Evaluation of a Monoclonal Antibody for Studying MHC Class I Antigen Presentation In-Vitro

Creator:: VanderHoek, Eden N.
Abstract:: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family, is frequently dysregulated in a variety of cancers. Overexpression of the receptor leads to increased cell proliferation and resistance to cell death due to downstream signaling effects. Proteasomal degradation of HER2 results in the...

Illegal to Exist : The Criminalization of Houselessness in the United States

Creator:: Waite, Mariah E.
Abstract:: In the United States, the state of housing and the lack thereof has been declared a national crisis. In response, cities have taken measures to police behaviors that are associated with what they perceive to be disorder and decay. These behaviors are also commonly associated with houselessness. Laws that criminalize...

Punitive Versus Rehabilitative Educational and Prison Systems: An In-Depth Comparison and Analysis of the School-to-Prison Pipeline

Creator:: Hawash, Sarra M.
Abstract:: Youth in the United States of America are disproportionately affected by the School-to-Prison Pipeline, especially low-income and/or BIPOC youth. This is a result of centuries of historical classism and racism that serve as the foundation of the United States and is directly correlated with mass incarceration and the Prison Industrial...

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

Creator:: 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...

Transcription Factors Associated with Tomato Seed Germination

Creator:: Sun, Jing
Abstract:: Seed germination is strictly defined as the physiological events before radicle protrusion through the endosperm cap, the endosperm region adjacent to the radicle tip. There are two opposing forces governing seed germination: the growth potential of the embryo and the mechanical resistance of the endosperm cap. The endosperm cap cell...

Preparation of Tacrolimus-loaded Biodegradable Nanoparticles for Sustained Drug Delivery

Creator:: Kinser, Reid
Abstract:: Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressant drug approved by the FDA for the prevention of organ transplant rejection. However, the use of this drug is hindered by its narrow therapeutic window and extreme insolubility in water. Due to these properties, the currently used tacrolimus preparations must be administered once or twice daily...

Characterizing PM2.5 with Different Source Contributions

Creator:: Perez, Allison Mae S.
Abstract:: Ubiquitous fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposures significantly impact global public health, yet little is known about the mechanisms causing these known adverse health effects. Oxidative stress due to PM2.5 associated chemical constituents, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is a proposed possible mechanism for PM2.5 mediated health effects. Variations in...

Healthcare for the Houseless; How Lack of Health Equity Disproportionately Shortens the Life Expectancy of the Unhoused

Creator:: Newman, Sophia R.
Abstract:: The national average life expectancy for houseless individuals in the United States is forty seven years, which is thirty years lower than the overall average. I argue that this disproportionately short life expectancy of the houseless is reflective of significant health inequities in the United States that disproportionately impact the...

Using TEM to Evaluate the Importance of the Microbiome and Virome Between Fire Corals and Scleractinian Corals

Creator:: Duke, William C.
Abstract:: As important ecological cornerstones, coral reefs face threats from a myriad of sources, such as global climate change, and importantly, disease, the latter often as a result of microbial pathogens. An understudied group of major corals, fire corals, and their even less understood microbiome present an opportunity to learn more...

A genomic and proteomic characterization of the first cultured oligotrophic marine Gammaproteobacterium from the SAR92 clade

Creator:: Mellbye, Brett L.
Abstract:: High-throughput culturing (HTC) consisting of extinction culturing in autoclaved seawater has led to the isolation and characterization of many novel strains of oligotrophic marine bacteria. Strain HTCC 2207 was isolated from the Oregon coast by the HTC method. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that this strain...

Removing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Assay Interference from Landfill Leachate Samples Treated with Fenton's Reagents

Creator:: Palmer, Matthew
Abstract:: Incompatibility between Fenton’s Reagents and a potassium dichromate COD test provides interference that prevent accurate measurements of the concentration of organics from oxidized samples. Several treatment options were tested to remove this interference. Oxidation of reagents was eliminated as a potential method for removal of interference due to sample contamination....
