Simulations on Ferromagnetic Nanostructures
(2016-05-10)
Understanding domain wall (DW) motion in ferromagnetic nanostructures is crucial for realizing proposed magnetic data storage and logic devices. Simulations offer time-wise and cost-wise efficiency when testing theories ...
ESTIMATION OF IN VIVO FOLDING PARAMETERS OF A NATIVE ESCHERICHIA COLI PROTEIN USING A COMBINATION OF COMPUTATION AND IN VIVO EXPERIMENTS
(2016-05-13)
It has become increasingly clear that the process of proper protein folding in the cell cannot be taken for granted. In fact 20-30% of the cell’s volume contains biomacromolecules with proteins as the major component. A ...
Chasing the American Dream: W.E.B Du Bois, A. Philip Randolph and Booker T. Washington's Impact on the Civil Rights Movement and Citizenship, 1910-1966
(2016-06-27)
The question that will be addressed in this thesis is: what are the theories of African American advancement articulated by W.E.B Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, and A. Philip Randolph? How did their theories on education, ...
An Analysis of Regioregular Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) Using Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy
(2016-07-01)
There is a constant push for innovative applications of electronics. The traditional
materials used to construct these devices, such as inorganic silicon, are expensive
and brittle. Semiconducting conjugated polymers ...
Quantifying Changes in Heat Shock Protein Expression in a Drosophila Model of Neuronal Tauopathy
(2016-05-02)
Aggregation of misfolded, hyperphosphorylated tau protein is a hallmark of several etiologically diverse age-related neurodegenerative diseases called tauopathies, which include Picks’ disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and ...

(2016-06-01)
Kamala Khan is the new Ms. Marvel, a superhero with polymorphing, shape-shifting abilities. She is also a Muslim, Pakistani-American, high school student who loves playing videogames and writing fan fiction about the ...
An Open Wound: A Play about Memory, History, and Politics in Post-Dictatorship Argentina
(2016-06-06)
The “Proceso de Reorganización Nacional,” or the “Process of National Reorganization,” which took place in Argentina in the mid 1970s through 1983, resulted in the forced disappearance of approximately 30,000 people. Most ...
A Genetic Screen for Genes Involved in Tissue Remodeling
(2016-06-20)
Tissue remodeling is vital to the health of any multicellular organism. Drosophila melanogaster, which undergoes tissue remodeling during metamorphosis, provides an excellent model to study this process due to highly ...
