An Examination of Nutrient Components of Athletes: Maximizing Performance
(Kalamazoo College, 2006-04-28)Diet plays an important role in athletic performance. There are many different types of athletic performances. Some such as weightlifting are based on strength, some such as tennis are based on fast, intense movement, ... -
An exploration of potential tonic ATP release pathways from the olfactory epithelium of mice
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)This project set out to determine the mechanism by which ATP is released into the extracellular environment from mouse olfactory epithelium (OE) under normal, tonic conditions. ATP acts within the OE as a local signaling ... -
Exploring Differences in Fear Conditioning in PTSD
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2015)In order to study potential dysfunction in the fear conditioning process that could lead some to develop PTSD after a traumatic experience, physiological fear was assessed through measurement of the skin conductance responses ... -
Exposure to Toxic Chemicals Affects Cytochrome P450 Transcript Expression in Early Development in Two Teleost Fish, Killifish and Zebrafish
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2012)SyntheQc chemicals with biological acQvity, many of which can adversely affect the health of marine organisms, are present in the world’s oceans. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been link ... -
Expression of Mutant Epitope-Tagged TACE Constructs in TACE Knockout Fibroblasts and the Importance of TACE Cytoplasmic Domain in PKC-Mediated Phosphorylation
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is its most common form of dementia affecting the elderly population. It is speculated that one of the essential upstream mediators of AD is the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ)-containing plaques ... -
Factors Influencing Human Masticatory Performance
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2016)Mastication is a highly complex and integrative chewing process that is performed by humans and other mammals at a consistent and involuntary rate. Proper mastication is critical for swallowing, ease of digestion, and ... -
Fatherhood Programs and Black Infant Mortality
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2018)If maternal and infant/children’s health is an indicator of a nation’s progress and development in healthcare, then infant mortality rate (IMR) is a critical statistic in that evaluation, defined as the death of an ... -
Flying Away: live mixing and creating the sound design for The Musical Fun Home
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2018)Throughout High School I was always interested in sound design. I had worked on multiple performances during my four years at The Roeper School, gaining a deeper understanding of how to create a realistic space ... -
Forbaceous Plants as a Potential Feedstock for Cellulosic Ethanol Production
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the United States has moved to produce transportation fuel from biomass instead of petroleum. Choosing the best source of this biomass is a decision involving many factors. ... -
From Large to Small to Large: Phylogenetic Systematics of Rotulid “Sand Dollars” and their Tiny Relatives
(Kalamazoo College, 2006-04-28)The Clypeasteroida (sand dollars and allies) comprises three clades: Clypeasterina, Laganina, and Scutellina (true sand dollars). The diverse Laganina contains taxa that vary greatly in size, from the large, sand ... -
Function of the TAD/PEST Domain of the Mouse Notch1 and Notch4 Genes
(Kalamazoo College, 2002)The Notch gene is highly conserved and found in most, if not all metazoans. The primary function of Notch proteins is to determine cellular fate during embryogenesis, but Notch plays a vital role in adult organisms as ... -
Functional Characterization of the Streptococcal CpsA Protein in Streptococcus agalactiae
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2012)Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) is a streptococcal pathogen. GBS is capable of causing systemic disease by utilizing a number of strategies for survival in the host. The most important survival strategy in GBS is the ... -
Functional Homology in Teleost and Mammalian Epidermal Morphogenesis
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2010-04)The epidermis is a stratified epithelium that makes up the outermost component of the skin. During embryogenesis, this portion of the skin undergoes a complex series of transformations to reach a mature state and provide ... -
Functionality of Hyperspectral Measurements in Vegetation Analysis: Comparison of Remote Sensing to Traditional Methods in the Alaskan Arctic
(Kalamazoo College, 2002-05-03)Understanding the plant community is vital in grasping the effects of climate change. Functional type, which divides vegetation into vascular plants, lichens, and mosses, aids in this understanding by representing ... -
