The residues of this taggant persist on skin and other objects and can be easily recovered for further analysis. The product has been effectively used in Europe as a crime deterrent and has been recently introduced in South Florida. In 2014, Fourt Lauderdale …
Tamed And Compatible Symplectic Forms On Four-Dimensional Almost Complex Lie Algebras, Andres Cubas
Tamed And Compatible Symplectic Forms On Four-Dimensional Almost Complex Lie Algebras, Andres Cubas
Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference
We are able to give a complete description of four-dimensional Lie algebras g which satisfy the tame-compatible question of Donaldson for all almost complex structures J on g are completely described. As a consequence, examples are given of (non-unimodular) four-dimensional Lie algebras with almost complex structures which are tamed but not compatible with symplectic forms.? Note that Donaldson asked his question for compact four-manifolds. In that context, the problem is still open, but it is believed that any tamed almost complex structure is in fact compatible with a symplectic form. In this presentation, I will define the basic objects involved …
Conformational Kinetics Study Of Mp-11 Using Tims-Ms And Molecular Dynamics, Christopher Harrilal, Jaroslava Miksovska, Emily R. Schenk
Conformational Kinetics Study Of Mp-11 Using Tims-Ms And Molecular Dynamics, Christopher Harrilal, Jaroslava Miksovska, Emily R. Schenk
Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference
In the present work, we studied the conformational kinetics of microperoxidase 11 (MP-11), a digest fragment of cytochrome C that contains 11 amino acids with a covalently attached heme group. In particular, a novel technique recently developed at FIU in collaboration with Bruker Daltonics Inc. combined with theoretical calculation was used for the characterization of MP- 11 conformational space [1-3]. Accurate ion-neutral collision cross sections were measured for all MP-11 generated charge states. Since MP-11 (like cytochrome C) undergoes conformational changes as a function of the solvent state, MP-11 ions were produced by electrospray ionization (ESI) in order to preserve …
Insight Into The Calmodulin And Dream Protein Complex Interaction, Mechanism And Function, Walter Gonzalez
Insight Into The Calmodulin And Dream Protein Complex Interaction, Mechanism And Function, Walter Gonzalez
Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference
DREAM (Downstream regulatory element antagonistic modulator) is a neuronal calcium sensor which has been shown to modulate gene expression as well as being involved in numerous neuronal processes. In this report, we show that association of calcium bound calmodulin (CaM) with DREAM is mediated by a short amphipathic amino acid sequence located between residues 29 and 44 on DREAM N-termini The association of CaM with a peptide analogous to DREAM(29-44) or to full length DREAM protein is calcium dependent with the dissociation constant of 136 nM and 3.4 ?M, respectively. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies show that the observed decrease in …

Expression And Purification Of 15n, 13clabeled Hmga2 For Nmr Structural Studies, Ashley Tschiggfrie, Roboan Guillen
Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference
The mammalian high mobility group protein AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) is a nuclear oncoprotein, and its abnormal expression is directly linked to tumorigenesis. The HMGA2 gene is located on the chromosomal bands 12q13-15. Rearrangement of these bands disrupts the normal functions of HMGA2 and causes the formation of benign tumors, such as lipomas, and malignant tumors, such as lung cancer. In this study, our objective was to make sufficient amounts of 15N-, 13C-labeled HMGA2 for NMR studies to obtain a high-resolution structure of HMGA2-DNA complexes. In order to label this protein, E. coli strain BLR(DE3), containing a plasmid expressing HMGA2, was …

Magical Science: Chemistry Magic Tricks Just For Fun! (Workshop), Regan L. Silvestri
Magical Science: Chemistry Magic Tricks Just For Fun! (Workshop), Regan L. Silvestri
Cleveland State University Regional Chemistry Teaching Symposium: March 12 & 13, 2015
Chemistry magic tricks are simply chemistry demonstrations cleverly performed, and are highly valuable for engaging and motivating students in the study of chemistry. Our agenda has been to adapt common chemistry demonstrations into presentations with clever twists, essentially turning them into magic tricks. This workshop will show how a science demonstration can be turned into a science magic trick simply by adapting the presentation. Science magic tricks provide a unique forum not only for expanding scientific knowledge, but moreover scientific interest. Our hope is that students will be engaged and motivated in the future study of chemistry.

P-24 Synthesis Of Arginine-Based Heterocyclic Amines, Andrew Stewart
P-24 Synthesis Of Arginine-Based Heterocyclic Amines, Andrew Stewart
Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs
Heterocyclic Amines (HCAs) are a group of mutagenic and carcinogenic chemicals found in muscle meat after grilling, frying, or broiling. Research studies show that very low amounts of HCAs are created from creatinine reacting with another amino acid at temperatures greater than 200 °C. Other studies show that plant-based arginine can substitute for creatine forming a new class of mutagenic HCAs, but also in low yields. We sought to develop a direct, higher yielding method of producing these arginine-HCAs based on a procedure previously used to synthesize creatine-HCAs. Greater amounts of arginine-HCA speeds analysis, chemical characterization, and toxicity assessment.
P-22 Hydroxyl Functional Group Number Determination Of Pamam Dendrimers With Nir-Spectroscopy, Seth Stacey
P-22 Hydroxyl Functional Group Number Determination Of Pamam Dendrimers With Nir-Spectroscopy, Seth Stacey
Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs
The goal of this project is to investigate the use of NIR-spectroscopy to quantify the number of OH functional groups attached to poly (amido amine) or PAMAM dendrimers in a manner that is quick, cost effective and easily reproducible. Obtaining the approximate number of hydroxyl functional groups (OH#) in a dendrimer is crucial in determining what role it can play in bonding and reactivity to other molecules. NIR-spectroscopy has the potential to allow for the recovery of the sample or at least to minimize the amount needed for analysis while providing an accurate determination of the OH# of a dendrimer.
A Hybrid Approach To Indoor Sensor Area Localization And Coverage, Mengmeng Gai
A Hybrid Approach To Indoor Sensor Area Localization And Coverage, Mengmeng Gai
UNO Student Research and Creative Activity Fair
This study presents a hybrid approach to indoor object detection and tracking. The test area is partitioned into regions that are covered by sensors placed on the ceilings. The approximate location of an object is determined by these sensors using RSSI. The region determination is then followed by localizing the exact location of the object using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the 3D stereo image measurements. To determine the coverage ratio of a region for better placement of sensors, the 3D space is partitioned into 2D planes whose coverage points are determined by a newly developed software product called LOCOPac. …

Session D-4: Particle Physics, Peter Dong
Session D-4: Particle Physics, Peter Dong
Professional Learning Day
Particle physics is generally seen as far too difficult, too abstract and mathematical, to teach at the high school level — which is a pity, since particle physics is most likely to get students interested in the subject (witness the response to the discovery of the Higgs boson). However, the day-to-day work of experimental particle physicists is remarkably understandable, even for high school students willing to do a little work. We will examine assignments given at IMSA in this vein, including a class-wide analysis that simulated the search for a super symmetric Higgs boson, and discuss how they worked. Attendees …
