Tse, Justin | The Linear Algebra of the Last Passage Percolation Model | We study the linear algebra of the last passage percolation model. In this model, we want to find the statistics of maximal paths through a randomly weighted grid. Specifically we focus on bases of the set of path lengths made from paths. The maximum path length is a deterministic function of a much... | | 2017 |

Johnson, Dylan | Modular forms, Elliptic Curves, and Their Connection to Fermat's Last Theorem | Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) states that if n is an integer greater than three, the equation xn + yn = zn has no integer solutions with xyz 6= 0. This incredible statement eluded proof for over three-hundred years: in that time, mathematicians developed numerous tools which finally proved FLT in 1995... | | 2020 |

Tonks, Jacob | Politics without character: Liberal virtues and the situationist critique | A critique of virtue ethics has recently been raised by social psychologists who believe experimental psychology has all but proved the non-existence of character. In morally compromising situations, external situational factors have the greatest influence on choice, and therefore virtue as a stable... | Situation ethics; Virtue Choice (Psychology); Autonomy (Philosophy) | 2015-05 |

Uchida, Kimberly Akimi | Post-translational regulation of the tumor suppressor PDCD4 | Expression of the tumor suppressor Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) is correlated with better survival outcomes in several types of cancer. When PDCD4 is coexpressed with protein arginine methyltransferase 5, however, this trend does not hold true, suggesting that PDCD4 methylation is involved in the... | Tumor suppressor proteins - Regulation | 2013-12 |

Hunter, Samuel | Signaling Role of the Hamp Domain in the Escherichia Coli Serine Chemoreceptor | The chemoreceptor Tsr enables Escherichia coli to track serine gradients in its environment. Binding of serine to the periplasmic domain propagates a signaling conformational change through other domains of the chemoreceptor molecule to modulate the activity of CheA, a kinase associated with t... | Chemoreceptors - Research | 2016-07 |

Newton, James | Social behaviors in the developing Danio Rerio larva and adult Danionella | Larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) in most respects excel as an animal model in the study of neural networks, due to their small size and optical transparency. These traits permit optogenetic manipulation and live neuronal imaging of the entire brain, which when paired with behavioral analysis, have pot... | Zebrafish (Zebra danio) - behavior; Zebrafish - embryology; Zebrafish - physiology | 2016-04 |
