Council Vision
We envision a university community that reflects the population of Indiana and the nation with respect to students, faculty, support staff and administration and that transcends social and structural barriers to equality. We also envision a university community that understands what is necessary to achieve such a goal and appreciates why such a goal is beneficial.

Oxidation Reduction Reactions
Electron Transport
Oxidative Phosphorylation
During the catabolic reactions involved in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and fatty acid oxidation, high energy (reduced) NADH is formed and must be reoxidized or metabolism will come to a grinding halt due to lack of NAD+ .
Some NADH reoxidation occurs as a consequence of reductively driven biosyntheses (NADH NAD+)
RBC NADH is reoxidized by lactate dehydrogenase (Pyruvate + NADH + H+ NAD+ + Lactate)
Cytoplasmic NADH of other cells is also reoxidized (mainly) by transferring its reducing power as follows:
1. into mitochondria via substrate shuttles .
2. directly to integral flavoproteins of the inner mitochondrial membrane .
In the mitochondrial matrix NADH is oxidized by NADH dehydrogenase another integral protein of the inner membrane. Electrons (e-) arriving at dehydrogenases in the membrane are transferred to molecular oxygen via a series of electron transfer, or oxidation-redution reactions, much like electron flow through conventional electrical conductors or batterries..
During the course of these oxidation-reduction reactions the energy of the electrons is used to pump protons out of the mitochondria, into the cytosol, forming a transmembrane proton gradient. The energy stored in the proton gradient is subsequently used to make ATP by the process known as oxidative phosphorylation.
The material in this section aims to outline the following:
1. The role of mitochondria in disease
2. the energetics of basic electron transfer reactions.
3. the rea...

Do The Physically Disabled Receive Lighter Prison Sentences? Michael Lee McKean Indiana State University, McNair Scholars Program Abstract Results Introduction Methods Results (continued) Discussion Participants According to the U.S. Census Bureau an estimated 49.7 million people with a disability from the age of 5 and over lived in the United States in the year 2000 (Facts for Features) The number of people with a disability has increased significantly as members of the baby-boom population continue to age. Based on research by Bryan (2010) the U.S. Census Bureau reported that in 2005, 54.4 million persons had some level of disability (p. 94). This is an estimated increase of 4.7 million people in only 5 years. If trends continue about 1 million additional people will become disabled each year.
The “Kindness Norm”
Kleck (1968) first discovered the existence of a “Kindness Norm” when conducting a study which involved perceptions of the physically disabled. The actual document that discusses the methods Kleck used to discover this kindness norm was unable to be located. Elliot, MacNair, Yoder, and Byrne (1991) confirmed the existence of a kindness norm in their study which involved the viewing of a video in which a confederate was either disabled or non disabled and acting either depressed or in a socially acceptable manner. Affirming their predictions, they discovered that the disabled person, acting in a socially acceptable manner, received more positive cognitions t...

More opportunities. More choices.
Exciting opportunities await you the moment you step foot on the campus of Indiana State University. You can get involved in a myriad of campus organizations and clubscampus organizations and clubs. Engage in some friendly competition on the athletic field. Conduct research alongside our dedicated expert faculty.
Partner with community organizations.
Be challenged in the classroom. From day one, Indiana State students have more opportunities for involvement in such activities. Unlike other major universities, where students often do not have opportunities to get involved until their junior or senior year, our students are encouraged to participate in activities and volunteer for leadership roles during their very first semester. Are you up for the challenge? This is your chance.

0. Lead with crypto.
Assumption that secure stuff on the Internet is actually secure.
Is it? How many believe it is, or believe it isn’t? How many people use secure Internet sites? How many people think that factoring cannot in general be solved efficiently? How many people think that there are problems that can be solved in non-deterministic polynomial time that cannot be solved efficiently?
Then put up something relating all of those things.
Then let’s start at the end, and work our way back.
1. What is the P versus NP question?
If you can easily check a solution, does that mean you can easily /find/ the solution.
Example: can easily check factors multiply out, does that mean you can easily find the factors?
Implications: we assume factoring is hard, and that gives us RSA public-key encryption. If factoring not hard, then RSA breaks.
Example: can easily check a 3-coloring, does that mean you can easily find one?
Example: can easily check a proof, does that mean you can easily find one?
Implications: if can find proofs easily, then we can presumably solve the P versus NP question and any other mathematical problem for which there even is a “short” proof!
Example: finding a DNA sequence that best fits a collection of fragments of the sequence.
Example: finding Nash equilibriums in a number of environments.
Example: optimal scheduling and routing.
Clay Mathematics Institute problem.
2. What do we know about the problem?
Key Computer Science Idea: non-trivial algorithm...
