Herbage and Sheep Production from Simple, Diverse, and Legume Pastures Established in an Agrivoltaic Production System

Creator:: Andrew, Alyssa C., Higgins, Chad W., Smallman, Mary A., Prado-Tarango, David E., Rosati, Adolfo, Ghajar, Shayan, Graham, Maggie, and Ates, Serkan
Abstract:: Agrivoltaic systems combine solar energy and agriculture, promoting dual land use. Although grazing sheep in these systems is common, research on intentionally designed pastures to increase production is lacking. This study seeks to compare the herbage growth and lamb production in simple, diverse, and legume pastures in an agrivoltaic system...

Ecology and Distribution of Blue Whales in New Zealand Across Spatial and Temporal Scales

Creator:: Barlow, Dawn R.
Abstract:: The distribution of mobile marine predators often reflects underlying dynamic ecological processes. The geographical focus of this PhD is the South Taranaki Bight (STB) of New Zealand, where wind-driven coastal upwelling generates productivity and prey to support a blue whale foraging ground. The STB is also New Zealand’s most industrial...

The Pozzolanic Reactivity Test and the Properties of Portland Limestone Cement

Creator:: Choudhary, Antara
Abstract:: The pozzolanic reactivity test (PRT) is used to quantify the pozzolanic reactivity of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). The PRT computes reactivity by measuring heat release (Q) and calcium hydroxide (CH) consumption, as interpreted using thermodynamic modeling. The robustness of PRT is examined by experimentally varying CH-to-SCM ratio, solution-to-solid ratio, sulfate...

Integrated Manufacturing Process and System Analysis to Assist Sustainable Product Design

Creator:: Raoufi, Kamyar
Abstract:: Product development in the 21st century requires integrating sustainability performance evaluation with product design and manufacturing activities. A variety of factors, including climate change, public awareness, and increasingly strict regulations have compelled companies to design and manufacture more sustainable products. While the design phase typically accounts for only 5-7% of...

“Red Light, Yellow Light!”: Evaluating the Anti-Listerial Potential of Bacillus Isolate Metabolites Using a High-Throughput Chromogenic Assay”

Creator:: Johnson, Taylor S.
Abstract:: Listeria monocytogenes contamination continues to pose challenges for the food industry and there is demand for effective methods of food preservation and protection that can also be considered clean label. A promising source of antilisterial compounds may be sourced from bacteria that produce novel byproducts. Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified...

Regulation of Redox Homeostasis in Skin Cells for the Prevention of UV-Induced Stress and Treatment of Melanoma

Creator:: Carpenter, Evan L.
Abstract:: Melanocytes are dendritic, pigment-producing cells located in the skin and are responsible for its protection against the deleterious effects of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which include DNA damage and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS). They do so by synthesizing photoprotective melanin pigments and distributing them to adjacent skin cells (e.g.,...

Use of Organoleptic Methodologies to Evaluate Wine Oligosaccharides and Wines made from Grapevine Red Blotch Virus Positive Vines Subjected to Various Vineyard Management Practices

Creator:: Hoffman, Samuel
Abstract:: The human senses can be used as analytical tools to evaluate many different aspects of our daily lives. The use of our senses through organoleptic methods offers unique and powerful insights into the characteristics of different stimuli. Due to the unique function of the different sensory organs we use to...

Can Pollination Networks Withstand Species Loss? An Examination of Plant–Hummingbird Interactions and Their Responses to Experimental Removal of a Flowering Plant Species

Creator:: Leimberger, Kara G.
Abstract:: Global environmental change is causing local extinctions of species. When species depend on one another, as in the mutualistic relationship between plants and pollinators, loss of one interaction partner may cause cascading effects within the community – such as additional extinctions and reduced pollination services. Network theory provides a way...

Grazer-resource Behavior, Interactions, and Feedbacks Control Kelp-forest Dynamics and Stability

Creator:: Randell, Zachary H.
Abstract:: How the direct and indirect effects of species interactions cascade to affect community structure, functioning, and stability is a fundamental question in ecology. In temperate kelp forests, species interactions, in conjunction with environmental processes, produce rich spatiotemporal dynamics. Arguably the most dramatic of these are abrupt shifts in community state,...
