The effects of electroshock on immune function and disease progression in juvenile spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: VanderKooi, Scott P.
Abstract:: Electrofishing is a sampling tool commonly used by fisheries researchers. While much is known about the effects of electroshock on fish physiology, consequences to the immune system and disease progression have not received attention. To understand the effects of electroshock on immune function we undertook a comparison of electroshock and...

Restoration of Annual Grass-invaded Landscapes in the Sagebrush Steppe using Perennial Grass Seed Technologies and Wyoming Big Sagebrush Transplanting

Creator:: Holfus, Corinna M.
Abstract:: Within the sagebrush steppe ecosystem, invasive annual grasses are of growing management concern as they outcompete native vegetation, change the fundamental nutrient cycling processes, decrease biodiversity, and increase frequency of wildfires. The most widely used and effective management tool to decrease invasive annual grass abundance, is the use of pre-emergent...

Activated carbon incorporated into herbicide protection pods as a seed amendment technology for revegetation

Creator:: Clenet, Danielle R.
Abstract:: Reestablishing native perennial vegetation in annual grass-invaded rangelands is critical to restoring ecosystems, especially following wildfires. Controlling invasive annual grasses is essential to increasing revegetation success; however, pre-emergent herbicides used to control annual grasses prohibit immediate seeding due to non-target herbicide damage. Thus, seeding is often delayed one year following...

The effects of elevated temperature and stress on immune function in juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Harrahy, Laura Nicole Martini
Abstract:: Stress, including extreme or rapidly changing temperatures, are known to have deleterious effects on fish health and physiology. This thesis examines the combined effects of elevated acclimation temperature and acute handling stress on the number of antibody producing cells, plasma lysozyme concentrations, and the number of pronephric leukocytes in juvenile...

Near-contact Grasping Strategies: Improve Robotic Grasping from Awkward Poses with Deliberate Finger Motion

Creator:: Ong, Yi Herng
Abstract:: As robots are becoming more relevant to our lives, they are still having hard time accomplishing simple tasks such as picking and lifting. Problems that include environmental constraints, pose uncertainties and hardware noises restrain robots for grasping an object successfully from a perceivable environment. Many have looked into finding best...

A case for application-based linear transformers : applied towards text-to-spectrogram

Creator:: Agostinelli, Victor
Abstract:: Various natural language processing (NLP) tasks necessitate deep models that are fast, efficient, and small based on their ultimate application at the edge or elsewhere. While significant investigation has furthered the efficiency and reduced the size of these models, reducing their downstream latency without significant trade-offs remains a difficult task....

Performance-Based Design Methodology for Using Emergent Vegetation to Mitigate Wave Overtopping

Creator:: Ostrow, Kayla
Abstract:: To facilitate the design of Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for flood protection, this thesis expands an existing engineering design methodology to NNBF systems. The existing approach is a Level III reliability method for the performance-based design of traditional coastal engineering systems. The expanded methodology incorporates uncertainties inherent to both...

Evaluation of transgenes for stress tolerance, lignin modification, and growth enhancement in poplar

Creator:: Elias, Ani Anna
Abstract:: We evaluated genes previously identified from a large scale functional genomics screen for their potential value to help enhance carbon sequestration in planted trees. We used poplar as a model tree species because of its abundant genetic variation, ease of gene transfer, and availability of large databases for genomic, anatomical,...

Attitudes, perceptions and coping skills of long-term breast cancer survivors

Creator:: Baskerville, Linda F.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to document, through personal interviews, perceptions, attitudes and coping skills utilized by women who have survived breast cancer treated by mastectomy for at least 5 years without recurrence. A semi-structured interview guide was developed with input from professionals in the field. The questions were...
