Temporal gamma-ray spectrometry to quantify relative fissile material content

Creator:: Williford, Russell S.
Abstract:: A new method for delayed gamma-ray spectrometry to quantify the relative content of fissile material is developed and demonstrated to support international efforts in bolstering non-destructive assay capabilities. Previous traditional delayed gamma-ray spectrometry techniques rely upon nuclear data that often carry very high uncertainty. The new method removes the requirement...

Seed quality and plant establishment studies of seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum Sw.)

Creator:: Baker, Stanley D.
Abstract:: Seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum Sw.) is an important warm-season perennial turfgrass, known for its tolerance to salinity. Turfgrass is used for homes, municipalities, sod farms, resorts, and sports fields. Seashore paspalum has historically been planted in sub-tropical and tropical climates because of its heat tolerance. Seashore paspalum could become an...

Effects of Error-Management Training on Veterinary Student Performance in Technical Skills Training

Creator:: Meritet, Danielle M.
Abstract:: Conventional training methods in most medical fields seek to avoid errors, framing them as negative consequences instead of as learning opportunities. Error-management training (EMT) contrasts with conventional methods by explicitly encouraging trainees to make errors through low-stakes training modules in an effort to alter perspectives on errors, utilizing them as...

The Role of Bone Marrow Adipose Tissue in Bone Loss During Spaceflight and Simulated Spaceflight in Rodents

Creator:: Keune, Jessica Ann
Abstract:: The reduction in mechanical load imparted on the body during spaceflight presents unique physiological challenges. One detrimental and seemingly unavoidable response to microgravity is rapid bone loss. This adaptation is hazardous not only to astronaut health, but to the success of long-duration exploration-class missions. Skeletal adaptation to spaceflight in astronauts...

Biology and management of Meloidogyne chitwoodi using oxamyl on potato in the western United States

Creator:: David, Nicholas L.
Abstract:: Field trials were conducted during 2001 to 2003 to investigate soil population dynamics of Meloidogyne chitwoodi, tuber symptom suppression using oxamyl, and post-harvest tuber symptom development on short-season potato varieties Russet Norkotah and Russet Nugget (San Luis Valley only). The experiments were located in the San Luis Valley in Colorado,...

Effects of 12 months of voluntary alcohol self-administration on intracortical bone remodeling in a rhesus macaque model

Creator:: Gaddini, Gino W.
Abstract:: Background: Alcohol is a nonessential nutrient widely consumed throughout the world. Chronic alcohol abuse is associated with numerous adverse skeletal effects. However, prior to this study, the effects of alcohol abuse on intracortical bone remodeling in an animal model had not been investigated. Reduced intracortical bone remodeling could impair repair...

An investigation of the influence of root reinforcements on soil strength and the initiation of static liquefaction in forest soils

Creator:: Smith, Russell S.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to investigate the influence of root reinforcements on soil strength and the initiation of static liquefaction in forest soils. The design and operation was developed of an apparatus capable of modeling rainfall-induced shallow hill-slope failures that also permitted observation of the soil volume change tendencies at...

Pragmatism and Pain: the Melioristic Rhetoric of Mirror Box Therapy

Creator:: Thompson, Anna F. B.
Abstract:: The phenomenon of phantom limb pain has been well documented for centuries, but little clinical work has been done to alleviate it. Physician and neuroscientist Vilayanur S. Ramachandran began researching this condition nearly two decades ago, and has discovered a promising alternative treatment: mirror-box therapy. This therapy is not yet...

Hypothalamic Leptin Gene Therapy Does Not Prevent Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss in Rats

Creator:: Jackson, Melanie A.
Abstract:: Post-menopausal women are at an increased risk for osteoporosis due to increased bone resorption associated with estrogen deficiency. Subcutaneous administration of leptin, a hormone produced primarily by adipocytes, attenuates bone loss in the ovariectomized (ovx) rat, an animal model for post-menopausal bone loss. Leptin has both direct peripheral and indirect...

Adoptive Transfer of Purified Hematopoietic Stem Cells Protects Against Bone Loss Following Lethal Radiation

Creator:: Deyhle, Richard Thomas, Jr.
Abstract:: The objectives of this research is to advance human health by evaluating interventions to minimize the detrimental effects of acute whole body gamma irradiation on bone metabolism, bone architecture and bone reconstruction using a mouse model. Total body irradiation (TBI) followed by adoptive transfer of bone marrow from donor animals...
