Certain benthic foraminifera thrive in marine sediments with low or undetectable oxygen. Potential survival avenues used by these supposedly aerobic protists include fermentation and anaerobic respiration, although details on their adaptive mechanisms remain elusive. To better understand the metabolic versatility of foraminifera, we studied two benthic species that thrive in oxygen-depleted marine sediments. Here we detail, via transcriptomics and metatranscriptomics, differential gene expression of Nonionella stella and Bolivina argentea, collected from Santa Barbara Basin, California, USA, in response to varied oxygenation and chemical amendments. Organelle-specific metabolic reconstructions revealed these two species utilize adaptable mitochondrial and peroxisomal metabolism. N. stella, most …

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type glioblastoma (GBM) has a dismal prognosis. A better understanding of tumor evolution holds the key to developing more effective treatment. Here we study GBM's natural evolutionary trajectory by using rare multifocal samples. We sequenced 61,062 single cells from eight multifocal IDH wild-type primary GBMs and defined a natural evolution signature (NES) of the tumor. We show that the NES significantly associates with the activation of transcription factors that regulate brain development, including MYBL2 and FOSL2. Hypoxia is involved in inducing NES transition potentially via activation of the HIF1A-FOSL2 axis. High-NES tumor cells could recruit and polarize …

Home, Greta Koshenina

Fall 2022 Showcase

Home is a documentary series of photographs that depicts the liminal space of one’s early twenties as they attempt to find where they belong. I explore these themes using three places I call home: my apartment, my parents’ house in Water Valley, Mississippi, and my boyfriend’s house across the street. The physical closeness of my boyfriend’s and parents’ homes allows these metaphors to come through in image. Is home where you grew up, where you spend the most time, where you keep your things, or where you feel most comfortable? Perhaps it is an amalgamation of all these, constantly evolving. …

Cross The Railroads, Fred Nettles

Fall 2022 Showcase

“Cross the Railroads” is inspired by a combination of things. Very recently, I learned that Clarksdale was considered a sundown town by many of its residents. On one side of the railroad tracks, the Black residents felt safe and were away from most of the violence; whereas, when the sun set across the tracks, Black people weren’t allowed on that side of town. When scouting the locations and analyzing the pictures in detail, I wanted to capture the entire essence of Clarksdale, Mississippi past, present and future.

Growing up as one of fourteen children in Conway, MS, Fredderick Nettles’ interest …

Roadtrip Religion, Caroline Nolte

Fall 2022 Showcase

This collection of photography is a documentation of something that I have taken notice of for a long time. My family lives in the Midwest, my friends live all over. I am always on the road. I have driven from Kansas to Florida, from Texas to Tennessee. I have long been fascinated with the strong religious, mostly Christian, imagery, signs and symbols that flank our highways. But it’s not just our highways, it’s our back roads, it’s our gas stations, it’s everywhere. As a cradle Catholic, I struggle between being in awe and being critical of these structures. What purpose …

4 Corners, Kaitlyn Steinroder

Fall 2022 Showcase

4 Corners is a photo exploration of the intersection of Molly Barr Road and North Lamar Boulevard in Oxford, Mississippi. This intersection is full of different people coming together to create a center full of food and community. With new construction and development happening just a stone’s throw from the intersection, I couldn’t help but wonder how this will affect the businesses and people that make this location what it is.

During lunches at the 4 corners, I observed people taking time to relax and connect in the middle of a gravel parking lot. With the addition of an authentic …

The Trouble With Farmouts: The Problem Of The Innocent, Nonperforming Farmee, Benjamin Idzik

Catholic University Law Review

The oil market is a volatile universe. The price of the commodity has a profound impact both on the national and global economies and on the lives of everyday consumers. Consider the high prices of 2022 compared with the record lows seen in 2020, the price of oil affects almost everything. The United States is one of the top oil producing nations in the world. The size and importance of the industry has led to a somewhat unique area of the legal practice known as oil and gas law. Among its many tenants is an instrument known as a farmout …

Distinct Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Receptors Dictate Stem Cell Fitness Versus Lineage Output In Dnmt3a-Mutant Clonal Hematopoiesis., Jennifer M. Sanmiguel, Elizabeth Eudy, Matthew A. Loberg, Kira Young, Jayna J. Mistry, Kristina D. Mujica, Logan S. Schwartz, Timothy M. Stearns, Grant A Challen, Jennifer J. Trowbridge

Faculty Research 2022

Clonal hematopoiesis resulting from the enhanced fitness of mutant hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) associates with both favorable and unfavorable health outcomes related to the types of mature mutant blood cells produced, but how this lineage output is regulated is unclear. Using a mouse model of a clonal hematopoiesis-associated mutation, DNMT3AR882/+ (Dnmt3aR878H/+), we found that aging-induced TNFα signaling promoted the selective advantage of mutant HSCs and stimulated the production of mutant B lymphoid cells. The genetic loss of the TNFα receptor TNFR1 ablated the selective advantage of mutant HSCs without altering their lineage output, whereas the loss of TNFR2 resulted in …

Nashville Transit Center, Ryan Plowman

[Archive] Belmont University Research Symposium (BURS)

Despite being a rapidly growing urban core, Nashville and Middle Tennessee as a whole has had little development in transportation to serve its citizens. Access to Nashville is ruled by automobile travel, limiting opportunities for work and affordable living. This is a sustainability issue as well, with motor vehicles accounting for a large portion of carbon emissions, due to the forced individualized commuter lifestyle. To remedy automobile congestion and carbon emission, this project examines the introduction of train, bus, and river taxi transportation to Nashville, with Lower Broadway as a host and center point. The building’s design expands on the …

The History Of The Enigma Machine, Jenna Siobhan Parkinson

History Publications

The history of the Enigma machine begins with the invention of the rotor-based cipher machine in 1915. Various models for rotor-based cipher machines were developed somewhat simultaneously in different parts of the world. However, the first documented rotor machine was developed by Dutch naval officers in 1915. Nonetheless, the Enigma machine was officially invented following the end of World War I by Arthur Scherbius in 1918 (Faint, 2016).

Demographic Groups Differ In Urban Recreational Behavior, Brandon Barlow

School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Urban recreational behavior is an essential component to understanding both how our recreational opportunities will be utilized and how they can be further improved. By improving recreational opportunities, we can ensure safe and reliable emotional and physical outlets for users. As urban areas continue to expand both in geographic area and in population size, urban recreational opportunities will also see growth in the number of recreational users. Demographics provide the opportunity to further understand and predict recreational behavior, producing a variety of decision management tools. Our goal was to understand differences in urban recreational behavior among demographic groups. To address …

Teacher And The Machine: Perceptions Of Computer-Generated Writing Feedback, Amanda Mackay

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

As technology has gradually been integrated more and more into classrooms, one technological tool has emerged: automated writing evaluators (AWE). These evaluators offer nearly-instant, computer-generated feedback for students' writing. Many teachers and school districts have required students to use these writing evaluators for their academic writing; they are often used to save teachers time and energy. However, in retrospect, do students feel that they have become better writers through using AWE? Do experts in the field of teaching English recommend the use of AWE? What may be the future of these evaluators in the classroom? In this study, we looked …
