Effects of pollen collected by honey bees from pollination dependent agricultural cropping systems on honey bee nutrition

Creator:: Topitzhofer, Ellen
Abstract:: Managed honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies are important pollinators of many cultivated crops. Honey bee colony declines averaging 30% annually in the United States for the past 7 years have caused significant concern and hence have been a topic of intensive investigation. These declines are reportedly due to multiple...

Little green baby steps : transforming modern power production through microscale hydropower

Creator:: Holderman, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Microscale hydropower, facilities that produce between 1 kW and 1 MW of power, has the potential to revolutionize modern power production. Unlike conventional large scale operations, these water supplies can be utilized with little impact on the environment. Hydropower per unit production can be very affordable compared to other renewable...

Ruminal Biodegradation of Heterocyclic Toxic Compounds

Creator:: Tanaree, Dan D.
Abstract:: Cyclic nitramines are a class of compounds that include most of the commonly used explosives today. These are among the most common toxicants released into the environment as a result of human activity, generated on military ranges, battlefields, and production sites. Of these, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5- triazine (RDX) is of particular interest,...

The role of the vertebral column during jumping in quadrupedal mammals

Creator:: Harty, Tyson H.
Abstract:: Little, if any, quantifications have been made on the contribution of the vertebral column during jumping in quadrupedal mammals. Previous studies of jumpers have focused on the morphological and physiological specializations of the hindlimbs. In this study, such specialization was measured during the supramaximal jumps of the Pacific jumping mouse...

Growth and carcass merit of purebred Jersey steer calves finished on grain-based diets at two different energy levels

Creator:: Tschida, Garrett L.
Abstract:: Purebred Jersey steers are often overlooked for beef production due to the perceived poor growth and production. Currently dairy persons marketing their steer offspring are receiving minimal compensation due to lack of demand by beef feeders and a saturated veal market. Twenty purebred Jersey steers were used to evaluate lifetime...

Plastome phylogenomics in the genus Pinus using massively parallel sequencing technology

Creator:: Parks, Matthew Benjamin
Abstract:: This thesis summarizes work completed over the previous four years primarily focusing on chloroplast phylogenomic inquiry into the genus Pinus and related Pinaceae outgroups using next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. During the time of our work, Illumina sequence read lengths have essentially been limited to 25 to 100 base pairs,...
