Cytosine ß-D-Arabinofuranoside Drug Sensitivity in Down Syndrome Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2008)Down syndrome (DS) individuals have an increased risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at a young age. A remarkable feature of DS AML is the high event free survival (EFS) rate in comparison to non-DS ... -
DC-SIGN Carbohydrate Recognition Domain (CRD) Determinants Responsible for HIV-1 Binding
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2009)HIV belongs to genus Lentivirus. HIV spread through sexual contact, blood, and mother to child. Virus interior is composed of two single-stranded RNA. Reverse transcriptase is key enzyme used to incorporate virus ... -
Decreased ATPase Activity and Increased Calcium Sensitivity in Myofibrils with E180G α-Tropomyosin Missense Mutation
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2014)Heart disease is a common affliction that affects the quality of life and is the leading cause of death in the US. Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC), which affects 1 in 5000 individuals, is caused by several ... -
Decreased Effective Connectivity of the SMA in Children with ADHD: A fMRI Study of Simple Finger Tapping Tasks
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2012)ADHD is one of the most common neurological developmental disorders affecting approximately 3-5% of school-aged children globally. ADHD has been associated with neuropsychological deficits in inhibitory functions and brain ... -
Demographic Predictors and Child Health Outcomes of Unplanned Pregnancy in a Mid-Michigan Cohort
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)Unplanned pregnancy: a pregnancy that is either mistimed or unwanted1 Approximately 6.7 million pregnancies in the U.S. per year, an average 49% of them are unplanned2,3 The average U.S. woman spends on average, five ... -
Demonstrating Immunocompetency in Nude Mice
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2019)This study aims to show that athymic nude mice can be made immunocompetent by purifying spleen cells from BALB/c mice, and injecting them into the nude mice. Successfully demonstrating this result is important, because ... -
Density Independent Gall Dispersion in a Willow Complex
(Kalamazoo College, 2004)Galls are complex plant-parasite interactions in which plants encapsulate and house the attacker, providing food and shelter space in a structure called a gall (Mani, 1992). Plant galls are common and widespread and can ... -
Density-mediated responses of two stored products insects to host food and pheromonal stimuli
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2019)The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact that density has on the behavioral response of T. casteneum and R. dominica to food cues. Our hypothesis was that beetles reared at higher densities would become insensitive ... -
Depression of a Coccinellid Functional Response to an Aphid by Sequestered Plant Chemical Defenses
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005-04-29)Blaauw investigated whether A. nerii feeding from constantly high aphid densities on Asclepias curassavica milkweed with high concentrations of cardenolides are better defended against coccinellid predator foraging than a ... -
Design and Preliminary Assembly of Custom TALEN Constructs for DNA Targeting of Sphinx 1/2, a Drosophila serine protease homologue
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2014)Upon microbial infection, Drosophila melanogaster initiates different signaling pathways to induce immune effector molecules. One such effector molecule, the antimicrobial peptide (AMP), is synthesized upon microbial ... -
Design and Synthesis of 7-Hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)chromones as Non-Nitrogenous 5-HT2 Receptor Ligands
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2018)Chromones are non-amine natural compounds. Identified by benzoannelated y-pyrone core. Name originates from Greek word chroma, which means color. 2-(2-phenylethyl) chromones (2-PEC,2) were first isolated in1978. 2-PECs ... -
Detectable Diversity in Serratia and Pseudomonas Strains Found in a Local Environment
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2016)Serratia and Pseudomonas strains in soil add to the large microbiome of its environment. Serratia and Pseudomonas in particular can contribute to their environment by purifying and cleaning toxins out of the soil they ... -
Detection of Toxicity with an Application of a Phosphorescent Oxygen Probe, Luxcel A65N, for an Assay System Screening Cellular Respiration
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005-04-29)Due to the changing paradigm of drug testing, from in vivo to in vitro testing, new methods and assays are being investigated and developed to make more accurate and sensitive assays. When developing new assays, an important ... -
Determination and Quantitation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Spice Matrices via GC/MS
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2017)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a broad class of organic compounds characterized by two or more fused, aromatic ring structures. Many of these compounds have carcinogenic and mutagenic effects making them highly ... -
Determination of in vitro Markers of Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cells Following Chemical Treatments
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)There are five types of breast cancer. Triple-positive breast cancer is positive for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor (HER2), and is responsive to chemical compounds. ... -
Determination of Telomeric Protein Interaction Binding Sites Between Amino Acids 58-268 of TRF1 and 224-276 of TIN2 and Between Amino Acids 42-245 of TRF2 and 203-361 of TIN2
