Hit The Lights On Your Way Out, Ryan Zimmerman
Hit The Lights On Your Way Out, Ryan Zimmerman
Theses
Artifacts of industry remain scattered throughout the American rustbelt. A region built and reliant upon manufacturing, destined to fail when companies found themselves in jeopardy. Jobs came and went, businesses folded. What remains in their place are vacant factories, warehouses, and the workforce itself. This area of the country is where my life began and where I have found myself once again. Growing up in Erie, Pennsylvania, part of a family that endured this cycle of ups and downs, I have a certain familiarity and fondness for this post-industrial landscape and its inherent struggles. "Hit the Lights on Your Way …

Characterization And Proteolytic Maturation Of Head Proteins In A Giant Salmonella Virus, Aaron Scheuch
Characterization And Proteolytic Maturation Of Head Proteins In A Giant Salmonella Virus, Aaron Scheuch
Theses
Giant phages are of interest for biocontrol of pathogenic bacteria, however, there is limited knowledge about their biology. We study the Salmonella phage SPN3US to better understand virion structure and function. SPN3US has a contractile tail and a large T=27 icosahedral capsid that contains its 240-kb genome. Previous analyses showed the SPN3US virion is highly unusual because it contains >80 different proteins, a number that is highly unusual for a tailed phage. In addition, there is a mass (>40 MDa) of proteins ("ejection proteins") within the head that enter the Salmonella cell, possibly with roles in host takeover at …

Two Moons, Chuhan Peng
Two Moons, Chuhan Peng
Theses
People may think that they can better understand the world through convenient technology in this Internet age. The fact is that even though we can search almost everything on Google, we still live and are confined to a small world. What's worse, big smart data will provide you with "privately customized" information services based on your specific situation. People gradually become accustomed to a voice and are more inclined to think that the world is what they see. This has also led to the fact that people of different social classes and cultural environments may be very different, and they …

The New Negro Has No Fear, Abiose Spriggs
Theses
THE NEW NEGRO HAS NO FEAR, is the title of my thesis for my Master of Fine Arts candidacy. This body of work focuses on the heroic stature of Marcus Garvey and my contemporary reflection on the philosophy and principles of the UNIA (United Negro Improvement Association) and its founder. In my artwork I try to convey the story of Garvey and the UNIA by removing the figure and focusing more on simplistic yet timeless imagery like boats, chairs, cars and articles of clothing. In many paintings I explore the significance each object that is being depicted as pieces to …
Ambiguity, Rinoi Imada
Ambiguity, Rinoi Imada
Theses
Ambiguity explores the sense of ambiguous identity through conceptual investigations of glass and language structure. This body of work and thesis refer to my personal experience and scholarly research to observe transformation and transition of identity. My thesis considers glass as a phenomenal substance through its transformative materiality; my body of work reflects materiality of glass as an ephemeral identity of humanity. Utilizing glass as a transformative material, my body of work is the result of experimental art practices which are observations of photography, fusing glass techniques, live and site-specific gestures, and hotshop glass techniques.

Strategic Social Media For Small Congregations, Heather R. Sparkman
Strategic Social Media For Small Congregations, Heather R. Sparkman
Theses
Utilizing social media to draw and build a community of followers is the typical work of the modern Influencer and large organizations. But for a small church, using social media may seem like a wasteful or exasperating experience due to the sheer work that is involved in the enterprise and inconsistency brought on by a lack of strategic thought. The development of this assessment and philosophical metric focuses less on statistical metrics and more on stable principles that relate to values, context, and culture.

Elucidation Of The Cellular Mechanisms Underlying Missense Mutations In Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor Related Protein 6 (Lrp6) Associated With Cardiovascular Diseases, Huda Issa Samha
Theses
Low-density Lipoprotein Receptor Related Protein 6 (LRP6) is a member of the Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptors family (LDLRs) which is involved in the clearance of LDL from the bloodstream and the signaling of the canonical wingless signaling pathway. Several genetic variants in the LRP6 gene have been conclusively associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and metabolic syndrome. However, the structural and functional implications of those variations have not been fully elucidated. The CVD-associated LRP6 variants could be retained and possibly subjected to Endoplasmic Reticulum Associated Degradation (ERAD), a quality control and adaptive process employed by cells to eliminate misfolded proteins to maintain …
Immobilized Lipase On Zif For Enhanced Biofuel Production, Reem Mohammed Al Mansouri
Immobilized Lipase On Zif For Enhanced Biofuel Production, Reem Mohammed Al Mansouri
Theses
Enzymatic transesterification of triglycerides to produce biodiesel has been gaining increasing attention owing to its advantages over chemical processes. Being catalysts, enzymes are not consumed during the processes in which they are used. Therefore, a successful technique to allow their repeated use can significantly enhance the economic feasibility of the process. The most common approach to allow easy separation of the enzymes and to eliminate their wastage is immobilization on a support matrix. Recently, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have been suggested as preferable support for enzyme immobilization, owing to their high-order structure and high porosity and specific surface area. This thesis …
Among Us, Kaixin Chen
Among Us, Kaixin Chen
Theses
The networked society provides an extremely complex environment where we are free to swim, and to sink. In this thesis, I used different materials and forms to visualize this concept. The final work is a series of human faces floating from the water surface with steady gaze. Affected by the background of my sculpture and oil painting, I explored how to combine the two, and drew a 3D portrait, then completely transformed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, and produced a set of installations with repeated face elements. With the experience and emotional response to working three-dimensionally, I once again returned to …

Neural Network Models For Tcp - Syn Flood Denial Of Service Attack Detection With Source And Destination Anonymization, Sahil Anande
Theses
The Internet has become a necessity in today's digital world, and making it secure is a pressing concern. Hackers are investing ever-increasing efforts to compromise Internet nodes with novel techniques. According to Forbes, every minute, $ 2,900,000 is lost to cybercrime. A common cyber-attack is Denial of Service (DoS) or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which may bring a network to a standstill, and unless mitigated, network services could be halted for an extended period. The attack can occur at any layer of the OSI model. This thesis focuses on SYN Flood DoS/DDoS attacks, also known as TCP Flood …
