RHD results in decreased profitability for the animal agriculturists and higher prices for […]
Walking stick (Insect: Phasmida) Phylogeny and the Evolution of Insect Flight Based on Molecular Data
Taylor J. Maxwell and Dr. Michael F. Whiting, Zoology The evolution and development of wings and flight has fascinated scientists for decades. From our research we happened upon an exciting discovery concerning flight in the phylogeny of walking sticks. A basic phylogeny was to be reconstructed from molecular data with the purpose of understanding the […]

As a response to these problems, this thesis […]
Distribution and Regulation of Na,K-Atpase in Ocular Lens
Adam L. Lunceford and Dr. Steven W. Graves, Chemistry and Biochemistry The Na,K-ATPase is a membrane-bound enzyme found in all cells. This enzyme is composed of an a subunit, which is responsible for the enzyme’s catalytic activity, and a b subunit, which assists in the binding of ions. The three main isoforms of the a […]
