A role for ceramide accumulation in age-related cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction

Creator:: Monette, Jeffrey S.
Abstract:: Ceramides are a group of lipids in the sphingolipid family that are potent cell signaling molecules. Elevations in ceramide levels above the norm generally lead to apoptosis. Evidence from in vitro studies suggests that accumulation of ceramides within mitochondria leads to dysfunction of the mitochondria. This includes inhibition of the...

Deep desulfurization of diesel fuel using a single phase photochemical microreactor

Creator:: Jones, Jacob Aaron
Abstract:: There is an urgent need to lower the concentration of sulfur in diesel fuels. Growing concern over environmental effects caused by burning sulfur-containing diesel has led the world to higher standards in fuel refinement. Because of these lower standards, many techniques have been researched to remove sulfur containing compounds or...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Propulsion

Creator:: Brown, Sean
Abstract:: There is a growing US interest in UAVs for many applications ranging from agriculture to military. One area of improvement that can be realized in each category is propulsion. Engines with greater efficiency would result in longer mission duration, leading to cost savings and increased usefulness for UAV owners and...

Aryl acetylene substituent effects : the synthesis and application of biaryls

Creator:: Naffziger, Michael R.
Abstract:: The work described herein details the synthesis and application of biphenyls that probe the effects of hydrogen, Cl / Br, and methyl substituents on the aryl ring of the terminal acetylenic carbon. From this work, we successfully developed the rapid synthesis of phenyl acetylenes in 3-4 steps from inexpensive commercially...

Orbiting the Genus of False Units: Dynamics of Phage Genomes and Nematode Microbiomes Associated with Pseudomonas spp.

Creator:: Ha, Anh D.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas is a diverse, ubiquitous, and widely studied genus of bacteria. As Pseudomonas species occupy a wide range of niches in the ecosystem, they have made remarkable biological impacts. Better understanding of Pseudomonas biology, genetic diversity, and functional interactions with other organisms and the environment will provide valuable insights into...

Addressing wastewater epidemiology limitations with the use of dynamic population surrogates, complementary urinalyses and in-situ experiments

Creator:: Brewer, Alex J.
Abstract:: Wastewater epidemiology is an emerging discipline that requires collaborative research involving analytical chemists, drug epidemiologists, and wastewater engineers. Wastewater epidemiology involves the sampling and quantitative analysis of raw wastewaters from communities for illicit drugs and their metabolites. Mass loads (mass per day) and per capita (mg per day per person)...

Beaver ecology on the west Copper River Delta, Alaska

Creator:: Cooper, Erin E.
Abstract:: Since the 1964 earthquake and geologic uplift, beavers (Castor canadensis) have expanded their historic range from the inland (outwash plain) Copper River Delta, Alaska to the once tidally influenced areas of the outer area (uplifted marsh). The uplift presents a unique opportunity to observe beaver expansion, habitat selection and influence...

Comparison of baits for monitoring the spotted wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii

Creator:: Kleiber, Joseph R.
Abstract:: Spotted wing Drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a pest of small and stone fruits that is widely distributed across much of the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Unlike other members of the Drosophilidae that only lay eggs in overripe or rotting fruit, SWD infest ripening and ripe...

New Insights into Mantle Dynamics from Helium Isotopes and Argon Geochronology

Creator:: Konrad, Kevin
Abstract:: Earth’s mantle extends to nearly 3000 km depth, comprises >80 % of Earth’s total volume, and has the largest influence on the primordial and radiogenic heat budget. Despite its importance, the structure and composition of the mantle is still debated. There are three primary models for Earth’s mantle structure that...

Effect of high pressure processing on the survival of Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains in pure culture and Pacific oysters

Creator:: Calik, Hakan
Abstract:: Different strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) in broth cultures and Vp-inoculated live Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) were subjected to high pressure processing (HPP) at 241, 276, 310, and 345 MPa. Results showed Vp numbers were reduced by HPP in both pure culture and whole oysters. Vp inactivation was dependent on...
