Propagation of the Satyrodes eurydice and Satyrode appalachia as Surrogates for the Endangered Neonympha mitchelli mitchelli.
(Kalamazoo College, 2015)Because of anthropogenic changes to the Earth's landscape, species richness has been negatively impacted (Houlahan & Findlay, 1997, Gurd et al. 2001). The largest cause for a decrease in species richness is habitat loss, ... -
Investigation of the Rearrangement of Organic Macrocycle N,N'-dimethyltribenzo-l ,4,7- triazacyclononane to 5,9-dimethyl-5,9- dihydroquinoxalino-[3,2, l-de]phenazine Cation Radical by Copper(II) Oxidation
(Kalamazoo College, 2015)The goal of this project was to extend the results from previous studies, as well as produce and characterize the 5,9-dimethyl-5,9-dihydroquinoxalino-[3,2,l-de] phenazine cation radical formed by Ross Beattie (2010), as ... -
Building a Better Biofuel: Discovering Physiological Differences Between Switchgrass Varieties
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)As demand increases due to the non-renewable nature of the energy sources we use, fuel and energy are becoming ever more important to society in the USA. Renewable forms have risen in recent years such as ethanol made from ... -
Oxycodone Dosing Methods
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)Presently physicians dose medications for patients based on a range they get from the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR). By dosing a medication this way, the physician does not take into account individual patient's metabolic ... -
Detectable Diversity in Serratia and Pseudomonas Strains Found in a Local Environment
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)Eighteen S. marcescens, S. nematodiphila, and P. chiororaphis strains were isolated from a 5m x 5m plot of soil on Michigan State University's campus on Pseudomonas Isolation Agar. These strains were all found in one local ... -
Isotopic Composition of Crassostrea Virginica Shells as Indicator of the Effects of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)Through sclerochronological methods, this study examined the effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on C. virginica specimens. Oysters are principal benthic filter feeders that effectively bioaccumulate substances, ... -
Analysis of Fecal Temperature and Feeding Behavior on the Gastrointestinal Nematode Egg Density in the Feces of Captive African Antelope
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)Conservation programs have become essential tools in the maintenance of biodiversity. In response to declining animal populations driven by physical landscape and climate pattern disruptions, wildlife organizations have ... -
Enzyme Functional Evolution of Single Amino Acids in Beta Genus (Sugar Beet) Promotes Multiple Differential Specialized Enzymes
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)Beta vulgaris (sugar beet) has been selectively cultivated for hundreds of years to produce traits such as increased sucrose production and more effective disease resistance. In order to cultivate sugar beets more effectively, ... -
Lack of Hydroxyproline O-Arabinosyltransferases Does Not Cause Over Deposition of Cellulose in the Moss Physcomitrella patens
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)The plant cell wall is a highly dynamic structure necessary for structural stability in the plant cell. Hydroxyproline O-Arabinosyltransferase (hpat) are genes which code for the proteins responsible for the arabinosylation ... -
In vitro Dose Assessment of Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Chemotactic Factors for Enhanced Musculoskeletal Tissue Regeneration
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)Regenerative medicine is a growing field that utilizes mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to repair damaged tissues. When induced, MSCs will migrate from tissues like bone marrow (BM)to sites of injury. Proteins known as ... -
