Susan Duval, Art History Faculty Mentor: Professor Frances Gage, Fine Arts Abstract Title: Art and Healing: A Leap of Faith? Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship Program Susan Duval will graduate with a B.A. in Art History in June 2013. After graduation, Susan plans to continue her study of art history and to obtain a curatorial or research position at a museum of Italian Renaissance art. Susan’s research project addressed the degree to which Italian painting of the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries was perceived to possess healing qualities. Susan conducted firsthand study of paintings in the churches and museums of Rome and Florence, from which she compiled a large database of images that addressed the subject of health and illness and that were meant to facilitate healing. In addition she produced an extensive paper, investigating the various healing mechanisms of religious paintings and landscape paintings, which she discovered offered divine protection to their beholders and/or soothed the mind and spirit through their aesthetic qualities. Valerie Fleischauer, Chemistry Faculty Mentor: Professor Jinseok Heo, Chemistry Abstract Title: Fabrication of Microwell Array For Studying Single Cell Volume Regulation Valerie is a Chemistry major expecting to graduate in Summer 2013. She plans to attend graduate school after obtaining her B.S. degree in Chemistry. Valerie’s summer research has been involved with developing single cell microwell array for studying cell volume regulation at single cell level. The development of this device is important for understanding the cell regulation mechanism better and more efficiently, which will help cure diseases caused by abnormal regulation of cell volume. She successfully fabricated the array using two different approaches that employed self-assembled monolayer of polystyrene microbeads and photolithograpy, respectively. Valerie’s results will be presented at a regional or national conference of the American Chemical Society. Alexander Ford, Dietetics Faculty Mentor: Professor Carol DeNysschen, Dietetics and Nutrition Abstract Title: The Physiological Effects of Gatorade Versus Diluted Fruit Juice During Exercise Alexander will graduate with a B.S. in Dietetics in May 2012. He is a member of the National Honor Society Phi Upsilon Omicron and was recognized for academic excellence at the 54th Annual Honors Convocation at Buffalo State College. Upon graduation, Alexander desires to attend graduate school at the University at Buffalo and attain a Master’s Degree in exercise science. Alexander’s ultimate goal is to conduct research in the areas of exercise and nutrition. For his research, Alexander designed formulas to achieve sodium and carbohydrate concentrations and selected and compared those thought to be most satisfying and tolerable to the participants. He also assisted participants with the exercise portion of the study. Alexander hopes to use this study as a foundation for future research that could lead to the development of alternative natural sports supplements. 21
22 Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship Program Elisabeth Gallant, Geology Faculty Mentor: Professor Bettina Martinez-Hackert, Earth Sciences and Science Education Abstract Title: Interpreting the Eruptive History of El Salvador’s Santa Ana (Ilamatepec) Volcano Though Detailed Stratigraphic Analysis of Pre-1904 Deposits Elisabeth will graduate with her B.A. in Geology in May 2012. Lis plans to obtain her Ph.D. and pursue a career as a volcanologist. Elisabeth’s research involved the analysis of volcanic ash deposit samples collected from the active Santa Ana volcano in El Salvador. She used general and scanning electron microscopy, a laser particle sizer, and various software programs to produce a detailed stratigraphic column of a section of this volcano. These data were used to evaluate the origins and eruption styles of volcanic ash and other eruptive materials. Elisabeth is co-author on a manuscript in preparation for submission to a volcanology journal. Lis presented her research at the American Geophysical Union’s fall meeting in San Francisco, CA in December 2011. Elisabeth was invited to present her research at the Council on Undergraduate Research’s “Posters on the Hill” session held in the Rayburn Senate Building in Washington, D.C. in April 2012. She was among 74 selected students out of over 850 submitted applications. Maxwell Hain, Geology Faculty Mentor: Professor Gary Solar, Earth Sciences and Science Education Abstract Title: Tourmaline In Relation To the Sebago Pluton Contact Zone In Sebago, Maine Maxwell Hain will graduate with a B.A. in Geology in May 2012. He plans to enter a Professional Science Masters program at the University of Arizona. Max’s research consisted of both fieldwork on rocks in southern Maine and subsequent laboratory work on his field data and collected specimens. As a result of his fieldwork, he produced a geological and specimen map of the northeastern boundary of the Sebago pluton, a 300 million year-old granite body, and in particular the occurrences of the mineral tourmaline in that context. Alongside other undergraduate students’ work on geological aspects of this granite pluton, Max’s results will be incorporated into a manuscript to be submitted in May for publication in the internationally recognized professional geology periodical the Journal of Petrology. Jaafar Hamdan, Biology Faculty Mentor: Professor I. Martha Skerrett, Biology Abstract Title: Water Permeability of Junctional Proteins In a Non-Junctional Membrane Jaafar will graduate with a B.A. in Biology with Departmental Honors in May 2012. He is planning to pursue a career in the field of medicine. Jaafar’s project involved the expression and analysis of junctional proteins in oocytes isolated from Xenopus laevis frogs. After obtaining plasmid DNA containing genes for the junctional proteins Cx26, Cx31, Cx32 and Cx43, Jaafar prepared RNA that was injected into Xenopus oocytes. Surprisingly, each protein enhanced water movement across the membrane of single oocytes. For comparison, a known water channel AQP1 was expressed.
