GAPDH is Determined to be a Useful Control Antibody for Studying Sickle Cell Disease in Livers
(College of Letters and Science, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, 2025-05-02)Using the Western blot procedure, a reliable control antibody was determined to be GAPDH when studying Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Three primary antibodies were tested for their consistency in determining protein concentration ... -
Holodomor Famine Commemoration and the Challenges of Developing a Shared National Identity in Post-Soviet Ukraine (1991-2023)
(College of Letters & Science, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, 2023-05-05)In this research project, I examine Ukraine’s struggle to develop a shared national identity after the fall of the Soviet Union. This project addresses Holodomor, an artificial famine from 1932-1933 that devastated Soviet ... -
How the Bridgetown Initiative is Changing the Way we Fight Climate Change
(College of Letters & Science, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, 2023-05-05)This project examines the Bridgetown Initiative, a policy designed to fight climate change and the debt crisis introduced by Mia Motley, the Prime Minister of Barbados at COP 27 in November 2022 (pictured in Figure 1). ... -
Hydrogen Production with Oxide Semiconductors
(College of Letters and Science, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, 2025-05-02)Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting can produce hydrogen gas as a means to store and transport renewable energy. One method of PEC water splitting uses n-type semiconductors made of metal oxides. We created oxide ... -
