About the Exhibit

Revolutionary Decade: Reflections on the 1960s was an exhibit series designed to provide students and citizens of our region with insights into a wide range of aspects of life in the United States during this eventful, turbulent decade.

Booth Library hosted several staff-produced exhibits on topics including visual arts, literature, fashion, music, science and technology, political and social movements, and other broad themes. Programs included panel discussions, film screenings, performances and a fashion show.

Group 3 Late Embryogenesis Abundant Proteins From Embryos Of Artemia Franciscana: Structural Properties And Protective Abilities During Desiccation, Leaf C. Boswell, Michael A. Menze, Steven C. Hand

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Group 3 late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are highly

hydrophilic, and their expression is associated with desiccation

tolerance in both plants and animals. Here we show that two

LEA proteins from embryos of Artemia franciscana, AfrLEA2

and AfrLEA3m, are intrinsically disordered in solution but

upon desiccation gain secondary structure, as measured by circular

dichroism. Trifluoroethanol and sodium dodecyl sulfate

are both shown to induce a-helical structure in AfrLEA2 and

AfrLEA3m. Bioinformatic predictions of secondary-structure

content for both proteins correspond most closely to conformations

measured in the dry state. Because some LEA proteins

afford protection to desiccation-sensitive proteins during drying

and …

Cryopreservation Of Hepatocyte (Hepg2) Cell Monolayers: Impact Of Trehalose, Blake Stokich, Quinn Osgood, David Grimm, Shhyam Moorthy, Nilay Chakraborty, Michael A. Menze

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

A simple method to cryogenically preserve hepatocyte monolayers is currently not available but such a technique would facilitate numerous applications in the field of biomedical engineering, cell line development, and drug screening. We investigated the effect of trehalose and dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) in cryopreservation of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells in suspension and monolayer formats. HepG2 cell monolayers were incubated for 24 h at varying concentrations of trehalose (50–150 mM) prior to cryopreservation to identify the optimum concentration for such preincubation. When trehalose alone was used as the cryoprotective agent (CPA), cells in monolayer format did not survive freezing while …

Natural History Collections: Connecting With Faculty And Content, Stacey Knight-Davis, Todd A. Bruns

Faculty & Staff Research & Creative Activity

For well over a century, American biologists have built collection of plants, animals, fungi, insects, and other natural materials. Often, these collections serve as a record of the unique biodiversity of the local area and provide a record of change over time. Many taxonomic, genetic, and environmental discoveries lay waiting in the drawers and cupboards in which these specimens are stored. / / Uploading images of natural history specimens to Digital Commons allows them to be easily discovered in with a web search, leading the user back to the home collection. As an example, a search for 'big leaf magnolia …

The Role Of Late Embryogenesis-Abundant Proteins In Desiccation-Induced Apoptosis, Benjamin S. Poznic

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Encysted embryos of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana survive extreme water loss by expressing the late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) protein AfLEA1.3 and the moss Physcomitrella patens expresses PpDHNA under conditions of dehydration. I investigated the impact of transgenic expression of PpDHNA and AfLEA1.3 on the metabolism of mammalian cells exposed to 0.5 M sucrose. The gene PpDHNA was transgenically expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells and AfLEA1.3 was cloned into human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. Calorimetry was utilized to measure the metabolic activity of both cell lines. HEK cells showed a metabolic output of -24.1 ± 2.04 (SD) μW …

An Examination Of Keratinophilic Fungal On Eastern Bluebird Eggshells, Edward Anthony Hillman Iii

Undergraduate Honors Theses

This study was designed to evaluate the mycobiota of Eastern Bluebird eggshells and assess the abundance of keratinophilic fungi. Samples of fungi taken from Eastern Bluebird eggshells were subcultured for identification using macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. The occurrence of a significant number of keratinophilic fungi on Eastern Bluebird eggshells poses a potential threat to developing chicks.
