E-DEMOCRACY: FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS

Owens, Caleb (University of Delaware, 2020-05)

As developed democracies continue to digitize basic civic functions, such as voting, and as they increasingly explore and implement other “e-democratic” initiatives, fundamental and applied questions about these policies—and ...
Ecological Effects of Marsh Erosion on Benthic Communities at Pasture Point, Indian River Bay, DE

Huckins, Gail (University of Delaware, 2009-05)

Marsh erosion is an important natural process of sediment transport that can have detrimental effects on both human interests and the ecology of salt marshes, especially when exacerbated by human action. Thus, the quantitative ...
The Effect of Alien Plants on the Survival of Larval Lepidoptera

Tan, Milton (University of Delaware, 2009-05)

The proliferation of alien plants and their widespread replacement of native plants is predicted to negatively affect the insect community. Conservation biocontrol seeks to protect natural enemies, such as predators and ...
The Effect of CO₂ and HEPES on Bovine Neutrophil Migratory Function

Nebenhaus, Regan (University of Delaware, 2014-05)

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of incubation with CO₂ and HEPES on bovine neutrophil chemotaxis assays. On each sampling day, blood was collected from four lactating cows (4-163 days in milk; ...
Effect of FGFR and FAK Inhibitors on Glioma Cell Migration

Bhatti, Hamza (University of Delaware, 2013-05)

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most lethal of brain tumors, spreads rapidly in the brain. The mechanisms that promote extensive GBM cell migration are not completely known. The Galileo lab has shown that the neural ...
The Effect of Freeze-Thaw Cycles on the Mechancial Properties of Proton Exchange Membranes

Aten, Alex (University of Delaware, 2011-05)

Fuel cells could potentially provide a clean source of power for automotive uses. However, their durability needs to be increased in order to become commercially viable. A key component of increasing the durability of ...
The Effect of Habitat Fragmentation on Mesocarnivore Relative Abundance in an Urban Landscape

Schwenk, Kelsey (University of Delaware, 2014-05)

The objective of this study was to identify landscape variables associated with habitat fragmentation, which predicted the presence of mesocarnivores in urban landscapes. I used remote cameras to detect mesocarnivores ...
Effect of HIP/RPL29 absence on adult bone properties in mice

Sloofman, Laura (University of Delaware, 2010-05)

Ribosomal proteins (RPs) play an important role in the maintenance of a normal protein synthetic rate. Our group generated the first viable mouse mutant model lacking an individual ribosomal protein, HIP/RPL29. Decreased ...
THE EFFECT OF HYPOXIA ON THE EXPRESSION OF ISOCITRATE LYASE IN TETRAHYMENA THERMOPHILA

Rainey, Jessica (University of Delaware, 2020-05)

Tetrahymena thermophila are ciliates that live in freshwater environments. Little is known about their reaction to hypoxic stress. Hypoxia is thought to induce the glyoxylate cycle, a variant of the tricarboxylic acid ...
THE EFFECT OF IMPURITIES ON POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANE ELECTROLYZERS FOR IN-SITU ASTEROID HYDROGEN GENERATION

Kitson, Christopher (University of Delaware, 2018-05)

This thesis investigates the use of water electrolysis cells for possible use in asteroid mining applications and possible impurities the cell may encounter, with both theoretical and experimental aspects considered. To ...
The effect of landscape characteristics on mesocarnivore occupancy in forest fragments

Knauss, Devon (University of Delaware, 2013-05)

The objective of this study was to identify landscape characteristics which predict the presence of mesocarnivore species in forests fragmented by urban development. I used remote cameras to detect mesocarnivores in 21 ...
Effect of mdv1-miR-M4 and Related MicroRNAs On Expression of Innate Immune Response Genes In Chicken Embryo Fibroblasts

Cross, Michellle (University of Delaware, 2017-05)

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. Past studies have shown that Marek’s disease virus (MDV) has multiple miRNAs in its genome. MDV1-miR-M4 is a particularly important ...
The Effect of MicroRNA-31 on the small GTPase Arf6 and the role of Arf6 in Early Embryogenesis

Dumas, Megan (University of Delaware, 2013-05)

microRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding mRNAs that repress protein translation and/or mRNA degradation. Our lab has demonstrated that microRNAs are vital for early development. microRNA-31 is one of the most abundant ...
The Effect of Morphology in Block Copolymer Thin Films on Stem Cell Differentiation and Fate

Lewis, Ronald (University of Delaware, 2013-05)

Solvent annealing represents a versatile technique for self-assembly of block copolymer thin films. The following report highlights the practical functionality of this technique by describing a series of studies undertaken ...
THE EFFECT OF MUSCARINIC ACETLYCHOLINE ANTAGONISM ON VARIANTS OF CONTEXUAL FEAR CONDITIONING

Pinizzotto, Claudia (University of Delaware, 2020-05)

The current study focuses on two separate variants of Pavlovian fear conditioning: standard contextual fear conditioning (sCFC) and the Context Preexposure Facilitation Effect (CPFE). In both paradigms, the neutral CS is ...
Effect of Neonatal Alcohol Exposure on C-Fos Expression in Hippocampal Ca3 Followingexploration of Novel Context in Adolescence

Modlin, Samuel (University of Delaware, 2014-05)

In humans, developmental alcohol exposure (AE) results in a myriad of deficits across several domains of human functioning that persist across the lifespan of the afflicted individual. This issue warrants thorough study, ...
THE EFFECT OF OXIDATIVE STRESS ON THE ATTACHMENT OF METASTATIC PROSTATE CANCER CELLS TO HUMAN BONE MARROW ENDOTHELIAL CELLS

Marshall, Shannon (University of Delaware, 2017-05)

Prostate cancer (PCa) is both the most common and the third deadliest cancer among American men. Most of the mortality associated with PCa stems from metastasis of the cancer to bone (1,2), leading to my previous hypothesis ...
The effect of plantarflexion angle on landing mechanics using a within-subjects real-time feedback protocol

Rowley, Michael (University of Delaware, 2013-05)

The mechanics of landing play an important role in the ground reaction forces, joint forces, and joint moments thought to lead to injury in sport. The ankle joint’s role in shock absorption has been researched in many ...
The Effect of Prioritization in Information Processing

Park, Hyun-Young (2009-05)

When listening to messages from the mass media, we may find that certain facts grab our attention – perhaps because we find them especially relevant. It is likely that we will remember these facts, but how does their ...
THE EFFECT OF SONGS AND CHANTS WITH WORDS ON PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD

Engel, Emma (University of Delaware, 2020-05)

During the earliest years of life, a child’s music aptitude fluctuates based on the richness and diversity of musical experiences a child encounters (Gordon, 2012, 2013), while phonological awareness— the ability to ...
