Fighting Gerrymandering by Automating Congressional Redistricting
Get PDFGerrymandering is a political problem that the United States has had for more than 200 years. Politicians have taken the dull and routine process of drawing congressional districts and turned it into a highly-partisan process. However, with recent improvements in redistricting algorithms, researchers Harry Levin and Sorelle Friedler have introduced their recursive Divide and Conquer Redistricting Algorithm. This algorithm has the potential to automate the process of congressional redistricting, thereby removing the potential for bias. By utilizing a set of partitioning and swapping algorithms, the Divide and Conquer Redistricting Algorithm achieves desirable goals, such as low population deviation, and high levels of compactness, as well as meeting all of the legal requirements needed for congressional districts
Synthesis of Benzophenone-\u3ci\u3eO\u3c/i\u3e-Glycosides under Basic Conditions
Get PDFType 2 diabetes is a growing health concern worldwide characterized by high blood sugar. Anti-diabetic therapy aims at correcting this sugar imbalance by inhibiting the enzyme α-glucosidase which is responsible for cleaving carbohydrates and starch into glucose. Benzophenone glycosides are a class of biomolecules with α-glucosidase inhibitory properties that have garnered some attention. It can be found and isolated from some traditional medicinal plants which was not done for this project. Once isolated, new derivatives can be synthesized by manipulating protecting groups of the starting material to get the benzophenone. The benzophenone can then undergo glycosylation with the protected sugar to get the penultimate benzophenone glycoside. This process can be monitored using TLC plates and the final product characterized using NMR and TLC. In lab glucose and galactose were used as the starting material and were reacted with the 2-hydroxybenzophenone and 2-hydroxy-4 methoxybenzophenone. TLC plates were then used to identify the fraction that contained both the spots for the sugar and benzophenone. This fraction could then be used in the NMR to confirm the presence of the coupling peaks in the C13 NMR as well as the correct ratio of peaks belonging to the sugar and benzophenone to confirm the sugar and benzophenone were successfully coupled.https://digitalcommons.morris.umn.edu/urs_2022/1002/thumbnail.jp
Someone Was Bound to Crack : Responses to the 1980s Farm Crisis
Get PDFThis paper examines gendered differences in how Minnesotan farmers attempted to maintain control over their lives during the 1980s farm crisis. Although left-wing activism, rightwing activism, religion, and suicide may seem like disparate responses, they all came from the same impulse to maintain control. These responses were highly influenced by community values, particularly the ideas that hard work would be rewarded and men should not show their emotions. Religion offered a sense of community and solace to farmers; activism – although a relatively rare response – offered solutions; and suicide offered an escape. Women found more comfort in religion than men, and men successfully attempted suicide at much higher rates than women
