476 Clement Y. ChowFunctional test for possible genetic modifiers of piga defficiency2023
477 Gardner, ShalyceFunctional test for possible genetic modififers of piga defficiencyPIGA deficiency is a rare X-linked recessive disorder that lacks effective treatment options. A protein encoded by the PIGA gene catalyzed the first step in biosynthesis of Glycosylphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors. Partial loss of function mutations in PIGA can prevent a cell from being able to synthe...2023
478 Lethaby, AidanFunctional validation and improvement of a low-cost control system for assistive robotic devicesThe goal of this research is to increase the affordability of portable and intuitive control systems for assistive robotic devices used by patients and researchers. Current control systems are either expensive or utilize unintuitive inputs such as foot-mounted inertia measurement units (for prosthes...2022
479 Ward, Bridget E.Functionalizing a hemagglutinin epitope tag for induced mitochondrial protein degradation in saccharomyces cerevisiaeMitochondria are organelles known for their role in many critical cellular processes including the production of metabolic energy in eukaryotic cells. In order to produce this energy, mitochondria continually transport metabolites across the impermeable mitochondrial inner membrane. The transport of...2022
480 Zhang, ConanFund Raising Game Development Through CrowdfundingThis paper seeks to formally review and evaluate a Kickstarter campaign launched by a team of five students at the University of Utah. First, an introduction to the topic and its environment is outlined to clarify where the project came from. Next, an overview of the product's design and development...2017
481 Capener, JacobG Protein-Coupled resecptor kinase 2 mediated phosphorylation for The Activation of SmoothenedThe Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is a cell signaling pathway that is involved in embryonic development and adult tissue maintenance in vertebrates. Improper functioning of this pathway can lead to developmental disorders and several forms of cancer. Despite the pathway's biological importance, the transduc...2020
482 Imig, JulieGalactic Evolution of Phosphorus and Sulfur Using Star ClustersThe chemical composition of a galaxy changes as it evolves, so understanding the evolutionary processes of individual elements can be powerful tools in unravelling the history of a galaxy. Phosphorus is considered one of the key building blocks of life, and sulfur is an alpha-element, a tracer of su...2017
483 Spackman, JamesGame feel development analysis of student game final projectGame feel expresses the unique "feeling" a game provides to the player and is seen as an underdeveloped language that game developers are looking to leave their mark on. Achieving good game feel is challenging and requires a substantial number of resources through slow incremental developmental test...2023
484 Sencion, MaglayGardens on food security and health of resettled refugees in the Salt Lake City AreaThere are several nutritional challenges that refugees and immigrants face during and after migration. Often, they arrive in their new countries with nutrition deficiencies due to cultural and language barriers, poor housing, and low socioeconomic conditions. Following their arrival, recently resett...2023
485 Borrowman, WilliamGas exchange of co-occurring plant species of the Great Basin Desert in an irrigated common gardenThe majority of plants in the Great Basin ecosystem have adapted to cope with drought during summer. While general characteristics of these plants have been studied in non-managed environments it is important to investigate the physiology of these plants when additional water is supplied. In this ...Urban heat island -- Prevention; Desert plants -- Ecology -- Great Basin -- Research; Plant ecophysiology -- Research; Irrigation -- Environmental aspects; Red Butte Garden (Salt Lake City, Utah)2014-04
486 Mothershead, AlainaGay Cuba: Oppression Under the Revolutionary GovernmentFollowing the otherwise socially progressive Cuban revolution, government-sponsored homophobia and anti-gay state-sponsored popular culture constructed a narrative to separate homosexuality from revolutionary modernity and instead associate it with U.S. decadence, therefore justifying the persecutio...2019
487 Nielson, ClarkGel-Cast fluorapatite scaffolding for bone repairCalcium-phosphate bioceramics have long been attempted as replacement bone substitutes due to their resemblance to the mineral component of natural bone tissue, and because their dissolution byproducts can elicit new bone growth. Many studies have demonstrated that fluoridated hydroxyapatite, or flu...2021
488 Du Pre, Jessie J.Gender differences in recollected consistency or change in same sex sexuality across the lifespan: Measuring linkages between flexibility in sexual attraction, behavior, and love propensityThe flexibility of same sex attractions, engagement in same sex sexual behaviors, and propensity to fall in love with same sex partners were examined by assessing selfreported change over time in men and women of heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual orientations. We sought to examine whether the l...Same sex attraction; Gender differences2015-12

490 Tibolla, tylerGendered differences in advertistingA growing number of consumers find it important that companies take a stand on social issues and begin to support those businesses more who align with their personal views. If corporations continue to ignore large percentages of the population, they cannot meet the needs of those consumers. There is...2022
491 Herbert-Voss, ArielGenerating audio mixtures using deep convolutional neural networksDeep neural networks have recently been used in a generative capacity to separate and convolve the content and style of two input images. This is done using a joint cost function during gradient descent that encodes information about style and content to iteratively calculate forward node activation...Computer sound processing; Computer music; Machine learning; Neural networks; Audio mixtures; Spectrograms; Split integer scaling2016-05
492 Loret, AmyGenetic Modifiers of Severity in Collagen VI-Related Muscular DystrophyCollagen VI-related muscular dystrophies (COL6-RD) display phenotypic heterogeneity that includes mild Bethlem myopathy (BM), intermediate (INT), and severe Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) phenotypes. COL6-RD are characterized by mutations within the collagen VI genes (COL6A1, COL6A2, a...2019
493 Rahmati, KasraGenetically Modified Chemotaxis Signaling Protein Chey Binds to the Rotor Protein Flin to Control the Direction of Flagellar Rotation in Escherichia ColiBacterial chemotaxis is the directed movement of a bacterium in response to environmental chemical stimuli. Cells of E. coli, for example, swim by rotating their flagella and direct their movement by regulating reversals between counterclockwise (CCW) and clockwise (CW) rotation. The switch from CCW...2020
494 Scott, BrooklynGenomic insights into lineage specific differences in macaque social behaviorStudies of behavioral variation in primates are increasingly examining the role that genes have in determining social styles. The genus Macaca, for which phylogeny plays a central role in behavior, represents a useful group to explore behavioral genetics. Differences in macaque aggression and age of...2021
495 Acosta, LehiGenotype-dependent susceptibility to influenza and titer-virulence discordanceThe influenza a virus (IAV) is a major source of human mortality and both recent and anticipated pandemics make understanding this major human pathogen of paramount importance1,2. The use of mouse models allows us to experimentally manipulate critical variables to more fully understand the dynamics ...Influenza A virus - Research; Mice as laboratory animals - Research; Transmissibility; Virulence; Viral titers; Erythropoeintin2016-05
496 Bischoff, SarahGenre Experimentation and Argumentative Efficacy in Kazuo Ishiguro's When We Were Orphans and Viet Thanh Nguyen's the SympathizerIn Contesting Genres in Contemporary Asian American Fiction, Betsy Huang posits that genre experimentation within Asian American literature rebels against the xenophobic histories of various crime genres.

499 Liu, HansGlimpses of Chinese and Indian Coolie Resistance in the British West Indies, C. 1834-1917Many people are relatively unaware of the hundreds of thousands of indentured workers from China and India, known as coolies, that labored in the British West Indies during and after the end of the trans-Atlantic slave trade between 1834 and 1918. While some scholars have acknowledged the presence o...2019
