Undergraduate thesis arguing that the computational theory of mind is incorrect because it seems there are certain components of consciousness that cannot be reduced to physical processes.

Undergraduate thesis presenting a framework for a united African continent. The current international system has left Africa largely behind and a massive portion of Africa's issues such as territorial disputes are the result of Western influence and intervention. A philosophical normative idea is presented whereby those affected by its implementation can develop the methodologies and intricacies such a program requires and no claim should be made by an outside influence.

Undergraduate thesis exploring criticisms of patriarchy in women's captivity narratives by examining Mary Rowlandson's The Sovereignty and Goodness of God (1862) and Sarah Wakefield's Six Weeks in the Sioux Tepees: A Narrative of Indian Captivity (1862). Both used their socially acceptable roles in order to assert their own ideas regarding the patriarchy. The author concludes that both narratives therefore assert that patriarchal societies did not necessarily produce justice for English or American women who were a part of these societies, or for the Dakota Indians who lived in close contact with a patriarchal society.

Undergraduate thesis studying the cause of hypoxic induced bradycardia. The author used western blots analysis to determine the concentration of the cardiac sodium channel, Nav1.5 within embryonic American alligators at 70% and 90% development when incubation occurred in hypoxic conditions (10% O₂) and normoxic conditions (21% O₂).

Undergraduate thesis studying hypoxia by utilizing the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to test for the possibility of other cellular components in the genetic response to hypoxia survival. Through a forward genetic screen, the author isolated three potentially sensitive strains, and narrowed it to one strain that has reduced movement and developmental growth. The hope is to further characterize this mutant strain to discover a new part of the hypoxia cellular response in C. elegans.

Undergraduate thesis building on Feagan's (2007) analysis of ideas of community and place, and Kloppenburg et al.'s (1996) concept of foodsheds, and a modified form of drive-time polygons, termed 'marketsheds' that demarcate the consumer-draw area for farmers' markets. Specifically, the research analyzes the spatial distribution of local food communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex (DFW) in Texas and links the foodshed concept to elements of community and sense of place. Two questions guide this study: 1) What are the characteristics of the DFW local foods movement? 2) How do local food producers create and conceptualize community and place?

Undergraduate thesis studying the properties of amorphous silicon (⍺-Si) and crystalline silicon nanowires (c-Si NWs), focusing on the requirements placed on thin films by bolometers.

Undergraduate thesis with the initial attempt to validate the Attention Network Test (ANT) by comparing it to a thoroughly validated measure, the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metric (ANAM) battery. The author examines the validity of the ANT in order to confirm its use in both clinical and normal populations.

Undergraduate thesis investigating the rate of vertical transmission that takes place in wild Culex quinquefasciatus populations by testing samples of emergent Culex quinquefasciatus adults to see what number of mosquitos test positive for West Nile Virus (WNv) throughout the summer and fall, and thus estimate the rate of vertical transmission of the virus in wild mosquitos.

Undergraduate research thesis studying nanoparticles as a therapeutic approach in cancer-targeting drugs and their effects on mammals. The author hypothesizes that nanoparticles can make cancer-targeting drugs more effective. This thesis also includes the PowerPoint slides presented at UNT Scholar's Day.

Undergraduate thesis exploring how the economic collapse of Zimbabwe from 2000 to 2009 has been expressed in literature by Zimbabwean writers. It seeks to establish a connection between the strong-government controls of information in the media and the politicized nature of fiction during this period. It examines the nationalist narrative created by the Zimbabwean government and shows how the works of fiction of writers like Brian Chikwava and Petina Gappah have undermined this narrative by revealing parallel narratives that reveal the spin the government has put on society.

Undergraduate thesis examining the relationship between religious beliefs and an antisocial behavior outcome (revenge-seeking behaviors). The researchers hypothesized that those who are religiously committed would be less likely to act in an antisocial manner by declining the opportunity to take revenge against an ostensible offender.
