Undergraduate Student Symposium

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disease with unknown causes. It is known that Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) play an important role in gene expression. Changes to that can manifest as phenotypic changes. Prior to this ongoing study, there existed no known databases of SNPs in patients diagnosed with ME/CFS.

Our objectives are to create and continually update a novel database of SNPs that are specific for ME/ CFS patients, and to identify the relative frequency in our cohort of specific SNPs warranting further research.

A genetic database was created on-site through the use of a secure user-friendly …

Printing 3-D Molecular Models Of The Angiotensin Ii, Type 1 Receptor And Its Anti-Hypertensive Ligand (Olmesartan), Riti Vohra, Valentina Ramirez, Guy Merus

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Through the use of protein visualization software, such as Jmol, it is possible to design and ultimately print 3-D structural protein models. Literary review and protein database files help shed light on the important structural components of proteins. As an example, the Angiotensin II, AT1 type receptor, known by its protein database file, 4ZUD, was selected to demonstrate this process. Blood pressure regulation through the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) is mediated through the activation and inhibition of Angiotensin II (AngII) from its precursor Angiotensin I (AngI). Activation of AngII leads to vasoconstriction, resulting in an increase in blood pressure, while …

Rationalizing The Irrational Consumer: How Behavioral Economics Impacts Marketing, Hannah Farley Apr 2017

Rationalizing The Irrational Consumer: How Behavioral Economics Impacts Marketing, Hannah Farley

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Behavioral economics is studying the reasons why people make the economic decisions that they do, based on psychology. Before behavioral economics, most economists assumed consumers were rational in their decisions, which is a false assumption. Consumers are impacted by a variety of different sources to make the decisions that they do, which is why their choices can fluctuate and seem irrational. Marketing strategies can be influenced for the better by behavioral economics, by seeing the reasons why consumers may or may not choose a product and marketing the product based on these responses. This essay strives to explore different principles …

Sargassum-Associated Fish Communities Are Stable Over Time And Feature Low Levels Of Parasitism, Kelsey Fox Apr 2017

Sargassum-Associated Fish Communities Are Stable Over Time And Feature Low Levels Of Parasitism, Kelsey Fox

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Sargassum mats are common features of South Florida coastlines. Consisting of pelagically drifting clumps of brown algae (usually of the genus Sargassum), these mats are critical nursery habitat for many fish species, providing surface shelter in otherwise exposed open ocean areas. However, the ecology of Sargassum mat communities remains unstudied. This project addressed two key knowledge gaps. First, the long term stability of Sargassum community structure was assessed in samples collected over an 8-year period. Overall 9 fish species were collected (N=150). Individual Sargassum mats typically harbored 2.6 ± 0.7 fish species which were equally abundant in any given …

Screening For Type Iii Secretion System Inhibitors, Samir Nacer, Kendall Mockridge, Kevin Lujan, Chris Soha, Eugenia Jimenez

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Commonly used antibiotics are becoming less effective because they target bacterial cell walls or processes, which create a selective pressure for bacteria to become resistant, leading to the formation of “super bugs”. Some of these pathogenic bacteria include E. coli, Salmonella, Chlamydia and Yersinia. These species utilize a type III secretion system (T3SS), which are needle-like structures on their surface used to inject host cells with toxins in order to evade our immune system and cause infection. Recently a new method for testing compounds to determine if they inhibit the Y. pestis T3SS was developed by our …

Synthesis And Characterization Of Tris(4,4-Dichloro-2,2-Bipyridine) Ruthenium (Ii), Jake Bence

Undergraduate Student Symposium

A new ruthenium (II) [Ru(4,4-dichloro-2,2-bipy)3Cl2 complex has been synthesized using a new procedural method. The complex was characterized by NMR, IR, and UV-Vis. After purification through column chromatography with alumnia, the percent yield was 60.39%. Electrochemistry data confirmed the presence of Ruthenium-bipyridine bonds, very similar to electrochemical data of [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2. The quantum yield of the [Ru(4,4-dichloro-2,2-bipy)3Cl2 complex was calculated after comparing with calibrated standards. This complex will be used to improve the photosensitizing properties of the complex by adding auxiliary ligands to the chlorinated bipyridine group.

