Significance of hormone replacement therapy in the experience of Lymphedema in breast cancer survivors
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Little is known about the relationship between hormone replacement therapy and Lymphedema (LE), the accumulation of lymph in soft tissue with accompanying swelling that affects 20-40% of breast cancer survivors, mainly in ...
Establishing the status of the American black bear in southern Missouri [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
The current status of the black bear population in Missouri is largely unknown, as we have little to no information concerning its size, reproductive status and origin. However, evidence suggests that the bear population ...
What's in a worm; Uncovering polymophisms in soybean cyst nematode parasitism genes that correlate with virulence
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a parasitic worm that penetrates and infects soybean roots resulting in billions of dollars in crop loss annually. The most cost effective and environmentally friendly SCN management strategy ...
A phenotypic comparison of heterosis and inbreeding depression across different ploidy levels of maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
It is hypothesized that dosage-dependent gene regulators controlling the quantitative traits contribute to heterosis and inbreeding depression in maize. Heterosis, also known as hybrid vigor, refers to the phenomenon that ...
Amyloid Beta peptide's effects on NMDA receptors in PC-12 cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Amyloid-Beta peptide (Aß), a causative agent in Alzheimer's disease (AD), is known to deposit on cell membranes, disrupt cell functions, and induce cytotoxic effects including over-production of reactive oxygen species ...
Are age-related differences in associative memory mediated by sensory decline? [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Naveh-Benjamin (2000) suggested an associative deficit hypothesis, explaining that some of the decline in episodic memory in older adults is due to their difficulty in binding unrelated components together into a cohesive ...
Regulation of menaquinone production in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strain G20 [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Menaquinones are cytoplasmic membrane components that have important roles in electron transport for energy generation in anaerobic bacteria. A simple and sensitive protocol for the purification and quantification of ...
Media lynching on the campaign trail [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
This is a multidisciplinary research project that is about the use of race in political ads from 1988 to 2006. Although the student researcher has analyzed five political ads, only one of the ads, “The Willie Horton” ad, ...
The formation of cysteine-tyrosine crosslinks via a sulfenic acid intermediate [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Cysteine residues in proteins are readily oxidized to sulfenic acids. Sulfenic acids, in turn, can act as potent electrophiles that have been observed to form intrastrand protein crosslinks with neighboring amide or cysteine ...
Plasma surface modification of silica particles for the increased strength of dental composites [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Many of the problems that exist today with current dental restoration materials can be eliminated through the use of nanofiber fillers such as hydroxyapatite. Materials like this can ultimately provide greater strengths ...

Functional analysis of conserved amino acid residues in the C-terminus of ACC synthase
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
Ethylene is an important plant hormone that regulates growth, development, and stress response. Synthesis of Ethylene from its immediate precursor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), is catalyzed by ACC oxidase. ...
Interaction of a heterodimerization partner with glucocorticoid receptor (GR), androgen receptor (AR) and GR/AR hybrids
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
Steroid hormones are a class of compounds that play a role in regulating many functions. Glucocorticoid hormone is a compound in this class, which helps maintain homeostasis, including regulation of production of γ-fibrinogen, ...
The effect of reduced chromatin gene expression on an epigenetically regulated maize gene
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
In virtually all eukaryotic organisms, not just plants, genes are regulated at the level of chromatin. In a genomics approach to understand how expression of a gene can be regulated by its chromatin configuration, a series ...
The intramolecular, stereoselective addition of sulfoximine carbanions to electron deficient alkenes
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
Chiral Benzothiazine play important roles in synthetic organic chemistry since they can be used in the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds. We have studied the synthesis of these species using the intramolecular, ...
