Limit Setting and Optimization for New Particle Production at CDF using Photon Timing
(2014-07-17)
New particles can be produced in high energy proton anti-proton collisions at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab). These new particles typically decay very quickly and their decay products can be recorded ...
Influences Affecting Consumption and Purchasing of Animal-Based Food Products
(2014-04-14)
The purpose of this grounded theory study was to describe influences affecting the consumption and purchasing of animal-based food products for consumers and producers in California and Texas. The study had two components: ...
A Genetic Dissection of Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain Biogenesis
(2014-01-21)
Mitochondria house the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC), the main site for cellular respiration and energy production. The MRC consists of five large protein complexes (I-V) in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Despite ...

Mitochondria house the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC), the main site for cellular respiration and energy production. The MRC consists of five large protein complexes (I-V) in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Despite ...
Characterization of Coxiella burnetii Effector CBU0041's Role in Host Cell Modulation
(2014-01-22)
A yeast suppressor screen was employed to identify proteins synthesized by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which suppress the toxicity of C. burnetii effector CBU0041 (CirA). Transformants were serially diluted and spotted onto ...
Examining the effects of mental workload and time pressure on cognitive task performance
(2014-02-04)
In this research, I investigated ways to reliably measure the effects of time pressure on mental workload using physiological measurement techniques and subjective workload assessments, as well as the resultant effects on ...
Frequency Response of the Swim Bladder and Weberian Ossicles of Zebrafish (Danio Rerio)
(2014-09-18)
In recent years, the use of zebrafish as human disease models has been expanded to include several forms of human deafness. Zebrafish provide convenient hosts for genetic and developmental investigation. However, knowledge ...
How Heloise Halted Heresy: Meta-Commentary on Rhetorical Exchanges (Or, Why I Am Allowed to Write This Thesis)
(2014-09-17)
Meta-rhetoric, or rhetoric that addresses rhetoric itself, is continuously metamorphosing and growing in acceptance. Discussions of this issue date back to ancient times, with Plato’s Phaedrus examining the morality of ...
Effect of Enzyme-Assisted Extraction of Anthocyanins from Purple Sweet Potato on Total Soluble Solids and Yield of Pigment
(2014-09-18)
An increased interest in health and wellness has led to consumer demand for natural alternatives to synthetic food dyes. The aim of this research was to increase the efficiency of extraction of anthocyanins from purple ...
What To Do After The 'Death of God'?: An Analysis of Resentment and Social/Political Exclusion
(2014-09-30)
This project proposes a critical perspective on the emancipatory project outlined by Gianni Vattimo and Santiago Zabala through the lens of two main problems: (a) ressentiment and (b) social/political exclusion. In working ...
