  • 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...

  • An Approach to Increasing Yields of a Sunscreen Compound in Recombinant Yeast

    Creator:
    Vu, Van Anh
    Abstract:
    The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly used in winemaking, baking, and brewing, also serves as a host for the production of therapeutically valuable pharmaceuticals. Recently, the Bakalinsky laboratory constructed a recombinant yeast strain expressing two zebrafish (Danio rerio) genes in order to produce a UV-protective “sunscreen” compound called gadusol. An antioxidant...

  • Sperm depletion and sperm competition in the red-sided garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis

    Creator:
    Kerns, Amelia R.
    Abstract:
    Sperm competition is the post-copulatory analog of male-male combat, wherein sperm from more than one male coincide in a female’s reproductive tract and compete with one another for fertilization of a limited number of ova. Post-copulatory sexual selection, such as sperm competition, can be a powerful driving force for the...

  • Adding value to renewable biodiesel production from the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi

    Creator:
    Brosy, Jack R.
    Abstract:
    Global warming and on-going depletion of fossil fuels have stimulated research to develop renewable sources of energy. Current renewable energy use comprises only 10% of the energy consumed in the US and is focused mostly on generating electricity. The majority of the energy consumed by the US transportation sector is...

  • Resiliency of United States Power Grids to Inclement Weather Conditions

    Creator:
    Trevis, Kyle R.
    Abstract:
    The United States depends on the electrical grid infrastructure for nearly every facet of its operation. Understanding how inclement weather affects the reliability of the grid and what the U.S. is doing to ensure its resiliency will be a key step moving forward into the 21st century as global climate...

  • Effects of Inhibitors against Syk-BTK-PI3K Signaling on Platelet Function

    Creator:
    Lofurno, Elizabeth R.
    Abstract:
    Tyrosine kinases mediate response of blood cells to stimuli and small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) serve important roles as drugs in managing hematological diseases. In healthy B cells, the B cell receptor (BCR) activates a tyrosine kinase known as Syk, which then activates BTK, PI3K, PLC􏰃2 and protein kinase...

  • Toward an Optimal Working Distance for Hyperspectral Imaging of Wood

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Michelle T.
    Abstract:
    The forest products industry relies on the production of high-quality wood to satisfy consumer requirements. Improving wood quality requires an effective and inexpensive technique for measuring critical properties such as density and microfibril angle. An emerging technology known as near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR HSI) essentially captures surface images of samples...

  • 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...

  • Activation of Co-stimulatory Molecule OX40 Increases Memory T-cell Function and Cytokine Production in Uveitis

    Creator:
    Hall, Mark
    Abstract:
    Uveitis is a serious ophthalmological disorder characterized by intraocular infiltration of inflammatory cells. In most cases, uveitis is derived from the adaptive immune response. More specifically, CD4+ T lymphocytes play an important role in the pathogenesis of uveitis by recognizing uveitogenic antigen and orchestrating the immune response. While it is...
