Comparative Stamen Morphology Of The Ranunculaceae (Buttercup Family), Hannah Kay
Comparative Stamen Morphology Of The Ranunculaceae (Buttercup Family), Hannah Kay
Honors Theses
The Ranunculaceae family, also known as the Crowfoot or Buttercup family, consists of some forty genera (Gleason, 1952). The species of Ranunculaceae are most abundant in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and especially diverse in the eastern part of North America. Species living near the equator grow on high mountains in cool conditions. These plants are commonly found as herbs, but may also be found as shrubs or woody vines. Their structural variations create a myriad of distinct leaf types, petal types, flower configurations, stem growth patterns, and other morphological features. The focus of this project is on the …

Determination Of Baseline Microbial Biomass Of Tennessee River Gorge Surface Soils Through Chloroform Fumigation And Potassium Sulfate Extraction, Jill Burdette
Honors Theses
Levels of microbial biomass were determined for the A and B-horizons of four plots from the Tennessee River Gorge (TNG), establishing a baseline for future studies. The soils were divided into control and fumigated samples. The fumigated soils were flooded with chloroform, and the carbon was extracted from the control and fumigated soils and quantified through a reflux reaction and subsequent titration with ferrous ammonium sulfate. The extractable carbon was then used to determine the amount of biomass in the soil. The extractable carbon ranged from 62-90% higher in the A-horizon than B-horizon soils with the percent biomass from both …
The Effect Of Using Hemicellulase And Oxidase Successively As Pre-Bleaching Agents For Hardwood Kraft Pulp, Bryan R. Moore
The Effect Of Using Hemicellulase And Oxidase Successively As Pre-Bleaching Agents For Hardwood Kraft Pulp, Bryan R. Moore
Honors Theses
Environmental concerns have applied pressure on the paper industry to change many erstwhile processes that have traditionally remained unchallenged. One process in particular is pulp bleaching. Elemental chlorine, while effective in bleaching pulp and low in capital cost, is a major environmental threat because of the toxic chlorinated compounds and other dioxins that are generated in mill effluents. With increasing technology and demand, there has been much research devoted to the development of alternate bleaching sequences, whether Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF), which can use Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2), or Totally Chlorine Free (TC). THe wide acceptance of these bleaching …

Method For Identification Of Origins Of Replication And Genes Regulated By Dnaa In Bacteria, Olga G. Troyanskaya
Method For Identification Of Origins Of Replication And Genes Regulated By Dnaa In Bacteria, Olga G. Troyanskaya
Honors Theses
The study is focused on developing computer programs to identify origin of DNA replication based on analysis of total bacterial genomes, scoring regions for number of DnaA binding sites, AT content, DNA adenine methylase boxes, and integration host factors binding sites. The programs were tested on cyanobacterium Synechocystis, and several potential origins were identified. However, no one definite region could be located. Currently, software is being developed to analyze common motifs around the origins of all bacteria with known origins. Genes whose transcription could be regulated by DnaA were identified by searching for DnaA boxes preceding promoter regions.
Establishing A Link Between Mapk Pathways And Hormones Signal Transduction In Plants, Marc Meulener
Establishing A Link Between Mapk Pathways And Hormones Signal Transduction In Plants, Marc Meulener
Honors Theses
Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathways are ubiquitous among eukaryotes, and are involved in the transduction of various extracellular signals. In mammals, three MAPK pathways have been identified, two of these respond to stress, and one can stimulate growth and differentiation. MAPKs have also been found in plants, and it has been suggested that a MAPK pathway may be involved in the signal transduction of auxin and cytokinin, two plant hormones that stimulate growth and differentiation. However, at this time, there is no conclusive evidence supporting this hypothesis. By studying the effect ofMAPKK's of both plant and animal origin in …

The Effect Of Different Warm-Downs On Heart Rate Recovery And Muscular Lactic Acid Removal, Alison Jean Perkins
The Effect Of Different Warm-Downs On Heart Rate Recovery And Muscular Lactic Acid Removal, Alison Jean Perkins
Honors Theses
Competitive swimmers and coaches have had varying ideas about what exercises constitute an appropriate warm-down. However, there is much agreement about what a warm-down should achieve. A good warm-down should do three things. First, a warm-down should be successful in returning the swimmer's elevated heart rate to the resting heart rate level in a relatively short period of time. Second, the warm-down should flush lactic acid out of the muscles as quickly as possible, and restore blood lactate to baseline levels. Finally the warm-down should contribute to improved athletic performances.
In this experiment, it was expected that a decreasing intensity …
