Genomic Investigations of Diversity within the Milkweed Genus Asclepias, at Multiple Scales

Creator:: Weitemier, Kevin A.
Abstract:: At a time when the biodiversity on Earth is being rapidly lost, new technologies and methods in genomic analysis are fortunately allowing scientists to catalog and explore the diversity that remains more efficiently and precisely. The studies in this dissertation investigate genomic diversity within the milkweed genus, Asclepias, at multiple...

Perceptual characteristics of selected acidulants by different sensory and multivariate methods

Creator:: Rubico, Sonia Mendoza
Abstract:: The taste qualities of acidulants have not been studied in detail despite the fact that they are widely used by the food industry. Studies on characterizing the sensory properties of organic and inorganic acids are very limited. Reported studies are commonly on threshold, equi-sour and the time intensity values of...

Indirect effects of fishing on predators and their prey

Creator:: Stallings, Christopher Derek
Abstract:: Predators are fundamentally important for regulating and driving prey population dynamics as well as structuring ecological communities. Over-exploitation of marine resources has caused dramatic depletions of predatory fish species and shifts in marine community composition, with attendant declines in productivity and diversity of marine ecosystems. Despite the important ramifications of...

Influence of Novel Ocean Conditions on Life History Characteristics of a Nearshore Rockfish with Implications for Population Assessment and Management

Creator:: Rosemond, Rebecca C.
Abstract:: The California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME), located on the eastern boundary of the North Pacific Ocean, is highly dynamic, with variable conditions driven by seasonal upwelling, regional oceanography, and broad scale climate patterns. In the last decade, the northeast Pacific Ocean has experienced several marine heatwaves (MHWs), prolonged periods...

Effects of Medicinal Herbs on Contraction Rate of Cultured Cardiomyocyte. Possible Mechanisms Involved in the Chronotropic Effects of Hawthorn and Berberine in Neonatal Murine Cardiomyocyte

Creator:: Salehi, Satin
Abstract:: Herbs have been used for many centuries in diverse civilizations for the treatment of heart disease. Only a few natural supplements claim to have direct cardiovascular actions including hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) and berberine derived from the Berberidaceae family. Several different studies indicate important cardiovascular effects of hawthorn and berberine. For...

A Nanoparticle Mediated Gene Silencing Approach for the Treatment of Metastatic Ovarian Cancer

Creator:: Schumann, Canan B.
Abstract:: Ovarian cancer, “the silent killer,” is one of the deadliest gynecological diseases due to delayed diagnosis, leading to a heavily disseminated and aggressive metastatic cancer. Therapeutic options are limited at stages III-IV of ovarian cancer, in which debulking surgery and cytotoxic chemotherapy remain the mainstays of intervention. However, these therapeutic...

The free radical scavenging system in overcoming phytotoxicity and breaking dormancy

Creator:: Zhen, Liping
Abstract:: Hydrogen cyanamide (CY) induced earlier budbreak, more uniform and a higher percentage of budbreak in resting poplar (Populus alba x P. gradidentata, NC 5339) plants. However, it was phytotoxic to poplar when applied at 0.5 M or higher concentrations. Percent budbreak increased and percent dieback decreased when poplar plants were...

Understanding the Influence of Perceived Usefulness of Evidence Based Interventions and Employee Morale on the Relationship between Participatory Internal Communication and Program Fidelity

Creator:: Osibanjo, Oyindamola I.
Abstract:: Translation of efficacious programs into real-world settings is an important step in ensuring improved public health outcomes. Yet, the process of translating evidence-based interventions (EBIs) according to fidelity is fraught with challenges. Organizational factors, specifically organizational communication, have been shown to influence translation processes. To date, there is limited research...

Drivers of Kelp Forest Responses to Global Change: From Populations to Policies

Creator:: Hamilton, Sara L.
Abstract:: Kelps are large brown algae in the order Laminariales and are foundation species that form the basis of kelp forests. Present across a quarter of the world’s coastlines, kelp forests provide diverse services to coastal communities, as habitat for commercially and culturally important species, as a food source for humans...
