Validation of a Phencyclidine (PCP) Oral Fluid ELISA
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2021)The ability to accurately detect the abuse of narcotics is of great concern for public safety. However many tests have varying levels of sensitivity and precision; therefore, identifying the best method is of great ... -
Variation in Foraging Preferences by Bumble Bees Through Time with a Focus on Bombus affinis Conservation
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2018)Though bumble bees provide valuable pollination services, they are declining worldwide (Goulson, Lye and Darvill, 2008; Colla and Packer, 2008). Of these species, the rusty patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) was ... -
Vegetation and Tree Survey of a Brownfield Site Inhabited by Unhoused People in East Kalamazoo
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2021)From 1911 to the early 1970s, the Riverview Eastside Site (RES) was used as a coal ash disposal site for a coal-fired power plant. In 2002, over 100 thousand tons of coal ash were removed from the site and a 4-6 inch ... -
Verification and Characterization of Copine D Mutants in Dictyostelium
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2021)Isolate clonal populations of cpnD mutants and verify DNA insertions in the cpnD gene. Perform phenotypic assays to compare cpnD mutants to wildtype. -
Vital signs and recovery time in canines anesthetically induced via alfaxalone or propofol
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2018)Anesthesia allows for invasive surgical procedures to be less painful or not painful at all for the subject. Veterinarians must also consider administering pre-anesthetic medication to the patient to relieve pain or ... -
Voltage Dependence of the Cation-Nonselective TRP Channels
(Kalamazoo College, 2002)Named for the transient receptor potential channels in Drosophila visual transduction, TRP channels are ubiquitously expressed in virtually all animals. •TRPs are classified into three subtypes based on sequence ... -
Where will they go? : Cryptomonas erosa vertical distribution in a poorly mixed water column with nutrient and light gradients
(Kalamazoo College, 2007-04-27)In the water column of a lake, light and nutrients are inversely related; as light intensity decreases with increasing depth, nutrient supply increases. The spatial distribution of algae in the water column has ... -
Why the Book was Better: Adaption of Fiction in Three Media
(2009-05-06)I’ve been involved in creative writing since I was ten. Before I came to K, however, most of my work was based on my own personal exploration of the field. Much of my coursework outside of the Biology department has been ... -
Wnt3a treatment induces transcriptional upregulation of CTGF in HEK-293A and MCF7 cells
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2019)The Wnt signaling pathway and the Hippo signaling pathway play critical roles in cell fate determination and proliferation. An active Wnt pathway promotes cell growth and division, whereas an active Hippo pathway inhibits ... -
Women’s Professional Football
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2012)Since 2008 I have been involved with a women’s professional tackle football team called the West Michigan Mayhem. After being involved for two years and realizing just how much these women go through and how little recognition ... -

YopT resistance in mutant strains of S. cerevisiae
(2009-05-06)Yersinia spp. are gram-negative bacteria capable of interrupting immune system response by injecting Yersinia outer proteins (Yops). Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used as a model system for YopT infection due to its ... -
