1 Fernandez, FlorenceEvaluation of environmental education in high school science courses across Salt Lake City, UtahWhile the effects of pollution become Incredibly more evident in the air of the Salt Lake Valley, many Utah high school students still lack the knowledge and information necessary to take preventative and immediate actions to protect their health and their environment. In this study, the reasons for...Environmental education -- Utah -- Salt Lake City; Science -- Study and teaching -- Utah -- Salt Lake City; Air -- Pollution -- Utah -- Salt Lake City2015-05
2 Borodai, Anastasia S.Faraday @ Home Continuing Faraday from the "U" to the YouthRecent attention has been brought to light in the United States regarding the lack of students pursuing STEM disciplines and degree programs. There is a considerable amount of research on the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Education at an early onset age. With this is...2017
3 Godfrey, RoseA porcine model for the development and testing of preoperative skin preparationsClinical preoperative skin preparations (PSPs) do not eradicate skin flora dwelling in the deepest dermal regions. Survivors constitute a persistent infection risk. In search of solutions, we created a porcine model intended for PSP developmental testing. This model employed microbiological techniqu...2022

5 Aderibigbe, JustisTrends in the usage of bidentate phosphines as ligands in nickel catalysis of hydrogenation reactionsA critically important process in catalysis is the formation of an active catalyst from the combination of a metal precursor and a ligand, as the efficacy of this reaction governs the amount of active catalyst. This review is a compacted but comprehensive review of reactions catalyzed by nickel and ...2021
6 Cowley, JacobOptimization of total synthesis of indolizidine alkaloids VIA nickel catalyzed (4 + 2) cyclization utilizing silyl and stannyl alkynesIn order to expand the versatility of the synthetic route to naturally occurring indolizidine alkaloids previously developed in the Louie Group, a path was developed using a bicyclic azetidinone to produce indolizidine alkaloids such as (+)-seco-antofine. However, due to the asymmetric nature of the...2021
7 Walker, KortnieUnderstanding and treating diabetic retinopathyDiabetic retinopathy is a neurovascular disease of the retina and is the leading cause of blindness in the working-age population in the United States. Complications as a result of hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus (DM) break down the blood-retina barrier (BRB) and retinal vasculature. Current tre...Diabetic retinopathy2015-05
8 Franchina, Jordan AveryMeasurement of bond dissociation energies of transition metal moleculesMeasuring thermochemical and kinetic properties of chemical systems has always; been a central theme of chemistry. Knowing these properties assists us in assessing; whether or not a chemical reaction is energetically feasible, efficient, and worthwhile.; Theoretical chemistry has now developed suffi...Chemical systems; thermochemical; kinetic; modeling2018-04
9 Owen, Cameron J.Infrared Multiple Photon Dissociation Spectroscopy and Guided Ion Beam Tandem Mass Spectrometry: Experimental and Theoretical investigations of Transition Metal and Lanthandie CationsEmployment of Free Electron Lasers (FELs) and a Guided Ion Beam Tandem Mass Spectrometer (GIBMS) has allowed for the spectroscopic and spectrometric investigations of a variety of ionic complexes, respectively. The data presented in Chapters 2 and 3 of this thesis were obtained using two FELs locate...2019
10 Gerton, MarinaEffects of carbon sources on secondary metabolite production by teredinibacter turneraeShipworms are wood-digesting marine bivalves that rely upon symbiotic bacteria for cellulose digestion. The symbiotic bacteria, which grow intracellularly in shipworm gill tissue, produce cellulases that are then transported to the shipworm's cecum. It has also been hypothesized that the bacteria pr...2023
11 Ballif, MicahDrugs and Pregnancy: Clinical Management with a Cystic Fibrosis FocusDespite the large number of women who become pregnant and use a medication during their pregnancy, there is very little information about the safety of the majority of medications. Most drugs approved by the FDA have undetermined teratogenic risk, but their use is prevalent in the management of dise...2019
