Culturable Wood Endophytes of Populus trichocarpa

Creator:: Buckner, Jacob G.
Abstract:: This study is believed to be the first of its kind to characterize culturable fungal endophytes from the wood of Populus trichocarpa, and to examine the potential of inducible resistance and secondary chemistry as specific host factors that shape fungal endophytic communities in wood. To do so, more than seventy...

Successful Secessionist Movements and the Uncertainty of Post-Secession Quality of Life

Creator:: Stein, Chloe
Abstract:: A prevalent assumption among those engaging in secessions is that their quality of life will improve once they establish their own nation. This study examined this assumption by looking at how a successful secession impacted peoples’ quality of life. Despite the sheer number of active secessionist movements, very few actually...

The particle on a ring in polymer quantum mechanics : a quantum cosmology analogue on a compact space

Creator:: Siebersma, Maxwell R.
Abstract:: Loop quantum gravity is a framework for quantizing general relativity which imposes a discrete structure on space. In exploring the structure of loop quantum gravity, researchers have investigated loop quantum cosmology, a toy model with reduced degrees of freedom while maintaining a discrete space. Polymer quantum mechanics is a framework...

Mining Public Microbiome Datasets to Identify Specific Microbial Taxa Associated with Anxiety-Related Disorders

Creator:: Martin, Austin N.
Abstract:: Over the last ten years, clinical, pre-clinical and animal studies have shown associations between the microbiota and neurological functions. Recent work by the scientific community on the gut-microbiome-brain axis have revealed that gut dysbiosis and specific microbial taxa are associated with a myriad of neurological conditions, such as autism spectrum...

Scale Up & Optimization of the Liquid Carbon Dioxide Extraction of Orange Oil with Dry Ice

Creator:: Fraser-Hevlin, Brenden C. S.
Abstract:: Essential oils have numerous chemical and therapeutic applications. Some oil extraction methods, including steam distillation, require a large energy input. An alternative technique with a lower energy demand is the extraction of oils using supercritical liquid carbon dioxide (CO2), which extracts essential oils with minimal environmental impact. While this often...

Response of Stream Macroinvertebrate Community to Canopy-opening Manipulations

Creator:: Mackaness, Cedar
Abstract:: Stream light availability is an important factor influencing aquatic food webs. In forested headwaters, stream algal production is often highly light-limited, so an increase in light enhances benthic algal growth, which in turn increases food availability for primary consumers in the stream. In forested headwater streams, light availability is almost...

Assessing the Maturity of Industrial Engineering as an Engineering Discipline

Creator:: Murphy, Thomas W.
Abstract:: Industrial Engineering is a broad discipline, with a wide range of definitions for the field and the knowledge areas that make up its parts. A conceptual gap exists between the definition of the field of Industrial Engineering and the definitions of each of these parts. To facilitate advancement of the...

Comparative descriptive analysis of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to climate change mitigation and adaptation by Costa Rica and México

Creator:: Pinard, Zachary J.
Abstract:: Under the Paris Agreement, parties submitted documents outlining their commitments to climate change mitigation and adaptation, called Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which are set to be updated to increase ambition by 2020. Costa Rica and México are known for their significant national actions on climate change, so comparing these two...

Change in Hydraulic Conductivity of Expansive Soils

Creator:: Hesseltine, Johnathon
Abstract:: Swelling soils cause millions of dollars of damage to buildings every year in the Unites States alone. One essential piece to understanding these soils is to understand how water moves through them. Hydraulic conductivity is a measure of how easily water flows through a soil. Currently, the most common method...

Polymorphic Membrane Protein-13G Expression Variation Demonstrated between Chlamydia abortus Culture Conditions and Strains

Creator:: Khan, Emaan M.
Abstract:: Chlamydiae encode a family of proteins named the polymorphic membrane proteins, or Pmps, whose role in infection and pathogenesis is unclear. The Rockey Laboratory is studying polymorphic membrane protein expression in Chlamydia abortus, a zoonotic pathogen that causes abortions in ewes. C. abortus contains 18 pmp genes, some of which...
