Protection of Nitrosomonas europaea from Silver Nanoparticle-Induced Inhibition through a Two-Step, Magnesium-Facilitated Mechanism

Creator:: Anderson, Joseph W.
Abstract:: The inhibitory effects of (Ag⁺) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NP) 3-5 nm in diameter (stabilized with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)) and 20 nm (stabilized with citrate) on nitrification rates of the model ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) Nitrosomonas europaea were investigated. Experimental solutions contained HEPES buffer and ammonia (NH₃) in the presence and absence...

Characterization and application of PEO-containing triblock copolymer surfactants

Creator:: Snider, Joshua L.
Abstract:: The action of pendant, polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush layers as nonfouling coatings for biomedical materials is well understood. However progress toward clinical application of stable, high density PEO coatings has historically been impeded by the lack of cost effective, noninvasive methods for their preparation. Triblock polymers featuring a hydrophobic, polypropylene...

Dashboard Effectiveness is More Complex than Key Performance Indicators: Feedback mechanisms are the foundation of dashboard success

Creator:: Beeks, Kameron P.
Abstract:: This thesis serves as a literature review of dashboards that calls for further research in the area of Feedback Mechanisms (FMs). A dashboard, for the purposes of this paper is a display used to provide performance feedback to a user. An FM is the mechanism used in a dashboard to...

Examining the Human Relevance of a New Mouse Model of ALS and Observations on the Incidence in Human Populations

Creator:: Winkenbach, Lindsay
Abstract:: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a relatively rare neurodegenerative disorder that is fatal 2-4 years after the onset of the disease. Population studies are being done in order to help reveal candidates for further studies of disease etiology, disease progression, as well as to further understand racial and ethnic variations....

Molecular Origins of Recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII)

Creator:: Tadehara, Katherine M.
Abstract:: The capability of Pluronic® F68 to stabilize human recombinant Factor VIII in solution was assessed using zeta potential measurements. Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder in which the body is missing Factor VIII (FVIII) from the blood coagulation cascade. The pharmaceutical industry developed recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII), the largest cloned...

Adaptation of a Self-Implemented HIV Test Among Adolescent Youth in Tanzania

Creator:: Huun, Cassidy
Abstract:: HIV testing among high risk adolescents in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania is challenging due to poor access to test sites and AIDS-related social stigma. We adapted the OraQuick HIV Test, a self-implemented test (SIT), for low literacy youth with no internet access. To compensate for poor literacy, a picture instruction...

The Parochialism of Instrumental Science

Creator:: Southall, Ketchetwahmeegwun Tecumseh
Abstract:: With the continual growth of scientific knowledge and ever-increasing arguments for science as the end-all “objective” system of knowledge, a severe criticism and analysis of science and its history is direly needed. Within this paper, I use the work of Max Horkheimer, the Frankfurt School, Martin Buber, and others to...

Quantification of fibrinogen adsorption to nisin-loaded polyethylene oxide layers

Creator:: Auxier, Julie A.
Abstract:: Antimicrobial coatings used to reduce the risk of infection caused by tissue-contacting medical devices must address specific biocompatibility requirements including prevention of thrombosis and rise of bacterial resistance. An antimicrobial-loaded poly(ethylene-oxide) (PEO) coating has been tentatively shown to be non-fouling with sustained antimicrobial activity. However, the presence of the antimicrobial,...

Geographic variation in the seed mycobiome of Coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii)

Creator:: Bergmann, Gillian E.
Abstract:: Seeds are an essential component of plant life histories, and seed endophytes have the potential to influence germination, seedling establishment and development. That said, seed endophytes are a relatively new area of study, both in the factors that influence which taxa are present and how these microbes alter plant function....

Perceptions of Sexual Health Websites by Low Income Urban African American Youth and Service Providers

Creator:: Williams, Dacia R.
Abstract:: Low-Income urban African American (LIU-AA) youth are at high risk for HIV/STIs and adolescent pregnancy. Sexual health websites (SHWs) offer an inexpensive, easy-to-disseminate, and potentially highly-accessible method of improving sexual health knowledge, awareness, and help-seeking. The present study examined engagement regarding sexual health websites for at-risk, LIU-AA youth. We conducted...
