The Role Of The Cerebellum In The Zebra Finch Song Circuit, Matthew Gian Digiusto Jan 2011

The Role Of The Cerebellum In The Zebra Finch Song Circuit, Matthew Gian Digiusto

Honors Theses

The cerebellum was originally thought to be a brain area used just for motor coordination, but it is now known to play a role in complex cognition. Some of these complex roles include aspects of human speech such as rhyming, silent rehearsal, and timing of speech. There are many similarities between human speech and songbird song including a babbling stage, the necessity of a tutor to copy, and specialized neural structures for learning and production; however, it is not clear whether the cerebellum plays a similar role in the songbird song circuit. In this experiment I examined the role of …


Molecular Analysis Of Endophytic Bacteria Associated With Lettuce., Shelly Leigh Osborn Jan 2011

Molecular Analysis Of Endophytic Bacteria Associated With Lettuce., Shelly Leigh Osborn

Honors Theses

Bacteria associated with lettuce and spinach have been linked to outbreaks of infectious diseases in humans. While studies have examined the culturable bacteria residing on lettuce surfaces, few have evaluated the non-culturable bacteria within the plant. This study used molecular techniques to examine the bacterial community present in five different salad greens (green leaf lettuce, red leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, and baby spinach). Both conventionally and organically grown samples of each salad type were examined, and samples were processed as purchased and following surface sterilization. DNA was extracted from homogenized samples and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used …


An Analysis Of Culturable Bacteria Otained From Store Bought Leaf Vegetables, Kevin Christian Randolph Jan 2011

An Analysis Of Culturable Bacteria Otained From Store Bought Leaf Vegetables, Kevin Christian Randolph

Honors Theses

Samples of five different varieties of leaf vegetables obtained from a local supermarket were analyzed for the presence of bacteria on both the outside (epiphytic) and inside of the plant (endophytic). For each variety, both conventionally and organically cultivated samples were analyzed. Each sample was analyzed following a typical consumer wash (so detecting both epiphytic and endophytic bacteria), and also after being surface sterilized with 1:5 bleach solution (endophytic bacteria only). Viable counts on R2A and TSA agar suggested that the majority of the bacteria of leaf vegetables were epiphytic, and total numbers range from 10 To 10 CFU/g leaf …

Keeping Up Appearances: Analysis Of The Look-At-Me Generation, Sarah Rose Gardner Jan 2011

Keeping Up Appearances: Analysis Of The Look-At-Me Generation, Sarah Rose Gardner

Honors Theses

My thesis consists of a series of mixed media sculptures exaggeratedly depicting the affects of technology that allows humans to instantly communicate with one another, such as the social networking tool, Facebook. My works deal with the idea of a preoccupation with creating an image of oneself to project to other people. I wanted to explore how now with the ability to instantly update one another on what is happening in our everyday lives, every mundane detail becomes important and more important situations we deal with become less so. My work is similar to that of the artist Red Grooms …


Forecasting Cash Flows: A Comparison Of Prediction Models Within And Between Industries, Brooke N. Young, William Stammerjohan, Laurie Swinney Jan 2011

Forecasting Cash Flows: A Comparison Of Prediction Models Within And Between Industries, Brooke N. Young, William Stammerjohan, Laurie Swinney

Journal of Business, Industry, and Economics

Accurately predicting future cash flows is important for aiding executive, creditor, and investor decisions. This study compares the predictive ability of earnings and a continuum of cash flow measures within and between the petroleum, specialty retail, and high-tech industries. The results of our within-industry regression analysis indicate that current operating cash flows, calculated in accordance with Codification 230 (formerly SFAS 95), are a better predictor of subsequent operating cash flows than are other commonly used indicators, net income, net income plus depreciation, and working capital from operations. We also demonstrate conditions

Confucianism And The Modern East Asian, Paul Jennings Treutel Jan 2011

Confucianism And The Modern East Asian, Paul Jennings Treutel

Honors Theses

This thesis sought to measure “Confucianism” in China, Japan, and South Korea. To this end, a thorough investigation of possible methods to measure Confucianism and exactly what “Confucianism” means was conducted. AsiaBarometer’s 2006 survey data was chosen as the basis of the quantitative portion of this study. Survey questions deemed good measures of Confucian values were compiled into four indexes. These indexes were used as dependent variables in four separate regressions, controlling for such demographic variables as age, sex, geographic location, income, etc. The regression results and their interpretation showed a picture of Confucianism considerably different than that discussed by …
