  • Walk to school program : Vision to reality

    Creator:
    McAllister, Zoanne Houston
    Abstract:
    Childhood obesity and physical inactivity are significant health problems. According to the CDC (2012), only 12.5% of high school students meet the recommended requirements for physical activity. One method to reverse this trend is promoting physical activity. The Walk to School Program promotes active transportation in schools nationwide. PURPOSE: The...

  • Voluntary alcohol consumption in male rhesus macaques suppresses cancellous bone remodeling

    Creator:
    Kahler-Quesada, Arianna M.
    Abstract:
    Background: Chronic heavy alcohol consumption is a risk factor for bone fracture. Using a non-human primate model of voluntary alcohol self-administration, we have recently shown that alcohol consumption suppresses intracortical bone remodeling. The current study extends this investigation to asses the effect of alcohol consumption on cancellous bone mass, architecture,...

  • Volatile Organic Compound Production in Synechococcus WH8102

    Creator:
    Ocel, Duncan R.
    Abstract:
    High-resolution mass spectrometry was used to measure a range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in real time as they were produced by the ubiquitous marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus WH8102 during a 24-hour light/dark cycle. Ethenone, acetaldehyde, ethanol, isoprene, acetic acid, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), acetone, phenol, and several as-yet unidentified compounds were...

  • Visualizing nuclei in Platygyra daedalea

    Creator:
    Sakulsakpinit, Minnie N.
    Abstract:
    Platygyra daedalea, a species of brain coral from the Persian Gulf, can withstand higher temperatures than other coral species. This attribute makes the species a potential model organism for thermal tolerance research. Genomic resources such as a linkage map of this species predict that there are 12 to 14 chromosomes...

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design's Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres

    Creator:
    Le, Vivian T.
    Abstract:
    The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine...

  • View-based editing of variational code

    Creator:
    Van de Wetering, Miles
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses the merits of providing users variational views when editing variational code. I provide a plugin for the popular Atom Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which replaces #ifdef annotations commonly used by the C PreProcessor (CPP) with colored backgrounds, thus reducing code clutter and attempting to help programmers quickly...

  • Variation of phenolics in anthocyanin- and nonanthocyanin- fruit tomatoes

    Creator:
    Dalotto, Todd F.
    Abstract:
    Phenolic compounds are known to have biological activity with beneficial effects on human health. Fruit of cultivated tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are a major source of phenolics in the U.S. diet because this crop is the second most consumed vegetable per capita, but actual levels are low compared to other...

  • Validation of Predicted Functional Transcription Factor Binding Sites in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Creator:
    Ozguc, Olivia R.
    Abstract:
    Gene expression is largely regulated by the binding of transcription factors to short sequences of DNA (transcription factor binding sites) to drive or repress transcription of an adjacent gene. Identifying the key transcription factor binding sites associated with a particular biological outcome provides an avenue for tailored transcriptional regulation in...

    Creator:
    Newton, Jacob A.
    Abstract:
    This research examined the potential for using peanut husk as a fiber alternative to wood in the production of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) particleboard. MF resin was used to produce panels with one, three, six, nine or 12 percent resin contents. Modulus of Rupture (MOR), Modulus of Elasticity (MOE), Internal Bond (IB)...

  • Using TEM to Evaluate the Importance of the Microbiome and Virome Between Fire Corals and Scleractinian Corals

    Creator:
    Duke, William C.
    Abstract:
    As important ecological cornerstones, coral reefs face threats from a myriad of sources, such as global climate change, and importantly, disease, the latter often as a result of microbial pathogens. An understudied group of major corals, fire corals, and their even less understood microbiome present an opportunity to learn more...
