Sound and Vibration Analysis of Alternative Rumble Strips

Creator:: Horne, Dylan Ross
Abstract:: Roadway departure crashes accounted for 18,275 fatal crashes in 2017 across the United States (Jones et al. 2017). Rumble strips (RS) provide audible and haptic interior alert when a vehicle is departing the roadway reducing run-off-the road crashes. Although inexpensive to install, and easy to maintain, RS are not installed...

The Effects of Toxicity Inhibitors on the Cytotoxicity of Cryoprotective Agents using a High-Throughput Experimental Set-up

Creator:: Ampo, Emi
Abstract:: Even with advanced medical technology, there is still an unmet need for organs to reduce the transplant waiting list and to advance organ-related research. Cryopreservation through vitrification is one possible solution to increase organ availability. A major challenge with cryopreservation of organs is the toxicity of the cryoprotectants (CPAs) that...

Wood-Rotting Fungal Pigments as Colorant Coatings on Oil-Based Textile Dyes: A Detailed View of the Interaction between Fungal Pigments and Some Commercial Fabrics

Creator:: Palomino Agurto, Mardonio
Abstract:: Natural dyes have been used to color textiles for centuries, but with the shift to mass production, the use of synthetic dyes has increased due to their lower cost and easy manufacturing volume. However, synthetic dyes (such as disperse blue dyes 106 and 124) have been reported to cause skin...

Shelf life of wholewheat bread: effects of sourdough and sweeteners

Creator:: Ross, Andrew S., Kongraksawech, Teepakorn, Chen, Daisy, and Kunitomo, Kellen Ka'imipono Takeharu
Abstract:: Acidifying the dough had the largest impact on the mold-free shelf life in these versions of the approachable loaf. Breads made from microbially acidified doughs with 12% of the flour prefermented remained mold-free, on average, for six to nine days. Breads made from yeast-risen doughs had, on average, only five...

Toward Sustainable Cultivation of Pinus occidentalis Swartz in Haiti: Effects of Alternative Growing Media and Containers on Seedling Growth and Foliar Chemistry

Creator:: Hubbel, Kyrstan L., Ross-Davis, Amy L., Pinto, Jeremiah R., Burney, Owen T., and Davis, Anthony S.
Abstract:: Haiti has suffered great losses from deforestation, with little forest cover remaining today. Current reforestation efforts focus on seedling quantity rather than quality. This study examined limitations to the production of high-quality seedlings of the endemic Hispaniolan pine (Pinus occidentalis Swartz). Recognizing the importance of applying sustainable development principles to...

Pillaging Bloodwood: An Exploratory Examination of Illegal Deforestation in Guinea-Bissau Through Forest Disturbance Algorithms and Unsupervised Clustering Techniques

Creator:: Walters, Alexander E.
Abstract:: Environmental crime around the world, such as trafficking in illegal timber, is directly related to political instability. Traffickers exploit weak, fragile, and chaotic political circumstances to illegally extract high-value commodities, challenging the extent to which conservation goals are achievable in resource rich developing countries. Rosewood is the largest traded endangered...

High resolution lake sediment record reveals self-organized criticality in erosion processes regulated by internal feedbacks

Creator:: Colombaroli, D., Gavin, D. G., Morey, A. E., and Thorndycraft, V. R.
Abstract:: Reconstruction of high-frequency erosion variability beyond the instrumental record requires well-dated, high-resolution proxies from sediment archives. We used computed tomography (CT) scans of finely laminated silt layers from a lake-sediment record in southwest Oregon to quantify the magnitude of natural landscape erosion events over the last 2000years in order to...

Source levels of foraging humpback whale calls

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H., Matthews, Leanna P., Gabriele, Christine M., Mellinger, David K., and Klinck, Holger
Abstract:: Humpback whales produce a wide range of low-to mid-frequency vocalizations throughout their migratory range. Non-song "calls" dominate this species' vocal repertoire while on high-latitude foraging grounds. The source levels of 426 humpback whale calls in four vocal classes were estimated using a four-element planar array deployed in Glacier Bay National...

Microsatellite Markers for Red Drum, Sciaenops ocellatus

Creator:: Saillant, E., Cizdziel, K., O'Malley, Kathleen G., Turner, T. F., Pruett, C. L., and Gold, J. R.
Abstract:: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers are reported for 68 nuclear-encoded microsatellites developed during the past several years from genomic libraries of red drum (Sciaenops ocelwtus). All68 microsatellites were tested for reproducibility and polymorphism on a sample of five to 12 red drum; 60 of the microsatellites were found to be...

First Direct Evidence for Natal Wintering Ground Fidelity and Estimate of Juvenile Survival in the New Zealand Southern Right Whale Eubalaena australis

Creator:: Carroll, E. L., Fewster, R. M., Childerhouse, S. J., Patenaude, N. J., Boren, L., and Baker, C. S.
Abstract:: Juvenile survival and recruitment can be more sensitive to environmental, ecological and anthropogenic factors than adult survival, influencing population-level processes like recruitment and growth rate in long-lived, iteroparous species such as southern right whales. Conventionally, Southern right whales are individually identified using callosity patterns, which do not stabilise until 6–12...

Positive Impact of Nutritional Interventions on Serum Symmetric Dimethylarginine and Creatinine Concentrations in Client-Owned Geriatric Cats

Creator:: Hall, Jean A., MacLeay, Jennifer, Yerramilli, Maha, Obare, Edward, Yerramilli, Murthy, Schiefelbein, Heidi, Paetau-Robinson, Inke, and Jewell, Dennis E.
Abstract:: A prospective study was conducted in client-owned geriatric cats to evaluate the short- term effects of a test food on serum symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and creatinine (Cr) concentrations. Test food contained functional lipids (fish oil), antioxidants (vitamins C and E), L-carnitine, botanicals (vegetables), highly bioavailable protein, and amino acid supplements....

Addressing Challenges in the Application of Animal Movement Ecology to Aquatic Conservation and Management

Creator:: Ogburn, Matthew B., Mills Flemming, Joanna E., Harrison, Autumn-Lynn, Cooke, Steven J., Torres, Leigh G., and Whoriskey, Frederick G.
Abstract:: The dynamic nature of most environments forces many animals to move to meet their fundamental needs. This is especially true in aquatic environments where shifts in spatial ecology (which are a result of movements) are among the first adaptive responses of animals to changes in ecosystems. Changes in the movement...

Carbon Aerogel-Supported Nickel and Iron for Gasification Gas Cleaning. Part I: Ammonia Adsorption

Creator:: Gomez-Capiro, Oscar, Hinkle, Adrian, Delgado, Aaron M., Fernandez, Camila, Jimenez, Romel, and Arteaga-Perez, Luis E.
Abstract:: Biomass gasification is a promising way to obtain green energy, but the gas composition makes it unsuitable for use in traditional technologies (i.e., IC engine). Gas purification over nickel and/or iron catalysts is an attractive alternative. Cellulose-based carbon aerogels (CAGs) have shown suitable physical chemical properties for use as catalyst...

Evidence of age-related improvement in the foraging efficiency of Adelie penguins

Creator:: Lescroel, Amelie, Ballard, Grant, Massaro, Melanie, Dugger, Katie, Jennings, Scott, Pollard, Annie, Porzig, Elizabeth, Schmidt, Annie, Varsani, Arvind, Gremillet, David, and Ainley, David
Abstract:: Age variation in reproductive performance is well-documented but the mechanisms underlying this variation remain unclear. Foraging efficiency is likely to be a key source of demographic variation as it determines the amount of energy that can be invested in fitness-related activities. Evidence of age related changes in the foraging efficiency...
