Through the Eyes of Five: Combating Pandemic Amnesia Through the Collection and Preservation of COVID-19 Stories

Schöpfer:: Celaya, Alanna
Abstract:: The 1918-1919 influenza pandemic led to a phenomenon termed as pandemic amnesia. It is apparent that the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a disturbingly similar pattern. My thesis investigated the prevalence and perils of pandemic amnesia in the context of COVID-19. I explored this issue through a review of scholarly literature...

Multiracial Identity Development: Parental Transmission, Belonging and Mental Health

Schöpfer:: Nakamura-Daya, Hana J.
Abstract:: The present study explores the topic of Multiracial Identity Development and how parents play an important role in the identity development of children. The role of parents becomes crucial for parents of Multiracial children as they transmit cultural values, beliefs, language, and practices. Although models of racial identity development exist,...

Investigating the Interplay of Age, Zinc Status, and the Gut Microbiome on Gut Health

Schöpfer:: Vasudevan, Anusha
Abstract:: Zinc is an important micronutrient involved in many cellular processes, including those part of immune function; however, about 15% of the US population is at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. This can lead to immune system complications including the generation of inflammatory cytokines. Aging is another factor that worsens the...

Effects of Yeast Type and Environmental Factors on Kombucha Fermentation

Schöpfer:: Julianna, Winding
Abstract:: Kombucha is a fermented sweet tea beverage of Asian origin which has become popular in the West due to its distinct flavor and possible health benefits. Kombucha is fermented by inoculating sweet tea with yeast and bacteria until a pellicle, referred to as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and...

Developing a Method For Quantitation of Organic Acid Exometabolites Released By Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Grown Under Oral Cavity-like Conditions

Schöpfer:: Akmal, Ryaan
Abstract:: Tooth decay in the form of dental caries and cavities is estimated to be among the most common health conditions globally, with treatment of these oral diseases resulting in a massive, world-wide economic burden. The cause of this demineralization of teeth is rooted in the action of complex microbial biofilms...

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

Schöpfer:: 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...

Arsenic methylation by marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus

Schöpfer:: Lee, Mikaela
Abstract:: Our experiments aimed to investigate responses of the marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus to toxic arsenic species, such as arsenate, and to understand cellular mechanisms that contribute to arsenic tolerance. We used two strains of Prochlorococcus, a high-light adapted MED4 and low-light adapted MIT9313, both axenic, for cultivation experiments. For...

Conversion of Waste Plastics to Diesel-Like Fuel Through Pyrolysis

Schöpfer:: Carlson, Kayla
Abstract:: As the development, processing, and manufacturing of plastic has improved over the years, so has our amount of plastic waste. Currently, only approximately 9% of post-consumer plastics get recycled. The other 91% is buried in landfills, burned, ends up in the ocean, or is accumulating in communities without access to...

Examining Early Gender Disparities in Academic Performance: A Pre-School Analysis of Gender Differences and Observations in Academic Assessments

Schöpfer:: Snisky, Briana
Abstract:: Executive function (EF) is an extensively researched topic as a predictor for academic achievements for children. Delineated as qualities of self-regulation, EF prepares a child to produce successful behaviors for their learning and social environments. Entering school with sufficient self-regulation skills is proven advantageous for scholarly performance. Within the early...

Sensorless Localization for Robots and Wheelchairs

Schöpfer:: Subramanian, Ashwin
Abstract:: Despite an increase in the number of people who rely on manual wheelchairs, there are still substantial economic barriers to affordable and accessible localization systems. As a result, there is a pressing need to build a versatile yet low cost localization system for manual wheelchairs. Such systems allow users to...
