  • Rheological and spectroscopic characterization of surimi under various comminuting and heating conditions

    Creator:
    Poowakanjana, Samanan
    Abstract:
    Optimization of comminuting and heating conditions for surimi gel preparation obtained from three fish species: Alaska pollock (AP) (Theragra chalcogramma), Pacific whiting (PW) (Merluccius productus), and threadfin bream (TB) (Nemipterus spp.) was the focus of this study. Three parameters during comminution were separately evaluated: chopping time, chopping temperature, and salting...

  • Three essays on international trade and regional productivity

    Creator:
    Moon, Hanpil
    Abstract:
    A firm's productivity is composed of two parts: pure technical change and location-specific (agglomeration) externalities. Regional productivity is thus an aggregation of productivity of firms producing similar goods and located in a given region. International trade can affect both components of regional productivity. First, trade openness in a closed economy...

  • Essays on land-use change, carbon sequestration and emissions in China

    Creator:
    Li, Man
    Abstract:
    China has experienced rapid economic growth in the last twenty years, accompanied by large-scale land conversion, severe environmental degradation, and rising carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. Designing policies for sustainable development requires a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between economic growth, land-use change, carbon sequestration and emissions in China. This dissertation...

  • Wheat lignin as a functional dietary fiber component

    Creator:
    Junyusen, Tiraporn
    Abstract:
    This dissertation has focused on lignin byproducts that result from the alkali processing of wheat straw. The first study evaluated the application of “standard” lignin quantification methods for summative analyses of alkali-based processes. Mass closure during NaOH processing at 25, 50, and 75°C of wheat straw was evaluated using the...

  • The economics of forest-dependent regions

    Creator:
    Biswas, Smita
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores two economic phenomena involving forest-dependent areas: wage distribution and migration pattern of individuals. Are forest-dependent rural areas less desirable for workers from the standpoint of labor market returns? Are different skills (e.g. education, experience) rewarded differently in these areas? If there are interregional wage differences, would that...

  • Drivers of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community composition in roots : hosts, neighbors, and environment

    Creator:
    Phillips, Wendy S.
    Abstract:
    The vast majority of terrestrial plant species live in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF and plants live in complex networks, with roots of individual plants hosting multiple AMF, and single AMF colonizing multiple plants concurrently. Through the exchange of resources, the two partners of this symbiosis can have...

  • Genome Wide Association Mapping for Abiotic and Biotic Stresses in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Using Diverse Arrays of Doubled Haploids Derived From Intercrossing Exotic and Adapted Germplasm

    Creator:
    Hernandez, Javier
    Abstract:
    The following dissertation consists of six sections: a general introduction, three manuscripts, a general conclusion, and an overall bibliography. The three manuscripts report on: (1) identifying genetic interactions in diverse germplasm developed during introgression of a major gene conferring resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici), (2) mapping...

  • Entomopathogenic nematodes for biological control of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)

    Creator:
    Armer, Christine Andrea
    Abstract:
    The Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is the most devastating foliage-feeding pest of potatoes in the United States. Potential biological control agents include the nematodes Heterorhabditis marelatus Liu & Berry and Steinernema riobrave Cabanillas, Poinar & Raulston, which provided nearly 100% CPB control in previous laboratory trials. In...

  • Instrumental and sensory texture profile analysis of Asian wheat noodles

    Creator:
    Pipatsattayanuwong, Siriporn
    Abstract:
    Texture, a critical property of Asian wheat noodles, is normally assessed by sensory evaluation. However, sensory evaluation may be impractical for wheat breeders and noodle researchers who need to evaluate a large number of samples and have limited sample. Instrumental Texture Profile Analysis (TPA) has been widely employed to evaluate...
