Relating N and P uptake to metabolism and community structure at different substrata in Augusta Creek, MI
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)Studies have gone to great lengths to explain differences in nutrient uptake rates observed among different streams, while fewer have attempted to explain variations in nutrient uptake seen within a single stream. In order ... -
The relation of fundamental abiotic factors on spawning behavior of the Horseshoe Crab, Limulus polyphemus.
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2008)Spawning activity of a species can be a good indicator of the progress and direction that the population is heading. Optimal conditions for spawning activity are, at this time, unknown for the horseshoe crab, L. polyphemus. ... -

(Kalamazoo College, 2004)Hepatitis C is a liver disease that is caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). In the majority of cases (about 85%), the infections become chronic and slowly damage the liver over many years (Wang & Eckels 1999). Over ... -
The Relationship Between Periodontal Disease and Diabetes Mellitus
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2012)Long-term diabetics have a higher degree of periodontal bone and tissue loss. Diabetes causes a change in periodontal tissue by destruction of periodontal tissue fiber arrangement and a more aggressive pattern of bone ... -
The Relationships Between Fit and Form in Wheel Thrown Ceramic Pieces
(Kalamazoo College, 2004)In making ceramic pieces, I have found that I am drawn toward creating functional work and that I particularly like lidded pieces for the specific relationship between the lid and the body of the piece. I have also ... -
Relative Quantification of Interleukin-6 Gene Expression in Tissues of Mice Treated with Lipopolysaccharide Using Real Time PCR
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2010-04)Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an endotoxin in the outer membrane of pathogenic gram-negative bacteria. LPS binds to the CD14/TLR2/MD2 cell surface receptor complex on macrophages which results in gene regulation and cytokine ... -
