  • Mathematical Investigation of Evaporation Synergy in Bi-Texture Soil Columns as a Function of Column Width

    Creator:
    Sumner, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    Evaporation synergy is a phenomenon that occurs between different classes of soil and allows for a greater amount/quantity of soil water evaporation. 20 of the 66 soil texture class combinations have been shown to exhibit evaporation synergy (Fisher, 2012), however the impact of column width on the functionality of this...

  • Infestation Patterns of Choanoflagellates on Pseudo-Mitzschia

    Creator:
    de Vore, Samantha
    Abstract:
    Pseudo-Nitzschia (P/N) is a species of naturally occurring phytoplankton that contributes to harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the California Current System (CCS). P/N can produce domoic acid (DA), a toxin which accumulates in organisms that consume phytoplankton, leading to amnesiac shellfish poisoning in higher trophic levels. Thus DA can negatively...

  • User Interface and Database for the Intuitive, Developmental And Research Oriented, Easy To Use, Affordable, And Low Volume (IDEAL) Bioreactor

    Creator:
    Litzinger, Jaelyn W.
    Abstract:
    Expensive pricing for laboratory bioreactors proves to be the main barrier-to-entry for lab-scale academic research. Most laboratory bioreactors are priced at $100K+ and require significant training to use, thereby limiting their accessibility. The IDEAL (Intuitive, Developmental And Research Oriented, Easy To Use, Affordable, And Low Volume) Bioreactor aims to solve...

  • How crabs walk and what can robots learn from it?

    Creator:
    Shen, Nuocheng
    Abstract:
    Simulation has provided much design inspiration for the field of robotics. While many astute ideas can be computationally formulated, there are some good structures in animals that people call “biologically-inspired”. Many robots are designed based on natural creatures such as crabs, spiders, etc. Before we can take full advantage of...

  • Evaluation of the Critical Aspects of Sex Education Programs for the Improvement of Student Health and Wellbeing

    Creator:
    Brown, Juliana D.
    Abstract:
    Sex education plays a critical role in the development of youth sexual health and wellbeing. An ideal program is taught with honesty in an inclusive and respectful environment where students learn strategies to lower their risk of unwanted sexual outcomes, communication skills to build and navigate relationships, and necessary knowledge...

  • Role of Nitrated Hsp90 in Schwannoma Cell Survival

    Creator:
    Kim, Sharon R.
    Abstract:
    Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) is a genetic tumor disorder caused by mutations that inactivate the gene coding for the Merlin tumor suppressor. Patients with NF2 develop multiple tumors throughout the nervous system, mainly schwannomas, for which there is no cure or effective treatment. In NF2, redox signaling and oxidative stress...

  • Gastrointestinal Parasitism and Mercury in Pacific Walrus

    Creator:
    Sweitzer, Danielle N.
    Abstract:
    The Pacific Walrus population that lives within the Chukchi Sea near Alaska and the Russian territory Siberia have traditionally held a diet composed of molluscs and benthic invertebrates, with the main dietary choice being clams or other bivalves. Due to global warming, the availability of stable ice resting surfaces has...

  • Regulation of the Metabolic Reprogramming of Schwannoma Cells by Nitrated Hsp90

    Creator:
    Bastian, Lydia P.
    Abstract:
    This work is concerned with determining whether nicotine has a role in promoting oxidative damage in human tissue, particularly in lung tissue. This follows from recent reports of a novel lung disease found in some E-cigarette users, characterized by oxidative damage and elevated levels of neutrophils (termed “vaping disease”). It...

  • The Effect of Protein Nitration on Cell Survival Pathways in Schwann Cells

    Creator:
    Graumann, Oliver W.
    Abstract:
    Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a genetic disorder caused by the inactivation of the merlin tumor suppressor gene. NF2 patients develop bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS) and other nervous system tumors with no effective drug treatment option. In pathological conditions, including NF2, production of the oxidant peroxynitrite leads to protein tyrosine...

  • Investigating physical drivers of phytoplankton bloom initiation in the Northern Gulf of Alaska

    Creator:
    Ballantine, Kaleigh
    Abstract:
    The spring bloom is a key oceanic phenomenon in the Northern Gulf of Alaska (NGA), where it supports the regional ecosystem, fisheries, and CO2 sequestration. Despite its significance, mechanisms that trigger NGA blooms are still debated, largely due to a lack of sufficient data from late winter through spring. New...
