Yersiniae Virulence Factors: Type Iii Secretion System, Jessica Blanco
Yersiniae Virulence Factors: Type Iii Secretion System, Jessica Blanco
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Several Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria have evolved a complex protein secretion system termed the Type Three Secretion System (TTSS) to deliver bacterial effector proteins into host cells that then modulate host cellular functions. These bacterial devices are evolutionarily related to the flagellar apparatus. Although the TTSSs are substantially conserved among different species, the effector molecules they deliver are species unique. There exist three human pathogenic Yersiniae. Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis cause self-limiting gastro-enteric diseases and infect mesenteric lymph nodes, while Yersinia pestis is transmitted by fleas and can be aerosolized, causing the lethal disease known as plague (also know …
The Relationship Between The Maze Coral (Meandrina Meandrites) Autumnal Bleaching Cycle And Seawater Temperature, Gulf Stream Reef, Boynton Beach, Florida, Naoko Kurata
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Seasonal coral bleaching has been observed and studied in tropical waters around the world. These studies have demonstrated that there is a strong correlation between anomalously elevated sea water temperature and coral bleaching events, however few studies have been performed on healthy corals during periods of normal sea water temperature fluctuation. Visible changes of pigmentation were used as a proxy measure of dinoflagellate densities in the maze coral Meandrina meandrites inhabiting the Gulfstream reef off Boynton Beach, Florida on 15 observations from mid-August 2007 to mid-January 2008. Unlike previous studies at this location, submersible temperature recorders were deployed, which provided …
The Meaningless Of Life, Michael Bergbauer
The Meaningless Of Life, Michael Bergbauer
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Humankind has traditionally, throughout the ages, attempted to apply a meaning to its existence and believed that existence in and of itself, is a beautiful thing. In the spirit of Modernism, Beckett breaks with this tradition by asserting that existence is a bleak and squalid thing that has no meaning through his plays Waiting for Godot and Endgame. An analysis of these two plays reveals that life is inherently meaningless, but value in life is created by man by affirming it and practicing it. The reason the characters in Beckett’s plays are so miserable is because they take no …
The Effects Of Zinc On Gene Expression In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Using Polymerase Chain Reaction (Pcr) For Six Candidate Genes, Quratulain Hayat
The Effects Of Zinc On Gene Expression In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Using Polymerase Chain Reaction (Pcr) For Six Candidate Genes, Quratulain Hayat
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Zinc (Zn) is one of the principle trace elements required in biological systems, with structural or enzymatical roles in hundreds of proteins. In humans, zinc deficiency has gradually come to be recognized as a clinically significant and common form of malnutrition, particularly in chronically ill patients. The clinical manifestations of zinc deficiency are diverse with effects on the immune system, appetite, and embryonic development. The regulation of zinc distribution remains a critical, unanswered question. The manner in which zinc is released from its tight binding sites in proteins and its transfer from one site to another are also unknown. In …
Leap Of Faith, Chana F. Dukes
Leap Of Faith, Chana F. Dukes
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Leap of Faith is a retelling of the Sleeping Beauty fairytale and a nod to the original tale, before it was rearranged for the ears of children. I attempted to create a dream-like quality in the poem, using strong imagery and broken up stanzas to convey the impression of the dreaming child who is knocked from her slumber and into a harsh reality by her rape. I also attempted to create a sense of timelessness, because this is a story which occurs not once upon a time in a land far, far away, but all around us and throughout the …

