  • An analysis of residential zoning density and local tax revenue

    Creator:
    Walker, Joseph D.
    Abstract:
    There is a considerable body of research on the effect of land use regulations on property values. However, less work has been done on the relationships surrounding tax revenue, small zoning changes, and the fiscal outlook of cities and counties. As a result, the purpose of this study is to...

  • Drug Discovery in Soil Bacteria from Unique Ecosystems of India and Indonesia

    Creator:
    Tran, Victor
    Abstract:
    Natural products isolated from bacteria can be developed into new therapeutic agents. The soil bacteria actinomycetes, specifically the Streptomyces species, are prolific producers of antibiotics. This thesis is composed of two projects which focus on novel drug discovery from soil bacteria collected from the Indonesian Black Water Ecosystem (the ICBB...

  • Analysis of Alternative Donor Breast Milk Pasteurization Techniques and Their Impact on Bile Salt-Stimulated Lipase Activity

    Creator:
    Victor, Ashley F.
    Abstract:
    While breast milk is considered the best nourishment for newborns, they have a lowered ability to digest the fat rich liquid due to decreased lipase secretion for the first few months after birth. To offset this, breast milk itself contains Bile Salt-Stimulated Lipase (BSSL) which significantly heightens fat digestion ability....

  • A taxonomy of biomolecular features

    Creator:
    North, Jacob L.
    Abstract:
    The scientific method applies hypothesis testing to material samples through experimentation, measurement, and data analysis, which produce representations—or features—that describe phenomena of interest. Biomolecular features come in numerous forms such as values, matrices, graphs, three-dimensional structures, trajectories, and molecular surfaces. Researchers have tested thousands of features related to protein molecules...

  • The Design, Manufacturing, and Testing of an Undertray for Formula SAE

    Creator:
    Dang, Victor Q.
    Abstract:
    A student-built lap time simulation coupled with the scoring model of the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Series has revealed the major importance of downforce on overall points. As a result, the Global Formula Racing (GFR) team has recently focused much effort towards the development of an aerodynamics package...

  • Building a cassette-based system for combined eukaryotic gene expression

    Creator:
    Madhira, Raviteja
    Abstract:
    Gene regulatory networks control the state of a cell. Models of such networks have been produced for sea urchin development and suggest that cell type may be defined by distinct network kernels. Such kernels are composed of a set of sequence specific DNA-binding transcription factors (SSTFs) that maintain each other’s...

  • Creation of At This Point, an undergraduate-focused science podcast

    Creator:
    Puoci, Victor (Tori) M.
    Abstract:
    At This Point, an undergraduate-focused science podcast, works to expand the accessibility of science by exploring topics that, at this point, may seem too complex to understand. This thesis project describes the process of creating At This Point and demonstrates how the podcast fulfills the criteria of effective science communication....

  • Classification and Analysis of Nucleotide - Nucleotide Interactions in RNA

    Creator:
    Rouches, Mason
    Abstract:
    Base-pairing interaction are the fundamental blocks of an RNA structure. With increased ability to determine the structure of RNA molecules, an accurate and informative way of classifying these interactions would help to study RNA structure at many levels. Apart from the well-known complementary base pairs and wobble pairs, other interactions...

  • The Cathelicidin Anti-microbial peptide gene alters the mouse gut microbiome

    Creator:
    Rouches, Miles V.
    Abstract:
    The gut microbiome influences human disease including Type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome and interacts with the innate immune system. The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (hCAMP), an important component of the innate immune system, and vitamin D and xanthohumol, a natural compound found in beer hops, regulate its expression....

    Mitev, Georgi Mitko
    Abstract:
    Two different types of Phosphorodiamidate Morpholino Oligomers (PMOs) were used to inhibit growth in pure cultures of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium and in mouse macrophages infected with S. typhimurium. Both PMOs were 11 bases long and complementary to bases 6-16 of acyl carrier protein mRNA. A membrane-penetrating peptide, (RXR)4XB, was...
