The effect of rubberized flooring on Asian elephant behavior in captivity

Creator:: Meller, Camie L.
Abstract:: An experiment was designed to determine the effects of a poured rubber flooring substrate on the behavior of captive Asian elephants. Additionally, room utilization was evaluated in a series of seven rooms used for indoor housing. These seven rooms were divided into two observation areas, the Front observation area which...

Morphological and endocrine correlates of dominance in male ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus)

Creator:: Lumas, Kathy A.
Abstract:: An investigation of the correlation between a number of behavioral, morphological and physiological parameters and dominance status of male Ring-necked Pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) was undertaken. Dominant males performed significantly more aggressive behaviors than subordinates and a higher proportion of these behaviors was directed toward distantly ranked subordinates. Animals could also...

Measuring in situ biotransformation in BTEX-contaminated groundwater

Creator:: Alumbaugh, Robert E.
Abstract:: Benzylsuccinate (BSA), methylbenzylsuccinate (methylBSA), and ethylbenzylsuccinate (ethylBSA) are unambiguous anaerobic biotransformation products from toluene, xylenes, and ethylbenzene decay, respectively, and may be used to indicate intrinsic bioremediation is occurring at hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. In order to improve upon current methods that detect and quantify anaerobic hydrocarbon metabolites in field samples, solid-phase-extraction...

Analysis of the effect of the potassium ion on fowl sperm motility

Creator:: Gamble, Kari
Abstract:: Fowl sperm are believed to be immotile prior to ejaculation. The concentration of potassium found in deferent duct fluid is approximately 8 times higher than that found in blood plasma, which is 5 mM in Gallus domesticus. The effect of ionic potassium on fowl sperm motion was tested in a...

Modeling of Non-Spherical Particle Dynamics in a Non-Uniform Flow

Creator:: Alshehri, Ahmad S.
Abstract:: Turbulent flow with suspended, non-spherical particles can be found in nature and several industrial applications. Although turbulence with dispersed spherical particles has been studied extensively, modeling the dynamics of non-spherical particles in a turbulent flow has not been studied extensively. Motion of spherical particles in complex flows is typically captured...

Hydrolyses of rye grass straw for propagation of Candida utilis

Creator:: Frey, Kurt Leslie
Abstract:: The dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis of annual rye grass (Lolium multiflorum) straw was investigated. The straw was hydrolyzed in a stainless steel pressure bomb at 121° C, 135° C, and 150° C with 0.5 to 3.0 percent sulfuric acid for time periods up to 40 minutes. These conditions resulted in...

Blood-based gene expression as a biodosimetry model for neuroblastoma patients treated with ¹³¹I-mIBG

Creator:: Edmondson, David A.
Abstract:: Internal dosimetry is challenging and relies on estimates using MIRD or ICRP biokinetic models. To address this, we looked at gene expression analysis in whole blood from radiotherapy patients. Patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma who received ¹³¹I-mIBG at UCSF were used to correlate internal ionizing radiation (IR) dose with...

An Application of Visual Management to Reduce In-house Material Handling Wastes in SMEs with High Product Variety and Low Volume

Creator:: Kopriva, Cody
Abstract:: Small and medium-sized enterprises that are characterized by high-mix, low-volume, and highly variable production operations often have unstructured material movement processes that are prone to material handling wastes. These sub-optimal material handling systems are oftentimes a result of small and medium-sized enterprise's limited resources. Current tools to assist organizations in...