Gentle Words Say Something Unbeautiful, Chana F. Dukes
Gentle Words Say Something Unbeautiful, Chana F. Dukes
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Gentle Words Say Something Unbeautiful came about when, in my creative writing class, we were given the assignment of using ugly words to say something pretty or pretty words to say something ugly. It has been through a couple of revisions since that original assignment, but that inspiration led me to create this pretty, melancholy poem which describes something abrupt and harsh; namely, a rape. The use of quatrains and the right alignment of the poem are intended to create the impression of repeated intrusion, D323wrongness, and grief.
Consensual Sadomasochism, Briana O'Dowd
Consensual Sadomasochism, Briana O'Dowd
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Sadism, the desire to inflict pain, and masochism, the craving for pain, can be categorized as formal mental disorders, as per the DSMIV-TR, but only to the extent to which normal functioning is impaired by the acts and fantasies associated with them. Consensual sadomasochism carries with it a particular consideration as both participants desire to become the other’s erotic fantasy and indeed enjoy being in that role. Sadomasochism spans across nearly all demographics and time periods, having its origin around the emergence of philosophy, economics, and politics. Sadomasochism has been continuously looked down upon due to misunderstandings about the physiological …
Austen’S Male Subordinates: Equality By Imbalance, Ryan Frabizio
Austen’S Male Subordinates: Equality By Imbalance, Ryan Frabizio
Undergraduate Student Symposium
In Jane Austen’s novels, the female characters are often the focus of critical study. This essay instead examines several minor male characters in her novels, such as Henry Crawford, Mr. Woodhouse, and Sir Walter Elliot, who deviate from conventional ideas of men in early eighteenth-century English society. The male characters studied lack independence or personal strength, and even lack dominance over female characters. However, they are still significant characters because they serve integral roles in the plot, and serve as vehicles for Austen’s ideas. The imbalances of power between Austen’s characters, even to the point of bringing male characters into …

Rapid Polymerase Chain Reaction Based Assay For The Identification Of The Highly Endangered Small Tooth Sawfish (Pristis Pectinata), Hayley Oligane, Vince Richards
Rapid Polymerase Chain Reaction Based Assay For The Identification Of The Highly Endangered Small Tooth Sawfish (Pristis Pectinata), Hayley Oligane, Vince Richards
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Globally, populations of sawfish (family: Pristidae) have become highly endangered to the point of extinction, and have suffered a decline grater than 90% over the last century. The principal threat to sawfish is fishing and habitat degradation. In the United States most Pristidae species have become completely exasperated. Previously, only two species were reported in US waters (Pristis pectinata and Pristis perotteti), and it’s now believed that Pristis perotteti is virtually extinct. Furthermore, the range of Pristis Pectinata has now been reduced to South Florida and has declined to 5 percent of its original population size. In 2007, …
Measuring Gender Specific Perceptions Of Gender-Neutral Behavior, Bridget Haley, Bianca Basile
Measuring Gender Specific Perceptions Of Gender-Neutral Behavior, Bridget Haley, Bianca Basile
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Past research on breaking gender norms, descriptive and prescriptive gender norms, and gender specific sports have all neglected gender-neutral behavior. The objective of the study is to investigate perception of gender-neutral scenarios as gender specific. Forty participants (24 women and 16 men) were recruited in academic lobbies of Nova Southeastern University. In a survey, participants rated the masculinity, femininity, manliness, and gender equity of gender-neutral, sports-related scenarios performed by either a male or female actor. Both men and women rated gender-neutral acts as more masculine if a man was the actor and more feminine if a woman was the actor. …

Linkage Of Restriction Site Polymorphisms At The Minisatellite D1s80 Locus In A Tamil Population From India, Nick Rocco
Undergraduate Student Symposium
In this study, we report the distribution of these polymorphisms in a Tamil population from India. SNP analysis was performed by RT-PCR utilizing a TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays kit from Applied Biosystems. Data was collected on a Corbett Rotor-Gene 3000. For most alleles analyzed, the restriction site haplotype polymorphisms were consistent with the assigned older allele types, allele 18 and 24. Appropriate restriction enzymes were used for restricting the PCR products which confirmed all SNP designations. The interesting finding in this study is that 98.5 % (197/200) of the alleles tested have a linkage of two specific polymorphisms. If an …
Global Warming - How Fluorescent Lights And Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles Can Make A Difference, Melissa Corrao, Legna Castaneda, Debbie Ali, Alexandra Timis
Global Warming - How Fluorescent Lights And Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles Can Make A Difference, Melissa Corrao, Legna Castaneda, Debbie Ali, Alexandra Timis
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Global warming is a world wide epidemic caused by anthropogenic factors that can be reduced or even eliminated to alleviate the fast paced progression of this harmful phenomenon. Society as a whole can make numerous lifestyle changes, two of which include the use of fluorescent light blubs and plug in hybrid cars. Fluorescent lights as opposed to incandescent, reduce the amount of heat emitted to the environment and the amount of electricity usage, which overall reduces CO2 emission. Plug-in hybrid vehicles utilize a more fuel efficient battery thus minimizing the amount of harmful gases released into the atmosphere.

