Sequence Specific Concentration And Labeling Of Bacterial Plasmids For Future Use In Detection Of Drug-Resistant Sepsis Cases Without Amplification, Robert L. Hanson Jun 2021

Sequence Specific Concentration And Labeling Of Bacterial Plasmids For Future Use In Detection Of Drug-Resistant Sepsis Cases Without Amplification, Robert L. Hanson

Theses and Dissertations

Rapidly diagnosing the precise drug resistance present in sepsis-inducing bacteria is a continuing need to maintain the efficacy of our medical systems. Diagnostics currently being developed for such scenarios are either sensitive or rapid, but not both. Sequence-specific single DNA molecule analysis could fill this gap if it could be adapted to work on smaller targets, similar to those produced by classical biological methods. In this work, I demonstrate that immobilized ssDNA in the appropriate hybridization buffer can rapidly pull its complementary sequence out of solution. I also demonstrate that such systems in a microfluidic chip can be used to …

Domestic Outsourcing: Bridging The Gap Between Urban And Rural America, Colby Nelson Jun 2021

Domestic Outsourcing: Bridging The Gap Between Urban And Rural America, Colby Nelson

Marriott Student Review

With rural communities struggling to keep up with urban powerhouses of economic activity, domestic outsourcing of business services represents one possible solution. As high-skill job opportunities are distributed beyond the suburbs of technology hubs, rural communities will gain much-needed economic hope and reduce the consequences of brain drain. At the same time, urban centers will find relief from the symptoms of growing population pressures like the California housing crisis and the skills gap in local talent pools. Based on research on startup support policies in Southeast Europe, businesses and governments should focus on enabling, educating, and empowering rural business leaders …

Hay muchas empresas (como Volkswagen, Nestlé, y Sony) que han encontrado éxito en el mercados global. Si queremos tener el mismo éxito en nuestros empresas, hay varias cosas que tenemos que hacer para seguir su ejemplo. Este artículo habla de tres consideraciones: 1) Entender la audiencia; Volkswagen ha ganado mucho dinero por causa de sus anuncios que adaptan específicamente para cada país en que venden. 2) Descentralizar las decisiones comerciales; Nestlé ha podido trabajar con muchas marcas en países ajenas porque ha incorporado el liderazgo local en sus decisiones. 3) Confiar en el producto; Sony vende mucho en todo el …

With Concert Halls Empty, How Will Arts Nonprofits Pay The Bills?: Fundraising In The Covid-19 Era, David Kime

Marriott Student Review

While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant damage to the American economy as a whole, the nonprofit arts sector has suffered particularly stunning losses. With cancelled programming, uncertain future plans, and fewer willing donors, nonprofit leaders must shift financial strategies, or their organizations will not survive the pandemic. This paper examines conclusions from the body of nonprofit research to provide simple, practical fundraising solutions for struggling arts nonprofits. Building an effective fundraising strategy during troubled times will provide a lasting foundation for financial and artistic success.

Limbic Morphometry In Individuals With Schizophrenia And Their Nonpsychotic Siblings, Rachael Olivia Slate Jun 2021

Limbic Morphometry In Individuals With Schizophrenia And Their Nonpsychotic Siblings, Rachael Olivia Slate

Theses and Dissertations

The limbic system is hypothesized to play a critical role in pathophysiology of schizophrenia, with abnormalities thought to contribute to the expression of various aspects of the cognitive deficits and clinical symptoms. Psychosis is understood as highly heritable and family members, specifically non-affected siblings, while not displaying overt signs of the disorder, often exhibit features similar to those observed in patients, though to a lesser degree. The overarching aim of this project was to investigate the integrity of limbic circuitry in a sample of patients with schizophrenia and their non-affected siblings and examine its potential relationship with various clinical features …


Localized Anthropogenic And Geogenic Groundwater Contamination In The Structurally Complex Carbonate-Hosted East Tintic Mining District, Eureka, Ut, Usa, Cameron Patrick Cordner Jun 2021

Localized Anthropogenic And Geogenic Groundwater Contamination In The Structurally Complex Carbonate-Hosted East Tintic Mining District, Eureka, Ut, Usa, Cameron Patrick Cordner

Theses and Dissertations

Legacy mining areas throughout the world contain widespread contaminated surface and groundwater from both anthropogenic and geogenic sources. Abandoned mine waste can contribute harmful solutes to groundwater and surface water, as metals mobilize through oxidation of sulfide minerals. Geogenic contaminant sources, such as geothermal water and mineralization, may also contribute to groundwater pollution in mining areas. To investigate the relationship between various groundwater contamination sources in legacy mining areas we sampled ~30 cold springs in the East Tintic Mountains of Utah and 8 regional hot springs as a proxy for geothermal water during fall 2019 and spring/summer 2020. Water chemistry …


Bottom-Up Fabrication And Characterization Of Dna Origami-Templated Electronic Nanomaterials, Basu Ram Aryal Jun 2021

Bottom-Up Fabrication And Characterization Of Dna Origami-Templated Electronic Nanomaterials, Basu Ram Aryal

Theses and Dissertations

This work presents the bottom-up fabrication of DNA origami-assembled metal nanowires and metal-semiconductor junctions, and their electrical characterization. Integration of metal and semiconductor nanomaterials into prescribed sites on self-assembled DNA origami has facilitated the fabrication of electronic nanomaterials, whereas use of conventional tools in their characterization combines bottom-up and top-down technologies. To expand the contemporary DNA-based nanofabrication into nanoelectronics, I performed site-specific metallization of DNA origami to create arbitrarily arranged gold nanostructures. I reported improved yields and conductivity measurements for Au nanowires created on DNA origami tile substrates. I measured the conductivity of C-shaped Au nanowires created on DNA tiles …


What North American Bees Are Associated With Milkweed (Asclepias) Flowers?, Joseph S. Wilson Jun 2021

What North American Bees Are Associated With Milkweed (Asclepias) Flowers?, Joseph S. Wilson

Western North American Naturalist

Recent interest in protecting pollinators has led many organizations to plant milkweed to support monarch butterflies. However, little is known about what bee species might also benefit from milkweed plantings. Here I compile a list of bee species that have been collected on milkweed flowers. I compiled these data by searching large online databases and regional collections and supplementing with field collections. At least 282 different bee species have been collected on milkweed. Milkweed flowers can provide an important nectar resource for foraging bees, particularly in arid regions and in dry times of the year.

Out With The Old, In With The New: The Rise Of Gen Z, Chloë Breckenridge Jun 2021

Out With The Old, In With The New: The Rise Of Gen Z, Chloë Breckenridge

Marriott Student Review

To assume that Generation Z (Gen Z) and the millennial generation are the same is a critical mistake. Gen Z, comprised of individuals ages 13 to 24 now classifies 90 million people in the United States alone and has a growing impact on the American consumer economy. Gen Z should be the new focus of companies' marketing efforts. Based on the studied characteristics of Gen Z, companies would do well to be aware of their ethical values, the power of social media influencers, Gen Z's aim for individuality, and the differing types of brand loyalty. And while there are many …

Girls In Stem, Elizabeth Wood

Marriott Student Review

There is a huge disparity in gender gap in STEM fields. Research has shown that companies work better and innovation thrives when the workforce is more diverse. However, many girls face untrue stereotypes and cultural pressure that they should not pursue STEM careers. It is up to us to change the negative perceptions of girls working in STEM and instead support and uplift girls and encourage them to work in STEM. Girls have the power to change the world for the better and everyone needs to help and encourage them to do it!
