Calibration of Laser Induced Fluorescence Thermometry using 2'7' Dichlorofluorescein and Sulforhodamine B

Creator:: Ulbricht, Jaryd and Narayanan, Vinod
Abstract:: An apparatus and method for calibrating planar laser induced fluorescence using a two-dye, two-color method was developed. A laser sheet was expanded from a 473 nm laser to excite dye solutions into higher energy states then fluoresced through spontaneous emission. The two fluorescent dyes selected for research and development were...

Exploring Asian and Asian American Specific Body Mass Index Cut-Points

Creator:: Lee, Lauren J.
Abstract:: Background: Body Mass Index (BMI) is used as a quick and inexpensive tool to measure populations at risk for a number of metabolic and chronic conditions. In part due to its simplicity, BMI has been criticized for its inaccurate prediction concerning health outcomes. Due to the diversity in the United...

Measuring Past Networks of Cultural Transmission: The Haskett Projectile Point

Creator:: Stone, Samantha R.
Abstract:: Advances in technology such as 3D digital scanning and spatial analysis software have provided archaeologists with novel data. Specifically, these methods increase the researcher's ability to measure artifact morphology and past networks of cultural transmission, to potentially track the movement of past peoples and ideas through space and time. This...

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...

Combinational Effects of Retinoid-X-Receptor α (RXRα) Ablation with Oncogenic Mutations Cdk4[Superscript R24C/R24C] or N-Ras[Superscript Q61K/Q61K] after Ultraviolet Radiation Induced Melanoma Development, Combinational Effects of Retinoid-X-Receptor α (RXRα) Ablation with Oncogenic Mutations Cdk4R24C/R24C or N-RasQ61K/Q61K after Ultraviolet Radiation Induced Melanoma Development

Creator:: Sherman, Anna
Abstract:: Summary Recent research has identified Retinoid-X-Receptorα (RXRα), a nuclear receptor involved in ligand mediated transcription, as having a protective function against the malignant transformation of melanocytes after treatment with chemical carcinogens. This study used mice selectively lacking keratinocytic RXRα in combination with an oncogenic mutation, either Cdk4[Superscript R24C/R24C] or N-Ras[Superscript...

Mutations of CenH3 Domains and their Effect on Chromocenter Localization and Meiosis in Neurospora crassa

Creator:: Ferrer, Sarah Theresa
Abstract:: In recent years, non-coding DNA has received much attention within the scientific community. This attention has not only illuminated the mystery behind functionally important regions like the centromere, but has also brought to light additional important questions regarding centromere mechanisms, inheritance, and cellular recognition by the kinetochore, a protein complex...

A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

Creator:: Geisler, Mark S.
Abstract:: Histones, as part of nucleosomes, are responsible for DNA packaging in chromosomes. They also affect DNA expression by a multitude of post-translational modifications, especially prevalent on the amino terminus of histones. Co-activator protein complexes “write”, “read”, or “erase” histone modifications, and in balance determine which sections of DNA are free...

Empathy-Induced Distress: A Psychophysiological Approach

Creator:: Karabinas, Isabella M.
Abstract:: Empathy is considered a significant motivator of prosocial behavior. Increasing evidence suggests that feelings of personal distress associated with empathy may be stronger or weaker according to the form of perspective taking that an empathizer utilizes. The aim of the present study was to further quantify the stress consequences and...

The Effects of Vitamin E on the Lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans Strains with Mitochondrial Mutations

Creator:: Kusuma, Danika N.
Abstract:: Although assays have been done on the effects of vitamin E alpha-tocopherol (ɑ-tocopherol) on the lifespan of wildtype C. elegans, none have been done on the effects of the vitamin on mutant strains with mitochondrial mutations. By using a mev-1 genetic mutant strain of C. elegans with higher levels of...

Exploring the functional effects of Leukemia-promoting natural mutations in the tumor suppressor protein, BCL11B

Creator:: Wisner, Heather
Abstract:: Thymocytes, cells of the thymus gland, undergo developmental steps that enable them to properly mature into T-cells. Errors in gene expression may lead to improper maturation and potentially mass proliferation of dysfunctional thymocytes, a hallmark of leukemia or lymphoma. BCL11B is a tumor suppressor and transcriptional regulatory protein that is...
