She is interested in pursuing her research interests in the Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. program at UC San Francisco beginning this fall.
Inhibiting the activity of resistance enzymes has proven to be an effective strategy in enzymes have not been developed. The AAC(6)-Ib enzyme modifies aminoglycoside combating antibiotic resistance. However, effective inhibitors for aminoglycoside modifying antibiotics, rendering them ineffective in many gram negative bacteria. To identify potential inhibitors of AAC(6)-Ib we used the molecular docking program Autodock Vina and commercially available compounds from the ChemBridge chemical library to screen for compounds that potentially bind to the aminoglycoside active site on the enzyme. We activity in-vitro. We used a colorimetric reaction to measure enzyme activity, and found that purchased the top twenty ranked compounds and analyzed their ability to inhibit AAC(6)-Ib
one of the twenty compounds exhibited significant levels of inhibition using kanamycin,
amikacin and tobramycin as substrates, separately. We repeated the docking analysis to
identify analogs of this inhibitor. Five out of ten analogs also showed significant inhibition. three aminoglycosides, and a non-competitive inhibitor of acetyl-coenzyme A. Our results
Dixon plots demonstrated that each of the inhibiting compounds is a competitive inhibitor of all show that molecular docking is a viable approach to selecting inhibitors of aminoglycoside modifying enzymes.

Everyone has a story to tell: users upload over 70 hours of footage a minute to YouTube to share with the world, Facebook and Twitter let consumers share their life stories in shortened formats and more reality shows appear each season than the previous year. Storytelling is one of the longest running human traditions and no one has capitalized on it more than Hollywood. Since its development in the early twentieth century, television has radically changed American culture socially, politically and economically. When news breaks, the family gathers around the television. Children learn their colors, alphabet and shapes from characters on their favorite shows. Television is one of the most powerful media, placing a large responsibility on those who enter the industry to perform well. For my project, I decided to step into the role of a television producer and see what it took to develop a show from the script to the screen. The first part discusses pre-production, including the writing of the script and casting. The second section covers the shoot and what it takes to successfully manage a team. The final part of the project reflects on postproduction and the qualities every television producer should embody. The experience gained with this project will prepare me for a professional career in television.

Communication serves as the prominent source of connection between humans. Society heavily relies on communication for information and understanding. Traditional media are the benchmark of information and news coverage. Whether it is the television, radio, or the newspaper, traditional media are regarded as the main source of information for society.
However, new forms of journalism rooted in public participation have dramatically created a power shift in the way public produces and consumes news. The Internet paired with social media and Citizen Journalism has become the medium for news content. New Media are fast to read. Through my research, Social media allow individuals to create their own news, and point, has social media become an important aspect of traditional media. My project will generate a deeper understanding of communication and society. It will examine the paced and allows information to be posted almost immediately for hundreds if not thousands also allow more voices to be heard with a variety of topics. I want to find out how, and at what implications, influences, and consequences of the growth of social media on its audiences and how it allows people to create importance for ideas.

Benjamins Buuelos: Colombian Style Pastries

Diana Hurtado will graduate Magna Cum Laude in December 2013 with a Bachelor of
Arts in International Business with concentration in Spanish. She attended CSUF as a transfer student from an accredited honors program institution. She is a member of the Latino Business Student Association, and actively participates in its gatherings. She is passionate about learning different languages and experiencing different cultures. She conducted her Senior Honors Project with the guidance of Dr. Atul Teckchandani, a professor in the Entrepreneurship department. For her project, she created a business plan for a Colombian style pastry. After college she intends to obtain a career opportunity in a multinational company to gain experience in the work field before pursuing her MBA.
Exective Summary When it comes to food, tradition tastes best. There is nothing like the taste of home, and a product that can bring home through its taste and its smell, becomes unique in a persons mind and heart. Benjamins buuelos do just that. Coming from a rich culture full of life and flavors, Bejamins passion and expertise has led the way to creating the best most typical Colombian pastries. Benjamins legacy now rests in the hands of his daughter Zoraida Pedroza.
Product Buuelos are deep-fried cheese bread pastries made with a combination of cheeses, corn starch, eggs, milk, and a small amount of other ingredients. Almojbanas are similar to buuelos, but their main difference is that these pastries are cooked inside the oven. Both pastries have a soft inside wrapped in a crunchy outside layer. Their flavor is slightly sweet, but they have predominantly cheese savor. Target market Our clients include Colombians, especially late thirties an older, because people from this age range have largely lived in Colombia during their childhood, allowing them the exposure to typical Colombian pastries. Our objective is to provide them the taste of home. Other main clients include Hispanics in South Orange County. Clients from South American descent who have tried our products have declared that our Colombian buuelos are the best because no other type of buuelo surpasses their perfect blend of cheeses, or their texture and consistency.
Marketing strategy The products will initially be sold at the Orange County Colombian Festival in Anaheim that will take place during the month of July. This festival presents an opportunity to promote the product to hundreds of Colombians and other Hispanics because the main reason people go to the festival is to celebrate Colombias culture and customs; therefore, people demand typical Colombian foods like buuelos and almojbanas.

