A Shift in Feeding Behavior from the Juvenile to Adult in the Giant Acorn Barnacle Balanus Nubilus Darwin with Observations on the Develepental Time Course of Larvae
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)Barnacles exhibit diversified forms of cirral fan behavior in food filtering and respiration. The repertoire of cirral fan behaviors for adults of a number of species has been associated with their physiology, ecology, ... -
Construction of Lentiviral Vectors Coding for Mutant and Wild Type α-Synuclein
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the world and is clinically characterized by motor control problems. These problems are a result of dopaminergic neuron loss in the brain's ... -
T cell Differentiation within an Innovative Three-Dimensional Collagen Matrix
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)The vertebrate immune system is comprised of two branches: humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity. A key coordinator of these immune responses is the T helper cell. Upon activation a T helper cell can differentiate ... -
Investigation of FMRFamide and SCP as targets for the Juvenile Hormone Nuclear Receptor
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)Studies of insect development have played a key role in our current understanding of the neuroendocrine system of both insects and vertebrates. Mutations in the Drosophila melanogaster gene apterous (ap) result in a ... -
Studying Evolutionary Constraints on an Invariant Floral Trait in Wild Radish Raphanus raphanistrum
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)Traits that appear to be fixed either in a population or across taxa must be maintained by some mechanism. In the plant Raphanus raphanistrum, the trait of zero anther exsertion, which is a high correlation between ... -
Functionality of Hyperspectral Measurements in Vegetation Analysis: Comparison of Remote Sensing to Traditional Methods in the Alaskan Arctic
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)This paper examines data collection through traditional methods as compared to remote sensing for the purposes of vegetation analysis in a coastal wet-sedge ecosystem in Barrow, Alaska. Vegetation mapping of a 100 ... -
Effects of Mercury on Ras/MAP Kinase Signaling in T Cells
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)A major task of the immune system is to distinguish self from non-self. Usually the self-reacting cells die by apoptosis before they mature, however, failure of this process results in autoimmune abnormalities. The ... -
The Hydraulic Design of Mesomorphic Tree Leaves: Hydraulic Resistance, Anatomical Correlates, and the Effects of Damaging Venation
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)The leaf hydraulic design of sun and shade leaves was investigated for several species of trees at the Harvard Forest in Petersham, MA. Leaf feature measured included leaf hydraulic resistance and stomatal density, and ... -
Isolation and Characterization of Inhibitor(s) Produced by Vaginal Streptococcus spp. with Bacteriocin-Like Inhibitory Activity against Vaginal Lactobacillus spp., Which May Be Associated With Bacterial Vaginosis Development in the Vagina
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)Development of the vaginal syndrome bacterial vaginosis is characterized by an alteration in vaginal microflora, which includes the decline in the Lactobacillus population that are generally dominant in the vagina. ... -
Studies on the Expressions of Caenorhabditis elegans K+ Channels and nACh Receptors in Xenopus oocytes
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)The effectiveness of drugs used to treat diseases caused by gastrointestinal nematodes has diminished due to the proliferation of strains resistant to the currently marketed anthelmintics. Oxindole alkaloid compounds ...
