What Works In Reskilling?, Brenden Bodily
What Works In Reskilling?, Brenden Bodily
Fall Student Research Symposium 2022
Economies and technologies shift rapidly, which at times leaves workers behind with skills that are no longer as relevant as they used to be. Employers may also have difficulty finding employees who have the skills needed to take advantage of these new technologies. The result is a skills gap, meaning that there are lots of job openings in specialized fields and plenty of people looking for work, but they are unable to find a job because they do not have the skills to work in industries that are hiring. For example, the IDC estimates that the global shortage of web …

Light Scattering From Periodic Conducting Nanostructures, Wesley Mills
Light Scattering From Periodic Conducting Nanostructures, Wesley Mills
Fall Student Research Symposium 2022
Carbon nanotube (CNT) forests are roughly vertically aligned carbon tubes with a diameter of a few nanometers, and a height of hundreds of micrometers. CNT forests of proper densities and heights can be excellent absorbers of visible light, so a lot of interest has been generated in their application in optical calibration, energy conversion, antireflection, and radiometry. Unfortunately, reflectance from CNTs rises quickly above the mid-infrared range, limiting their present use. Improving a CNT-based broadband absorber requires understanding why the forests have almost zero visible-light reflectance, as well as a strategy to extend that low reflectance into longer wavelengths. Since …

Mechanical Properties Of Hagfish Protein Hydrogels, Hayden Johns
Mechanical Properties Of Hagfish Protein Hydrogels, Hayden Johns
Fall Student Research Symposium 2022
Hagfish are ancient animals that eject a strong slime when attacked by predators. This slime is composed of intermediate filaments that contribute to its incredible strength.To defend against foes, the Navy launches plastic ropes into the propellors of enemy warships in order to decrease the thrust of motors. In an effort to find a more biodegradable solution, the utilization of hagfish slime has shown great promise in stopping propellors.We hope to understand how the slime withstands the impact of a quickly rotating propellor, while simultaneously reducing the propellor's thrust. What specific mechanical properties allow for this phenomena? From this research …

Expressing And Purifying Type Iv Crispr Accessory Proteins, Alivia Jolley
Fall Student Research Symposium 2022
CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats)-Cas (CRISPR-associated) adaptive immune systems defend bacteria and archaea against phages, plasmids, and other mobile genetic elements. Each Type IV CRISPR system contains a subtype-specific gene and is hypothesized to be essential for function. The Type IV-A system encodes ATP-dependent 5'-3' DNA helicase called CasDinG, while the Type IV-B systems encode a putative pyrophosphatase named CasCysH. Here we investigate the function of the type IV CRISPR systems by expressing, purifying, and characterizing the accessory proteins from the type IV systems. This project is a first step towards understanding the structure and mechanism of type …

Relationship Between Protein And Secondary Metabolite Content In Congeneric Tropical Shrubs, Anna Billings
Relationship Between Protein And Secondary Metabolite Content In Congeneric Tropical Shrubs, Anna Billings
Fall Student Research Symposium 2022
Secondary metabolites are important defensive compounds found in plants which deter pests and pathogens and play an important role in defending against herbivory and seed predation. The role of secondary metabolites in fruits is complex as plants must defend the costly fruits while also successfully attracting dispersers. Protein investment into fruits is costly for plants but can serve as a reward to dispersers. In this experiment, we examined the protein content of plant tissues and compared it with the secondary metabolite content. We extracted and measured protein content of leaf and fruit pulp tissues from 15 species of Psychotria (a …