Prior research suggests that emotions can influence childrens understanding of which events life while frightening events cannot (Carrick & Ramirez, 2012). One potential reason why can occur in real life. For example, children have reported that positive events can occur in real children respond this way may be how they perceive emotions and their sense of security.

Upon graduation he plans on entering a History PhD program with a concentration on Modern Germany.
There are few examples in the historical record that have been more important for the study of human brutality and coldness than the Holocaust. In the popular imagination Holocaust has been viewed as a cataclysmic, almost biblical, battle between good and evil. Authors like Hannah Arendt have challenged this. In her examination of the Adolf Eichmann trial, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, Arendt sees evil manifested not in the form of a monstrous murderer, but as an ordinary man. The goal of this project is to take Arendts observations on the banality of evil and to apply them to the study of good or altruism.
Those who saved others during the Holocaust have been memorialized and anomolized, but analysis over the last few decades in an effort to understand how an entire group of people level analysis.

The kinetics of copper and iron reductase on the surface of HepG2 and embryonic fibroblasts
Alex Nguyen will be graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from
California State University, Fullerton. Alex has been active in the honors program for four years. He has been active in his community volunteering at UCI medical center as well as working in Dr. Linders biochemistry research lab on campus. He has presented his research at the CSUPERB biotechnology conference in Anaheim, California. Under the mentorship of Dr. Linder, he is studying the kinetics of the reduction of both copper and iron in human hepG2 cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts. After graduation he intends to apply to medical school while working in the biotech or pharmaceutical industry. He would like to thank Dr. Jacobsen, the Linder lab, his friends and family for the support that they have shown him throughout his college career.
Copper is an essential trace element found in the body. Copper has good redox properties that make it an important cofactor in many redox reactions. When copper enters the body it is absorbed in the intestine and goes into the blood where it is picked up by plasma proteins. In order to be absorbed by the intestine the copper had to have been reduced to Cu (I) in order to use copper transporter 1 (CTR1) The main known transporter CTR1 or copper transporter 1 transports the copper from these plasma proteins into the cells in the Cu (I) state. Iron is also an important trace element in the body. It is in hemoglobin which transports oxygen around through the blood. The iron is also transported into the cells through divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) which requires iron in the Fe (II) state (the reduced state of iron). We hypothesize that there is reductase that occurs on the cell surface. To test this hypothesis enzyme assays and kinetic measurements of the rate of reduction of iron and copper were carried out on cultured cell lines of liver type hepatic cells and embryonic fibroblasts that do and do not have the copper uptake transporter, CTR1. This assay tracked the formation of Cu (I)- BCS colored complex which had copper in the reduced form and Fe(II)-ferrozine colored complex which has iron in the reduced form. Both cell types showed reductase activity on the surface of the cells for both iron and copper reduction. The hepG2 cells showed approximately three times more activity than the embryonic fibroblasts for copper reduction with vmax values of around. In the embryonic fibroblasts the copper reduction had a rate of about .33 nmol/min/mg cell protein and for iron reduction had a rate of about 0.08 nmol/min/mg cell protein. In the hepG2 cells the copper reduction had a rate of about 1.5 nmol/ min/mg cell protein and an iron reduction rate of about 0.22 nmol/min/mg cell protein. This data shows that the reductase activity is higher in hepG2 cell line and that there is a reductase on the surface of both cell lines.

