Deletion Mutants of Enhancer Binding Protein (EBP) Genes in Ralstonia Solanacearum
(2020)R. solanacearum is a gram-negative bacterium known to cause wilt disease in crops. σ54 (RpoN) is an important transcription regulator. EBPs play a critical role in σ54 dependent transcription of target genes (Bush and ... -
Designing new TCNJ general chemistry lab modules focused on student process skills
(2021)The progression of college-level chemistry education has transformed their focus with an emphasis on developing process skills in the general chemistry laboratory. However, the current general chemistry labs at TCNJ do not ... -
Designing tools to investigate the roles of hasp-2 and icp-1 in the regulation mode of meiosis
(2016)We are investigating the roles of hasp-2 and icp-1 genes in chromosomal segregation of meiosis in Caenorhabditis elegans. HASP-2 and ICP-1 are part of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), which is responsible for loss ... -
Detecting Calling Male Frogs above the Background Chorus Noise
(2015)In this project, we created a computer simulation to emulate the conditions of natural choruses and previous playback experiments performed in the field. We also created a training program to employ machine learning ... -
Determination of Optimum Surface Profile for Bond of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) to Concrete
(2014)The American Society of Civil Engineers has rated the infrastructure of the United States at a startling D+ and estimates that one in every nine bridges is structurally deficient. They also predict that by 2020, 3.6 million ... -
Determining the impacts of ocean acidification on the biochemical and mechanical properties of marine invertebrates
(2016)Ocean Acidification (OA) is a reduction in the ocean’s pH, as a result of accumulating levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. The break down of CO2 in an oceanic environment leads to decreased CaCO3 saturation states. In this ... -
Determining the Impacts of Salinity on the Biochemical and Mechanical Properties of Barnacles
(2015)We attempted to determine how varying salinity can impact the barnacle. We worked under the hypothesis that barnacles developed in higher and lower salinities than ambient conditions would display significantly lower shell ... -
Developing homogeneous organometallic catalysts for the hydrogenolysis of common polyolefins into high quality alkane products
(2021)Polyolefins are durable, heat-resistant, low-cost, nontoxic, single-use plastics, which makes them a fundamental material for sterile packaging, storage, and transport. They are formed by abundant and simple olefin ... -
Developing Outdoor Curricular Examples Through Socially-Relevant/Culturally-Situated Learning Activities In Engineering
(2019)The Bureau of Labor Statistics presented a projection in 2014 that the overall STEM employment would grow by 13% from 2012 to 2022—with occupations related to engineering and technology growing the fastest (Fayer, Lacey, ... -
Development of ASTM for testing composite tube samples
(2016)Fender systems are important in the protection of both vessels and bridge piers during potential vessel collisions. Bridge fenders absorb the large quantities of energy released during these impacts. The marine environment ... -
Development of Deposition Devices Using Electrostatic Force
(2015)During the 2015 MUSE program, a prototype of modular device was fabricated and tested and the design of the x-y stage system was completed. We also examined effects of multiple processing parameters on microsphere formation ... -
Diophantine Approximation via the ILLL Algorithm
(2020)We are studying the Iterated LLL algorithm (or ILLL algorithm) due to W. Bosma and I. Smeets. For a given list of irrational numbers, the ILLL algorithm returns a series of efficient rational approximations to the numbers. ... -
The direction of effects between depression symptoms and alcohol-related problems in college students
(2021)Depressive symptoms (DSs) and alcohol-related problems (ARPs) are highly correlated among college students (e.g., Merrill et al., 2014) and can result in worse treatment outcomes (e.g., Rohde et al., 2001), issues with ... -
Dirham Hoards from Medieval Western Eurasia, c. 700-c. 1100
(2015)The goal of our project was to work with Dr. Roman K. Kovalev in continuing to collect and catalog dirham hoards from the 7thto 11thcenturies found all across Eurasia in his decades-long project or catalog that was started ... -
Disclosing campus sexual assault to formal support systems increases posttraumatic stress symptoms due to more negative social reactions
(2021)One in five women experience campus sexual assault (CSA) at some point during college (Muehlenhard et al., 2017). Victims may disclose their CSA to formal or informal supports. Victims feel more comfortable reporting to ... -
Do elementary schools ignore physics?
(2021)Many secondary students claim that they have never learned physics, despite being currently enrolled in a physics class. The students were able to easily name and describe topics of biology but could name fewer for chemistry ... -
Drum Sphere
(2019)“Drum Sphere” is a hugely ambitious construction consists of 38 wooden and fiberglass drum shells attached in a spherical arrangement around a steel frame which is then suspended from the ceiling of an exhibition space. ...
