Characterizing the Arabidopsis frd3 mutant through an activation tagging screen [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
and store iron is needed before this goal can be achieved. The Arabidopsis frd3 mutant constitutively activates its iron uptake mechanisms, resulting in an over accumulation of iron and other metals. However iron is mislocalized and never enters leaf cells...
Forgotten: Support for minority students on the MU campus [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
-western university was cited in 2006 as receiving a 'D' on an 'A-F' scale, by a non-for profit national organization. This grade reflects the degree to which minority students are supported on this particular campus. This research focused on Latino students...
Nitrate reducing commensal bacterium stimulates germination through nitric oxide production-a hypothesis [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The pink-pigmented (PPFM) commensal bacterium bacterium, Methylobacterium extorquens AM1, stimulates germination of soybean and other plants. I am testing the hypothesis that germination is stimulated by bacterial-produced ...
Effects of cold joints in blast resistant structural concrete [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
With the rising concern of terrorist activity around the globe today, blast resistant design is becoming a necessity. Stay-in-place formed concrete is becoming a popular building technique, as this technology has exhibited ...
A potential role for programed cell death in the formation of an in vitro neural stem cell niche [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Stem cell therapies have the potential to help manage diseases that are currently untreatable, such as Batten Disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease of childhood. One proposed therapeutic intervention is the ...
Lung tissue expression of angiotensinogen in ren-2 rats [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rapidly progressive disease that results in death. PH is characterized by increased vascular resistance, vascular remodeling, and right ventricular hypertrophy. Increased levels of ANG II ...
Wine-cap stropharia: A new mushroom for Missouri mycophiles and agroforestry [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
inoculated with Stropharia spawn. The beds were set up on a northwest-facing, hardwood-shaded slope at the Horticulture and Agroforestry Research Center outside New Franklin, Missouri. We tested the effects of three variables on Stropharia production...
Finite element modeling of the intervertebral disc [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The objective is to create an accurate finite element model of the intervertebral disc. Major deficiencies in current models are due to oversimplifications in regards to geometry and material properties. My task is to ...
Testing the neural locus of affective priming effects [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Research has consistently shown that participants are faster to categorize the valence (positivity or negativity) of an affective target when it is preceded by a stimulus (prime) that shares its valence compared to one that is opposite in valence...
Effect of Salmonella typhimurium on human cancer line tumors in mice [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Research of bacteria-driven degeneration of tumor cells, initially pioneered by Dr William Coley in 1893 using heat-killed mixtures of streptococci, has led to the scrutiny of the enterobacteria species Salmonella typhimurium on various cancer lines...
Externally advised real estate investment trusts [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
for more than one REIT. On average over the last 30 years, REITs that use external advisors have performed 6% worse per year, compared to REITs with internal advisors. In my research I examined the idea that compensation schemes change depending on the type...
Reconstituting the Cvt pathway in pichia pastoris [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
In yeast, autophagy is primarily a response to nutritional stress in which the cell sacrifices some of its cytoplasm and organelles in order to survive. Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains a specialized pathway for the ...
Effects of maternal diet on offspring in terms of behavior and overall health [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
that the mothers diet is what is tested. The mazes ran in September 2007 showed N-3 and N-6 offspring spent less time (P≤0.02) in the open arms of the elevated maze than the 5015 offspring. In the open field test in May 2007, N-6 females traveled less distance than...
