This research focused on optimizing the Belmont Electrochemical Analysis Research System (BEARS) circuit and Arduino program. BEARS is an inexpensive, ultra-sensitive electroanalytical system that has been programmed to run square wave and cyclic voltammetry in an electrochemical cell. Work was done to compact the voltammetry programs for different metal ions into libraries to reduce processing power required. …

Dbp5- VC Mutagenesis Screen to Identify the Nab2 Interface In eukaryotes such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae or budding yeast DNA is transcribed to mRNA (messenger RNA) in the nucleus. This mRNA then travels to the cytoplasm for translation with the help of RNA binding proteins such as Mex67, Nab2, and Mtr2. These RNA binding proteins are…

Pure Bacillus subtilis vs. Store-bought Bacillus subtilis Impact on Parkinson’s-Like Disease in Caenorhabditis elegans Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive degenerative neurological disorder linked with the death of dopaminergic neurons in the brain. A pathological hallmark of PD is aggregation of ⍺-synuclein protein. Interactions between the gut and the brain most likely play a role…

Synthesis of Vanadium Dioxide Thin Films using Sol-Gels Vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin films have promising applications in smart window technology for energy conservation and optical switches due to its semiconducting-to-metal phase transition at near room temperature. These films are usually fabricated using either a vapor deposition method or through chemical synthesis using one of several…
