Early Changes in the Striatum in a Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005)It has been observed that in patients with PO, the introduction or increase in stress levels corresponds with an increased rate of DA loss. The introduction of a stressor as simple as frustration caused by the disease ... -
Ecological Effects of Culverts on Stream Habitats in Van Buren County, MI
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2018)In this study, culverts, or road-stream crossing structures, were evaluated and inventoried in Van Buren County Michigan. Culverts were mapped using watersheds mapped in county plat books. Based off the maps, potential ... -
Economic Effects of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act in Urban America
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2012)During the course of my internship I came across many cases dealing with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), or more commonly known as Superfund. Each of these cases was ... -
Effect and Mechanism of AS2S2 on DNA Methylation of F-36P Cell Line Derived from Myelodysplastic Syndromes
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2019)We used MDS-derived F-36P cell to test the effect of the AS2S2 on DNA methylation. Furthermore, we used effect of the AS2S2 on DNA methylation of leukemia-derived HL-60 cells to compare with F-36P cells. Our hypothesis ... -
The Effect of a Stem I Substitution on the Cleavage Rate and Efficiency of a Minimal Hammerhead Ribozyme
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2015)Ribonucleic acid enzymes, or ribozymes, are RNA that is capable of catalyzing biochemical reactions. Hammerhead ribozymes were one of the earliest known classes of ribozymes, and are one of the best characterized. They are ... -
Effect of a Stem I Substitution on the Self-Cleavage Rate of a Hammerhead Ribozyme
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)Hammerhead ribozymes have been the focus of much research including therapeutics against cancer and viral infection. Hammerhead ribozymes are small self-cleaving RNAs characterized by a hammerhead motif – three short helices ... -
Effect of Amphibian Chytrid Fungus on the Size Distribution of Boreal Toads in Rocky Mountain National Park
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2022)Amphibians have unique physical characteristics that increase their susceptibility to environmental disturbances. Their permeable skin and ectothermic manner of thermoregulation coupled with pathogen exposure are contributing ... -
Effect of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Agents, Sex, Diabetes, and Blood Pressure on the decline in Glomerular Filtration Rate in ADPKD patients
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2019)Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common diseases requiring renal replacement therapy.. Using patient records, this study investigated how diabetes, blood pressure, sex, and use of ... -
The Effect of Ants on Membracid Nymph Growth Patterns: Size and Developmental Rate
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2008)The relationship between F. obscuripes and the membracid nymph is crucial to the survival of the nymphs because the nymphs (being much smaller and less mobile than adults) are more susceptible to predation. The presence ... -
Effect of Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum)on Soil Aggregate Stability and Suppression of Common Weed Varieties
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)Farmers and agricultural researchers have become increasingly interested in looking for more effective ways to reduce crop yield limitations. For the diversity of their functions, cover crops have been one area of focus. ... -
The Effect of COVID-19 and Food Insecurity on Children in Michigan
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2021)As Covid-19 continues to devastate the world, it highlights existing health disparities, especially in low-income families that already face inequities. More specifically, the pandemic has dramatically increased food ... -
Effect of Exogenous Leptin on the Body Weight of ob/ob and Leptin-Receptor Null Mice
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2015)Hunger and satiety are regulated by many different hormones and signals prominently involved in endocrine function, one of which is leptin. Leptin is encoded by the ob gene, while the leptin receptor is encoded by the db ... -
Effect of Forest Disturbance on Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds in Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus)
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)Processes that affect forest structure can impact the allocation of carbon within forest ecosystems, which has important implications for global climate change. A frequently overlooked aspect of carbon flux in forest ... -
Effect of Phytase Supplementation on Protein Digestibility in Horses at Maintenance
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)Protein requirements for horses have been widely established, however they can vary based on body condition, age, or activity of the individual horse. They can also vary with the quality of protein which is often determined ... -
The Effect of Rare and Novel Temperature Regimes on The Release of Cryptic Variation in The Fathead Minnow, Pimephales Promelas
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2018)Climate change has led to (and will continue to lead to) more pronounced temperature variation, exposing organisms to new extremes (IPCC 2013) The increase in extremes may ‘break’ previously canalized phenotypes, leading ... -
Effect of site-directed replacement mutations to channel-lining arginine in flagellin on protein transport and motility in Salmonella typhimurium
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2019)The bacterial flagellum is a highly conserved, autoassembling structure which enables motility. The flagellum consists of three parts: a basal body inside the cell, a hook structure, and an external flagellar filament, which ... -
Effect of Temperature Variation on Endurance Swimming Capacity of Juvenile White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus)
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2023)Due to life histories, white sturgeon (a globally threatened species) are exceptionally susceptible to the effects of watershed alterations (agricultural water diversions, hydroelectric dams, weirs, etc.). Fish use endurance ... -
