Evaluating The Impact Of K135t Mutation On Malate Dehydrogenase Kinetic Activity, Emily Frost, Kaitlyn Mello
Evaluating The Impact Of K135t Mutation On Malate Dehydrogenase Kinetic Activity, Emily Frost, Kaitlyn Mello
Undergraduate Research Symposium (2026- )
Malate Dehydrogenase (MDH) is a key protein in the citric acid cycle; its dysregulation can have catastrophic impacts, such as neurological and metabolic disorders, and various cancers. MDH catalyzes the reversible oxidation-reduction reaction between malate and oxaloacetate, also reducing NAD+ to NADH in the process. The citric acid cycle is one of the central metabolic pathways, connecting to other essential pathways, such as amino acid and fatty acid biosynthesis, highlighting the importance of understanding how MDH works. A key site in MDH is the flexible loop region (amino acids 119-137), responsible for substrate binding, catalysis, and orientation. The flexibility of …
Czts Nanoparticles As Cost Efficient Catalysts For Producing Green Hydrogen, Aidan Hau
Czts Nanoparticles As Cost Efficient Catalysts For Producing Green Hydrogen, Aidan Hau
Undergraduate Research Symposium (2026- )
Hydrogen gas is produced to be used as feedstock, fertilizer, and fuel. Traditional hydrogen production produces “gray hydrogen” in a process that uses and releases fossil fuels into the atmosphere. One way to produce “green” hydrogen is with renewable energy technologies that produce hydrogen gas using electrolysis without emitting fossil fuels. In electrolysis, the hydrogen atoms bonded to oxygen in a water molecule are split to produce hydrogen. A typical catalyst for this process would be a precious metal like palladium, which can be costly. In order to make green hydrogen production more affordable, an alternative catalyst composed of CZTS …
An Analysis Of Katsinam Figurines In The University's Gendler Collection, Sam Rekstad
An Analysis Of Katsinam Figurines In The University's Gendler Collection, Sam Rekstad
Undergraduate Research Symposium (2026- )
After a cultural shift in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Euro-American collectors and ethnologists took a significant interest in sacred indigenous objects such as the Hopi Katsinam figurines, which spurred transformations in the ways the figurines tended to be stylized, as well as in how they were circulated. Such figures were initially created solely for ritual and communal purposes, but in modern and contemporary times, they are often created by makers who identify themselves as artists. In this project, I study the history surrounding the creation and distribution of Katsina figurines and also examine selected Katsina figurines in …
Characterizing The Macroinvertebrate Community In Crissy Lake, An Impounded Reach Of The Pomme De Terre River, Prior To Channel Modification, Max Lundgren
Undergraduate Research Symposium (2026- )
The aging Crissy Lake Dam, on the Pomme de Terre River in Morris, has altered natural stream flow and impeded upstream passage of several fish species since 1939. In late 2026 the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will replace the dam with stone arch rapids and facilitate river channel formation upstream of the dam. In order to evaluate the river modification project, we characterized the macroinvertebrate community in Crissy Lake, the impoundment upstream of the dam before implementation of channel modification. In September 2025 we collected benthic macroinvertebrates from two sets of Ekman grab samples. We found 12 taxa (average …
Proline To Serine Mutation In Flexible Loop Region Of Malate Dehydrogenase, Anna Molstad, Hannah Robertson
Proline To Serine Mutation In Flexible Loop Region Of Malate Dehydrogenase, Anna Molstad, Hannah Robertson
Undergraduate Research Symposium (2026- )
Malate Dehydrogenase (MDH) is an essential enzyme that converts malate to oxaloacetate using the reduction of NAD+ to NADH. In humans, MDH plays a role in energy metabolism by catalyzing a key step of the citric acid cycle, important for energy production. Other indirect roles for MDH include gluconeogenesis and reoxidizing NADH from fatty-acid β-oxidation. An important feature of MDH is a flexible loop region that can alter substrate binding and enzyme activity, but its role is not well understood. Our study investigated how Pro123 to Ser (P123S) mutation in the flexible loop region affects MDH function. We hypothesized that …
Evaluating Differences In The Dynamic Growth Patterns Of Cvi And Ler Genetic Strains Of Arabidopsis During Seedling Establishment, Emily Frost
Undergraduate Research Symposium (2026- )
Seedling establishment is the process by which seedlings transition from depending on seed nutrients to making their own through photosynthesis. An important aspect is photomorphogenesis, the growth of plants in response to light, transitioning from rapid embryonic stem growth to a slower rate focused on root growth and leaf formation. The process is influenced by many genetic and environmental factors, making better characterization essential to understand plant development. For our research, we examined the dynamic growth of two Arabidopsis genetic strains (Cvi and Ler) over time in response to darkness, then to the change in response when light is introduced. …
Preferences For Working In Rural Health Facilities Among Trainee Health Workers In South Ethiopia Region Using A Discrete Choice Experiment, Abdela Hilo
Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day
The shortage of health workers in rural Ethiopia limits access to essential services and contributes to poor health outcomes, yet little evidence exists on which job incentives most effectively attract new graduates to underserved areas. This study aimed to identify the job preferences of graduating health science students and estimate the relative importance and cost-effectiveness of alternative incentive packages. We hypothesized that both financial and non-financial incentives would significantly influence willingness to accept rural postings. A discrete choice experiment was conducted among final-year students at Arba Minch Health Science College in South Ethiopia. Participants evaluated hypothetical rural job postings defined …

