COMPARING LINOLEIC ACID CONTENT IN OILS STORED AT VARYING TEMPERATURES

Oils rich in linoleic acid have positive health affects in humans. Because linoleic acid can be degraded, it is important to determine how storage conditions lead to the break down of linoleic acid in dietary oils. The purpose of this research is to help determine proper storage conditions for dietary oils high in linoleic acid.

SPELLING AS A PREDICTOR OF READING COMPREHENSION: DOES SCORING METRIC MATTER?

The concurrent relationship between spelling and reading comprehension is explored using four metrics of scoring childrens’ spellings. It is hypothesized that metrics that account for partially correct spellings, specifically, those that utilize linguistic error analysis, will indicate a stronger relationship than a metric of overall accuracy.

DO CHEMOTHERAPY AGENTS FOR CANCER CAUSE MUSCLE LOSS AND WEAKNESS BY IMPAIRING MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION?

Chemotherapy causes muscle fatigue and loss of strength. Cardiolipin (CL), the hallmark phospholipid in mitochondrial membranes, is integral for proper cellular energy balance. My research investigates changes in CL structure modulated by enzyme ALCAT-1 in mice treated with chemotherapy. Future studies will further define this energy imbalance.
