High hydrostatic pressure processing (HPP) is a nonthermal process in which foods are subjected to pressures in the range of 100-700 MPa at room temperatures or higher. HPP is effective in reducing microbial counts and enzyme activity. The ability of HPP to modify the functional properties of proteins has become...
This research addresses the complexities of White racial identity development in the lives of five elementary and middle school preservice teachers during their graduate teacher education program at a private Christian Pacific Northwestern university. Using a poststructural framework, this research investigated three questions: 1) How do the aspects of subjectivation...
This research sought to "get at" students' understandings of their own racial identity development. The limited degree with which participants have been heard and honored in research activities points to the need to inquire about their experiences first-hand, respect their stories, and consider their voices among, or in spite of,...
Effects of whey concentrate crystallization parameters of temperature, pH, and length of time of crystallization on lactose crystal forms and amount of lactose crystallized were investigated. Effect of crystallization parameters on freeze-dried powder quality was also investigated. Lactose crystal forms were observed in x-ray crystal diffraction patterns of freeze-dried whey...
In nature, animals survive threats by responding physiologically and behaviorally in ways that are appropriate to the situation. Which responses are appropriate depend on the animals' surroundings and current physiological and behavioral state. This dissertation investigated the neuroendocrine mechanisms that control context-dependent behavioral responses to stress by focusing on the...
The characteristics of an inhibitor of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV)
found in normal rainbow trout serum (RTS) were studied. The serum inhibitor had a
molecular weight of approximately 150 kDa and was dependent on divalent cations,
either Ca²⁺ or Mg²⁺. It was stable at temperatures up to 50°C and...
This study was conducted to investigate the student-to-student interactions that take place in an online community college course, and how the interactions impact an online learning community. The literature review revealed three related themes: (a) the impact of the teaching/learning environment on student interaction, (b) barriers in the online environment,...