Association Between Distance From A Children’S Hospital And Time To Access Healthcare In Children Presenting With Rash., Rebekah Lassiter
Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day
Locations farther from a hospital may be under-resourced due to their geographic isolation and increased spread of resources, communities, physicians, medications, and health care settings. We hypothesize that pediatric patients, with EM- or EM-like rashes, from distant locations, will present with more severe illness, due to the lack of resources and specialists. We performed a retrospective chart review of all Emergency Department or inpatient encounters with an ICD-10 code of L51 between 01/2013 and 10/2022. Our primary outcome was the duration of symptoms. Secondary outcomes included visits with a primary care provider (PCP) prior to seeking hospital care. We used …

Reversible High-Grade Av Block In Cardiogenic Shock: A Case Report, Subin Paul
Reversible High-Grade Av Block In Cardiogenic Shock: A Case Report, Subin Paul
Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day
High-grade atrioventricular (AV) block is typically managed with permanent pacemaker implantation when not attributable to reversible causes. Current guidelines recommend permanent pacing for acquired second-degree Mobitz type II, high-grade, or third-degree AV block unless due to a reversible or physiologic cause. Inferior wall acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a well-recognized reversible cause of AV block that may resolve after revascularization. However, the reversibility of high-grade AV block in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) but without acute MI is not well described. We present a case of an 81-year-old man with end-stage renal disease and cardiomyopathy who developed high-grade AV …

Parental Conceptions On The Causes Of Neurodevelopmental Disorders In The United Arab Emirates, Mariam Mohammed Ali Aljaberi
Parental Conceptions On The Causes Of Neurodevelopmental Disorders In The United Arab Emirates, Mariam Mohammed Ali Aljaberi
Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses
When no verified causes are pinned to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), individuals construct their own beliefs based on their own context. Some studies aimed at unfolding these beliefs globally, yet a gap remained in examining this in the United Arab Emirates context. This study investigated Emirati parents' causal conceptions of NDDs across health, genetic, environmental, and religious domains between parents of children with disabilities and parents of typically developing children. This study implemented an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design, as the data was collected in two subsequent phases where the qualitative phase's exploratory findings informed the creation of the quantitative …

Mental Health Equity For Sexual And Gender Minority Students At A Rural University: Evidence From Etsu’S Healthy Minds Study, Richard Mutua Kilonzo
Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day
Universities nationwide are reporting rising psychological distress among students, yet inequities in mental health for sexual and gender minority (SGM) students—those whose sexual orientation or gender identity differs from the majority—remain poorly understood in rural settings. This project examines whether SGM students at a rural public university in Central Appalachia experience greater mental health burden, distinct barriers to care, and less affirming service environments than their non-SGM peers, testing the hypothesis that SGM students have both higher symptom levels and greater unmet need for care. Guided by Minority Stress Theory (which links stigma-related stressors to health outcomes) and a social–ecological …

Adsorption Of Perfluoroalkyl Substances On Bridged Functionalized Organosilica Materials, Elisha Kabutey
Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made molecules with extremely stable carbon-fluorine bonds. They persist in the environment, causing significant health problems in humans and animals through contamination of water, soil, and food. Existing adsorption methods for removing PFAS from water sources have limitations, including high production and regeneration costs, low removal efficiencies, and long processing times. The objective of this study was to address these limitations by creating a cost-effective bridged organosilica material for the removal of PFAS from contaminated water. The material was prepared by a sol-gel process from bis[3 (trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine without the addition of surfactants, bases, or …
