The Use Of Molecular Dynamics Simulations To Predict Thymine Dimer Formation In Histone Bound Dna, Emily Ann Brune Heinsen
The Use Of Molecular Dynamics Simulations To Predict Thymine Dimer Formation In Histone Bound Dna, Emily Ann Brune Heinsen
CUP Undergraduate Research
Thymine dimers are the major lesions in DNA that are caused by environmental conditions that can lead to apoptosis or can become carcinogenic (Schreier, et al., 2007). These dimers form when the pi electrons of one thymine in a neighboring thymine pair is excited by a photon from UV light, and occurs on the picosecond time scale (Schreier, et al., 2007). Due to the ultrafast nature of this reaction, the thymines must be in proper conformation prior to excitation in order for the reaction to take place. The proper conformation for the reaction has been found to occur when the …

Opening Ceremony Of The Olympics, Haley Holmes
Opening Ceremony Of The Olympics, Haley Holmes
Master of Arts in Sport Management
The most competitive athletes from across the world come together every four years to battle for the gold medal. The Olympics began in 1896, in Athens, Greece, and has become a worldwide tradition ever since. Organizing the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics takes a special team, as well as many extraordinary managers, that can handle the pressure, stay positive, and communicate with the various culture and language differences. The Opening Ceremony of the Olympics has been my choice of research topic for the past eighteen months, examining all phases and the event as a whole. Cover the history, marketing plan, …

National Collegiate Athletic Association (Ncaa) Division I Men's Basketball Final Tour, Leah Mccall
Master of Arts in Sport Management
Intercollegiate athletic competitions have been taking place for well over 150 years. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) was created to oversee and regulate member school athletic competitions. The NCAA has three athletic divisions, Division I, II, and III. The NCAA currently hosts eighty-nine championships each year. This writing focuses on one of those contests, the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Final Four. In particular, this writing focuses on the 75th Anniversary Division I Men's Basketball Final Four held in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2013. Specifically, this writing looks at what it takes to become a host city for the contest, …

Master of Arts in Sport Management
The capstone project analyzed and presented insight into the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, including a view of the financing, marketing, event management, while also giving a view of a major ethical dilemma that the NCAA faces. The tournament has evolved in the over 75 years it has been played to become a leading event for the NCAA and a major factor in the infrastructure of the organization as a whole. The nature of the event, namely the size and the rotating venues, created a major need for a strong risk management plan to ensure the safety of everyone …
Optical Properties Of Secondary Organic Aerosols, Felisha Imholt, Ryan Caylor, Matthew Wise, John Shilling
Optical Properties Of Secondary Organic Aerosols, Felisha Imholt, Ryan Caylor, Matthew Wise, John Shilling
CUP Undergraduate Research
It is well known that the increased warming effect due to greenhouse gases is a major environmental concern. While the amount of solar radiation absorbed by greenhouse gases is known to a high certainty, the amount absorbed by secondary organic aerosols (SOA) is not. The experimental procedure used to measure the amount of radiation absorbed by SOA was optimized using fulvic acid. The optimized method was then used to measure how much radiation SOA absorb between ~200 and 800 nm. Using this data, mass absorption coefficient (MAC) values at 405 nm and imaginary refractive indexes (k) were calculated. These values …

CUP Undergraduate Research
The enhanced greenhouse effect is considered one our greatest global environmental problems. The amount of radiation absorbed by greenhouse gases is known to high certainty. However, absorbance from atmospheric aerosols particles is not. This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition of secondary organic aerosol particles (SOA) and to determine the compositional effect on their optical properties. The SOA were created in a temperature controlled chamber at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, WA and collected on filters. The SOA were then analyzed for chemical composition using Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTIR). Analysis of the IR spectra revealed specific …

It is well known that the increased warming effect due to greenhouse gases is a major environmental concern. While the amount of solar radiation absorbed by greenhouse gases is known to a high certainty, the amount absorbed by secondary organic aerosols (SOA) is not. Our study aimed to discover how much radiation SOA particles absorb between ~200 and 800 nm. The SOA were created in one of two temperature controlled Teflon chambers within Dr. John Shilling’s lab at PNNL and were collected on 47 mm Teflon filters. We used an ultraviolet-visible (UV/Vis) spectrometer equipped with a liquid waveguide capillary flow …

Progress Toward Removal Of The Purification Tag In A Putative Toxin Protein Via Site-Specific Mutagenesis And Proteolytic Cleavage, Joanna L. Fridlund, Bethany G. Taylor, Michael H. Godsey
Progress Toward Removal Of The Purification Tag In A Putative Toxin Protein Via Site-Specific Mutagenesis And Proteolytic Cleavage, Joanna L. Fridlund, Bethany G. Taylor, Michael H. Godsey
CUP Undergraduate Research
Putative toxin protein BC_2332, isolated from Bacillus cereus, which is a relative of Bacillus anthracis, shows similarity in the active site to ADP-ribosylating proteins present in cholera and diphtheria. Preliminary attempts to measure the activity of the putative toxin were unsuccessful leading to the hypothesis that the purification tag is hindering the activity. This hypothesis is supported by crystal structure analysis showing the putative active site occupied by the purification tag. Our objective was to remove the purification tag, via two different methods, in order to relieve potential inhibition. Both methods have faced obstacles and the work is continuing.
