Galloping Toward My Future: Bridging the Divide Between Communitcations and the Equine Industry
(2018-03-27)Communications is a little-known, but exceptionally important element of the equine industry. This summer, I made strides in combining my passions and bridging the divide between two potential career focuses in my role as ... -
The Galois Group of 8-Torsion Points on Elliptic Curves
(2017-07-05)In this paper, we explore the Galois group of 8-torsion points on elliptic curves over Q. In particular, we present algorithms that allow us to find the subgroup of GL2(Z/8Z) that best represents the 8-torsion group of a ... -
Garifuna Waguia
(2017-06-30)The Garifuna Nation is an afro-indigenous ethnic group that can be found throughout Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the island of St. Vincent. This project outlines the current status and community efforts ... -
Gender, Genre, and Looking in Motion: Dorothy Wordsworth & Mary Shelley’s Travel Writing
(2020-04-20)My project initially turns upon the question: how do we read unfixed texts that blur established genres and question these generic constructions of subjectivity, especially gendered subjectivity? I focus on travel writing ... -
A Gene Expression Study of the Alternatively Spliced b20 Gene in the Filarial Parasite Brugia malayi
(2011-02-16)Lymphatic filaraisis, a disease caused by the parasitic nematode Brugia malayi and transmitted by mosquitoes, infects approximately 130 million people in eighty-three countries in the tropical/sub-tropical belt. B. malayi ... -
Genetic Analysis of Non-Apoptotic Programmed Cell Death
(2017-06-26)Programmed cell death (PCD) serves a variety of key roles during development and homeostasis. In most cases, PCD occurs via apoptosis, a highly orchestrated process that is primarily dependent on the activity of caspase ... -
Genetic Analysis of Programmed Cell Death
(2021-05-14)The larval fat bodies of Drosophila melanogaster are responsible for storing energy from the larval feeding stages for use during pupal development. In most larval tissues, programmed cell death (PCD) is triggered by two ... -
Genetic Analysis of Tissue Remodeling and Lipid Storage in Drosophila melanogaster
(2020-07-06)Tissue remodeling has been used as a model to study cancer. It is also an important process during the development of Drosophila melanogaster. During D. melanogaster metamorphosis, which is the transition from the larva ... -
The Genetic Control of Fat Body Development and Function in Drosophila melanogaster
(2013-05-08)All living organisms struggle to maintain homeostasis. Organisms have evolved various mechanisms to be able to cope with any changes in temperature, pH or nutrient availability. Mammals, for example put a great amount of ... -
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 ... -
Genetics for fun - How to Improve Eyesight and my Adventurous Self
(2018-03-26)Breathtaking scenery, green as far as the eye can see, and horses in every field initially sparked my love for Ireland. My dream to travel to, and work in Ireland was realized this past summer when I received the opportunity ... -
Geology Underfoot - An Investigation of Jurassic Lacustrine Stratigraphy in the Lower Half of the Portland Formation on the Campus of Mount Holyoke College
(2022-07-01)During the summer of 2020, Mount Holyoke College commissioned a geothermal company to drill a 6-inch diameter, 800-foot-deep borehole on campus grounds to measure the geothermal potential of the underlying geology. Professor ... -
Geopolitics at Play: Trans and Intersex Athletes in Elite Sports
(2023-01-23)At the foundation of many iterations of the conversation around trans and intersex athletes in competitive sports, there is a common foundational understanding that there ‘must be a male winner and a female winner,’ thus ... -
George Eliot’s Romola: A Victorian Perspective on Renaissance Florence
(2017-06-30)Most of George Eliot’s novels were set in nineteenth-century England, but her vivid historical novel Romola – which places a well-educated female protagonist in Renaissance Florence – was an exception to this rule. Romola ... -
Gesture Elicitation for Image Editing
(2013-06-13)Natural User Interfaces (NUIs) represent one of the most important steps that computer scientists have taken towards shaping a more intuitive, more detached kind of interaction with the technological sphere. NUIs, which ... -
Getting Intimate with Law
(2015-08-24)Whenever you watch a legal drama on T.V., you are immediately drawn in by the glitz and glamour that accompanies the legal profession. It is suppose to be fun, economically fulfilling and absolutely perfect. Nonetheless, ... -
Glycoprotein Biogenesis: Optimization of N- Acetylglucosaminidase, Lysosomal Neuraminidase, and Protective Protein Cathepsin A Expression
(2011-05-12)Humans depend on lysosomal enzymes for proper macromolecular degradation. In their absence, lysosomal catabolism is impaired, leading to Lysosomal Storage Diseases (LSDs) (Meikle, 2003). LSDs are characterized by accumulations ...
