  • Investigation of cis-acting RNA element role in bovine viral diarrhea virus replication

    Creator:
    Ly, David
    Abstract:
    Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus. The BVDV genome is about 12.5 kb long and consists of a single open reading frame (ORF) flanked by untranslated regions at the 5' and 3' ends (5'-UTR and 3'- UTR, respectively). To investigate the role of cis-sequences...

  • Ultrafiltration Membrane Fouling in Side-stream Aerobic Granular Sludge Membrane Bioreactor

    Creator:
    Yang, Zhengjian
    Abstract:
    The integration of low-pressure membrane filtration and aerobic granular sludge (AGS) reactor leads to a novel environmental biotechnological process with strong potential to overcome membrane fouling and demonstrate excellent wastewater treatment performance. However, membrane fouling mechanisms in the AGS based membrane bioreactor (MBR) are lack of systematic elaboration. In the...

  • Decision-support for ecosystem-based fishery management in the context of marine spatial planning: regional economic impact models, model outputs, and tradeoff measures

    Creator:
    Hoagland, Porter and Jin, Di
    Abstract:
    The implementation of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) requires the development of new analytic tools to integrate environmental, ecological, and socio-economic data from various sources; to capture explicit interactions among ecosystem components; and to simulate and evaluate the effects of alternative management options. We are developing a computable general equilibrium (CGE)...

  • Measuring Fishing Vessel Safety and Risk Taking

    Creator:
    Di, Jin and Thunberg, Eric
    Abstract:
    Commercial fishing is a dangerous occupation, and accidents are bound to happen given the operational environment within which fishing is conducted. Fishery regulations have been shown or presumed to affect vessel safety. NOAA Fisheries is promoting the adoption of catch share based fishery management programs nation-wide as one way to...

  • The Changing Northeast United States Marine-Based Economy

    Creator:
    Thunberg, Eric and Jin, Di
    Abstract:
    The impacts of fishery management actions on shore-based fishing and fishing related infrastructure have received increased attention in the Northeast region of the United States. However, analyses of these impacts have generally focused on directly affected fisheries, ignoring changes in other fisheries and on other sea and land-based activities. Developing...

  • Statistical analysis of RNA sequencing count data

    Creator:
    Mi, Gu
    Abstract:
    RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) has rapidly become the de facto technique in transcriptome studies. However, established statistical methods for analyzing experimental and observational microarray studies need to be revised or completely re-invented to accommodate RNA-Seq data's unique characteristics. In this dissertation, we focus on statistical analyses performed at two particular stages in...

  • Estimation of Commercial Fishing Trip Costs Using Sea Sampling Data

    Creator:
    DePiper, Geret, Kitts, Andrew, and Jin, Di
    Abstract:
    Accurate cost estimation is crucial in fisheries economic analyses, but is often the least known component of many studies. For the past two decades, a systematic approach to collecting fishing cost data has been employed by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center through the sea sampling program, i.e., onboard observers collecting...

  • The Optimal Allocation of Ocean Space: Aquaculture and Wild-Harvest Fisheries

    Creator:
    Hoagland, Porter, Jin, Di, and Kite-Powell, Hauke
    Abstract:
    In many estuarine and ocean areas, aquaculture is seen as an alternative to traditional commercial fish harvesting practices. A significant problem hindering the emergence or the continuing growth of aquaculture in many areas is the conflict that arises among it and other competing ocean uses. Real world examples include the...

  • An Empirical Analysis of Portfolio Management as a Tool for Implementing Ecosystem-Based Fishery Management

    Creator:
    Jin, Di, DePiper, Geret, and Hoagland, Porter
    Abstract:
    Many experts have argued that the traditional management of commercial fish stocks as single-species is short-sighted, wasteful, and ineffective. Ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) now is being promoted as a potential solution to the problem. While much attention has been directed recently at the potential benefits of implementing EBFM for commercial...

  • Interaction of the Respiratory Syncytial Virus Matrix Protein and the Cellular Adaptor Protein Complex 3µ Subunit

    Creator:
    Ward, Casey J.
    Abstract:
    Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a leading cause of bronchopneumonia in infants and elderly. Knowledge of viral and host protein interactions is important for better understanding of the viral pathogenesis and may lead to development of novel therapeutic drugs. Here, we show that RSV Matrix (M) protein interacts with cellular...
