The Effects of Environmental Enrichment on the Ability of Octopus rubescens to Learn Novel Behavior
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)Environmental enrichment provides captive animals complex inanimate and social stimuli in order to promote the animals' welfare and natural behavior. The application of enrichment has become commonplace for many animals ... -
Purification of a Bacteriocin-like Inhibitor Produced by Enterococcus faecium strain 62-6 Antagonistic to the Growth of Vaginal Lactobacilli: Potential Significance for the Pathogenesis of Bacterial Vaginosis
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a polymicrobial syndrome characterized by a shift in the ecology of the vaginal tract, and reflected by an alteration in the micro flora. During BV, Lactobacillus populations that are generally ... -
The Characterization and Development of Electrophysiological Pharmacology Assays Testing for Potential QT Prolongation
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)A number of drugs with cardiac and non-cardiac targets have been implicated in cases of "torsades de pointes" (T dP), a potentially fatal arrhythmia. One of the factors in the development of this anomaly is a disruption ... -
The Importance of Cell Migration inInnate Immunity: Characterization of the BCL-6 -/- BMM Phenotype and of the PBM-Derived Macrophage Phenotype Associated with a Novel Immunodeficiency
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)Immunity encapsulates two distinct, albeit functionally interdependent, components-innate immunity and acquired immunity. The characteristic specificity of acquired immune components results in a delayed response during ... -
Protective Effects of Grape Seed Proanthocyanidin Extract IH636 against Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury in HL-I Cardiomyocytes
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)Given the current prevalence of cardiovascular disease, seeking forms of protection against myocardial injury is of significant importance. Grape seed extract poses a potential solution to this dilemma since it is a ... -
Use of Continuous Culture to Model the Establishment of Bacterial Vaginosis
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal tract infection among women of childbearing age seen in primary health care in the United States. BV is a polymicrobial syndrome characterized by an alteration in the ... -
Depression of a Coccinellid Functional Response to an Aphid by Sequestered Plant Chemical Defenses
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)The three trophic levels of plants, herbivores, and predators have complex effects on one another. Both "bottom/up" processes generated by plant chemical defenses and "top/down" effects mediated by predator foraging behaviors ... -
Population Study of Eastern Box Turtles, Terrapene carolina, at Fort Custer, Michigan
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)The Eastern box turtle, Terrapene carolina, has become rare or absent in recent years from much of its former range and is considered a species of special concern in the state of Michigan. This study investigated the ... -
Binding Analysis of the SRC-SH2 Employing a Robotic Spotting Technique and Preliminary SH2 Database Information
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)Cell signaling is largely accomplished through proteins interacting in a regulated manner to produce a coherent output that controls cellular behavior. When cell signaling goes awry, it results in a plethora of disease ... -
An Investigation of Differential Expression of Transcription Factors in Embryonic Chelydra serpentina, a Turtle with Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)Temperature dependent sex determination (TSD) is common in many reptile species, but is a process for which a proximate mechanism is unknown. We hypothesized that TSD in Chelydra serpentina, the snapping turtle, is a ...
