  • Evaluating the Usefulness of a Functional Test Battery for Determining Return to Full Activity in Females with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

    Creator:
    Chang, Eun Wook
    Abstract:
    A functional test battery (FTB), which combines the use of subjective and objective functional measures, has been proposed as a potential means to distinguish anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed (ACLR) patients' that can more safely participate in activity from those at greater risk. However, no previous study has directly assessed whether...

  • Genome-enabled discovery and characterization of type III effector-encoding genes of plant symbiotic bacteria

    Creator:
    Kimbrel, Jeffrey A.
    Abstract:
    Symbiosis is the close and protracted interaction between organisms. The molecular interactions that occur during symbiosis are complex with multiple barriers that must be overcome. Many Gram-negative, host-associated bacteria use a type III secretion system to mediate associations with their eukaryotic hosts. This secretion system is a specialized apparatus for...

    Creator:
    Cumbie, Jason S.
    Abstract:
    Oomycetes are some of the most devastating pathogens, causing upwards of billions of dollars of damage each year to plants. They also diminish ecological diversity and health through the destruction of trees and shrubs. The genome sequence of Pseudoperonospora cubensis, an obligate plant pathogen and causative agent of downy mildew...

    Creator:
    Miller, Robert E.
    Abstract:
    The Teledyne Wah Chang facility is a manufacturer of the rare metal zirconium. The facility has been in constant production since 1956. In 1973 an attempt to utilize different sand ore sources from Nigeria and India in a new carbiding process, prior to chlorination, failed. The resulting byproducts of the...

  • Characterization of the pathogenicity and phylogeny of members of the Rhodococcus genus

    Creator:
    Creason, Allison L.
    Abstract:
    Plant pathogenic Rhodococcus species are persistent pathogens able to cause severe growth deformities on a large range of hosts. The most well studied species, R. fascians is predicted by current models to synthesize a mixture of cytokinins that act to directly perturb the hosts' hormone balances, which results in abnormal...

  • Characterizing the Plant-Associated Symbionts, Rhodococcus and Agrobacterium

    Creator:
    Fuller, Skylar L.
    Abstract:
    Symbioses are a spectrum of interactions between organisms living in closeassociation. These intimate interactions range from mutualism, in which bothorganisms benefit, to parasitism, where one organism benefits at the expense ofthe other. Horizontal gene transfer is the acquisition of genes independent ofvertical transmission and demonstrably promotes the transition of bacteria...

  • Fabrication and characterization of ferrimagnetic film for RF/microwave crosstalk suppression

    Creator:
    Su, Yu-Wei
    Abstract:
    The primary goal of this thesis is to fabricate a magnetic film between the coplanar transmitted stripline for crosstalk suppression. Crosstalk is caused from undesired inductive and capacitive coupling of signals between two conductors. The effective crosstalk suppression results from the inductive coupling of circuit elements through the lossy properties...

    Abstract:
    As a group of promising semiconductor materials, metal chalcogenides in thin film form have been widely used in electronics and optoelectronics applications, such as solar cell devices and photon sensors. Unfortunately, the film size and product throughput are limited by the current vacuum-based thin film deposition techniques. Solution-based thin film...

  • F-tests in partially balanced and unbalanced mixed linear models

    Creator:
    Utlaut, Theresa L.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation considers two approaches for testing hypotheses in unbalanced mixed linear models. The first approach is to construct a design with some type of structure or "partial" balance, so that some of the optimal properties of a completely balanced design hold. It is shown that for a particular type...

    Abstract:
    Dendrimers are nanoscale macromolecules that have highly branched, core-shell structures. Higher generation dendrimers have close-packed peripheral functional groups and a hollow interior. The chemistry of the core and the terminal functionalities can be tailored according to the specific application. These structural characteristics provide room for the design of dendrimers to...

    Abstract:
    Organoleptically, flavored yogurts appear to contain lower levels of acetaldehyde than plain yogurt. This study was undertaken to seek the reasons for this phenomenon by focusing on the analyses of acetaldehyde production by yogurt culture bacteria in yogurt base containing added sucrose and by performing other analyses such as the...
