  • Analysis of twentieth century apparel production compared to twenty-first century apparel production

    Creator:
    Baker, Kelly
    Abstract:
    Apparel fashion is a daily component of society that transcends generations and cultures. The purpose of my research was to analyze the garment structure and construction of two separate but comparable garments in style, function, and content - one from the 1910s and one from 2015. Using the New Brunswick...

  • Are they what they eat? A stable GIT microbiome characterized in P. resecata

    Creator:
    Gustafson, Tarah N.
    Abstract:
    Intertidal herbivores, such as isopods, help regulate and contribute to nutrient cycling and organic carbon flow through the trophic levels in estuaries and coastal ecosystems. Though much is known about the microbiomes of macrophyte leaves that serve as the primary food source for isopods, and (to a lesser extent) the...

  • Comparison of Behaviors of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Different Play Settings

    Creator:
    Nussbaum, Katrina
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to compare the child behaviors of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ages 44-91 months) in different play settings. The hypothesis states that more positive child behaviors will be observed in the motor-based play setting compared to the free play setting. This study observed...

  • The effect of feeding spent hemp biomass on bone growth in broiler chickens

    Creator:
    Pearce, Carolyn
    Abstract:
    Spent hemp biomass (SHB) is a byproduct of the cannabinoid oil production which currently is not approved as a livestock feed ingredient. The 2018 Farm Bill defined the difference between varieties of the cannabis sativa plant as either non-hemp cannabis or hemp which has equal to or less than 0.3...

  • Establishment of an in vitro model to study persistence in Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis

    Creator:
    Armstrong, Elyssa L.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) is the most common pathogen among non-tuberculous mycobacteria, causing disease in immunocompromised individuals. An intracellular bacterium, MAH resides within the phagosome, a vesicle formed by macrophages as they engulf invading pathogens. Here, a subpopulation of MAH regresses into a nonreplicative state called persistence, allowing them...

  • The Motor and Social Communicative Skills in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

    Creator:
    Khader, Ayesha
    Abstract:
    Interventions for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) focus on core impairments in social communication skills, yet studies have shown a relationship between social and motor skill deficits in children with ASD. The purpose of this study is to further examine individual levels of gross and fine motor skills...

  • Roles of Innate Lymphoid Cells on Mycobacterium avium infection

    Creator:
    Bickell, Jay
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) is a common environmental bacterium that causes infections in immunocompromised patients such as those with HIV/AIDS, or patients with chronic lung disease such as Cystic Fibrosis. There are many strains of MAH with varying levels of virulence. Infection with MAH strains 100 and 104 have...

  • Investigating the Interplay of Age, Zinc Status, and the Gut Microbiome on Gut Health

    Creator:
    Vasudevan, Anusha
    Abstract:
    Zinc is an important micronutrient involved in many cellular processes, including those part of immune function; however, about 15% of the US population is at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. This can lead to immune system complications including the generation of inflammatory cytokines. Aging is another factor that worsens the...

    Creator:
    Bravo, Kali J.
    Abstract:
    There is no shortage of challenges in modern science, including the task of obtaining high resolution images of biomolecular structures, such as proteins. Current atomic-resolution structure determination methods include x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which present issues like protein crystallization and loss of resolution with increasing size.

  • Arsenic methylation by marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus

    Creator:
    Lee, Mikaela
    Abstract:
    Our experiments aimed to investigate responses of the marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus to toxic arsenic species, such as arsenate, and to understand cellular mechanisms that contribute to arsenic tolerance. We used two strains of Prochlorococcus, a high-light adapted MED4 and low-light adapted MIT9313, both axenic, for cultivation experiments. For...
