  • Characterization of the transition to the progamic phase in Zea mays pollen

    Creator:
    Smyth, Johanna C.
    Abstract:
    The transition of mature pollen to the progamic phase represents an important step in the regulation of plant sexual reproduction. The progamic phase encompasses the initiation of pollen tube germination, growth of the pollen tube through the stigma (the silk in maize) and concludes with fertilization of the female gametophyte....

  • Effectual Entrepreneurship and its Application to a Microfluidics R&D Startup

    Creator:
    Brown, Matthew E.
    Abstract:
    An inventor seeks to leverage his unique means in order to create and commercially exploit new technologies. Until new technologies are sufficiently developed, they have the theoretical potential for commercial exploitation in a wide range of markets. Those opportunities are limited by physical bounds that are often only discovered through...

  • A Political Ecology Lens for the Nutrition Transition in Rural, Kedougou, Senegal

    Creator:
    Lucey, Taylor K.
    Abstract:
    The nutrition transition is a global phenomenon in which populations move from low socioeconomic status (SES) to high SES and from high physical activity to low physical activity. Rising rates of urbanization and non-communicable diseases in West Africa may indicate an advanced phase of the nutrition transition; however, through a...

  • Mapping disturbance interactions from earth and space : insect effects on tree mortality, fuels, and wildfires across forests of the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Meigs, Garrett W.
    Abstract:
    Given the vital role of forest ecosystems in landscape pattern and process, it is important to quantify the effects, feedbacks, and uncertainties associated with forest disturbance dynamics. In western North America, insects and wildfires are both native disturbances that have influenced forests for millennia, and both are projected to increase...

  • Numerical simulation of anaerobic reductive dechlorination of CAHs in continuous flow systems

    Creator:
    Mustafa, Nizar Ahmad
    Abstract:
    Halogenated organic compounds have had widespread and massive applications in industry, agriculture, and private households, for example, as degreasing solvents, flame retardants and in polymer production. They are released to the environment through both anthropogenic and natural sources. The most common chlorinated solvents present as contaminants include tetrachloroethene (PCE, perchloroethene)...
