Exploring Chromodomain Genes in the Fungus Fusarium graminearum Through Targeted Genetic Manipulation

Creator:: Peters, Alec
Abstract:: DNA segments in the fungus Fusarium graminearum were identified as possible genes encoding for chromodomain proteins (CDPs), and targeted for genetic manipulation. Targeted single-gene deletion strains, as wells as GFP-S tag fusion strains, were generated from wildtype F. graminearum protoplasts, and verified strains were screened for phenotypic differences, such as...

Examining Footwear Wear Patterns for Injury Prevention

Creator:: Westbrook, Alec R.
Abstract:: Tracking footwear wear patterns is vital to the footwear industry. In the game of tennis, there are several court surfaces that produce unique wear patterns on footwear that are constantly changing according to the following factors: level of competition, level of experience, coordination, age, height, weight, and more. By tracking...

The Development and Implementation of Interactive Virtual Laboratories

Creator:: Bowen, Alec S.
Abstract:: The Interactive Virtual Laboratories (IVLs) are a series of two-dimensional simulations designed to help students conceptually learn difficult concepts in thermodynamics. Three studies were performed to help elucidate how the IVLs affect student learning. In the first study, eight students were observed while completing one of the IVLs. The students...

The Implementation of Passive RFID Tags to Sample Volumetric Water Content for an Autonomous Irrigation System

Creator:: Guo, Matthew D.
Abstract:: The agricultural industry in the Western United States continues to possess issues of overwatering, accounting for over 80% of consumed water per year in the country. While technologies such as satellite imaging and sensor networks have slowly improved irrigation Best Management Practices to reduce superfluous water consumption, limitations associated with...

Retrospective study of the prevalence of Pseudoloma neurophilia between zebrafish sexes

Creator:: Chow, Fidelis
Abstract:: As a major biological model for biomedical research, maintaining healthy zebrafish (Danio rerio) is imperative for accurate and consistent lab results. This retrospective study focuses on Pseudoloma neurophilia, a microsporidium, because it is the most common pathogen found in laboratory zebrafish. An online database maintained by the Zebrafish International Resource...

The Disinformation Dozen and Media Misinformation on Science and Vaccinations

Creator:: Mabrey, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: The COVID-19 pandemic has shed a light on the need for people to trust in medical science. With the need for 70% of Americans to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity but 30% have reported vaccine hesitancy, now more than ever do we need to redouble our efforts to ensure...

Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Control of a Human-Scale Bipedal Robot

Creator:: Siekmann, Jonah A.
Abstract:: Dynamic bipedal locomotion is among the most difficult and yet relevant problems in modern robotics. While a multitude of classical control methods for bipedal locomotion exist, they are often brittle or limited in capability. In recent years, work in applying reinforcement learning to robotics has lead to superior performance across...

The United States Election System: How an Outdated Electoral Structure has led to Political Polarization in the United States

Creator:: Fitzharris, Jacob H.
Abstract:: Political Polarization in the United States is at a level higher today than at any point in the past few decades. Possible causes of this rise in polarization have been provided from various sources, including explanations such as mass media and income inequality. Through historical analysis and a wide literature...

Generating and manipulating painterly renderings of images

Creator:: Todd, Grace
Abstract:: We present a tool that converts any image into a painterly rendered one, or one that looks as though it was hand-painted. To do this, we implemented the Sobel filter to calculate the edge field that is used to create streamlines, which serve as the foundation for brush strokes. We...

Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design's Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres

Creator:: Le, Vivian T.
Abstract:: The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine...
