- Abstract/Description

The current study is presented as an exploratory network analysis of personality psychology using a network composed of 54 source papers and their references. The articles used were papers from the Annual Review of Psychology journal, which dealt with the subject of personality, from 1950 to 2012. References from the source papers were pulled and then mapped onto a network that graphically illustrated the links between different citations. From the network it was possible to deduce, both...
Show moreThe current study is presented as an exploratory network analysis of personality psychology using a network composed of 54 source papers and their references. The articles used were papers from the Annual Review of Psychology journal, which dealt with the subject of personality, from 1950 to 2012. References from the source papers were pulled and then mapped onto a network that graphically illustrated the links between different citations. From the network it was possible to deduce, both visually and statistically, distinctively clustered communities, the relative influence of certain psychologists, and the researchers that bridged disciplinary gaps within the field of personality research. By using digital humanities methods such as network analysis it is possible to better understand and articulate the history and growth of personality psychology.

- Dooley, Connor, Holman, Mirya R.
- Abstract/Description
-
This study analyzes the effects of gender stereotypes on the perception of emotion in hypothetical political candidates. By presenting subjects with various combinations of emotional displays by both male and female candidates, we will be able to see if any gender stereotypes are primed or activated by these displays, and more importantly, the differences in perception of these displays based on the candidate’s gender. For example, if we present the subject with a male candidate who appears...
Show moreThis study analyzes the effects of gender stereotypes on the perception of emotion in hypothetical political candidates. By presenting subjects with various combinations of emotional displays by both male and female candidates, we will be able to see if any gender stereotypes are primed or activated by these displays, and more importantly, the differences in perception of these displays based on the candidate’s gender. For example, if we present the subject with a male candidate who appears aggressive and confrontational, will he be viewed the same way as a female candidate with the same characteristics? Will gender stereotypes cause the female candidate to be perceived more negatively than the male? Previous research has supported the idea that gender stereotypes will effect perception of candidates based on their gender, and this study will help to see if specific stereotypes are primed for application by the subject based on emotional displays.

- Synthesis of Podophyllotoxin Derivatives.
- Creator
- Flint, Madison, Roche, Stéphane P.
- Abstract/Description
-
Podophyllotoxin is a natural aryltetralin lignan compound isolated from plants within the genus Podophyllum. Podophyllotoxin has been under extensive biochemical investigation since the discovery of its biological activity as a strong microtubule destabilizing mitotic agent. Although these antineoplastic compounds have shown significant activity as cancerous cell growth inhibitors, they lack selectivity and are thus extremely toxic to healthy cells. This has led to a recent interest in the...
Show morePodophyllotoxin is a natural aryltetralin lignan compound isolated from plants within the genus Podophyllum. Podophyllotoxin has been under extensive biochemical investigation since the discovery of its biological activity as a strong microtubule destabilizing mitotic agent. Although these antineoplastic compounds have shown significant activity as cancerous cell growth inhibitors, they lack selectivity and are thus extremely toxic to healthy cells. This has led to a recent interest in the synthesis of Podophyllotoxin analogues in hopes of optimizing the biological selectivity and potency of these semi-synthetic derivatives. The objective of my research in the Roche group is to generate a library of these derivatives for subsequent biological assays to determine their potential as chemotherapeutic agents. In total I have synthesized 22 Podophyllotoxin analogues. Of these 22 derivatives, 14 have been biologically evaluated and 4 were observed to possess promising anti-cancer activity and are currently undergoing further evaluation.

- Synthesis of Complex Polycyclic Scaffolds Incorporating α-Amino Esters.
- Creator
- Zorc, Stephen A., Samanta, Shyam S., Roche, Stéphane P., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
- Abstract/Description
-
In order to keep up with the high demand for biologically active molecules, chemists devised several synthetic strategies to access novel chemical spaces. The two main strategies to construct new scaffolds are to revisit underexploited or forgotten reactions or to devise new transformations. We are exploring a unique and underexploited reaction, the Himbert–Henn cycloaddition, to produce complex molecular scaffolds in a single step (strategy 1). In a second novel approach, we are modifying...
Show moreIn order to keep up with the high demand for biologically active molecules, chemists devised several synthetic strategies to access novel chemical spaces. The two main strategies to construct new scaffolds are to revisit underexploited or forgotten reactions or to devise new transformations. We are exploring a unique and underexploited reaction, the Himbert–Henn cycloaddition, to produce complex molecular scaffolds in a single step (strategy 1). In a second novel approach, we are modifying the Hantzsch 4-component reaction (4CR) by incorporating an α-amino ester residue to construct new molecules (strategy 2). Both of these reactions have great potential to synthesize novel and chiral molecules from proteinogenic α-amino esters. These unprecedented and complex polycyclic molecules have potential application in medicinal chemistry and natural product synthesis. 4-aza-podophyllotoxins obtained by the Hantzsch-4CR have been proven to be potent as anti-leukemia, anti-colon cancer, and vascular disrupting agents (with nanomolar activity).

See Her is a found footage montage that identifies the issue of women’s representation in contemporary Hollywood film culture. It analyzes different ways that spectatorship develops through the division of the film into four sections of which three analyze film from the perspective of Laura Mulvey, Mary Ann Doane, and Linda Williams.

Show moreSee Her is a found footage montage that identifies the issue of women’s representation in contemporary Hollywood film culture. It analyzes different ways that spectatorship develops through the division of the film into four sections of which three analyze film from the perspective of Laura Mulvey, Mary Ann Doane, and Linda Williams. These three sections also approach the representation of women as a sociological issue of oppression as discussed by sociologist Patricia Hill Collins. The last section serves as a speculative vision of the future of female representation in Hollywood Film Culture. While this film is critical on the current state of representation, it presents hope for a more equal future.
