St. Norbert College The Forum 2023
Get PDFThe Undergraduate Research Forum highlights the valued tradition at St. Norbert College of collaboration taking place in laboratories, studios, and other scholarly or creative settings between our students and our faculty and staff, resulting in a rich array of scholarly research and creative work. This celebration features projects that evolved out of independent studies, directed research, class assignments, and casual interactions as well as formal collaborations supported by internal and external grant funding
Synthesis of Methacrylonitrile and Deuteriated Isotopologues of Thiophene and Furan
No full textMethacrylonitrile is an organic molecule that is believed to be present in the interstellar medium (ISM). Rotational spectra have been measured previously by the McMahon | Woods lab. In this project Methacrylonitrile was synthesized to extend the measured rotational spectra of the molecule from 360-500 GHz. Using this new mm-wave data, Methacrylonitrile will be searched for the ISM, and a highly precise and accurate semi-experimental equilibrium structure (reSE) will be determined for the molecule.Isotopically substituted analogs of furan and thiophene, two heterocycles, were also synthesized in this project. The deuteriated isotopologues of furan will be analyzed by rotational spectroscopy and used in the determination of an reSE structure for furan. Deuteriated isotopologues of thiophene will be used in formylation reactions and then analyzed by rotational spectroscopy for the creation of a complete reSE structure of 2-formylthiophene.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1110/thumbnail.jp
Expression and Dynamics of Planarian RPE-spondin Following Injury and Tissue Loss
No full textPlanarians have long fascinated scientists with their incredible capacity for regeneration. Following injury, the abundant population of stem cells in planarians undergo dynamic changes in proliferation rate and differentiation. One approach to better understanding the regeneration process in planarians is to identify genes showing dynamic expression following injury. Here we have used next-generation RNA sequencing to identify a gene, Smed-RPESP, that shows dynamic upregulation following various injuries and begin characterizing its requirementsduring the regeneration process. We found that Smed-RPESP could play a role in signaling the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells during tissue remodeling.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1108/thumbnail.jp
Prison + Neighborhood Arts / Education Project, Fall 2023, Imagining Human Rights Lecture Series
No full textThis lecture was a kick-off to the Imagining Human Rights series of events celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at St. Norbert College. Aaron Hughes and Pablo Mendoza, part of the Prison + Neighborhood Arts / Education Project (P+NAP), discussed their work with P+NAP and the Carving Out Rights project as well as their efforts to create a culture of human rights from below that engage people who are incarcerated with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This lecture is part of the Imagining Human Rights Programming Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Sponsored by the Cassandra Voss Center and the Art Department with additional support from the Humanities Division and the Norman Miller Center for Peace, Justice, & Public Understanding
Intercultural Ministry and Liturgical Celebration: An examination of pastoral ministry and liturgical praxis in light of inclusion, hospitality, and accompaniment within diverse faith communities
Get PDFHow can we create an authentic expression of worship that engenders inclusivity, intercultural, multigenerational, gender-LGBTQ+ inclusivity which celebrates the vision of Vatican II liturgical reforms and is representative of both the local gathered community and the global communion of the faithful
Eugenics and Torture at the End of Days: Resurrection, Restoration and Revenge
No full textFor many, the apocalypse is the time when everyone gets their just deserts: The good will be rewarded and the wicked will be punished, but there are hints in Christian scripture that no one quite knows what the process of being resurrected will be like. Moss’ lecture will explore how the aftermath of Judgment Day is a space where contemporary desires are projected and revenge fantasies are executed
