  • Improving the sensitivity in a paper-based Test for the home monitoring of phenylalanine levels in phenylketonuria patients

    Creator:
    Wong, Liam
    Abstract:
    Monitoring phenylalanine (Phe) levels in the blood of individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) is a critical component of therapy. Existing tests for PKU require high-resource laboratories, which are not available to many populations and cannot provide the real-time feedback required for effective therapy monitoring. It would be ideal to develop an...

  • Ink and Substrate Compatibility for Electrochemical Sensing in Paper-based Devices

    Creator:
    Reid, Caitlin A.
    Abstract:
    Electrochemical sensing provides a quantitative alternative to colorimetric reactions within paper-based devices. The paper-based devices were fabricated by screen printing the conductive and reference inks onto porous substrates that were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry. Devices were evaluated based on the magnitude of the average anodic peak height, which correlates with...

  • Self Assembly of GeO₂ Nanoparticles: A Biomimetic Approach

    Creator:
    Gessford, Makayla SueAnn Fu Ting
    Abstract:
    Diatoms are single celled eukaryotic microalgae that self-assemble complex SiO₂ nanostructures by sillafin proteins within their cell wall. There has been increasing interest in mimicking the diatom’s silica self-assembly process for fabricating metal oxide nanoparticles, namely germanium dioxide (GeO₂). GeO₂ has a higher refractive index than silica, enabling it to...

  • Gold Nanoparticles as Thiophenol Detection Probes

    Creator:
    Pond, Emily
    Abstract:
    The development of simple, rapid, and sensitive methods for thiophenol detection is of great importance in various fields, including environmental monitoring and food quality. Here, we present a novel approach for the colorimetric detection of thiophenols using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the sensing platform. AuNPs aggregate in the presence of...

  • Mapping Spine Surgical Outcomes and Risk Factors

    Creator:
    Hernandez, Phillip A.
    Abstract:
    The majority of people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain is the leading cause of disability globally, ahead of 290 other conditions1. Over one million people in the United States receive spine surgery annually2. This thesis looked at five standard surgical procedures performed on...

  • Mood-dynamic playlist : interpolating a path of emotions using a KNN algorithm

    Creator:
    Gaur, Shaurya
    Abstract:
    Users curate music playlists based on emotion to focus or relax, so streaming services often create playlists of songs to aid this process. Prior research focuses on generating playlists of a single mood or genre, although a few studies work to construct automatic playlists that transition between the genres of...

  • Differential Binding and Structural Properties of the WWC Protein Family

    Creator:
    Rodriguez, Diego Javier
    Abstract:
    The WWC family consists of three proteins‐ KIBRA/WWC1, WWC2, and WWC3. The three proteins share a similar primary structure and interact with a common set of proteins. Each paralog contains two WW domains which recognize proline‐rich sequences of the type PPxY (P is proline, Y is tyrosine, x is any...

  • Effects of Facial Tattoos on Perceptions of Facial Trustworthiness

    Creator:
    Landrus, Bryn E.
    Abstract:
    Background: Individuals rapidly infer character traits and behaviors through the process of facial perception. Perceptions of trustworthiness, accurate or not, completed by authorities in the criminal justice system may have implications for individuals suspected of crimes, including harsher or longer sentencing decisions. Objective: The present study concerned how the presence...

  • Exploring the Synthesis of 4-Deoxygadusol

    Creator:
    Jujjuri, Anantha Poojitha
    Abstract:
    Sunscreen products are used worldwide to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation. However, some of the ingredients used in sunscreen products are fatal to coral reefs especially in areas where tourism is a large part of the economy. In this study, we explored a synthetic route to produce 4-deoxygadusol, which...

  • Characterization of a Novel Metalloprotease Secreted by the Type II Secretion System in Vibrio cholerae

    Creator:
    Park, Bo R.
    Abstract:
    Vibrio cholerae, a Gram-negative bacterium, is the etiological agent of cholera. V. cholerae shuttles between the human host and the aquatic reservoir, where it associates with marine organisms such as copepods and vertebrate fish. The bacteria use the Type II Secretion System (T2SS) to release proteins that facilitate V. cholerae...