The Darker Side Of Education: The College Affordability Crisis, Paulette Fuerst, Kunal Karmilkar Apr 2017

The Darker Side Of Education: The College Affordability Crisis, Paulette Fuerst, Kunal Karmilkar

Undergraduate Student Symposium

According to the National Center for Policy Analysis, college prices have increased by 175% (Gonzalez, O’Sullivan, 2010). As a result, the total student debt surpasses more than $1.2 trillion in 2015 (Schoen, John, 2015). The college affordability crisis is based off of the ubiquitous high price of college tuition that continues to rise over the years. Thus, it is imperative that college students are aware of today’s exponential growth of both debt and college cost, because it disrupts students from having a sustainable economic future.

Analyzing the socio-economical aspects of college affordability allows us to comprehend the impact of high …

The Effect Of Sucralose On The Inhibition Of Three Bacteria Species That Inhabit The Human Gut, Kristi Njaravelil, Avidor Gerstenfeld Apr 2017

The Effect Of Sucralose On The Inhibition Of Three Bacteria Species That Inhabit The Human Gut, Kristi Njaravelil, Avidor Gerstenfeld

Undergraduate Student Symposium

The purpose of this experiment is to examine the proposed bacteriostatic (growth-inhibition) effect of sucralose, a minimally metabolized, non-nutritive, and non-caloric sweetener on three species of bacteria commonly found in the human gut. Sucralose has been shown to inhibit the growth of environmental bacteria likely due to the inhibition of the invertase enzyme, which is involved in the breakdown of sucrose. This study attempts to replicate this finding with bacterial species associated with the human gut microbiome and to test if the bacteria are still susceptible to growth inhibition by sucralose while in a monosaccharide rich environment, such as with …

The Influence Of A Serotonin 2a Receptor Gene (Htr2a) On Stress Responsivity, Akshay Naraine Apr 2017

The Influence Of A Serotonin 2a Receptor Gene (Htr2a) On Stress Responsivity, Akshay Naraine

Undergraduate Student Symposium

A single nucleotide polymorphism on the serotonin 2A receptor gene HTR2A (rs6313) alters neurological functions. Previous research has shown that the “A” allele carriers are at greater risk for increased stress responsivity. It is currently uncertain the extent to which rs6313 affects physiological and psychological responses. To address this uncertainty, we carried out a study with the hypothesis that “A” allele carriers on the serotonin 2A receptor gene would have increased physiological and psychological stress responsivity. The groups did not differ on any self-report measures of anxiety or sensation seeking. There was no difference between the groups on cortisol before …

The Psychological And Physiological Implications Of Sleep Restriction: A Comparison Of Voluntary And Experimental Sleep Restriction Groups, Sri Moturu, Kevin Douglas, Kaylin Huitsing Apr 2017

The Psychological And Physiological Implications Of Sleep Restriction: A Comparison Of Voluntary And Experimental Sleep Restriction Groups, Sri Moturu, Kevin Douglas, Kaylin Huitsing

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Sleep restriction (SR) has profound adverse effects on health and wellbeing; however, it is not clear if there are differential effects of chronic and voluntary SR vs. short-term and involuntary SR. In order to examine this possibility, we tested the extent to which psychological and physical health measures were influenced by a group of participants who voluntarily restricted their sleep (VSR) relative to participants who underwent 7 days of experimental sleep restriction (ESR). We tested a female-specific population since sleep complaints in women are particularly associated with impaired psychological functioning. Upon study enrollment, sleep group categorization (ESR vs. VSR) was …

