  • An Exploration Into The Ever-changing Expanse of Non-periodic Tilings

    Creator:
    Tassin, Ian
    Abstract:
    This paper synthesizes various works Wang tiles up to this point, including: the reduction from the Halting Problem to Wang Tiling Problem and notions around various aspects of periodicity, including minimal period, aperiodicity, and axis-aligned periodicity. Additionally it includes new work, including: a proof that a tiling can be periodic...

  • Cancer Cell Detection with Mask R-CNN

    Creator:
    Wong, Ryan
    Abstract:
    Instance segmentation, the classification and localization of objects in an image, is a problem in cellular biophysics due to the physiological relevance of cell morphology. Particularly, cancer cells migrate in tissue space by changing their body shape similarly to how humans extend their limbs to swim through water. Monitoring such...

  • Music Generation and Evaluation Using R

    Creator:
    Lanz, Andrea L.
    Abstract:
    The main goal of this project is to implement an algorithmic music composition procedure and present all procedures and results in a reproducible fashion by creating a web application produced by R. To approach the implementation of the algorithmic composition of music, we start by exploring various models, but ultimately...

  • Hi-C genome assembly of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Rhizopogon salebrosus

    Creator:
    Har, Skyler
    Abstract:
    Rhizopogon salebrosus is an abundant ectomycorrhizal fungus common throughout Western North America that forms mutualistic partnerships with Pinus species. Studied for its systematics, use in sapling nurseries, post-fire seedling establishment, and unique evolutionary history, R. salebrosus holds many secrets within its genome. This thesis aims to characterize the mating system,...

  • Associations between state alcohol tax policies and college sexual assault offenses

    Creator:
    Killion, Rebecca
    Abstract:
    Previous literature consistently demonstrates a link between binge drinking and sexual assault among college students. State alcohol control policies, particularly tax policies, are established as important predictors of college binge drinking but have not been examined in relation to sexual assault. This study used merged data on student demographics and...

  • 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...

  • Characterization of the Sodium Transporting NADH:Quinone Oxidoreductase (NQR) in Vibrio cholerae

    Creator:
    Fassio, Sara R.
    Abstract:
    Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera, a serious diarrheal disease in developing countries. V. cholerae has a unique redox driven respiration-linked sodium pump, Na⁺ translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (NQR). Several reports previously showed that NQR plays an important role in virulence, metabolism, and sodium homeostasis of V. cholerae. This...

  • The Impacts of Voluntourism in a Rural Community in Nepal

    Creator:
    Hamby, Taylor R.
    Abstract:
    Voluntourism is a field of service work that combines volunteer work and leisure travel. With its increase in popularity in recent years, research concerning the impacts of voluntourism in developing countries is lacking. This study aims to discover the impacts that volunteers have on communities, specifically in Nepal. Using a...

  • Why the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) is a Failing League and What Should Be Done to Improve It

    Creator:
    Mannen, Noelle R.
    Abstract:
    The WNBA is a league that has been characterized by struggle ever since its inception in 1996. The biggest reason for nearly all of its problems lies with one source: money. The WNBA simply does not have enough money to make it a functionable professional sports league. As a result...

  • The Influence of Scent and Owner Presence on Cat Attachment Behavior

    Creator:
    Behnke, Alexandra C.
    Abstract:
    Domesticated cats frequently use their sense of smell to navigate their environment, convey social cues, and communicate with other individuals. In applied contexts, cat owners are often encouraged to leave items holding their scent with their cat in periods of absence with the aim of reducing stress. The purpose of...
