  • Healthcare Provider Recommendation and Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Rate among Adolescents ages 13-17

    Creator:
    Sawtelle, Katie G.
    Abstract:
    This literature review will outline HPV vaccination rates among those ages 13-17, barriers to HPV vaccination and highlight physician recommendation, the strongest predictor of HPV vaccine uptake. It was found that only about 54.2% of adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 are up to date with HPV vaccination...

  • Evaluation of Fusarium proliferatum Mycotoxin Profiles in Infected Garlic Cloves

    Creator:
    Rossi, Francesca
    Abstract:
    Fusarium proliferatum is a fungus found in soils which produces the mycotoxin group known as fumonisins. Of human concern due to hepato-, nephro- and neurotoxicity, the threat of fumonisins lies within several food items, including corn, wheat sorghum, asparagus and, more recently, garlic. Manifesting as ““garlic rot”,” F. proliferatum infection...

  • A History of the National Pygmy Goat Association

    Creator:
    Coneybeer, Jane K.
    Abstract:
    The National Pygmy Goat Association is a hobby livestock organization founded in 1975. Over the past five decades, it has grown in size and importance, occupying a niche role as the primary breed registry and certification authority for the smallest domestic ruminant. This history attempts to capture the scope of...

  • A Comparison of Team Effectiveness and Perception of Team Success in Academic and Athletic Teams

    Creator:
    Law, Jaime M.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this research was to compare team effectiveness with objective team success as seen through individual team members’ perceptions in academic and athletic teams. We hypothesized that successful teams are most often strong in team effectiveness, that individual perceptions of team effectiveness can differ among teammates, and that...

  • Frequency-Dependent Rheological Characterization of Viscoelastic Materials Using Magnetic Nanoparticle Probes

    Creator:
    Myers, Renee C.
    Abstract:
    Extending rheological characterization methods to very small length scales is of interest. AC susceptometry using magnetic nanoparticle probes has been proposed for measurement of frequency-dependent rheological properties at the nanoscale. As this technique has been primarily used for ideally Newtonian fluids, this research aimed to extend this technique to viscoelastic...

  • Kit Ligand Effect on Growth of Bovine Follicles in Culture and the Effect of Kit Ligand on the Function of Theca Cells

    Creator:
    Jachter, Shaina L.
    Abstract:
    Ovarian steroidogenesis is heavily controlled by the formation and function of the theca cells. A condition known as polycystic ovarian disease in humans and cystic ovarian disease in cattle is due to abnormal steroidogenesis. Knowing more about theca cell formation and function can aid in gaining further knowledge about polycystic...

  • A Robot By Any Other Name Could Be A Human: defining humanity through an examination of Asimovian robots

    Creator:
    Bernasconi, Abigail A.
    Abstract:
    Being human is often portrayed as desirable in fiction. Many fictional beings, particularly robots and androids, seek out being human as a goal. Although current robotics is not advanced enough for robots and androids to be deemed sentient, the world of fiction is quickly becoming reality. With the integration of...

  • Machine Learning and Optimization Applications in Agriculture

    Creator:
    Molotkov, Alexander
    Abstract:
    The ever-increasing global population presents looming problems for the field of agriculture. Global food demand will, at some point, increase to the point where there is not enough crop-ready land to keep up. This creates an additional incentive, other than economics, for growers to increase their yield-per-acre and make sure...

  • Regulation of Microtubule Dynamics by Engineered Kinesin-14 Motors

    Creator:
    Eagen, Emily
    Abstract:
    Microtubules (MT) are highly dynamic cylindrical-like structures within cells whose growth is controlled by motor proteins, a class of biological machines that walk along the MT while simultaneously regulating MT growth. Here we are interested in the behavior of kinesin-14 motor proteins. Although processive behavior of kinesin-14 motors has been...

  • Expressive Motion in Simple Robotics

    Creator:
    Berger, Jaden E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis follows two studies performed with simple robots. The first follows a robot interacting with eight improvisers to create scenes and perform five isolated gestures (towards, away, sideways, spin, and circle) for interpretation. The second follows a group of three robots performing the same five isolated gestures at two...
