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 ... -
Quantifying Chemotaxis in Escherichia coli and Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus Using A Flow-Based Microfluidic Device
(2014-02-03)Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a small, highly motile, predatory bacterium. It preys on a wide variety of gram-negative bacteria, including some human pathogens. As a result, Bdellovibrio has been proposed as a non-pharmaceutical ... -
Quantifying Physical Characteristics and Weathering of Bedrock in Relation to Landscape Development in the Colorado Front Range
(2012-06-07)Bedrock weathering is a fundamental component of critical zone geomorphology that can be influenced by rock strength, fracture spacing, mineralogy, and topoclimate. By quantifying rock strength, we can characterize bedrock ... -
Rationality and Moral Responsibility in Aesthetics
(2015-07-01)If I find aesthetic value in an image depicting violence, have I done something wrong? Am I at fault for finding the image aesthetically appealing? Is my enjoyment of this work immoral? These are the sort of questions this ... -
