Family Structures Of Homeless Men, Lauren Olson

Social Work Student Works

I spent the semester exploring the family structures of homeless men in Minneapolis through interviews and participant observation.

Effects Of Arsenic Responsive P21 On Innate Immunity And Apoptosis In Zebrafish, Gabriel O. Vachon May 2013

Effects Of Arsenic Responsive P21 On Innate Immunity And Apoptosis In Zebrafish, Gabriel O. Vachon

Honors College

Arsenic is a heavy metal that is frequently found in drinking water, especially well-water in the Northeastern United States.

Specifically, this project characterized the gene encoding for the protein p21. The particular gene is cdkn1a (will be referred to here by its product "p21" both for the protein and gene itself which will be italicized) and had increased expression as a result of arsenic exposure from a previously complete microarray analysis. In attempt to …

Practice Based Competency Development: A Study Of Resource Geologists And The Jorc Code System, Jacqueline Coombes

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

The mining industry is a major contributor to the Australian economy. The value of mining and exploration shares traded on the Australian Stock Exchange are contingent on the estimates of mineral deposits, which are disclosed publically in accordance with a reporting code maintained by the Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee (the JORC Code). Expert resource geologists, known as Competent Persons, provide classified estimates of mineral endowment that underpin these public statements. The JORC Code requirements for qualifying as Competent Persons are membership of an approved professional association and a minimum of five years’ relevant experience. This research set out to …
