A Comparative Analysis of Mercury and Lead in Sindoor from the U.S. and Bangladesh

Creator:: Breen, Anna K.
Abstract:: Heavy metals have historically been popular for use in cosmetics manufacturing due to the colorful pigmentation of heavy metal compounds. In the case of sindoor, a cosmetic used by married Hindu women for religious purposes, mercury sulfide, lead tetroxide, and lead chromate are compounds suspected to still be involved in...

The Effects of Temperature and Working Electrode Material on the Power Output of a Hydroxymethylfurfural Fuel Cell

Creator:: Breen, Joshua P.
Abstract:: The need for clean energy continues to rise as the earth’s non-renewable resources continue to be depleted to satisfy energy demands. One plausible renewable energy source exists in biomass-powered fuel cells.¹ While there are several ways to convert sugars to energy, one interesting approach is to convert the sugars to...

Probing Circadian Clock-Steroid Receptor Interactions in GnRH Neurons

Creator:: Grimwood, Victoria J.
Abstract:: Endogenous circadian clock regulation is essential to normal rhythmicity, particularly the timing of hormone release in the brain. In the context of mammalian reproduction, a surge of a specific hormone, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), initiates a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, which is required for ovulation in...

Predicting music emotion with social media discourse

Creator:: Beery, Aidan J.
Abstract:: Predicting the average affect of a piece of music is a task which has been of recent interest in the field of music information retrieval. We investigate the use of sentiment analysis on online social media conversations to predict a song’s valence and arousal. Using four music emotion datasets -...

Transcribing Solo Piano Performances from Audio to MIDI Using a Neural Network

Creator:: Ebert, Victoria
Abstract:: Automatic Music Transcription is a growing area of interest in Music Information Retrieval, and recent research has shown promise using onset detection on spectrograms. We propose a deep learning model that takes raw audio as input in order to transcribe a solo piano performance from audio to MIDI without complicated...

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...

Circadian Clock Disruption via Exposure to Extended Light at Night (LAN) Alters Epigenetic Expression of CKI Genes in the Murine Mammary Gland

Creator:: Rogers, Zackry L.
Abstract:: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths among women, with an estimated 12.4% of American women diagnosed with this tumor type. Evidence suggests that exogenous disruptors can exert epigenetic changes leading to aberrant gene expression, shifting the cellular balance toward oncogenesis. While chemical pollutant exposure is well-studied, light...

Characterization of Two Aerobic Bacteria from Canada Goose Microflora by Whole Genome Sequence Analyses

Creator:: Larkin, Abigail M.
Abstract:: The Canada goose (Branta canadensis) monogastric gut is proposed to contain aerobic spore-forming bacteria that produce non-toxin substances that may promote anti-inflammatory immune responses. It is hypothesized that the aerobic bacteria found in samples of Canada goose microflora could have probiotic effects in other avian species or used for commercial...

Circadian Dysregulation is Associated with Alterations in Tumor Suppressor Activity in Murine Mammary Tissue

Creator:: Aponso, Hiruni M.
Abstract:: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the US, however, only a small fraction of cases are attributable to heritable genetic mutations; the bulk arises from various behavioral and environmental factors. Loss of functional p53 is observed in over 50% of cases, and its activity relies...

The analysis of kisspeptin neuronal exosomes and their effects on neuronal plasticity of downstream gonadotropin-releasing hormone expressing neurons

Creator:: Ewton, Jessica
Abstract:: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons are able to trigger the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone which control the maturation of oocytes and ovulation which is vital for reproduction. They are the most downstream neurons that project to the median eminence into the pituitary portal where they release GnRH. Modulation...
