Biogeographic and experimental evidence for local scale dispersal limitation in central Panamanian forest birds

Creator:: Moore, Randall Phillips, 1965-
Abstract:: I examined the avian biogeography of the islands of Lago Gatun, Panama, in an effort to better understand the effects of forest fragmentation in this biodiverse region, and specifically to understand the importance of fragment isolation and the mechanism behind its effects on tropical bird distribution. I combined exhaustive surveys...

The effects of whole body vibration on bone recovery following hindlimb unloading of adult female rats

Creator:: Herron, Jacquelyn Camille
Abstract:: Introduction: A bone deficit is found to persist five years following a hip fracture and 10 years post tibial fracture in adults. We examined the effect of whole body vibration (Vib) as a means for enhancing whole body composition and bone recovery following hindlimb unloading (HU) of adult female rats....

Chronic exposure of rodents to indole-3-carbinol and 3,3'-diindolylmethane : implications for drug metabolism, chemoprevention and human health

Creator:: Leibelt, Dustin A.
Abstract:: Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a naturally occurring plant alkaloid, found in significant concentrations in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts. I3C is an unstable compound that undergoes rapid oligomerization in an acidic environment to form higher order condensation products (I3C-ACPs), such as 3-3'-diindolylmethane (DIM). Both I3C and DIM are...

Application of toxicogenomics to determine mechanism of tumor modulation by dietary indole phytochemicals in hepatocellular carcinoma

Creator:: Tilton, Susan C.
Abstract:: Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), a primary I3C derivative in vivo, are known chemopreventive agents available as dietary supplements. I3C was found to suppress or enhance tumors in several animal models. Chemoprotection is attributed to the ability of indoles to alter carcinogen metabolism effectively blocking initiation. However, mechanisms for enhancement...

Yeast protein release during fermentation and aging in a model wine

Creator:: Rowe, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: Yeast mannoproteins released during the process of aging wine on the yeast lees have been reported to make important contributions to wine quality. However, few mannoproteins have been identified in wine and their lifespan during aging is unknown. As a first step towards better understanding the contributions of yeast mannoproteins...

Hemoglobin adducts of the organophosphate insecticide azinphos-methyl

Creator:: Bailey, Bonnie J.
Abstract:: Reported here is an investigation to determine if azinphos-methyl (AZM), an organophosphate insecticide, adducts to hemoglobin, and if so, whether the hemoglobin adduct could be used as a quantitative marker of occupational AZM exposure. We hypothesized that AZM, or a metabolite of AZM, binds to hemoglobin in erythrocytes forming an...

Compost quality attributes, measurements and variability

Creator:: Sullivan, Dan M. and Miller, Robert O.
Abstract:: This chapter addresses compost quality specifications, chemical and physical properties of compost, evaluation of compost maturity and stability, and variability in compost analytical data.

A genetic algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with heterogeneous vehicles from multiple depots, allowing multiple visits

Creator:: Lim, Hyunpae
Abstract:: In the thesis, an application of a genetic algorithm (GA) is considered to solve the vehicle routing problem (VRP) which involves heterogeneous vehicles to serve known customer demands from multiple depots achieving the minimum delivery cost, where each customer must be satisfied by one or more visit(s), and each vehicle...

Impact of parameter variability on the food process engineering calculations required for safety, quality and shelf-life estimations

Creator:: Chotyakul, Nattaporn
Abstract:: Quantitative procedures were developed to determine the effect of variability in the model parameters required for the estimation of microbial shelflife and thermal processing time. Monte Carlo simulations combined with these predictive models were implemented in Microsoft Excel™. In the first study, predictive models were used for shelf-life predictions based...

Spatial and temporal variability of carbon dynamics in a tropical forest of Colombia

Creator:: Sierra, Carlos Alberto
Abstract:: Despite the importance of tropical forest ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, there have been few studies of carbon dynamics in this biome. The magnitude of carbon stocks in the tropics and their changes over time are poorly known since ground-based observations are lacking. In this study, total carbon stocks...
