The Nature Of Cofilin’S Severing Mechanism, Ethan Lester

The Yale Undergraduate Research Journal

Cofilin plays an essential role in regulating actin filament propagation through the cytoplasmic medium. Over the years, various studies have been conducted in an attempt to better understand the complex mechanism by which cofilin promotes filament severing and de-polymerization. Here, we have compiled information obtained from these studies in order to craft a more complete and succinct description of cofilin functionality. In particular, we review the precise structural and mechanical changes associated with cofilin-binding, and the subtle ways in which some of these structural changes may be interconnected.

Strong Inclination Pacing Of Climate In Late Triassic Low Latitudes Revealed By The Earth-Saturn Tilt Cycle, Miranda Margulis-Ohnuma, Jessica Whiteside, Paul Olsen

The Yale Undergraduate Research Journal

Gravitational interactions among masses in the solar system are recorded in Earth’s paleoclimate history because variations in the geometry of Earth’s orbit and axial orientation modulate insolation. However, astronomical models are unreliable before ~50 Ma due to the chaotic nature of the solar system and therefore must be constrained using geological observations. Here, we use environmental proxies from paleo-tropical Late Triassic lake deposits of the Newark Rift Basin to identify and tune to previously undescribed strong variations in orbital inclination. Tuning to the 173 kyr Earth-Saturn inclination cycle, theoretically stable due to the high mass of Saturn, reveals both other …

Metabolic Control Of Stem Cell Ageing And Longevity Through Caloric Restriction, Valerie Navarrete

The Yale Undergraduate Research Journal

While prior studies have identified recurring genetic patterns, gaps of knowledge still remain in existing aging mechanisms; where they originate, and how they offer insight to environmental disruptions that dictate health over time. Given the inescapability of age-related deterioration and pathology, stitching together current literature may help demystify the biological process common to all living mammals. The physiological disruption of aged tissue reflects a cellular dependence on environmental cues and historical wear. Retaining the capacity to differentiate into any cell type, a stem cell best parallels a call-and-response relationship between organ and cell. As the longest living proliferative cell in …

Examining The Viability Of Computational Psychiatry: Approaches Into The Future, Mitchell Ostrow

The Yale Undergraduate Research Journal

As modern medicine becomes increasingly personalized, psychiatry lags behind, using poorly-understood drugs and therapies to treat mental disorders. With the advent of methods that capture large quantities of data, such as genome-wide analyses or fMRI, machine learning (ML) approaches have become prominent in neuroscience. This is promising for studying the brain’s function, but perhaps more importantly, these techniques can potentially predict the onset of disorder and treatment response. Experimental approaches that use naive machine learning algorithms have dominated research in computational psychiatry over the past decade. In a critical review and analysis, I argue that biologically realistic approaches will be …

Analysis Of The Electronic Effects And Reactivity Of Benzhydrols In The Formation Of Benzhydryl Ethers, Katherine Quesada, Daniel Chabeda, Jaeger Johnson, Alex Shore

The Yale Undergraduate Research Journal

Benzhydryl ethers were synthesized through the use of microwave irradiation in a proto-ionic liquid solvent. The resulting products were separated from the reaction mixture by vacuum filtration with a silica gel plug. The products were analyzed using GCMS and 1 H NMR techniques to identify and quantify products. Analysis of the resultant data indicated the syntheses of the desired benzhydryl products were successful for 4,4-dimethoxybenzhydrol (conversion: 83% (1-propyl ether), 11% (2-propyl ether), 11% (menthyl ether)) and 4,4-dimethylbenzhydrol (conversion to desired product: 100% (1-propyl ether), 100% (2-propyl ether), 26% (menthyl ether)). However, the syntheses were unsuccessful for reactant 4,4-difluorobenzhydrol and benzhydrol. …

A Dispersive Force Model Of Caribbean Island Biogeography, Anthony Sarkiss

The Yale Undergraduate Research Journal

Framework-based models serve as an important tool to describe, predict and manage ecological systems. In this paper I construct one such model, a dispersive force model based on MacArthur and Wilson’s (1963) theory of island biogeography, in order to assess island species richness with varying climatic patterns. Specifically, I use island–mainland distance (d), insular area (A), a climatic dispersal parameter (f), and a climatic disturbance parameter (h) to calculate the insular species richness ratio at equilibrium. To test this model through hurricane impact on marine islands, it was executed with data from islands of the Dutch Caribbean. Future climatic conditions …

The Impact Of Hospital Concentration On Municipal Finances, Jarrett Bell

The Yale Undergraduate Research Journal

Since adoption of the Affordable Care Act, hospital concentration has increased across the country, with alarming implications for healthcare affordability. This paper finds evidence that hospital concentration is associated with increases in tax revenue and property tax revenue per capita within a city. The relationship between hospital concentration and taxes is strongest in cities with higher tax revenues, with higher nonprofit ownership shares, and that financially support their hospitals. This paper investigates two potential mechanisms through which hospital concentration may increase tax revenues within a city—specifically, the effect of concentration on changes in nonprofit or for-profit hospital ownership and the …

The Giant Under Salvini’S Feet: An Analysis Of La Lega, Samuel Landino

The Yale Undergraduate Research Journal

Matteo Salvini is the former Deputy Prime Minister, and former Minister of the Interior of Italy. Born in Milan, Salvini joined and quickly rose up the ranks of the Young Padanians Movement, a political youth group associated with the newly formed Lega Nord political party. Now, Salvini sits on the throne of La Lega, as the party’s secretary and chairman. Not only is Salvini the formal party leader, but he has also shown himself to be extremely popular on social media – using his Twitter account to rabble-rouse, organize, and grandstand. While Salvini’s xenophobic and anti-statist rhetoric is certainly worth …

The Value Of A Note: A Finding Aid Usability Study, Betts Coup

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

Finding aids have long been an essential part of archivists’ work. To create a finding aid is to create a surrogate of an archival collection. Multiple levels of description are used to distill information about the unique groupings and parts of a collection and to place its content into context. Archivists make decisions about what to include in a finding aid based on their own judgment as trained professionals, but also with the intent to create a finding aid that will be genuinely helpful to researchers. Indeed, as the revised principles of Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS) state: “Users …

The Economics Of The Covid-19 Pandemic In Poor Countries, Edward Miguel, Ahmed Mushfiq Mobarak

Discussion Papers

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended health and living standards around the world. This article provides an interim overview of these effects, with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Economists have explained how the pandemic is likely to have differential consequences for LMICs, and demand distinct policy responses, compared to rich countries. We survey the rapidly expanding body of empirical research that documents its many adverse economic and non-economic effects in terms of living standards, education, health, and gender equality, which appear to be unprecedented in depth and scale. We also review research on successful and failed policy …

Discussion Papers

Background: Mask usage remains low across many parts of the world during the COVID- 19 pandemic, and strategies to increase mask-wearing remain untested. Our objectives were to identify strategies that can persistently increase mask-wearing and assess the impact of increasing mask-wearing on symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Methods: We conducted a cluster-randomized trial of community-level mask promotion in rural Bangladesh from November 2020 to April 2021 (N=600 villages, N=342,126 adults). We cross-randomized mask promotion strategies at the village and household level, including cloth vs. surgical masks. All intervention arms received free masks, information on the importance of masking, role modeling by community …
