Jeremy Johnson and Dr. Eric Sevy, Chemistry and Biochemistry When chemical reactions take place, energy is transferred between the different atoms and molecules as they collide. The energy transfer in these collisions is the rate-limiting step of reactions. Therefore, to be able to accurately model reactions we need a good understanding of how energy is […]

A Study of Collisional Energy Transfer as a Function of Vibrational Frequency Using Isotopically Substituted Benzene Molecules
Andrew Duffin and Dr. Eric Sevy, Chemistry and Biochemistry Gas phase atoms and molecules constantly exchange energy in collisions. These energy transfer events are the rate limiting processes in reactions that are important for understanding atmospheric and combustion chemistry. While a great deal is known about collisional energy transfer, there is no good theory for […]
Engineering Small Molecule-Dependent Tools for the Study of Protein Function In Vivo
Jonathan Dewey and Dr. Allen R. Buskirk, Chemistry and Biochemistry Analyzing the function of newly discovered genes and the proteins that they encode is crucial to the advancement of genetics, cell and molecular biology, and medicine. Scientists have implemented various methods to study individual proteins within a cell, including genetic and small-molecule dependent approaches. Our […]
Hypothermia-Induced Platelet Aggregation and Fibrinogen Functionality
Adam Broderick and Dr. Ken Solen, Chemical Engineering Hypothermia-Induced Platelet Aggregation (HIPA) may pose a significant risk for patients undergoing some surgical procedures. During heart surgery, a patient’s core temperature is typically lowered to reduce tissue damage. Hall et al. (2002) observed that this caused blood platelet aggregation in ~30% of test subjects1 and increases […]
Understanding Loss of Motivation (Desire to Succeed) as a Function of Identifiable Incidents in College Student Academic Experience
Devin Soelberg and Professor W. Kerry Hammock, University Advisement Center The level of motivation in students of collegiate studies varies drastically and affects both campus life and the ultimate success of any institute of higher education. Academic motivation is defined as the desire one has to succeed in academic pursuits. This project attempts to conclude whether […]
Influence of Quantization on Psychometric Function Slope and Performance for Speech Audiometry Materials
Jessica Goates and Dr. Richard W. Harris, Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Routine audiological assessments include pure-tone thresholds and assessment of the patient’s ability to perceive speech. The performance of speech audiometry materials is very important for determining how well a patient can hear speech. Our research was designed to determine if using different speech audiometry […]
Determination and Analysis of the Functionality and Required Amino Acid Residues of PhoU in Escherichia coli
Michael Schurdell and Dr. William McCleary, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology While researching the required amino acid residues of PhoU, we discovered a small intergenic region located between pstA and pstB on the pstSCAB-phoU operon. Defining the role of this small intergenic region took precedence over my previously proposed research project. All of my […]
Distribution of Health Care Services and Access as a Function of Population in Southeast Alaska
Valerie Strasburger and Professor Stephanie Fugal, Health Science The majority of health disparities in Alaska are related to reliable and affordable access to health care. This is particularly relevant to the communities in southeast Alaska (SEAK) because many of them are isolated island communities. The purpose of my research was to determine the areas in SEAK […]
Alleged Rape Perception and Function of Ambivalent Sexism
Adriane Queiroz and Dr. Niwako Yamawaki, Psychology The purpose of this study was to discover how a perceived power difference between rape victim and perpetrator influence external observers’ rape perception, or more specifically, to investigate the effects of a rapist’s power status on rape perceptions, such as minimization of the seriousness of rape, blaming victim, […]
INVESTIGATE THE FUNCTION OF THE 5′ LEADER IN THE HUMAN AT1 ANGIOTENSIN RECEPTOR
Erik J. Petersen and Dr. Terry S. Elton, Chemistry and Biochemistry A comparison of several published hAT1R cDNA sequences revealed that, although these clones shared an identical open reading frame, they differed in portions of their 5′-UTRs.1 Therefore these data suggest that alternative splicing events combine various 5′-UTR exons with the exon that harbors the […]
