(Kalamazoo College, 2005)Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects I in 3200 live births. Among many health problems, genetic mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) cause lung disease. ... -
Light Availability Analysis of 24 Southwest Michigan Wetlands
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)Wetland plant distribution is commonly thought to be determined by multiple limiting gradients, particularly pH and nutrient availability. However, Thobaben (2004) found that variation in southwest Michigan wetland plant ... -
PURIFICATION AND PARTIAL CHARICTERIZATION OF 2H4 MONOCLONLAL ANTIBODY SENSITIVE TO Aβl-42 OLIGOMERS
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an insidious dementia for which there is presently no effective treatment. AD is caused by the buildup of soluble oligomers of the protein Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an insidious dementia for ... -
The Bluegill Sunfish (Lepomis Macrochirus) Affects Successful Insect Colonization Through Predation and Competition
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)The effects of the bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) on insect colonization trends were investigated regarding insect abundance and genus richness in artificial ponds. Four treatments were established in plastic ... -
Parasite-mediated competition between BurcheU's zebras and an endangered population of Grevy's zebras in two different regions of Kenya
(Kalamazoo College, 2005)Three different species of zebra are found on the continent of Africa. Of these three species, two are found in Kenya and only one is endangered. This endangered species is called Grevy's zebra. There are many reasons ... -
