b'Theories for Modeling String TheoryZachary Barton, Department of ChemistryFaculty Advisor: Thomas Manning, Department of ChemistryString Theory proposes that all particles are made from extremely small vibrating strings, and depending on their vibrations, the strings result in different fundamental particles. Here, I discuss some theories in regards to electromagnetic (EM) waves in relation to potential energy wells and EM waves interfering constructively and destructively and the effects of these interferences, including massive photons, gravitational and strong forces, and the orthogonality of the electric and magnetic fields in an EM wave.Crystallization of Copper-Albumin-Capreomycin for Mycobacterium tuberculosis StudiesAlana S. Hiers and Shatavia Smith, Department of Chemistry/HonorsFaculty Sponsor: Dr. Thomas Manning, Department of ChemistryT he point of this research project was to explore the rapid growth of drug resistant TB around the world and determine the molar ratios of Capreomycin to Bovine Serum Albumin to Copper that results in the most desirable crystal structure of Capreomycin. Drug resistant TB is a strain of the mycobacterium tuberculosis that has developed resistance to at least one of the front-line TB drugs. Capreomycin is a Tuberculosis drug that has several undesirable side effects, therefore it is only used in cases where front-line medications have proven ineffective.21'
