Abstract:: In this thesis we analyze a model for Kerr optical materials consisting of Maxwell's equations along with the dispersive Duffing model. We consider Duffing models with cubic and quintic polynomial nonlinearities. We assume a traveling wave solution to this nonlinear electromagnetic system and analyze it using the theory of dynamical...

Abstract:: Childhood obesity is an extensively research topic as it effects a large number of individuals and has serious consequences on those effected. Current statistics estimate roughly 17% of the youth population is now obese. However, the spread of these cases is not equally distributed. Certain populations are at increased risk...

Creator:: Patel, Ishan A.
Abstract:: When vessel walls within the vasculature are damaged, exposed extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins trigger a series of events that lead to the formation of a hemostatic plug (Andrews et al. 2004, Furie et al. 2008, Watson 2009). Thrombus formation requires an orchestrated series of receptor-mediated events facilitating platelet recruitment, platelet...

Abstract:: The consumption of alcohol has been shown to have effects on health that are both harmful and therapeutic, depending on the amount that is consumed. Alcohol’s effects can be damaging to the body in excess but, in moderation, can act as a protectant against certain conditions. The two studies discussed...

Abstract:: The United States is a global leader in agricultural productivity. Much of its productivity growth can be attributed to public investments in agricultural research and development, starting in the 19th century and continuing until today. Past studies have shown high returns to agricultural research investments, but publicly funded agricultural research...

Abstract:: In this study, pheromone and skin lipid samples collected from red-sided garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) were exposed directly to either full-spectrum light or full-spectrum plus UVB light. In addition, female and male snakes were exposed to daily doses of either full-spectrum or full-spectrum and UVB light, after which the...

Creator:: Mackaness, Cedar
Abstract:: Stream light availability is an important factor influencing aquatic food webs. In forested headwaters, stream algal production is often highly light-limited, so an increase in light enhances benthic algal growth, which in turn increases food availability for primary consumers in the stream. In forested headwater streams, light availability is almost...
