Synthesis of Novel Temozolomide Amides as Potential Anti-Glioblastoma Agents
Get PDFGlioblastoma is treated with Temozolomide (TMZ), a lipophilic alkylating drug that can cross the brain-blood barrier. To confront drug resistance, this research aimed to synthesize novel TMZ amide hybrids by using the acid chloride method, replacing an amino group with a primary amine. These novel hybrids were tested on U87-MG cells to determine if the primary amines with greater anticancer properties and lipophilicity have enhanced the drug\u27s anticancer activity and bioavailability. The calculated lethal concentration 50 (LC50) of the hybrids ranged from 0.005 mg/mL to 0.2258 mg/mL, with some demonstrating greater anticancer effects than TMZ itself
Reading Resistance into the Transformed Hero: An Excavation of Race and Gender Identity in The Aeneid and Its Adaptations
Get PDFMythology pervades numerous areas of our everyday lives whether we recognize it or not, providing material for the language of power that controls our society today. This calls for an interrogation into the racial and gender dynamics of a key classical Roman text, Vergil’s Aeneid, and its utility for alt-right and white supremacist political agenda in the contemporary era. Regardless of how we view classical literature and history and their relevance to our modern day political and social sphere, it is undeniably a dominant figure in conversations about race and gender, especially for alt-right movements of America and Europe who cite classical authors as authorities in their disturbing ideology. Their obsession is not without basis, as the study of classics as well as the material itself has a longstanding association with white status and masculinity. We see the “traditional values” of Greco-Roman society referenced in our everyday lives, from politicians’ tweets to discourse around border policies. Imagery of Greek heroes are used consistently by both left and right political movements—Vergil’s Aeneas is evoked in support of closed border policy as well as a proponent for refugees everywhere—showing the widespread influence these stories have on democracy built over centuries. Retellings of these myths in novel form for more general audiences have risen in popularity, and books like Ursula K. Le Guin’s Lavinia is an example of reanimation that enables conservative ideologies. Fighting unjust systems of power that find justification for their beliefs in antiquity requires critical reading skills, opposing shallow readings and seeking interpretations that promote collective activism out of literature
Solvability and Difficulty of the Snake Puzzle in the Cube and its Topological Variants
Get PDFA snake cube is a puzzle made by a sequence of n3 straight and turn pieces that can fold into a n x n x n cube. Solving the puzzle is comparable to the problem of finding a Hamiltonian path in the grid graph of the cube. By using computer algorithms, we find and count all sequences that are solutions. Furthermore, we can count the unique folding configurations of each sequence giving us an idea of its difficulty. Finally, we expand on this by exploring the problem in other topological variants of the cube, which sheds insight into the problem as we compare results from the different variants

Implementing Timothy Keller’s Center Church Principles: Transforming Your Church into a Center of Influence
Get PDFIn contemporary religious discourse, the concept of a church transcending its traditional role as a mere congregation to become a dynamic center of influence within its community has gained significant traction. This paradigm shift, often fueled by a desire to engage with societal issues and impact lives beyond the church walls, finds resonance in Timothy Keller’s Center Church: Doing Balanced, Gospel-Centered Ministry in Your City. Grounded in theological depth and practical wisdom, Keller presents a compelling framework for transforming churches into vibrant hubs of influence capable of effecting meaningful change in the world around them
