Stress and Learning in Larval Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:: Moussaoui, Bushra
Abstract:: In this study, we characterize the behavioral response of larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) to the noxious chemical allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), an agonist of the nociceptive TRPA1 ion channel, and utilize AITC as an aversive stimulus in an associative learning paradigm. We find that larvae exposed to AITC in both a...

Early competitive environments differentially influence stress axis responses in sympatric, ecologically similar songbirds

Creator:: Hardt, Braelei M.
Abstract:: 1. Early competitive environments can shape the development of offspring across taxa. For example, competition for food can have downstream effects on offspring phenotypes and fitness; however, little is known about how early competition influences the development of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and its potential tradeoff with growth. Because baseline and...

Mechanically Enhanced and Optically Compatible Hydrogels for Particle Image Velocimetry in Porous Flow

Creator:: Cornwell-Arquitt, Luke
Abstract:: Hydrogels have been attractive for use as a medium in porous flow studies, but have always been limited in this role because of their poor mechanical properties. This project analyzes and tests two recently developed hydrogels, poly(methacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (PMM), and a heat-treated long chain PVA hydrogel. Particle image velocimetry (PIV)...

Experimental Design Approach for Evaluation of Airfoil-Driven Energy Harvesting

Creator:: Strahl, Jordan D.
Abstract:: An experimental setup has been partially developed to investigate the impact of an actively controlled trailing edge component upon the energy harvesting performance of an oscillating airfoil in a pitching and heaving regime. While previous and current efforts have and continue to function to characterize the performance of such a...
