Second Derivative Excitation Emission Resolution (SEC DEER) Spectroscopy

Creator:: Rosene, Benjamin L.
Abstract:: Fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique due to bright signals that provide excellent measurement sensitivity. Many colors of fluorescent dyes are available to match the detection ranges of different equipments. Dyes can be chemically modified to bind to many different target analytes with high specificity1. Alternatively, sensors can be...

Reduced toxicity of benzethonium chloride to Escherichia coli through adsorption onto titanium dioxide nanoparticles

Creator:: Waldron, Kerri Raven
Abstract:: Antimicrobial agents are being increasingly used in consumer soaps and detergents, despite a lack of data demonstrating their efficacy in such products. This study investigated the nature of the interaction between different crystalline structures of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and BTC, and explore which structure, if any, could be best used...

Systematic Review of Prevalence, Risks, and Cultural Differences of Fractures and Falls Among Hispanic Communities

Creator:: Chitwood, Abigail
Abstract:: In the United States, falls are the leading cause of fractures and accidental death in the elderly; 70% of these fractures are women. Hispanic women account for a large population in the US, however data on falls and fractures for these women is lacking. The purpose of this systematic review...

Analysis of Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs) in Gray Whale Scat as an Alternative Method of Toxicant Quantification in Cetaceans

Creator:: Kutnerian, Amy M.
Abstract:: A method was developed to quantify organochlorine pesticides in whale scat. This method would ideally replace analysis of pesticides in blood and tissue samples, which are difficult to acquire. Scat samples were collected from one stranded gray whale and three live whales. The samples were extracted with pressurized liquid extraction,...

Effects of Estrogen Receptor Blockade on Skeletal Response to Alcohol in Ovariectomized Rats

Creator:: Wagner, Lindsay A.
Abstract:: Heavy alcohol consumption reduces peak bone mass in growing rodents and can lead to bone loss in both adult rats and humans. In contrast, moderate alcohol consumption appears to have a bone sparing effect in post-menopausal women. Alcohol has been reported to increase aromatase activity and influence estrogen receptor (ER)...

Toad Populations Decreasing in South Korea

Creator:: Chung, Yun Soo
Abstract:: Massive die-offs of Bufo bufo gargarizans were observed in May 2008 in Mangwal Gee, Korea. To find out the causes for this disaster several different elements were examined: pH, total nitrogen, dissolved oxygen (DO), and dissolved heavy metal, suspension, introduced species, habitat change, disease, temperature changes, and precipitation and humidity....

A robust Mycobacterium smegmatis Assay for the Discovery of Anti-tubercular Metabolites from Soil Bacteria

Creator:: Chen, Kathryn P
Abstract:: Tuberculosis (TB) is a pressing global health issue with approximately one third of the world’s population infected by this bacterium. As one of the most dangerous infectious diseases, it has killed approximately 1.7 million people of all ages around the world per year (World Health Organization, 2016). Currently, several drugs...

Bioactivity Screening and Gene Activation Strategies in Fungi

Creator:: Coddington, Nathan C.
Abstract:: Natural products from plants, bacteria, and fungi play an important role in society. Over the last 35 years, natural products and their derivatives have inspired over 60% of all FDA approved small-molecule drugs, and are among the top prescribed therapeutics.1-2 Fleming’s discovery of the fungal antibiotic penicillin started the “Golden...

Analysis of twentieth century apparel production compared to twenty-first century apparel production

Creator:: Baker, Kelly
Abstract:: Apparel fashion is a daily component of society that transcends generations and cultures. The purpose of my research was to analyze the garment structure and construction of two separate but comparable garments in style, function, and content - one from the 1910s and one from 2015. Using the New Brunswick...

Effect of Zero-and-Low Calorie Sweeteners on Retronasal Odor Enhancement

Creator:: Schenk, Erin E.
Abstract:: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between taste and odor through the phenomenon called retronasal odor enhancement by sweet taste. The specific sweet tastants used were zero or low calorie sweeteners. Experiment 1 used an aqueous model system where subjects sampled of vanilla solutions with and without five different...
