Member of: FAU Undergraduate Student Research
Contributors: Kirke, Justin, Velez, Stephanie, Zhang, Xing-Hai
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: The purpose of this research was to analyze the regulatory
pattern of the PUN promoter in the expression
of a marker gene, β-glucoronidase (GUS), within regenerated
tobacco plants. The genes for neomycin
phosphotransferase (NPT II) and GUS were included
in the coding region of the Ti plasmid construct. The
NPTII gene drove antibiotic resistance and was used
to select and identify… more

Contributors: Kim, Mike, Linares, Natalia, Seo, Seokju
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: More than 1 trillion barrels of oil deposited worldwide
is heavy oil and natural bitumen. Due to their
high viscosity and high density, extraction efficiency
of heavy oil and bitumen from natural reservoirs
is known to be less than 5% with the conventional
primary recovery methods. To increase their recovery
efficiency, a technique, known as enhanced oil
recovery, has been developed using… more

Description: The black hole is one of the most interesting phenomena’s
that exist in our world, it’s said that the gravity
of a black hole is super strong that in can literally pull
anything including light, but the speed of the light
is said to be infinite because nothing in the known
physical form can actually stay in the form on reaching
the speed of light. That means that for the light
to be pulled… more

Contributors: Lee, Louis M., VanZwieten, James H.
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: The ocean currents off Florida are a renewable and
energy dense resource capable of providing Florida
with about 25% of its electricity needs. This current
is strongest at the sea surface and decreases
in strength with depth such that the individual rotor
blades on ocean current turbines (OCT) deployed to
harness this resource will operate in stronger currents
when positioned vertically… more

Description: Gopherus polyphemus (gopher tortoise) is a threatened
keystone species whose burrows benefit over
350 species. Surveys conducted throughout 2010-
2015 at Florida Atlantic University Preserve (FAUP)
have found an age gap of ten years and a lack of
nests. To update the demographic survey and to
examine the population’s reproduction and health,
we conducted burrow and nest surveys from May… more
