Que Bonita: A remarkable Story of Family, Structure, and Love
(2022-06-21)I aim to design with the allure of glamor and awe. The collection is inspired by my life experience at the intersection of the Catholic Church and Mexican culture. My ambition for the collection is to demonstrate that ... -
The Distribution of Autophagosomes is Altered by the Phospholipase A2 Inhibitor ONO-RS-082
(2022-01)When cells are starved of essential nutrients, autophagy, a process of self-digestion, is induced for cell survival. Previous studies in mammalian cells have shown that a structurally intact Golgi complex negatively regulates ... -
The Metal Requirements of Bacillus subtilis
(2021-12)Metal ions are essential for many biological processes across all domains of life. In Bacillus subtilis, they function as essential cofactors for enzymes, a component of biosensors for oxidative damage, in the assembly of ... -
Computational Modeling and Optimization Applied to Controlled Environment Agriculture Lighting Systems
(2021-11-09)Supplemental lighting is integral to year-round production of greenhouse crops; however, the location of lights within the greenhouse and its effects on lighting uniformity in the growing space is often not considered. ... -
Development and Characterization of Bioactive Polyethylene-Glycol-Polylactic-Acid Membranes for Colorimetric Glucose Sensing
(2021-04)Polyethylene glycol and polylactic acid bioactive membranes were developed for glucose sensor applications. Polylactic acid and polyethylene glycol were co-axially electrospun into a nonwoven, nanofibrous membrane composed ... -
CRISPRi Knockdown and Sequence Analysis of the BHIKHARI Family of Endogenous Retroviruses in Zebrafish
(2021-07)Transposable Elements (TEs) are mobile, selfish genes that have, in some cases, been shown to provide functions for the host. A poorly characterized family of LTR retrotransposons, BHIKHARI (bik), has unusual early ... -
Investigating the Diversity of Latex Metabolites in Species of the Euphorbia Genus
(2021-07)The Euphorbiaceae family is one of the largest angiosperm families with its largest genus Euphorbia, containing about 2000 species. This genus is characterized by the presence of laticifers and latex. Latex is a milky fluid ... -
A study on the effectiveness of different RNAi expression systems in arresting Drosophila melanogaster embryos during early development
(2021-07)The technique to arrest Drosophila melanogaster embryos at a specific developmental stage is desirable to various applications that require a population with relatively uniform amount of DNA. One example is to measure the ... -
Synthetic Cell-Penetrating Oligomers Deliver Antibiotics to Eradicate Intracellular Pathogens
(2021-07)Bacteria have evolved a myriad of strategies for evading a host’s immune system defenses. One strategy involves bacteria invading and hiding inside of macrophage cells, shielding themselves from the harmful effects of an ... -
Effects of increased mitochondrial DNA mutation on the macrophage response to Listeria monocytogenes
(2021-07)Mitochondria are important for cellular function, and as cells divide, their mitochondria also divide by replicating their DNA. The integrity of mitochondria DNA (mtDNA) replication, carried out by Polymerase G (PolG), is ...
