Effects of Media-type and a MAP Kinase on Caenorhabditis elegans Lifespan and Ability to Regulate Intestinal Colonization by Bacterial Strains From its Native Environment
(Kalamazoo College, 2015)Innate immunity research has utilized the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans for the past several decades. The elucidation of conserved components of innate immunity in C. elegans has advanced our understanding of immune ... -
The Effects of a Locally Made Pineapple and Papaya Herbicide on Weeds and Soil Health
(Kalamazoo College, 2015)Herbicides are the predominant method used to control weeds in agricultural fields, and are also incorporated into sustainable weed control plans, such as Integrated Weed Management. There are rising concerns about these ... -
Propagation of the Satyrodes eurydice and Satyrode appalachia as Surrogates for the Endangered Neonympha mitchelli mitchelli.
(Kalamazoo College, 2015)Because of anthropogenic changes to the Earth's landscape, species richness has been negatively impacted (Houlahan & Findlay, 1997, Gurd et al. 2001). The largest cause for a decrease in species richness is habitat loss, ... -
Investigation of the Rearrangement of Organic Macrocycle N,N'-dimethyltribenzo-l ,4,7- triazacyclononane to 5,9-dimethyl-5,9- dihydroquinoxalino-[3,2, l-de]phenazine Cation Radical by Copper(II) Oxidation
(Kalamazoo College, 2015)The goal of this project was to extend the results from previous studies, as well as produce and characterize the 5,9-dimethyl-5,9-dihydroquinoxalino-[3,2,l-de] phenazine cation radical formed by Ross Beattie (2010), as ... -
Building a Better Biofuel: Discovering Physiological Differences Between Switchgrass Varieties
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)As demand increases due to the non-renewable nature of the energy sources we use, fuel and energy are becoming ever more important to society in the USA. Renewable forms have risen in recent years such as ethanol made from ... -
