  • Investigation and Implementation of a Liquid Feeding System for the Apis mellifera Honey bee under Laboratory Conditions

    Creator:
    Meador, Brett W.
    Abstract:
    Studying honey bee behavior is a very important aspect of horticulture, especially in recent years as honey bee colonies face population decline, or colony collapse. While studying honey bees, researchers often keep honey bees in captivity, where it can be challenging to meet nutritional and hydration requirements using existing liquid...

  • An Analysis of Post-Medieval Ceramics from the Pendle Hill Witches Archaeological Excavation

    Creator:
    Connolly, Madeleine E.
    Abstract:
    This analysis seeks to (1) establish a typology of the post-medieval ceramics from the Malkin Tower site, (2) determine vessel forms and extrapolate site function, and (3) establish a tentative chronology for the site. Over four hundred post-medieval ceramic artifacts from the Malkin Tower site were analysed via descriptive and...

  • Examination of Dielectric Properties of BaTiO3-SrTiO3 Based Systems

    Creator:
    Trobough, Nathaniel D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the dielectric properties of two systems based on the perovskite materials barium titanate and strontium titanate. A solid solution was created starting with these base materials and then adding varying amounts of bismuth-zinc titanate and sodium niobate. These compositions were calcined and sintered at temperatures determined to...

  • Punitive Versus Rehabilitative Educational and Prison Systems: An In-Depth Comparison and Analysis of the School-to-Prison Pipeline

    Creator:
    Hawash, Sarra M.
    Abstract:
    Youth in the United States of America are disproportionately affected by the School-to-Prison Pipeline, especially low-income and/or BIPOC youth. This is a result of centuries of historical classism and racism that serve as the foundation of the United States and is directly correlated with mass incarceration and the Prison Industrial...

  • Retention Capacity of Biochar Infiltration Columns for Escherichia coli

    Creator:
    Lesch, Samantha
    Abstract:
    With a growing demand for renewable sources of freshwater around the world, stormwater offers a potential solution. However, various pollutants can be present within stormwater, such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria, that present a danger to human health if stormwater is used for agricultural purposes. Biochar has the capability to remove bacteria...

  • Utilization of ground peanut husk as an alternative fiber material for particleboard

    Creator:
    Newton, Jacob A.
    Abstract:
    This research examined the potential for using peanut husk as a fiber alternative to wood in the production of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) particleboard. MF resin was used to produce panels with one, three, six, nine or 12 percent resin contents. Modulus of Rupture (MOR), Modulus of Elasticity (MOE), Internal Bond (IB)...

  • The efficacy and costs of plasma transfusion in naturally diseased horses

    Creator:
    Busby, Madeleine F.
    Abstract:
    Hypoproteinemia secondary to gastrointestinal disease in horses has traditionally been treated with the administration of colloids such as equine plasma or hetastarch. While plasma transfusion is common, evidence-based guidelines for its use in hypoproteinemic horses are lacking. This study involved prospective and retrospective components that aimed to weigh the efficacy...

  • A Dive into the Pacific Fish Microbiome: Exploration of Antibiotics from a Unique Ecosystem

    Creator:
    Austin, Molly C.
    Abstract:
    With the rise of resistant bacterial pathogens, currently prescribed antibiotics are rendered useless. In recent years, marine natural products (MNPs) have emerged as novel sources for drug leads. The ocean is a complex environment where marine animals cohabitate with many, and sometimes harmful microorganisms and viruses, but resist infections. Developed...

  • Machine Learning and Optimization Applications in Agriculture

    Creator:
    Molotkov, Alexander
    Abstract:
    The ever-increasing global population presents looming problems for the field of agriculture. Global food demand will, at some point, increase to the point where there is not enough crop-ready land to keep up. This creates an additional incentive, other than economics, for growers to increase their yield-per-acre and make sure...
