Development of Fluorometric Assay for the Determination of β-glucosidase Activity in Brewing Yeasts

Creator:: Molitor, Andrew
Abstract:: Glycosides are natural molecules found in many plants and hold potential to release new flavors and aromas into alcoholic beverages, particularly beer and wine. One way to free these flavors and aromas is by enzymatic hydrolysis catalyzed by βglucosidase. The activities of β-glucosidase are strain and species dependent in yeast...

Soil respiration flux in response to soil temperature, moisture, and pH

Creator:: Murphy, Bailey
Abstract:: Soil respiration has been identified as one of the largest natural sources of CO₂ to the global carbon cycle. Small alterations in the magnitude of soil respiration can have potentially large effects on concentrations of atmospheric CO₂ , making the rate at which respiration occurs of great scientific interest (Martin...

The Stories We Will Tell : An Exploration of Family History through Autobiography and Record Analysis

Creator:: Peabody, Anna M.
Abstract:: The research of genealogy and family history can represent a means of self-discovery, connection, and preservation of the past. The experience is individualistic, unique to the intricate intertwining of lives that helped create and influence who we are today. Through the analysis of historical biographies, family documents, and autobiographical vignettes,...

A Novel Approach to the Biochemical Analysis of Variants in the Essential DNA Mismatch Repair Protein MLH1

Creator:: Nguyen, Andrew
Abstract:: Genomic integrity is crucial for the viability and function of a cell. One key pathway that acts to maintain genomic integrity is DNA mismatch repair (MMR). MMR acts to correct base pair mismatches hat have escaped proofreading during DNA replication. The process of MMR is dependent on the protein heterodimer...

Mismatch Repair-Dependent Cellular Responses to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: An Investigation of Research Methods and Materials

Creator:: Wickramanayake, Anneka
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic chemical compounds found in the environment, largely as a result of partial combustion of organic compounds. PAHs are present in the atmosphere in populated cities worldwide. Because of the health risks they create, PAHs are a global health concern. PAHs are introduced into the...

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...

Design of a Radioisotope Powered Cubesat

Creator:: McConnell, Brice David
Abstract:: Miniature satellites called cubesats have been gaining increasing popularity in both academic and private spaceflight ventures. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has recently been accepting design proposals for a cubesat mission to Europa, where solar and battery power would be inadequate power sources. In this thesis, a radioisotope powered cubesat was...

Beyond the Carpetbagger: The Emergence of Racialized Terms as a Political Weapon in the Reconstruction Era South

Creator:: Farrington, Caprial E.
Abstract:: The Reconstruction era, beginning in 1863, was a time of radical change and movement in American politics and society. A significant number of northern Republicans migrated southwards, for various purposes, including political involvement. To white Democratic southerners who believed they had just fought a war of northern aggression and now...

Interposing Quarrels : Factors Influencing Neutrality Policy Formation, 1860-2016

Creator:: Su, Andrew Philip
Abstract:: When analyzing foreign policy, a significant question arises. How do nations make decisions about foreign engagement and neutrality? Understanding what factors and influences shape foreign policy decisions is often a difficult task as the motivation for action is never clear or absolute. This work will analyze whether or not the...

Wildfire Severity Has a Minimal Influence on Pollen Diversity Used by Developing Mason Bees (Osmia lignaria) in Mixed Conifer Forest

Creator:: Bell, Nicole C. S.
Abstract:: Native bees are critically important organisms that support biodiversity and crop production via their pollination services. Wildfires in temperate conifer forests can increase bee abundance and flowering plant density due to increased light exposure, but little information is available regarding how wildfire severity influences provisioning to bee offspring, which is...
