Possible contributors to variation in cultured cheese produced in different geographical locations when typical cheese production controls are employed

Creator:: Fels, Shawn
Abstract:: Variation in cheese quality due to geographic location is important to cheese producers, consumers, and retailers on a global level. Understanding the impacts of geographic location of cheese plants may be useful to businesses for marketing, cost reduction, and quality improvement. Many aspects of variation due to geography have been...

Detection and transmission of Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium chelonae in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:: Peterson, Tracy Shawn
Abstract:: Mycobacteriosis is a common disease of laboratory zebrafish (Danio rerio). Different infection patterns occur in zebrafish depending on mycobacterial species. Mycobacterium marinum and M. haemophilum produce virulent infections associated with high mortality, whereas M. chelonae is more wide spread and not associated with high mortality. Identification of mycobacterial infections to...

Reconceptualizing Science Communication: Investigating the Role of Discourse, Identity, and Cultural Models for Socially Controversial Science Topics at the Explore Evolution Exhibit in Three Museums

Creator:: Robichaux, Laia
Abstract:: Science is one of the fundamental building blocks of modern societies, and though some science topics are easily accepted by public audiences, others generate intense social controversy by challenging beliefs that are fundamental to a person’s, or group’s, identity. The Theory of Evolution is one of these “hot-button” issues, as...

Mitigating Microplastics : Development and Evaluation of a Middle School Curriculum

Creator:: Kowalski, Marie
Abstract:: Microplastics, plastic marine debris less than 5 mm in size, is a threat to the health of our oceans. One important way to reduce microplastics in our oceans is to educate people about the issue, particularly future decision-makers. In this study, a middle school curriculum was developed using current scientific...

Using Narratives to Document Environmental Identities and Connection to Nature : A Case Study of Aquarium Staff and Volunteers

Creator:: Mileham, Michelle A.
Abstract:: Zoos and aquariums are among the best informal education avenues for individuals to further develop conservation beliefs and values. Research documented the presence of conservation messages at aquariums, that visitors expect such messages, and staff and volunteers at conservation organizations increase their conservation-related knowledge and behaviors. This research often focuses...

Unpacking docent practice in free choice science learning settings : a qualitative study documenting the what and whys of docent interpretive practice

Creator:: Good, Laura H.
Abstract:: Museum settings including aquariums, zoos and science centers rely heavily on their volunteer docent populations to interact with and communicate science and conservation concepts to the visiting public. The interactions docents have with museum visitors are important to meeting the educational expectations of museums and improving public science literacy as...

Effect of Regulated Deficit Irrigation on Malbec and Syrah Grape and Wine Quality

Creator:: Yuan, Xiaoxi
Abstract:: The water status of grape vine throughout the growing season is a primary determinant of vine vigor and berry composition. The concentrations of volatile compounds and precursors in grape berries are highly influenced by viticultural practices. Imposing a water deficit on the vine during berry development is an important vineyard...

In-situ Surface Modification of Wood with Different Hot Press Platen Metallurgies

Creator:: Freitas, Shawn Robert
Abstract:: As the forest industry moves toward the use of younger trees and production of an increasing number of composite products improving durability has gained importance. Coatings are one of the most widely used methods for improving wood durability because they improve resistance to water penetration, and subsequent shrinking and swelling,...

Eastern filbert blight in hazelnut (Corylus avellana): identification of new resistance sources and high resolution genetic and physical mapping of a resistance gene

Creator:: Sathuvalli, Vidyasagar R.
Abstract:: European hazelnut, Corylus avellana L., is the only economically important nut crop in the family Betulaceae. One of the threats to the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is the fungal disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the pyrenomycete Anisogramma anomala. Host genetic resistance to EFB identified in the...
