Sustainability Analysis of African Palm Biodiesel in Ecuador : An Environmental, Socio-Cultural, and Artistic Perspective

Creator:: Tuinstra, Naomi A.
Abstract:: In the thrust to shift away from fossil fuels towards renewable options, Ecuador produces African palm-based biodiesel, which is currently imported by the Unites States. An analysis of this specific interaction was done via personal contact with the industry in Ecuador and extensive literature review of the topic. The results...

The Role of Arabidopsis RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase Genes 3, 4 and 5 in Antiviral Defense

Creator:: Lowery, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: RNA silencing plays a critical role in plant defense against viral infection. Plants use virusderived small interfering RNA to target and silence invading viruses. The antiviral silencing pathway can be broken down into three conceptual stages: initiation, amplification, and systemic movement. The molecular mechanisms of silencing initiation are not well...

Relationships of hydraulic traits and wood morphology in Douglas-fir branches from wet vs. dry regions and sites

Creator:: Flamenco, Herman Noe, Jr.
Abstract:: It is well known that water transport in xylem depends on its anatomy, but recent research shows that water transport through different parts of the growth ring are affected by the water potential in different ways. The goal of the project was to learn the extent to which wood morphology...

The impact of assigned reading on reading for pleasure throughout life

Creator:: Pruitt, Sydney
Abstract:: The reason for reading for pleasure falling out of popular fashion is ambiguous, and there is an ongoing drive to identify the source in order to encourage more reading. I attempted to see if liking the books assigned to one in middle and high school had an effect on reading...

Biocuration of rice (Oryza sativa) transcription factor networks involved in abiotic stress response

Creator:: El-Husseini, Sarah
Abstract:: Rice (Oryza sativa) is a common crop found in various regions worldwide where it is considered a staple food. Though widespread, O. sativa plants' growth, development, and yield are affected by environmental/abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, flooding, cold, heat, etc. Particularly, salinity stress leads to dehydration, overwhelms potassium pumps, and...

Gene Structure and Expression of the Rice S-Domain Kinase (SD-RLK) Gene Subfamily

Creator:: Dikeman, Daemon
Abstract:: The S-domain subfamily of receptor-like kinases (SD-RLKs) in plants is poorly characterized and the majority of genes have unknown functions. The goal of this study was to study the expansion of rice (Oryza sativa) SD-RLK subfamily, and characterize gene and protein structure and expression of its members using publicly available...

Interaction of the human Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel 1 protein (VDAC-1) with Mycobacterium avium and its role in bacterial survival within phagocytic cells

Creator:: Pham, Tuan
Abstract:: M. avium is an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects macrophages. In order to survive within the macrophage, M. avium secretes proteins into the host cell cytoplasm to inhibit specific functions such as phagosome acidification, altering pathways as well as initiating apoptosis. However, little is known about how those secreted proteins...

HIV and the Transmasculine Community – Can Statistical Significance Be Harmful?

Creator:: Harger, Stephen A.
Abstract:: Epidemiological research on HIV/AIDS seeks to determine at-risk populations not reached by current care. In the forty years since the AIDS epidemic began, transgender people were only recently deemed “at-risk” by the CDC and more action was taken to study them. Most current research centers on transgender women, with transgender...

A Social Behavior Comparison between a Hand-Raised and Wild-Caught Group of Male Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus)

Creator:: Rose, Shanna J.
Abstract:: Social behavior such as play, affiliation, and some vocalizations of captive animals can be indicators of good welfare. Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) at the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) near Otjiwarongo, Namibia are often housed in social groups with various backgrounds. Observations of social and active behaviors were recorded for a group...

Effect of Substrate to Inoculum Ratio on Outcomes of In Vitro Rumen Fermentation Studies

Creator:: Remy, Jon D.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to identify the varying effects of altering the rumen fluid: substrate ratio on the outcomes of in vitro rumen fermentation. In vitro fermentation is a useful tool for evaluating the energy value of feedstuffs and the effect of feed additives on Volatile Fatty Acid...
