76 Baker, JustinDesigned Swarming Behavior Using Optimal Transportation NewworksModels of swarming behavior aid in disaster planning, direct the actions of ware- house robots, and can map the foraging characteristics of insects. These mod- els use the optimal behavior of individual agents to determine the behavior of the larger population. Optimal transportation is one such mod...2019
77 Lim, Koun (Kasha)Deglycoyslation of glucose oxidase and its application within high power enzymatic fuel cellsTo compensate for the increase of carbon dioxide level and the energy exhaust, an enzymatic fuel cell (EFC) has been investigated by researchers. In the paper, a chemical oxidative deglycosylation of an enzyme was investigated to furture improve EFCs. By deglycosylating an enzyme, the distance betwe...Fuel cells - Research; Electric power - Research; Deglycosylation; Enzymatic fuel cell; Glucose oxidase2016-04
78 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.

79 Prestgard-Duke, MichaelDynamin localization in Caenorhabditis ElegansDynamin is a 100-KDa GTPase that is essential for endocytosis. The classic model of endocytosis is a sequential mechanism: first, cell membrane is bent and internalized via the formation of a clathrin coat; next, dynamin facilitates GTP hydrolysis, resulting in membrane scission as the newly formed ...Caenorhabditis elegans; Guanosine triphosphatase; Endocytosis2014-05
80 Zheng, KennethDyck Paths and Random TreesWe give an expository survey of random trees, focusing on the interplay between plane trees and Dyck paths. The material explained here summarizes what can be found in Aldous [1], Le Gall [10], and Drmota [6]. The bijection between plane trees and Dyck paths serves as motivation for the connection b...2017

83 Kim, Bum JunDoes ceramide contribute to vascular dysfunction in mice with type 1 diabetes?Approximately 2 million individuals have type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the United States. Cardiovascular disease is 2-4-fold more prevalent in these patients but the mechanism(s) is unclear. Recently, we showed that the sphingolipid ceramide contributes to arterial dysfunction and hypertension in mice wi...Ceramide - Research; Type 1 Diabetes; Mice as laboratory animals2012-05
84 Gardner, JennaThe Disparity Between Student Science Writing and Professional Sciencetific WritingThere exists a disparity between student scientific writing and professional scientific writing. The audience, format, and intention of student papers as presented in the science classroom is different from those in the scientific field where the goal is to fully convince an unfamiliar audience and ...2017
85 Hinchman, Colin4D flow characteristics of left atrial blood flow after atrial fibrillationAtrial fibrillation is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia and causes increased risk for stroke, yet accurate pathophysiological diagnosis remains a challenge. This study aimed to further investigate the physiologic biomarkers in the left atrium (LA) related to atrial fibrillation (AF) using 4D fl...2019
86 Jensen, MadelineChanges in microbial diversity in storm-water green infrastructureIncreased urbanization has led to excess nutrients in urban ecosystems. Stormwater Green Infrastructure (SGI) is a method to capture these nutrients and prevent runoff. However, an increased understanding of ecosystem processes is needed to create more efficient SGIs. Past studies have shown that pl...2022
87 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
88 Furrer, SummerCellular and subcellular localization patterns of hepatitis delta virus in sjogren's syndrome salivary gland tissuePrimary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disorder, predominantly affecting women, that causes dry eyes, dry mouth, fatigue, and other extraglandular manifestations (Le Goff et al., 2017). It has been shown that chronic pathogen exposure can lead to development of autoimmune diseases such as...2022
89 Tang, AnnaMathematical model of drug resistance in ER+ breast Cancer: the role of the microenvironmentOne of the main obstacles to treating cancer is its ability to evolve and resist treatment. In this project, we are primarily interested mathematically modeling how the cancer microenvironment interacts with cancer cells and affects cancer's response to therapy. We aim to develop the mathematical mo...2023
90 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
91 Arnoholt, AlaynaAn analysis on the influence of anxiety in post error slowingAnxiety disorders are among the most common mental disorders and affect 15.7 million Americans each year (Lépine, 2002, p. 4). Anxiety is associated with reduced productivity, physical distress, and other diseases such as depression. Anxiety could also be influential in error response (Compton et a...2021
92 Beseris, EthanBiological impact protection in human facial hairOur study investigated selective mechanisms that influenced the evolution of facial hair in human males (Homo sapiens). Beards are often perceived as an indicator of masculinity and social dominance in men, suggesting that they may play a role in male contest competition. Some authors propose that t...2018
