  • Sustainable US Federal Water Policy Recommendations

    Creator:
    Kusanto, Nicholas Christopher
    Abstract:
    Climate change, population growth, aging infrastructure, poor water management, and aquifer depletion are reducing US water supply. Increasing water scarcity will lead to an inability to support agriculture, industry, energy, and municipal demand that will negatively affect US economic growth and national security. Traditional water policy measures of expanding supply...

  • An investigation of water access and quality in the Ambovombe area of southern Madagascar

    Creator:
    Valentine, Katherine Frances
    Abstract:
    The Ambovombe-Androy region of southern Madagascar is one of the most water stressed areas in the country and is also notorious for having the worst quality water on the island. Before improvements and change can be made however, it is vital to know what infrastructure, quality, and access levels currently...

  • Trouble on the High Seas: An Analysis of Congressional Speech Patterns regarding Sea Level Rise in the 115th Congress

    Creator:
    Fuller, Joshua A.
    Abstract:
    When running for a political office, a candidate’s platform is important for the voter to understand what the that individual believes. Candidates do not always lay out a concrete platform and tend to stay away from salient issues, such as climate change and its effects, and run on platforms that...

  • Community Risk Factors for Post-Hurricane Disease

    Creator:
    Hultberg, Kate
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores interrelationships between the geographical impact of recent hurricanes, rates of giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis in impacted communities, and effects of hurricanes on local water infrastructure systems. I obtained quantitative data on geographical hurricane attributes, demographic characteristics of populations struck by hurricanes, and confirmed cases of giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis...

  • The role of molecular architecture in the hydration properties of brewers’ spent grain

    Creator:
    Yang, Jasmin S.
    Abstract:
    An emerging strategy to reducing food waste is converting food processing byproducts to nutritious and inexpensive food ingredients. A relevant food processing waste stream is brewers’ spent grain (BSG), the primary byproduct of beer production. BSG is a promising candidate as a food ingredient because of its high protein and...

  • Generation of expression plasmids to study the function of the PRC2 subunit Suz12 in Fusarium graminearum

    Creator:
    Park, Catherine
    Abstract:
    The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes genome transcription repression through the methylation of lysine residue 27 in the amino terminal region of histone 3 (H3K27me1/2/3) [2], [7]. PRC2 is made up of three highly conserved core subunits: Kmt6, Eed, and Suz12. Accurate distribution of PRC2 is essential for proper...

    Creator:
    Tao, Dany
    Abstract:
    "‘Biometrics is at the forefront in our agenda for homeland security,’ declared Asa Hutchinson, the Department of Homeland Security's undersecretary for border and transportation security, at the 2004 Biometric Consortium Conference” [11]. Flashy retinal scanning and voice activated computers were once considered technologies for science fiction movies and novels. Nowadays,...

  • A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

    Creator:
    Geisler, Mark S.
    Abstract:
    Histones, as part of nucleosomes, are responsible for DNA packaging in chromosomes. They also affect DNA expression by a multitude of post-translational modifications, especially prevalent on the amino terminus of histones. Co-activator protein complexes “write”, “read”, or “erase” histone modifications, and in balance determine which sections of DNA are free...

  • The role of the putative transcription factor DIS10 in PRC2-mediated gene silencing

    Creator:
    Jackson, Kendra K.
    Abstract:
    PRC2 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 2) mediated gene silencing plays an important role in cell differentiation, stem cell plasticity, and tumor suppression. In fungi, it is also involved in pathogenicity. The catalytic subunit, KMT6, trimethylates lysine 27 on histone h3 (H3K27me3) at loci targeted for silencing. In animals, PRC1 and PRC2...
