Circularized Chromosomes In The Eukaryotic Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Blake Hoover, Milissa Mefford
Circularized Chromosomes In The Eukaryotic Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Blake Hoover, Milissa Mefford
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
When eukaryotes first evolved, a transition occurred from circular chromosomes to linear chromosomes. The ends of chromosome have protective caps comprised of DNA repeats called telomeres. Telomeres play key roles in two of the biggest problems in modern medicine: aging and cancer. As individuals age, telomeres shorten due to an inability to fully copy the chromosome ends during replication. In cancer, on the other hand, the enzyme telomerase is upregulated to maintain telomere length and allow the unending cellular proliferation characteristic of this disease. The goal of our work is to explore the evolution of chromosomes and unravel the roles …

A Multi Wavelength Study Of Pks2135 147, Parker Poulos, Dirk Grupe
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
I present a multi-wavelength study of the radio-loud quasar PKS2135-147, a variable source in X-ray and UV emission. First identified in 1966, this source is variable on the scale of months to years. X-ray and UV data from Swift are primarily used in this study, and this source has been observed by Swift since 2013. It can be seen that the variable emission from this source is primarily due to accretion rate fluctuations, though there are also contributions from the jet.

“We (Don’T) Talk About It”: Parent’S Dismissing Strategies And Teen’S Discomfort With Sadness And Anger, Hannah Daniels, Kathryn Gallenstein, Lauren Wright, Shari Kidwell
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
In recent years, greater attention has been paid towards teaching individuals to be mindful and accepting of negative emotions rather than pushing them away. Gottman, Fainsilber, & Katz (1997) described parents as emotion coaching if they treated the child’s feelings as important and an opportunity to teach about feelings. Emotion coaching has been associated with children having less anxiety, less anger, better social skills, and higher self-esteem. The present study hypothesizes that parent’s attitudes and behaviors towards their teen’s feelings will be correlated with their teen’s own acceptance and comfort with feelings. Specifically, in our study of 21 families, parents …

The Pitcher Is Throwing Heat: Preference Of Figurative Discourse In Athletes And Non Athletes, Lindsay Anderson, Lynn Haller
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
The use of metaphor is distinctive and evident in every day human language. Previously, we demonstrated that humans easily produce metaphors when prompted. The current investigation explored whether various populations preferred known sport metaphors versus the literal translation. Coaches and players often express their understanding and expectations of sports through non-literal language. Understanding this narrative is effective for athlete's comprehension is essential in improving a team or individual performance. Long ago, Ortony (1975) praised the effectiveness of figurative language as a communication tool. The current study uses those principles to investigate the use of metaphor's validity in a sport context. …

Effects Of The Coronavirus Pandemic On United States Custom Grain And Forage Harvesting’S Labor Supply And The 2020 Harvest, Dalton Black, Jason Holcomb
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
The global coronavirus pandemic disrupted migratory labor around the world, including foreign seasonal labor that travels to the United States to work in the mobile custom grain and forage harvesting industry that operates primarily in Great Plains states. The pandemic caused the United States to implement bans on travel from labor sending countries, and to delay the processing of the H-2A and J-1 visa nonimmigrant visas used by foreign custom grain and forage harvesting employees to enter the US. Many transnational workers were thus delayed or prevented from reporting for jobs that require training before harvest begins in April or …

Kentucky Soldiers At The Battles Of Frenchtown And The River Raisin Massacre, Christian Wright
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
Research on The War of 1812 has been sporadic over the last two hundred years. In spite of the two centuries which have passed, significant gaps in the scholarship remain. Most individuals recognize that Kentucky troops played a major role in the war, but their participation and the number of casualties they suffered remains speculative. American newspaper accounts of the period, written with an eye to sell more copies, may not be accurate as they historically over inflated the number of dead. At the same time, British accounts have a tendency to downplay the numbers of American troops involved for …