Combating Cooperative Antibiotic Resistance, Tom Abraham, Aimee Doiron Apr 2017

Combating Cooperative Antibiotic Resistance, Tom Abraham, Aimee Doiron

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Antibiotic resistance is a significant public health concern, causing more than 2 million illnesses and 23,000 deaths each year. To better combat the problem of antibiotic resistance, we studied the effects of cheater bacteria using a strain of Escherichia coli with the ability to express β-lactamase. Specifically, we mapped the conditions that cause cooperative bacteria to exhibit a strong Allee effect – in which colony survival depends on the initial population exceeding a certain minimum threshold. Bacteria that express β-lactamase confer protection to the population when ampicillin is present. This provides an incentive for cheater bacteria to enjoy the benefits …

The Effects Of Video Gaming With A Brain-Computer Interface On Mood And Stress, Francisco Javier Carrera Arias Apr 2017

The Effects Of Video Gaming With A Brain-Computer Interface On Mood And Stress, Francisco Javier Carrera Arias

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Previous research has shown that video game playing can alter psychological processing. Noninvasive, but cognitively challenging, video games (e.g. Tetris) have been shown to reduce intrusive memories following a traumatic event. This application has been thought of as a “cognitive vaccine” wherein the limited processing resources following a traumatic event are redistributed to the video game task. Emerging video game apparatuses include brain-computer interfaces (BCI’s) where scalp-recorded electroencephalographic (EEG) data are used to control different aspects of the game. It is possible that BCI-driven video games can serve as a useful addition to video game “cognitive vaccine” treatment following emotional …

Differences In Jump Height And Reactice Strength Index-Modified In Dancers And Non-Dancers Performing The Vertical Jump From Two Positions, Sarah Hutcher Apr 2017

Differences In Jump Height And Reactice Strength Index-Modified In Dancers And Non-Dancers Performing The Vertical Jump From Two Positions, Sarah Hutcher

Undergraduate Student Symposium

The vertical jump (VJ), the gold standard for assessing leg power, is most commonly performed from a squat stance (SS). However, dancers often initiate jumps/leaps from a plié, externally rotated from the hip or "turned out" (TO). Testing dancers from a SS may not indicate activity specific power. This study's purpose was to determine differences in jump height and leg explosiveness, as measured by reactive strength index-modified (RSI-mod) when performed from TO and SS positions in dancers and non-dancers. Thus far, five healthy participants who are physically active at least ten hours/week have been studied; three dancers, having at least …

Mathematical Approach To Understanding Consumer Behavior, Teodora Suciu Apr 2017

Mathematical Approach To Understanding Consumer Behavior, Teodora Suciu

Undergraduate Student Symposium

This study examines the theory of consumer behavior, particularly the use of optimization within utility maximization. The science of economics deals with the behavior of economic agents: consumers, producers, and the government. Every consumer is assumed to allocate his or her income to different goods and services that he or she buys, so that the objective is optimized. Similarly, every business firm is assumed to allocate its resources so that its profits are optimized. Government agents are also assumed to allocate resources so that society’s benefits or welfare will be optimized. The resources necessary to satisfy unlimited human wants are …

Comparison Of Porifera Bacterial Symbiont Community Profiles Based On Species And Source Template, Celeste Banfill Apr 2017

Comparison Of Porifera Bacterial Symbiont Community Profiles Based On Species And Source Template, Celeste Banfill

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Sponges exhibit complex, species-specific microbial symbioses. The role of symbiont communities, known as “microbiomes”, to create a “holobiont” with their host is not fully understood. Microbiomes can be characterized by sequencing 16S rRNA fragments from total community genomic DNA (gDNA). The purpose of this study is to sequence bacterial rRNA from previously isolated cDNA (complementary DNA synthesized from RNA samples) and compare the profiles to gDNA. The samples were derived from the Porifera Tree of Life (PorTol.org). I hypothesize that microbial profiles derived from gDNA templates will be nearly identical to those found in cDNA of the same sponge species. …
