Comparative Transcriptomic Study Between Cyanobacteria That Contain Chlorophyll D And Those That Lack Chlorophyll D, Fernanda Montoya
Comparative Transcriptomic Study Between Cyanobacteria That Contain Chlorophyll D And Those That Lack Chlorophyll D, Fernanda Montoya
Honors Capstones
All cyanobacteria, which perform oxygenic photosynthesis on Earth, contain the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll a (Chl a) that absorbs light in the violet and red region of the visible spectrum. Cyanobacteria of the Acaryochloris species, however, contain the rare photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll d (Chl d) that absorbs light in the far-red region. Chl d’s ability to absorb light in this region allows it to avoid competing with other photosynthetic organisms for light. Creating a photosystem that uses Chl d in plants would be of great use for agricultural land optimization, but requires knowledge of the biosynthetic pathways of …
Factors Affecting Time To Recovery: A Covid-19 Survival Analysis, Fernanda Montoya
Factors Affecting Time To Recovery: A Covid-19 Survival Analysis, Fernanda Montoya
Honors Capstones
This project is focused on the recovery rates of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 after different clinical trial drug treatments. Data for the clinical trial studied was obtained from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for the primary purpose of a survival analysis on patient time to recovery under a placebo and therapeutic drug treatment. Specifically, patients in this clinical trial were randomly selected to receive remdesivir, an antiviral drug, in combination with a placebo or baricitinib, a janus kinase inhibitor drug. Cox PH models were used to identify how the different treatment drugs affect time to recovery and …
Impact Of Public And Private Investments On Economic Growth Of Developing Countries, Faruque Ahamed
Impact Of Public And Private Investments On Economic Growth Of Developing Countries, Faruque Ahamed
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
This paper aims to study the impact of public and private investments on the economic growth of developing countries. The study uses panel data from 39 developing countries covering the periods 1990-2019. The study is based on the neoclassical growth models or exogenous growth models in which land, labor, capital accumulation, etc., and technology proved substantial for economic growth. The paper uses the impact on overall GDP growth and GDP per capita growth. The study used a mixed-effect regression model and a Bayesian logistic regression model to derive the findings. For private investments, domestic credit has a positive association, but …
The Role Of Health Expenditure On Health Outcomes: Evidence In West Africa Countries., Festus Efosa Eriamiatoe
The Role Of Health Expenditure On Health Outcomes: Evidence In West Africa Countries., Festus Efosa Eriamiatoe
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
This study investigates the role of health expenditure on health outcomes in West Africa countries. Using the Grossman theoretical framework, other variables that affect health outcomes were also examined. Sixteen countries of West Africa with yearly data spanning between the period of 19 years (2000-2019) was used in this study. The health outcomes examined include life expectancy and neonatal and under-5 mortality rates. The regressors used in the study include domestic government health expenditure per capita, domestic private health expenditure per capita, external health expenditure per capita, carbon-dioxide emission metric ton per capita, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), unemployment, GDP per …
Forecasting Bitcoin, Ethereum And Litecoin Prices Using Machine Learning, Sai Prabhu Jaligama
Forecasting Bitcoin, Ethereum And Litecoin Prices Using Machine Learning, Sai Prabhu Jaligama
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
This research aims to predict the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum using Time Series Modelling with daily data of closing price from 16th of October 2018 to 9th of September 2021for a total of 1073 days. Augmented Dickey Fuller test was first used to check stationarity of the time series, then two forecasting algorithms called ARIMA, and PROPHET were used to make predictions. The findings show similar results for both the models for each of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. The results achieved show modelling cryptocurrencies which are volatile using a single variable produces satisfying results.
