  • Study of Organic Semiconductors Using Time-Resolved Charge Measurements at the Microscale

    Creator:
    Wallace, Richard
    Abstract:
    Understanding charge transfer in organic semiconductors is important for developing devices like organic light emitting diodes and flexible electronics. Optical tweezers have been used in many disciplines for trapping, manipulating, and analyzing microscopic objects such as microspheres, micro-organisms, and other colloidal particles. Using optical tweezers, studies have measured the average...

  • Characterization of Fer1L6 lipid binding properties and its expression in cell cycle

    Creator:
    Chau, Trisha J.
    Abstract:
    Ferlins are a family of calcium-sensitive proteins involved in fusion and fission membrane trafficking events. There are six ferlin members: dysferlin, otoferlin, myoferlin, Fer1L4, Fer1L5, and Fer1L6. Previous research shows the first three ferlins play a pathophysiological role in humans, while the other three remain uncharacterized. Fer1L6 is one of...

  • How sweet is the land? Modeling caloric landscapes for tropical hummingbirds

    Creator:
    Birkett, Christina Nozomi and Birkett, Nozomi Fukui
    Abstract:
    Pollination is a critical ecosystem function for sustaining biodiversity. However, pollinators and the services they provide are threatened by landscape-altering anthropogenic activities across the globe. Habitat loss and fragmentation, introduction of invasive species, chemical use, and urbanization have been shown to impact pollination. Pollinator foraging behavior is thought to be...

  • Labels and its effects on deviance : correlation between internalization and deviance

    Creator:
    Garcia, Tawny
    Abstract:
    In society, labeling can play an important role in how people interact with one another every day. This research focuses on the relationship between internalization and deviance, two important concepts in Labeling Theory. The main question is, does the internalization of a label play a role, whether it be positive...

  • How Race Impacts Voter Participation: A Study

    Creator:
    Dietz, Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    What does race have to do with it? A study of racial conflict theory. Looking back at the 2012 Presidential election, it is important to re-evaluate who participates in a democratic process. It is necessary to observe voter participation by people of color in order to gain a more robust...

  • Wildfire Severity Has a Minimal Influence on Pollen Diversity Used by Developing Mason Bees (Osmia lignaria) in Mixed Conifer Forest

    Creator:
    Bell, Nicole C. S.
    Abstract:
    Native bees are critically important organisms that support biodiversity and crop production via their pollination services. Wildfires in temperate conifer forests can increase bee abundance and flowering plant density due to increased light exposure, but little information is available regarding how wildfire severity influences provisioning to bee offspring, which is...

  • Min protein oscillations in E. Coli

    Creator:
    Zeto, Rene
    Abstract:
    The Min protein system in Escherichia coli helps the cell division process by identifying the center of the cell [1, 7]. This system has been modeled succesfully computationally under standard conditions. There has been recent experimental interest in the cell division process for significantly perturbed cell shapes. We take the...

  • A novel method for detecting lines on a noisy image

    Creator:
    Lin, Daniel
    Abstract:
    We developed an integration-based line detection algorithm. Existing line detection methods such as the Hough Transformation (HT) and its variants are insensitive to image noise. The reason is that HT finds lines by calculating the gradient of the image and assumes that the region where the gradient is the steepest...
