Detection Of Salmonella Enterica, Escherichia Coli O157 And Listeria Monocytogenes Through Bead Based Magpix® Fluidics, Karamveer Singh, Francisco Fernandez, Sonam Sahni, Alejandro Calderón-Urrea Aug 2013

Detection Of Salmonella Enterica, Escherichia Coli O157 And Listeria Monocytogenes Through Bead Based Magpix® Fluidics, Karamveer Singh, Francisco Fernandez, Sonam Sahni, Alejandro Calderón-Urrea

STAR Program Research Presentations

The research is testing the limits of detection and multiplexing with the use of three pathogens with the machine created from Luminex called Magpix. The pathogens are Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia Coli O157. The gene that is being focused on for each pathogen is invA for Salmonella, hlyA for listeria, and hlyA for Escherichia Coli. In this research, we started with prepared probes that were attached to the magnetic microsphere beads. Then we extracted and amplify the DNA. Furthermore, the probes were combined to the amplified DNA and used this in Magpix which gave a corresponding MFI value.

The Effect Of Single Gender Instruction On Eighth Grade Students' Mathematics Achievement, David Hammel

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

n the research study, this investigator utilized a non-experimental, causal-comparative design (ex post facto) with archival data to determine the real impact single gender instruction had on eighth grade students' mathematics achievement. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively analyze the benefits of single gender mathematics instruction for eighth grade male and female students, when compared against traditional coeducational instruction. Specifically, the researcher compared students instructed in single gender eighth grade mathematics classes with students taught in traditional coeducational classes by analyzing fall vs. spring Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) computerized mathematics test score means. Additionally, honors vs. non-honors …
