Serotonin Receptor Antagonist Has a Neuroprotective Effect in a C. elegans Neurodegenerative Model
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2022)Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the progressive and abnormal death of neurons. Glutamate excitotoxicity is known to be a common mechanism leading to neuronal death in many neurodegenerative diseases. ... -
A Shift In Feeding Behavior From The Juvenile To Adult In The Giant Acorn Barnacle Balanus nubilus Darwin With Observations On The Developmental Time Course Of Larvae.
(Kalamazoo College, 2002)Barnacles exhibit diverse cirral behaviors during feeding with the repertoire of cirral fan behaviors of species associated with their physiology, ecology, and phylogeny. However, feeding behaviors of juveniles has not ... -
The Short-Term Effects of Strawberries on Postprandial Insulin Responses
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2014)• The postprandial state is characterized by increased oxidative stress and inflammation from metabolism and storage of macronutrients. • Oxidative stress alters the redox balance of cells, decreasing insulin efficiency ... -
Short-term variation in temperature and precipitation is not correlated with MiCorpsaquatic macroinvertebrate scores
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2019)Watersheds provide many important ecological services. Some such services include water purification, flood mitigation, water retention, and nourishing the flora and fauna that make their home there. Watersheds are integral ... -
Signal peptide region of SAA1: misfolding propensity in different animal species
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2022)In AA amyloidosis, fibrils are formed from the misfolding of fragmented serum amyloid A (SAA) protein. These fibrils aggregate in tissues, causing diseases such as Alzheimer’s, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid ... -
Silent Thoughts Out Loud
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2017)Anorexia is the 3rd most common chronic illness among adolescents. 20 percent of people who chronically suffer from anorexia prematurely die from complications related to their eating disorder. Only 1 in 10 people with ... -
Silver, Gold, and Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles Functionalized with Ampicillin against Various Bacterial Strains
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)Antibiotic resistant bacteria present a difficult challenge for the health care industry and society. Developing new antibiotics and antibiotic strategies is an increasingly present need. Nanoparticles have the potential ... -
The Social Organization and Potential Mating Bonds Observed of a Captive Non-Breeding Flock of Caribbean Flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber ruber)
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)Caribbean Flamingos are seasonally monogamous, but do not readily reproduce in captivity and exhibit finicky flock behavior. Creating a self-sustainable population in captivity is essential for the conservation of ... -
Soil microbial function and community composition responses to winter legume cover crop under high tunnel pepper production
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2017)High tunnel use on the rise. Intensive cropping under high tunnel environment may lead to soil degradation. Winter legume cover crops have been widely adopted in organic system as soil amendments. Soil microbes are integral ... -
Soil Nutrient Management in High Tunnel Organic Tomato Production
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)High tunnels provide the opportunity for producers to extend the growing season later into the fall, and begin the season earlier in the spring by trapping heat. The environment inside of the structure is distinctly different ... -
Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Carabid Beetle Assemblages in Winter Wheat factor into their Potentail as Biocontrol Agents
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2012)Biological control is a widely available method of additional or alternative pest control which utilizes natural enemies to control crop pests. For successful control of grain aphids in wheat, predation during the early ... -
Spatial and temporal variation in age distribution and growth of Lake Michigan burbot, Lota lota lacustris, and potential effects of climate change
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)Lake ecosystems contain interacting, ever-changing habitats and organisms controlled by biological, physical, and chemical processes. Exotic species introductions have dramatically changed the Great Lakes fish communities ... -
Steroid hormone regulation of PIK3IP1, a known suppressor of PI3K induced cell division and survival, in the mouse uterus
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2018)Steroid hormones are essential regulators of uterine function. AT-rich interaction domain 1A protein (ARID1A) plays an important role in steroid hormone signaling in endometrial function and pregnancy. Phosphatidylino ... -
Strategies for Population Control of Bighead (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and Silver Carp (H. molitrix): A Market-Based Approach
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2019)Invasive species, as defined by the Invasive Species Advisory Committee of the US government, are “an alien (or non-native) species whose introduction does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm ... -
A Study of Periodontal Disease in Domestic Canines
(Kalamazoo College, 2007-04-27)Periodontal disease, a destructive combination of periodontitis and gingivitis, is the most common oral disease affecting domestic canines today. Dogs of all ages, breeds, and genders are susceptible to periodontal disease, ... -
A study of the efficacy of curcumin based drugs for the treatment of Glioblastoma
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2018)The purpose this study was to test the efficacy of Curcumin- CD and Curcumin-CD-F127, two synthesized drugs that were designed to make curcumin water soluble. Using an MTT Assay, Curcumin-CD and Curcumin-CD-F127 ... -
Study of the pregnane X receptor in the non-mammalian vertebrate species Danio rerio: polychlorinated biphenyl activation and cytochrome P450 regulation
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2014)The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a nuclear receptor transcription factor that regulates genes primarily involved in xenobiotic and endogenous chemical disposition and metabolism. A cluster of cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes ... -
A Study on Ecosystem Health of Kalamazoo via Bird and Arthropod Populations
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2021)In this study I looked at the population of arthropods, as well as their avian predators using data downloaded from the Caterpillars Count! and eBird citizen science projects. I used a one way ANOVA to determine if the ... -
Studying evolutionary constraints on an invariant floral trait in Wild Radish Raphanus raphanistrum
(Kalamazoo College, 2002)Traits that are conserved through time and location are considered invariant characters. In the flowering world, these floral traits are useful in classifying plants. Little is known about the mechanisms that maintain ... -