Increased Vancomycin Resistance Exhibited By Staphylococcus Aureus Grown Together With Candida Albicans Within Mixed Species Biofilms, Fabrice Auguste, Shardul Koppar, John Seymour
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Biofilms are multicellular communities of microorganisms that characteristically attach to some surface, produce and encase themselves within a thick polysaccharide matrix, and resist physical insults and treatment with anti-microbial drugs. The studies described here focus on characterizing the physical interactions between a bacterium (Staphylococcus aureus) and fungus (Candida albicans) in the context of a mixed biofilm. Both of these organisms are common human pathogens that cause a variety of human disease. Previous findings in our lab have suggested that C. albicans and S. aureus interact with one another and alter the other’s ability to attach and …
Genetic Characterization Of The Yersiniae Cold Growth Phenomenon, Richard Wheeler, Nick Rocco
Genetic Characterization Of The Yersiniae Cold Growth Phenomenon, Richard Wheeler, Nick Rocco
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The yersinaie are psychotropic (able to grow at cold temperatures) Gram negative enterobacteriae that include 3 human pathogens: Yersinia pestis (the etiological agent of the black-death), Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (both causing self-limiting gastro-intestinal disorders). Y. enterocolitica, in particular, is an emerging food-borne illness and threat in the U.S. Since refrigeration is the dominant method of food preservation, an examination of the genetic basis of the yersiniae cold adaptation characteristics could yield considerable benefit. Recently, it has been shown that PNPase, an mRNA degrading exoribonuclease, is required for the yersinaie to grow at cold temperatures (~4-10°C). Furthermore, a …
Emotional Influences On Cognitive Processing In Hiv-Infected Women, Kristen Dealmeida, Lara Murphy
Emotional Influences On Cognitive Processing In Hiv-Infected Women, Kristen Dealmeida, Lara Murphy
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Although emotional impairment and cognitive decline are both commonly observed in HIV positive individuals, it is currently unclear how these two states influence each other. Poor performance on a cognitive task is often attributed to cognitive deficits when the root problem lies in emotional disturbances, particularly for HIV-infected women. Here, we propose to begin to untangle this complex relationship by assessing cognitive functioning while we simultaneously manipulate emotional state through the use of emotionally negative or neutral pictures. We will use electroencephalographic (EEG) event related brain potentials (ERPs) as the primary index of the influence of emotional processing on cognitive …

Expression And Purification Of His-Tag Thioredoxin Protein, Charlene Bernard, Viral Patel
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The molecular biology techniques can be used for making proteins in bacteria. In this study, we have used E. coli expression system to make a His-tag thioredoxin protein. Making use of His-tag, thioredoxin was purified from bacterial proteins using affinity chromatography. SDS-PAGE was applied to develop a purification protocol. The MW of purified protein was estimated by comparing its mobility on the gel with those standard proteins. The purified protein was pure as shown by the appearance of a single band on the gel. To further identify the purified protein, western blot technique was employed using a His-tag antibody. The …
Determining The Impact Of Mineral Carbonation On Decreasing The Harmful Effects Of Global Warming, Myra Rafi, Sarah Silverstein, Nergess Taheri
Determining The Impact Of Mineral Carbonation On Decreasing The Harmful Effects Of Global Warming, Myra Rafi, Sarah Silverstein, Nergess Taheri
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Global warming is a major dilemma that our environment is currently facing. This research presents mineral carbonation as one innovative solution in alleviating this issue. The purpose of mineral carbonation is to lessen the harmful effects of global warming. This is done by combining carbon dioxide with magnesium or calcium silicate minerals through a chemical reaction. This process converts carbon dioxide gas into a solid carbonate compound. The reactions aim is to decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in turn lessening its negative effects. Mineral carbonation appears to be an effective method to decrease the harmful effects …
Conservation Of Porbeagle Sharks (Lamna Nasus) Worldwide By Species And Population Dna Forensic Testing, Lara Murphy
Conservation Of Porbeagle Sharks (Lamna Nasus) Worldwide By Species And Population Dna Forensic Testing, Lara Murphy
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The porbeagle shark (Lamna nasus) is an oceanic species inhabiting the temperate North Atlantic and most of the southern oceans. The high commercial value of its fins has led to severe population depletion in the North Atlantic from overfishing. The population status of southern hemisphere porbeagles, however, is unknown due to lack of fisheries monitoring. Due to mounting concerns about fishing impacts, this shark was placed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2007. However, an international petition to get porbeagle sharks listed on CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) to require worldwide monitoring …
