Fiction's fatal flaw : misrepresentation of the average scientist

Creator:: Basler, Emily
Abstract:: Fiction facilitates the attribution of unrealistic character traits to scientists, and skews general understanding of the scientific process-- a fatal flaw resulting in self-doubt within undergraduate scientists, and apprehension and distrust in several communities. Misconceptions and the absence of significant ideas were identified by analyzing novels within the “Lab Lit”...

Development and Characterization of Novel Muffin Products for Promoting Sustainability

Creator:: Shih, Yi-Ting
Abstract:: Brewers' spent grain (BSG), the byproduct from beermaking, is a good source of protein and dietary fiber and may be utilized as a functional ingredient for food applications such as bakery goods. Starch-based film is well-known for its safety, edibility, and renewability. Starch films with the incorporation of cellulose nanofiber...

Impact of Vitamin E Deficiency on Hepatic Gene Expression of CRAL_TRIO Family Proteins in a Premier Vertebrate Animal Model

Creator:: Watt, Alexander T.
Abstract:: Vitamin E (vitE) is a group of lipid-soluble antioxidants- of which alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active and only form considered to be an essential nutrient. Through preferential binding and trafficking, the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) regulates the concentration of vitE in the body. The impact of vitE deficiency on...

The effect of ascorbate on enzymatic nitroglycerin bioactivation as measured by direct LC-MS/MS determination of nitrite

Creator:: Hardardt, Elizabeth Ann
Abstract:: This work sought to characterize a link between Vitamin C and nitroglycerin at the level of enzymatic bioactivation. Before we could proceed, we needed to develop a method that sensitively and selectively identified the product of bioactivation, nitrite. We successfully adapted traditional diaminonaphthalene derivatization with the use of stable isotope...

Characterization of novel exopolysaccharide producing lactic acid bacteria

Creator:: Garcia, Roberto A., III
Abstract:: Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), an important group of organisms in modern food production, are known to secrete a unique compound called exopolysaccharide (EPS). EPS is economically important because it enhances functional properties in food and may confer beneficial health effects to consumers. Novel strains of Lactococcus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, and...

Impacts of microbial chemical interactions on marine plankton physiology

Creator:: Moore, Eric R.
Abstract:: The bioavailability of chemical compounds in the marine environment fundamentally influences the growth and physiology of microorganisms. Organic and inorganic chemicals that are produced by some marine plankton can be consumed by other plankton for energy production, growth, or to initiate essential physiological processes. Cultures of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana,...

Cellulose Nanomaterial Incorporated Edible Coatings for Improving Storability of Postharvest Fruit: Mechanisms, Development and Validation

Creator:: Deng, Zilong
Abstract:: The overall objective of this dissertation study was to develop and validate the performance of cellulose nanomaterials (CNs) incorporated fruit coatings for improving the storability of postharvest pears and bananas under various storage conditions. Four specific studies were conducted to fulfill the research objectives as stated below. First, cellulose nanocrystal...

A Nanoparticle Mediated Gene Silencing Approach for the Treatment of Metastatic Ovarian Cancer

Creator:: Schumann, Canan B.
Abstract:: Ovarian cancer, “the silent killer,” is one of the deadliest gynecological diseases due to delayed diagnosis, leading to a heavily disseminated and aggressive metastatic cancer. Therapeutic options are limited at stages III-IV of ovarian cancer, in which debulking surgery and cytotoxic chemotherapy remain the mainstays of intervention. However, these therapeutic...

Bioactive Microbial Natural Products from Unique Indonesian Black Water Ecosystems

Creator:: Sheng, Yan
Abstract:: The discovery of new antibiotics reached its peak during the golden era of antibiotics in the mid 20th century and continued to thrive until the 1980s. However, after more than 50 years of fruitful exploration and exploitation of microbial natural products the discovery rate of new antibiotics has dropped drastically...

Building a bridge from chromosomes to microtubules in Neurospora crassa

Creator:: Friedman, Steven
Abstract:: DNA is often described as the “blueprint for life”. In eukaryotes this information is contained within linear chromosomes of varying size and number. During cell division, the chromosomes must be faithfully segregated into each daughter cell to avoid disease and sustain life. This process is carried out by the kinetochore...