Research has not fully investigated the role that power plays in predicting sexual infidelity. Infidelity has been continuously cited as a troublesome aspect affecting romantic relationships. The distinction between emotional and sexual infidelity is clear. As a result, sexual infidelity has been found to be regarded as the most detrimental since it may lead to the reproduction of offspring. Additionally, the subjective feeling of power can either be actual or perceived based continuum is anticipated to be reflected in individuals attitude towards sex. That is, the lowpower individuals are expected to have more stringent attitudes towards sex, whereas, the high-power individuals are expected to have less stringent attitudes towards sex. In order to further investigate this matter participants were administered a single survey The participants completed only one of the two versions depending on their current a low-power individual, or high-power individual. In addition, this low-power, high-power on the individual. Such individuals overall concept of power corresponds to them being either

attitude about sex. Some of these questions included statements such as currently I feel and I believe that sexual infidelity is always morally wrong. Furthermore, participants who were not in a relationship completed the second version, version B, of the survey questionnaire. This version was a correlational study.

An essential trace element, Manganese (Mn), is responsible for many enzymatic reactions in biological processes including superoxide dismutase that breaks down reactive oxygen species (ROS). Yet, the process by which Mn exerts its ROS scavenging (antioxidant) activity is not well developed. The model of organism, Caenarhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is used to address this is that Mn signals through DAF-16, a transcription factor that regulates stress response and issue by using proteomics to measure changes in protein abundance. The proposed hypothesis grown on nematode growth media (NGM) in the presence or absence of ionic manganese. Approximately 200 proteins (soluble and insoluble) were expressed at different levels in worms grown on Mn-enriched diet compared to normal diet in our three independent longevity in C. elegans.

After graduation, Amanda intends to enter the multisubject credential program at CSUF and teach before returning to get her Masters in Education.
In 2011, California passed the Fair Accurate Inclusive and Respectful (FAIR) Education Act, list of specific minority groups against which discriminatory practices in schools are which mandates the inclusion of Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) communities to the prohibited. Of particular interest for my work, FAIR states that LGBT roles and contributions be included in the Social Science Curriculum in elementary school classrooms. Thus far, however, actual changes to the curriculum have been slow to materialize. Current budgetary limitations instructional practices nor textbooks have been altered in any comprehensive or representative manner. It is quite clear that a lack of resources will only hamper Californias efforts to make substantive changes to the school curriculum; teachers with no official civil rights movement and continuing struggles for equality, bullying and anti-bullying resources for incorporating this information have been left with little recourse. In order to rectify these gaps, my research considers FAIR in relation to several equity narratives: the gay movements, and multicultural education. These findings are then used as a basis in the creation of a set of lesson plans for use in fifth or sixth grade classrooms in California. coupled with many teachers lack of familiarity with this new mandate have meant that neither

Engineering. He is a Deans Scholar in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, and received both the Outstanding Freshman Electrical Engineer and Outstanding Sophomore Electrical Engineer awards. He has been an intern in the electronics lab at Western Digital for nearly a year, and hopes to be brought on full time upon graduation. For his senior honors project, he implemented a real time digital audio effects system, which required optimization of digital filters for real time application. This project would not have been possible without the help of Dr. John Faller. Kyle is also designing a traction control system for the CSUF FSAE race car. He plans to finally take a break from school this summer with plans to further his education in the near future.
For my project I designed a real time digital audio effects system on a digital signal processing (DSP) specific microcontroller board. The overall function of the board is to take an input sound through the 3.5mm jack on the board, and output the sound with an audio effect added to it through the other 3.5mm jack. Effects include echo, reverberation, and chorus. A human to computer interface was designed using the boards push buttons and LCD screen, which allows the user to choose audio effects and in some cases the amount of the applied effect, e.g. length of echo. Audio effects were designed in stages. First, the physical model of the sound effect needed to be translated into a mathematical relationship, written in Matlab. The relationship (FIR) or infinite impulse response (IIR), depending on the effect. Ideally, we wanted our final these filters. Another concern was processing time. We set out to design a real time audio processing system, which didnt allow us to use extremely large filters, which tend to more

Sirene Helwani will graduate Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Cellular
and Developmental Biology. Aside from participating in the University Honors program, Sirene has been a member of the Student Health Profession Association, serves as the CCE Obstetrics Department Coordinator at the Foothill Presbyterian hospital, and was a supplemental instructor for cellular biology and organic chemistry. In the summer of 2012, she conducted research pertaining to methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains at Kings College London. The past two years, she has been working in Dr. Math Cuajungcos neurobiology research lab where her honors research project on studying the neurodegenerative disease, Mucolipidosis TypeIV, was carried out. She intends to pursue her passion for medicine and science by obtaining an M.D. degree. She would like to thank her family, friends, Dr. Math Cuajungco, Dr. Sean Walker, and the multiple staff members at CSUF for their strong support, guidance, and motivation to succeed.
