  • Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Clare
    Abstract:
    Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...

  • Arsenic methylation by marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus

    Creator:
    Lee, Mikaela
    Abstract:
    Our experiments aimed to investigate responses of the marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus to toxic arsenic species, such as arsenate, and to understand cellular mechanisms that contribute to arsenic tolerance. We used two strains of Prochlorococcus, a high-light adapted MED4 and low-light adapted MIT9313, both axenic, for cultivation experiments. For...

  • The Analysis of Kisspeptin Neuronal Exosomes and their Effects in the Periphery at the Level of the Bone

    Creator:
    James, Teagan
    Abstract:
    Estrogen (E2) is essential for multiple physiological effects in females, ensuring maximum reproductive fitness and maintaining skeletal homeostasis. E2 has been shown to stimulate cancellous bone formation via activation of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), an effect widely accepted to be mediated directly at bone. A recent landmark study by Herber...

  • The effects of oxytocin on proximity - seeking behavior and vocalizations in shelter cats

    Creator:
    Sakaguchi, Naomi K.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of intranasally administered oxytocin on the sociability of adult, neutered, male and female shelter cats, as measured by proximity-seeking behavior and meow vocalizations. Two local Humane Societies were sampled in this study. The shelter cats were randomly assigned to one...

  • The effects of marine biodiversity loss on coastal economics

    Creator:
    McAbery, Emma
    Abstract:
    The oceans are one of humanity’s greatest resources, providing food, raw materials, livelihoods, and protection. More than 3 billion people around the world rely on marine life as a source of protein as well as their livelihood. Seafood is one of the highest traded commodities globally and many major cities...

  • Mythical anatomy of dragons

    Creator:
    Coughlin, Emma
    Abstract:
    I researched depictions of dragons in several works of modern literature to conceptualize what a dragon looks like and how they generally function in popular media. From there, I researched several key characteristics of dragons to see how they work with science’s current understanding. I looked into size and scaling,...

  • Generating Communication -Deficient and -Intensified Neurons to Determine Effects on Multicellular Information Networks

    Creator:
    Starman, Alia
    Abstract:
    Multicellular coordination in response to environmental stimuli is essential in biology, and this coordination is often achieved by a division of labor to establish leaders and followers in a cell population. This is called emergent leadership, but how a cell adopts its role and effectively exchanges information with peers is...

  • Neural and Behavioral Components of Moral Elevation

    Creator:
    Lewis, Blanca M.
    Abstract:
    Moral elevation, or elevation, is a prosocial emotional state elicited by witnessing displays of altruism or moral beauty. For this study, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and autonomic physiology activity were monitored during elevation induction. We hypothesized that changes would occur in mPFC activity during elevation and that these would significantly...

    Abstract:
    This work is concerned with determining whether nicotine has a role in promoting oxidative damage in human tissue, particularly in lung tissue. This follows from recent reports of a novel lung disease found in some E-cigarette users, characterized by oxidative damage and elevated levels of neutrophils (termed “vaping disease”). It...

  • The Various Roles of LC8, a Human Hub Protein, in the Viral Replication Cycle

    Creator:
    Donner, Brianna L.
    Abstract:
    The phosphoprotein (P protein) in viruses of the Mononegavirales order is known to play an essential role in the completion of viral replication mechanisms. The P protein is involved in stabilizing the viral polymerase and nucleoprotein during RNA transcription and replication, regulating nascent RNA encapsidation by the nucleoprotein, and mediation...
