Ethical Considerations of Transgenic Biotechnology as a Tool to Address Global Food Insecurity : Implementation and Regulation in Developing Countries

Creator:: Stepper, Shelby Ann
Abstract:: Transgenic biotechnology holds enormous potential as a tool to address global food insecurity. Transgenic food crops have been shown to increase food availability and food system security by incorporating disease, pesticide and drought resistance. Production costs of transgenic crops are lower due to the reduced need for costly pesticides and...

Investigation, analysis and design of an experiment to test ponding loads on flexible roof systems

Creator:: Stark, Duncan
Abstract:: While damages due to ponding are common and expensive, provisions for design and construction of flat roof systems lack guidance regarding these loads. The goal of this research is to present methods of designing or building flat roofs that are less vulnerable to this condition. An investigation of the literature,...

Integration of Amino Acid Sequence and Alphafold2 Structural Predictions for Chlamydia trachomatis Polymorphic Membrane Proteins

Creator:: DeBrine, Abigail
Abstract:: Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that causes diseases of the eye and urogenital tract in humans. It is the cause of the sexual transmitted infection (STI) chlamydia, the most prevalent STI worldwide, and the ocular disease trachoma, the leading cause of infectious blindness. To date there is no...

Chromosomal Recombination Targets in Chlamydial Lateral Gene Transfer In Vitro

Creator:: Kim, Debbie Blue
Abstract:: Background: Lateral gene transfer (LGT) among C. trachomatis strains is common, both in isolates generated in the laboratory and those examined directly from patients. This is a challenging concept because there are very few examples of recent acquisition of foreign DNA by Chlamydia spp. There is no understanding of the...

Estuaries in Motion : Teaching Estuarine Flow Concepts through Video

Creator:: Cameron, Marina R.
Abstract:: A short (approximately 8 minute) video was created to explain key concepts in estuarine flow and numerical modeling of estuaries for high school students. Animation, real picture videography, and numerical model outputs were used to illustrate how scientists use physics and physics models to understand how flow in an estuary...

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...

Cytokine expression in Danio rerio (zebrafish) in response to TLR-7 agonist - Imiquimod

Creator:: Paternostro, Kevin Alan
Abstract:: Utilizing Danio rerio (zebrafish) as a model organism has gained popularity recently, however a lack of research into their immune response pathways had led to the discovery of subclinical infections, and has potentially confounded results. We conducted a study to determine the cytokine expression from TLR activation in order to...
