Physiological and biochemical characteristics of two cultivars of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) under different environmental conditions

Creator:: Fino, Antonio Carlos
Abstract:: Two cultivars of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) with contrasting growth habits were studied under field and growth chamber conditions. Fawn, an established cultivar since 1964, and TFM, an experimental line, were observed to grow better during spring and fall months respectively, in the field. Different temperature regimes of 10/4,...

Rapid endangered species assessment : a novel approach to improve extinction risk assessments in poorly known species

Creator:: Bianchi, Carlos A.
Abstract:: The number of endangered species is rapidly increasing while paucity of adequate information and resources delays establishment of conservation actions. The IUCN’s listing system is insufficient to determine conservation priorities and many species lack information even to be evaluated (i.e., “data deficient”). Here I proposed and tested the Rapid Endangered...

Survival Assessment, Inactivation Kinetics Models, and Farm-to-Table Quantitative Risk Analysis of Food Pathogens

Creator:: Deng, Kai
Abstract:: About 48 million cases of Foodborne illnesses (FBIs) are estimated to occur every year in the US. These are diseases caused by contamination of foods with bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasites and toxic chemicals. Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) are an important health-care and community associated problem. Since C. difficile spores have...

Impact of parameter variability on the food process engineering calculations required for safety, quality and shelf-life estimations

Creator:: Chotyakul, Nattaporn
Abstract:: Quantitative procedures were developed to determine the effect of variability in the model parameters required for the estimation of microbial shelflife and thermal processing time. Monte Carlo simulations combined with these predictive models were implemented in Microsoft Excel™. In the first study, predictive models were used for shelf-life predictions based...

Effect of molecular conformation on the surface properties of polyelectrolyte solutions : xanthan gum model studies

Creator:: Young, San Land
Abstract:: A commercially important polyelectrolyte, xanthan, was chosen for a systematic analysis of the relationship between molecular conformation and surface properties. In the first study the effects of ionic strength, xanthan concentration and temperature on the xanthan molecular conformation were investigated by potentiometric titration. The effects of the same factors and...

Rattail fescue (Vulpia myuros) control in Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) grown for seed

Creator:: Reyes, Carlos C.
Abstract:: Italian ryegrass growth and production from positionally selective applications and sublethal rates of a nonselective herbicide were compared to growth and production when treated with diuron applied preemergence as a broadcast treatment and safened by activated carbon applied over the crop row. In the positionally selective treatments, herbicide spray was...

Hierarchical graphical models for activity recognition in videos

Creator:: Amer, Mohamed R.
Abstract:: This dissertation addresses the problem of recognizing human activities in videos. Our focus is on activities with stochastic structure, where the activities are characterized by variable space-time arrangements of actions, and conducted by a variable number of actors. These activities occur frequently in sports and surveillance videos. They may appear...

Interactive visualization of diversity in multivariate data sets unified across fields of study

Creator:: Pham, Tuan N. T.
Abstract:: The study of the diversity of multivariate objects shares common characteristics across disciplines, including ecology and organizational management. Nevertheless, experts in these two disciplines have adopted somewhat separate diversity concepts and analysis techniques, limiting the ability of potentially sharing and cross comparing these concerns. Moreover, while complex diversity data may...
