Mineralogical evidence of Peoria Loess addition to soils of the Green Bay Lobe
(2007)The purpose of this study is to demostrate the mineralogical evidence of loess addition to soils on the Green Bay Lobe surface. A comparison is made between properties of a soil with an obvious loess cap and a soil interpreted ... -
Using GIS to map the distribution of Peoria Loess on the Green Bay Lobe glacial surface in south-central Wisconsin
(2007)Mapping and analysis of digital soil survey data to understand the chronology, source and distribution of the loess layer of the Green Bay Lobe in south central Wisconsin. -
Parallel combinatorial reductive amination reactions: an expedient synthesis of tertiary amines
(2007)Describes an expedient access to N-alkylated tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQ) by reductive alkylation reactions in the presence of Ti(OiPr)4 and NaBH4. The N-alkylated THIQs were conveniently isolated by "catch and release" ... -
Calcium's effects on an Arabidopsis thaliana mutant
(2007)Examines the growth of CNGC2 mutant plants affected by calcium levels in environment. -
Characterization of circadian gene expression in Xenopus laevis
(2007)Examines when circadian gene expression is first observed in developing Xenopus laevis eyes. -
McCrone Micronising Mill methods
(2007)Micronising is the process of grinding larger particles (such as sand grains) into smaller particles. This is important because large particles are too thick to allow X-rays to penetrate to the particles core, thus not ... -
Exploration of photoinitiators in ionic liquids
(2007)Evaluates "the synthesis, utilization, and efficiency of photoinitiators in green solvents." -

(2007)Poster examines..."the economic and social mobility of free women of color in Spanish colonial New Orleans through an analysis of notarial documents, wills, acts, and marriage records. These records showed how free women ... -
Initial characterization of when a functional circadian system is present in the eye of Xenopus laevis
(2008)Almost all organisms present in nature exhibit a circadian rhythm, a 24 hour cycle in which the organism undergoes both physiological and behavioral changes based on the time of day. The circadian control of physiological ... -
The lost vision of Syrian Protestant College : origins of American University in Beirut

Mineral allignment in a northern Wisconsin shear zone
(2008)Plate tectonics causes rocks to move and change shape, sometimes they change shape without breaking, forming structures called ductile shear zone. The exact reason why certain rocks form shear zones as opposed to others ... -
Effects of caffeine and ibuprofen on the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana
(2009)Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are often released into the environment, even after wastewater treatment (e.g., application of biosolids and wastewater runoff) Two commonly consumed pharmaceuticals are ... -
The role of mindfulness in savoring beliefs and positive & negative affect
(2009)In the present study we investigated self-reported levels of mindfulness and its relation to both emotion regulation and mood. It was hypothesized that higher levels of mindfulness would be associated with reports of more ... -
Determination of habitat preference in two species of mice
(2009)Our lab decided to re-examine the question using new identification techniques based on PCR amplified mtDNA rather morphology. Both species are supposedly sympatric in Southeastern Wisconsin. Preliminary data showed ... -
The effects of caffeine and triclocarban on Gammarus pseudolimnaeus
(2009)The use of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) has become increasingly prevalent in the world in recent years. Over-the-counter pharmaceuticals such as aspirin and ibuprofen, prescription pharmaceuticals ... -
The benefits children and families gain by involvement in community gardens
(2010)This study will explore the significance of encouraging children and families to participate in outdoor activities such as joining a community garden. Gardening could be a beneficial approach to teaching children to become ... -
Characterization of the developmental stage at which the eye develops a mature circadian rhythm
(2010)Real time PCR is used to quantitatively measure the amount of RNA corresponding to our clock and output (clock-controlled) genes present at various times of the day. These amounts tell us the level of expression of specific ... -
