High Potential Antimicrobial Hit-Rate Of A Natural Product Fragment Reassembly Library, Evelyn Schwartz Mar 2022

High Potential Antimicrobial Hit-Rate Of A Natural Product Fragment Reassembly Library, Evelyn Schwartz

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Introduction of new antibiotics into the market is important and urgent. Over the past decade there have been few novel antibiotics and cases of antimicrobial resistance infections is expected to increase. Most antibiotics have been developed with structure-based drug design of known target mechanisms, or from natural products. The limit of using natural products is that many are already diverse and complex in structure and have limited synthetic flexibility. Fragments of natural products are more synthetically pliable and can be linked together similar to amino acids in peptide synthesis. An in-slica library of natural product fragment reassembly (NPFR) would provide …


Sex Determination Of Ritual Violence Victims At Paquimé In Chihuahua, Mexico, Lacy Hazelwood Mar 2022

Sex Determination Of Ritual Violence Victims At Paquimé In Chihuahua, Mexico, Lacy Hazelwood

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

At the prehistoric site of Paquimé in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico, violence has been linked to the development and maintenance of ritual and social inequality through human sacrifice and performance violence. Across pre-colonial Mexico, human sacrifice coincided with the end or beginning of new seasons, maintenance of hierarchical structures, and offerings to the gods of rain, fertility, and agriculture. Research indicates that preferences for certain demographic variables such as age and sex may have played a significant role in the recruitment of sacrificial victims, and that these were often matched with the deities to whom they were offered. To aid in …


The Forgotten Epidemic: Identification Of Mtbc In The Neolithic Trypillia Of Verteba Cave, Ukraine, Tre Blohm Mar 2022

The Forgotten Epidemic: Identification Of Mtbc In The Neolithic Trypillia Of Verteba Cave, Ukraine, Tre Blohm

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Microorganisms have plagued humankind for millennia and frequently participate in an evolutionary arms race against their hosts. Diseases from various microorganisms have crippled entire countries or led to massive population declines in recent history. However, much is unknown about epidemiology in ancient times. My project will be the first comprehensive paleoepidemiological approach to understand disease across populations in Europe during the Neolithic era (7000-1700BC). The Neolithic was one of the most profound transformations in human history, both culturally and biologically. Massive migrations, formations of the earliest settlements in Europe, and introduction of agriculture and pastoralism led to new environments for …


Assessing The Vulnerability Of At-Risk Amphibians To Regional Climate Change, Ross K. Hinderer Mar 2022

Assessing The Vulnerability Of At-Risk Amphibians To Regional Climate Change, Ross K. Hinderer

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Title: Assessing the Vulnerability of At-Risk Amphibians to Regional Climate Change

Purpose: Climate change threatens the persistence of many species worldwide. However, the effects of climate change on a particular species or in a particular location vary based on many factors. Some amphibians may benefit from climate changes while others will not, so understanding the factors associated with higher risks of detrimental effects will allow decision-makers to focus on protecting particularly vulnerable species and populations. Unfortunately, many amphibian species are not well-studied so ecologists are missing key details about their habitat use or life cycle making typical methods …


Health, Land, And Heritage: Understanding Montana Suicide Through Culture, Emory C. Padgett Mar 2022

Health, Land, And Heritage: Understanding Montana Suicide Through Culture, Emory C. Padgett

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

From Norman Maclean’s A River Runs Through It (1976) to the popular series Yellowstone, stories loom large in Montana, and their use goes beyond entertainment. Stories about the state are informative in understanding Montana culture and heritage because the myths, perspectives, and truths revealed through literature, art, and television are closely intertwined with the memories and values of its people; in an ongoing feedback, stories simultaneously originate in lived experience and actively shape experiences. Grounded in this cultural significance, I use media as an ethnographic lens through which to study social change in rural Montana, which has faced economic …


Predicting Huckleberry Habitat Using Species Distribution Models, Rebekah Brassfield Mar 2022

Predicting Huckleberry Habitat Using Species Distribution Models, Rebekah Brassfield

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Geographic distribution of plants and animals is determined by a variety of overlapping habitat factors like soil type, elevation, or canopy cover. Understanding the complicated interactions between these factors and the impacts they have on species’ distributions is increasingly important in the face of changing environments and climates. Species distribution models (SDM) measure the importance of habitat variables in determining the spatial distribution of certain species. Because SDMs include a variety of habitat variables, they can be used to answer questions about habitat suitability, predict future distributions, and inform conservation efforts.

Huckleberries (Vaccinium spp.) are a common understory …


The Influence Of Metal Contamination On The Fishery Of The Upper Clark Fork River, Montana, Usa, Taylor Gold Quiros Mar 2022

The Influence Of Metal Contamination On The Fishery Of The Upper Clark Fork River, Montana, Usa, Taylor Gold Quiros

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Historical mining and mineral processing have led to heavy metal contamination in the flood-plain of the Upper Clark Fork River of western Montana. This contamination has acted as a long-term stressor on the river and its inhabitants, the effects of which can be seen in changes in fish populations along the river's gradient of decreasing metal concentration with distance from the mining source. Understanding the relationships between stressors and ecological responses is essential for management and restoration goals pertaining to ecosystems negatively affected by anthropogenic activities. This study analyzed population distribution of salmonid species based on long-term monitoring and recent …

Male And Female Interactions: A Multimodal Analysis Of Shonen Manga, Alexandria Perez Feb 2022

Male And Female Interactions: A Multimodal Analysis Of Shonen Manga, Alexandria Perez

The Montana English Journal

A qualitative multimodal content analysis of popular manga examined how female and male character interactions represented gender roles. An analytical tool was developed using multimodal, semiotic, social semiotic, gender, and feminist theories to understand representations of males and females in this popular media. This study showed that traditional gender norms are still present in manga, but there are some that break stereotypes. Also, in using both textual and visual elements to interpret multimodal texts, understanding of character interactions were enhanced because the intermodal interactions created new meaning. Implications suggest positive outlooks for manga being used as an educational tool by …
