Experimental Evolution Of Multicellularity In Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii, Jacob Boswell
Experimental Evolution Of Multicellularity In Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii, Jacob Boswell
University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)
In Life’s nearly four billion year history, organizational transitions have occurred that fundamentally altered the course of evolution. One of these, multicellularity, arose independently in at least two-dozen lineages, giving rise to a remarkable variety of complex forms. In the volvocine algal family, many transitional structures are retained in extant lineages, ranging from the unicellular, flagellated Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to the extravagant Volvox carterii, which contains as many as 50,000 differentiated cells. Many hypotheses have been suggested for the selective pressure that drove the evolution of multicellularity in this group, but none have been explicitly tested. Here, we tested the …

Placebo Effects, Ritual Causes, Tessa Weyrauch
University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)
The placebo effect is the power of belief positively manifested for the benefit of the patient. There are two ways that the placebo effect has been seen historically: a standard to clinically test the true efficacy of an active drug and as a sham given by people in a variety of medical positions from doctors to con artists. The use of the placebo effect as a treatment in and of itself has been greeted with distain by scientific researchers and the public because the beneficial reaction the body is creating is due to “belief” instead of “treatment.” However, the placebo …

Halogen-bonding Catalysis
By George Neuhaus
Abstract
Catalysis plays an important role in all fields of chemistry. Many catalysts used today are heavy metals, which are avoided in pharmaceutical production due to their toxicity. This limits the variety of drugs produced because some reactions are successful only in the presence of these metals. The purpose of this research is to synthesize and test novel halogen-bonding organocatalysts that will improve pharmaceutical synthesis by opening reaction pathways that are currently only available with heavy metals. The catalysts developed will improve catalysis of Michael-type additions by which Paroxetine, an anti depressant, ZemplerⓇ, which prevents …
Novel Cyp26 Inhibitors As A Treatment For Alzheimer’S Disease, Jade Bosic
Novel Cyp26 Inhibitors As A Treatment For Alzheimer’S Disease, Jade Bosic
University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)
More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and an American develops AD every 68 seconds. With no cures or significantly effective treatments available the number of Americans with AD is estimated to reach 7.1 million in 2025. AD is characterized by the increase in beta-amyloid plaques located in the extracellular space between the brain’s nerve cells. The endogenous chemical, retinoic acid (RA), plays a role in learning and memory and has been shown to reduce amyloid-beta plaques and rescue learning deficits associated with AD. However, the rapid metabolism of RA by hydrolase CYP26 results in a …
Can Personality Traits Predict Drug Use Preference?: A Discriminant Functions Analysis Of Substance Use In The Lgbtq Population, Adam J. Gott
University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)
Can Personality Traits Predict Substance Use Preference?: A Discriminant Functions Analysis of Drug Use in the LGBTQ Population.
Purpose: Previous research indicates that certain personality traits (impulsivity, neuroticism, sensation seeking, etc.) are strongly linked to heavy alcohol use and higher levels of stimulant use (Brunelle et al, 2004). We hypothesize that a difference in personality traits will result in differences of reported stimulant use, which excites the central nervous system and results in higher physiological arousal, and depressant use, which inhibits function of the central nervous system and results in a calming and sedating effect. Although a stronger presence of …

Determining Capability Of The Minerva Observatory From Simulated Observations, Chantanelle Nava
University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)
In the search for Earth analogues, astronomers are using technology designed to detect small rocky planets in the habitable zone, the annulus around a star in which temperatures could support liquid water. Small rocky planets induce RV signals easily missed in the presence of stellar noise sources of comparable or larger amplitudes. Over the next decade, the introduction of new technology such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) will allow astronomers to search small rocky planets’ atmospheres for biomarkers indicating the existence of past or present life. Before these telescopes take to the …
Comparing The Effects Of Ultrasound And Stretching On Hip Flexor Flexibility And Postural Control, Cali Vanvalkenburg, Britt Dickman
Comparing The Effects Of Ultrasound And Stretching On Hip Flexor Flexibility And Postural Control, Cali Vanvalkenburg, Britt Dickman
University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)
Context: Stretching has become a universally accepted practice used to increase flexibility, reduce muscle injury, and improve performance. In addition to stretching, modalities, such as ultrasound have been used to increase collagen extensibility, therefore increasing range of motion through deep heating. The premise for this study was to see if combining a stretching routine with ultrasound would improve range of motion (ROM) and postural control. Purpose: The purpose of this three trial study was to assess the effectiveness of both ultrasound and static stretching on hip flexor range of motion and postural control. Participant: Three males and three females between …
