Kimber Albrechtsen and Dr. Leonard Tourney, English The objectives of my project were to identify and implement theoretical aspects of writing historical fiction, and to write the first four chapters of a historical novel. My creative text examined themes of the emergence of communism, the development of modern terrorism, and the complexity of family relationships. […]

Conversations in The South: Latin American Fiction And Rewriting Historical Reality in Three Novels
Bryce A. Suzuki and Dr. Dale J. Pratt, Spanish and Portuguese In his 1982 Nobel acceptance lecture, Gabriel García Márquez describes the plight of the Latin American artist as a “solitary” calling, seldom understood by those not living within the cultural framework that fuels the work: It is only natural that [the rest of the […]
THE SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL CHIRAL PYRIDINO CROWN ETHERS
Steven L. Castle, Department of Chemistry Introduction 0ur research group has been interested in the synthesis of chiral pyridino crown ethers for some time. Many chiral pyridino crown ethers have been shown to exhibit enantiomeric recognition for chiral ammonium salts.1 In other words, the crown compound forms a more stable complex with one enantlomer of […]
COALESCENCE EXTRACTION: A NOVEL MEANS OF PERFORMING SOLVENT EXTRACTIONS
Randall T. Peterson, Chemistry Solvent extraction is a widely used method of separation in which a given target substance is extracted from a mixture and transported across a liquid-liquid interface into a separate liquid. Typically, the two immiscible liquids are shaken or stirred vigorously to increase contact between the two liquids. This contact is vital […]
A Novel Human Angiotensin Ii Type 1 Receptor Isoform Elicits an Exaggerated Angiotensin Ii-induced Response
Terry S. Elton and Dr. James W. Ogilvie Jr., Biochemistry and Chemistry Hypertension (i.e., high blood pressure) is a significant health problem affecting more than 15% of the population contributing to the increased incidence of heart failure, kidney failure and stroke. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a pivotal role in salt and water homeostasis and […]
Preparation of Green Fluorescent Protein Constructs for the Determination of the Mechanism of the Excision of a Novel Intron
John Daniel Clinger and Dr. Daniel L. Simmons, Chemistry and Biochemistry Recent advances have greatly increased the utility of bioluminescence as a qualitative and quantitative tool in scientific research. The genes encoding fluorescent proteins in several organisms have been identified, cloned, modified, and inserted into several different vectors; thus allowing them to be used in […]
Identification of a Novel Positive Cis-acting Element in the First Intron of the Mouse Col11a2 Gene
Steven Alan Smith and Dr. Laura Bridgewater, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Three chondrocyte-specific enhancer elements were previously identified in the mouse type XI collagen gene, Col11a2 (1-3). Enhancer elements are base pair sequences of DNA to which proteins bind enhancing expression of a particular gene. One of these enhancers, called F/G, is located in the […]
God’s Youngest Son: A Novel of the Taiping Rebellion
Adam H. Greenwood and Dr. Chris Crowe, English The Taiping, a native Chinese Christian movement and rebellion in the 1850s and 1860s, had prophecy, polygamy, and wanted to set up God’s kingdom here on the earth. These positions earned them the opposition of China’s missionaries and colonial powers, not to mention that of their own […]
What I Meant to Say… My Experiment in Writing a First Novel
Olivia Debbie Birdsall and Dr. Louise Plummer, English I find it difficult to begin this report with a generalization about my topic of study, as most ORCA recipients do, because there is no generalization that seems appropriate for the subject of writing, or what my experience with it over the last year has been. Writing […]
A Novel Method for the Preparation of Sulfhydryl-Terminated Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold
Justin Gregory Peacock and Dr. Matthew R. Linford, Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction and Methods Self-assembled monolayers (SAM’s) on gold have been extensively studied during the past 20 years because of their use in biochemical surface recognition, as nanotechnological structures, as nano-chemical wires and circuits in electronics, as a means of creating patterned surfaces, as sensors […]
