales, and their scores were correlated. The MSCEIT...

  • Functionalization of Surfaces with Nisin in a Polyethylene Oxide Brush Layer

    Creator:
    Ryder, Matthew P.
    Abstract:
    Infections in hospitals account for over 100,000 deaths per year. These infections occur at the hospital from complications following bacterial adhesion to intravenous catheters, coronary stents and other implanted devices. Another common problem is protein adsorption to the surface of the device and subsequent blood clotting. Methods for combating these...

  • Identification of Autophagy Related Genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Creator:
    Miller, Carlin
    Abstract:
    A primary target of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the human alveolar macrophage. Infection by this bacterium can lead to a variety of responses, such as apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis, which may be involved in controlling the infection. M. tuberculosis has evolved mechanisms to evade or use the host-mediated processes to its...

    Morgan, Scott M.
    Abstract:
    This study examines the effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on merger and acquisitions (M&A). Using data from Kinder, Lyndeberg, and Domini (KLD) Research Analytics and Thomson’s Securities Data Corporation’s (SDC) Platinum Database, we empirically test if CSR scores effect a firm’s propensity to pursue M&A activity. Specifically, I examine...
