  • Assessing an Adult Zebrafish Model for In Vivo Delivery of Morpholino Oligomers

    Creator:
    Kim, Joseph Y.
    Abstract:
    Antisense morpholino oligomers are synthetic macromolecules can modify gene expression. While these compounds have great potential to treat a broad range of human diseases, they suffer from poor cellular delivery. Conjugating cell-penetrating peptides onto these morpholinos is one option of addressing delivery, however development remains slow due to the cost...

  • Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions in a Cnidarian Model System

    Creator:
    Gregory, Dylan B.
    Abstract:
    The symbiotic sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (Aiptasia) is a model organism used to better understand cnidarian-algal symbiosis and coral bleaching (dysbiosis). Many biological processes are hypothesized to be involved in coral dysbiosis, and the innate immunity is a key area of interest. Rab proteins are small proteins with GTPase domains,...

  • The one-child policy and the empowerment of Chinese women

    Creator:
    Li, Yi
    Abstract:
    When people talk about the one-child policy in China, it always relates to topics like human rights violations or the population control dilemma. The one-child policy was published in the 1980s, around the same time as the Economic Reform, and these twin policies brought Chinese society tremendous changes. This paper...

  • Thin-Film Dielectric Structure of Spin-Coated ZrO2 from Aqueous Inorganic Solution

    Creator:
    Moreno Luna, Hidekel A.
    Abstract:
    An inorganic aqueous precursor for the deposition of ZrO2 thin films via spincoating was developed. Hydrolysis and condensation chemistries of ZrOCl₂·8H₂O were used as the principal reactions to guide the synthesis. Refractive index, n, for a film annealed at 300 °C at 550 nm was measured to be n=1.97 by...

  • A critical analysis of the globalization of English in the U.S. and abroad

    Creator:
    De Lora, Emily
    Abstract:
    Although thousands of volunteers from the United States go abroad each year to teach English, many are unprepared for their experiences. Undergraduate students teaching in a foreign country seem to lack training in educational methodology or foreign relations that would prepare them for teaching and living abroad. This project was...

  • Mismatch Repair-Dependent Cellular Responses to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: An Investigation of Research Methods and Materials

    Creator:
    Wickramanayake, Anneka
    Abstract:
    Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic chemical compounds found in the environment, largely as a result of partial combustion of organic compounds. PAHs are present in the atmosphere in populated cities worldwide. Because of the health risks they create, PAHs are a global health concern. PAHs are introduced into the...

  • Design of a Green Microbial Fuel Cell for Soft Robotics

    Creator:
    Van Volkenburg, Tessa
    Abstract:
    This work introduces the design and fabrication of a green-sourced and mostly biodegradable microbial fuel cell for use in soft robotic applications from environmental sensing to wastewater remediation. Theorized from other biodegradable fuel cells, this prototype achieved maximum power densities of 4.0 x 10−4 W/m2 in the single-chambered design and...

  • Two Step Oleofuran Production from Furfural and Fatty Alcohols

    Creator:
    Gadinas, Nicholas L.
    Abstract:
    A present abundance of biomass and a decreasing supply of petroleum signal the need for efficient pathways from renewable feedstocks to high value chemicals. One such class of chemicals is oleofurans, molecules comprised of a furan ring and carbon chain which can be used to make powerful hard water surfactants....

    Creator:
    Pinckney, Seth H.
    Abstract:
    The nucleocapsid protein (N protein) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is known to play an essential part of the virus’ functions. The N protein can protect and package the large 29,903 nucleotide genomic RNA whilst also interacting with structural membrane protein M and the spike protein S....

  • Comparative toxicological assessment of PAMAM and thiophosphoryl dendrimers using embryonic zebrafish.

    Creator:
    Pryor, Joseph Brian
    Abstract:
    Dendrimers are well-defined, polymeric nanomaterials currently being investigated for their biomedical applications. Initially, higher generation (size) dendrimers were of interest because of their drug carrying capacity. However, increased generation was associated with increased toxicity. The objective of the present study was to investigate the role of surface charge and generation...
