Revision Of Introductory Chemistry Lab Curriculum To Incorporate Inquiry-Based Experiments To Enhance Student Learning, Christian Santos
Revision Of Introductory Chemistry Lab Curriculum To Incorporate Inquiry-Based Experiments To Enhance Student Learning, Christian Santos
Honors Program Theses and Projects
The Chemistry Department at BSU is restructuring its curriculum to integrate and scaffold research into the four-year curriculum as part of a CUR-NSF grant. The overall goal of this Honors Thesis was to contribute to the Introductory Chemistry laboratory (CHEM 141L) curriculum development by selecting experiments that move away from traditional “cookbook” laboratory experiments to inquiry-based labs to better engage students and maximize their learning. Three skills identified by chemistry faculty as essential for the restructured CHEM 141L are: preparation of solutions; use of standard curves in quantitative analysis; and graphical analysis of data using Excel. The specific goals of …
Disruption Of The Electron Transfer System Within The Protein 3-Ketosteroid-9Α-Hydroxylase (Kshab) Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, Olivia Esteireiro
Disruption Of The Electron Transfer System Within The Protein 3-Ketosteroid-9Α-Hydroxylase (Kshab) Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, Olivia Esteireiro
Honors Program Theses and Projects
Uncovering the mode of electron transport within the 3-ketosteroid-9-hydroxylase, KshAB, enzyme complex from Mycobacterium tuberculosis will reveal previously unknown possibilities towards curing tuberculosis infections. The KshB protein was mutated at one possible site of electron transfer – an arginine at location 286 – to rupture its cooperation with the KshA complex to prevent the bacteria from gaining energy from the breakdown of steroids as a fuel source. The arginine was mutated to an aspartic acid and alanine to get varying chemical properties to replace the original amino acid. Experimentation included over-expressing the wildtype and mutant proteins in E. coli, …
Kinetic And Kinematic Analysis Of Landing A Grand Jeté Between Barefoot And Pointe Shoe Footwear For Dominant And Non-Dominant Legs, Cara Giordani Daybré
Kinetic And Kinematic Analysis Of Landing A Grand Jeté Between Barefoot And Pointe Shoe Footwear For Dominant And Non-Dominant Legs, Cara Giordani Daybré
Honors Program Theses and Projects
Dancers wear pointe shoes while performing a Grand Jeté because the shoes produce an illusion that dancers are floating. Since dancers are required to absorb a significant amount of force in a small area on the toes during landing, this then causes a high incidence of injury. The question of how to perform a Grand Jeté safely for both feet remains unaddressed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the vertical ground reaction force and lower body joint angular displacements in the skill of a Grand Jeté between barefoot and pointe shoes for both dominant and non-dominant legs. …
