Decomposing the Humanities
S Connor
Feb 07, 2017
Drawing deeply from the example of Michel Serres, Bruno Latour’s work represents a critique of the commitment to critique which has become the dominant mode of much work in the humanities. Latour’s An Inquiry into Modes of...

Towards the Homotopy Type of the Morse Complex
Connor Donovan
Jan 01, 0001
Mathematicians have long been interested in studying the properties of simplicial complexes. In 1998, Robin Forman developed gradient vector fields as a tool to study these complexes. Having gradient vector fields to study these...

Characterizing the Interaction of MAGUK Scaffold Protein PSD-95 With Synaptic Adhesion Protein Slitrk2
Connor Loomis
Jan 01, 0001
In the developing nervous system, synapse formation is crucial to establish proper brain wiring and therefore function. At synapses, several pre- and postsynaptic adhesion proteins are expressed to coordinate synapse formation....

Communicating Climate to Ourselves and Others
Connor Bernier
Jan 01, 0001
My Summer Fellows experience has focused on the essential importance of communication in the climate crisis, and on personal exploration to reconnect with the natural world. Grounding practices such as hiking in the woods and...

A Discrete Morse Approach for Computing Homotopy Types: An Exploration of the Morse, Generalized Morse, Matching, and Independence Complexes
Connor Donovan
Jan 01, 0001
In this thesis, we study possible homotopy types of four families of simplicial complexes-the Morse complex, the generalized Morse complex, the matching complex, and the independence complex-using discrete Morse theory. Given a...

Yeast: The Gateway to Redefining and Improving Biology Labs
Connor Loomis
Jan 01, 0001
Building off of collegiate research performed during the summer of 2018, this lesson plan outlines a lab for secondary students using yeast. Yeast is an affordable and convenient organism to introduce to secondary education, and...

Immunohistochemistry Staining for DCX and GFAP in Axolotl Spinal Cord Reveals Migration Pattern of New Neurons and Radial Glial Cells in Regenerating Tissue
Connor Evangelisto
Jan 01, 0001
Ambystoma mexicanum, commonly known as the Axolotl, possesses the unique ability to regenerate extremities and heal wounds at a rapid rate. Axolotls are considered paedomorphic salamanders, maintaining the juvenile features of...

Role of protein concentration on transient film thickness in synovial fluid lubricated joints
A computational model of protein aggregation lubrication has been developed for predicting transient behaviour in lubricated prosthetics. The model uses an advection-diffusion equation to simulate protein transport in order to...

Neuroimaging in schizophrenia
Over the last five decades, a large body of evidence has accrued for structural and metabolic brain alterations in schizophrenia. Here we provide an overview of these findings, focusing on measures that have traditionally been...

The Effects of Multiple Pregnancies on the Reversibility of Cardiac Hypertrophy in the Murine Heart
Robert C McNamara
Jan 01, 0001
Pregnancy presents a unique set of cardiac stressors. In order to maintain homeostasis for both mother and fetus, the heart can undergo a period of hypertrophic growth to increase its pumping capabilities. Hypertrophy is most...

Origin and function of the yolk sac in primate embryogenesis.
Human embryogenesis is hallmarked by two phases of yolk sac development. The primate hypoblast gives rise to a transient primary yolk sac, which is rapidly superseded by a secondary yolk sac during gastrulation. Moreover...

Crystalline adducts of the Lawsone molecule (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthaquinone)
Four new crystalline adducts of the Lawsone molecule (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthaquinone) with 4,4'-bipyridine, 4-(2-pyridine-4-ethyl)pyridine, 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane and 2-hydroxy pyridine are reported. Adduct formation leads to...

Evaluating RNA Structural Flexibility
Our understanding of RNA structure has lagged behind that of proteins and most other biological polymers, largely because of its ability to adopt multiple, and often very different, functional conformations within a single...
