Independent Association of Vitamin D with Prevalent and Incident Outcomes of Heart Attack and Stroke in Elderly Men: A Prospective Cohort Study

Creator:: Messenger, Wyatt
Abstract:: BACKGROUND: The association of vitamin D with heart attack and stroke remains unclear. METHOD: Using data from the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study (MrOS), we collected dietary vitamin D data from 5,995 participants and serum (25)OH vitamin D from 1,606 participants. The association of vitamin D with prevalent heart attack...

Transient Electron Donor Concentration Experiments for the Determination of Dehalogenation Rate and Kinetic Parameter Shifts in an Anaerobic Microbial Culture

Creator:: Green, Jennifer K.
Abstract:: Trichloroethene (TCE) is a common groundwater contaminant. Bioremediation, or the enhancement of natural microbial processes for the transformation of toxic compounds in soil and groundwater, is an effective solution to this widespread problem. The organisms that transform TCE in the subsurface are sensitive to environmental conditions, especially to the presence...

Volumetric-modulated arc radiotherapy for pancreatic malignancies : Dosimetric comparison with helical TomoTherapy

Creator:: Ognjenovic, Sanja
Abstract:: Purpose: To compare target dose conformality and OAR sparing afforded by VMAT and HT for pancreatic cancer. Materials and Methods: A retrospective planning study was performed in 18 patients. Total treatment dose was 59.4Gy. OAR and PTV mean doses, conformity indices, isodose volumes, and integral doses were compared. The relationship...

Comparison and Cultural Review of Biosphere Modeling Using Foliar Uptake of Technetium-99 in Radishes

Creator:: Pierson, Kayla L.
Abstract:: Biosphere models predict the transport of radionuclides in the environment with an end goal of assessing the possible risk to humans. Little data exists to support these mathematical biosphere models. The objectives of this work were to verify foliar uptake in biosphere models using experimental data, compare existing biosphere models...

Illegal to Exist : The Criminalization of Houselessness in the United States

Creator:: Waite, Mariah E.
Abstract:: In the United States, the state of housing and the lack thereof has been declared a national crisis. In response, cities have taken measures to police behaviors that are associated with what they perceive to be disorder and decay. These behaviors are also commonly associated with houselessness. Laws that criminalize...

A multi-faceted method for validating emotional intelligence

Creator:: Reyna, Nicholas R.
Abstract:: The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) purports to assess emotional intelligence, which includes the ability to successfully identify and manage emotions. To test the validity of this claim, 21 students took the MSCIET along with a several other performance measures and personality scales, and their scores were correlated. The MSCEIT...

Impact of pre-fermentation maceration techniques on yeast populations and color of Pinot noir wine

Creator:: Zook, Molly L.
Abstract:: The quality of red wine is primarily determined by the flavor, aroma, and color. A common wine making technique used to improve these characteristics is the pre-‐fermentation maceration. In this study two pre-fermentation maceration techniques were used, one was a traditional cold soak and the second involved addition of dry...

Comparative Studies of Batch and Continuous Processes for the Synthesis of Copper Nanoparticles

Creator:: Ramsing, Patrick E.
Abstract:: The cross over from batch nanoparticle synthesis to continuous synthesis processes is crucial to the commercialization of these materials. This project reports comparative studies of batch and continuous synthese of copper nanoparticles by the polyol method. Continuous synthesis of copper nanoparticles was done utilizing a stainless steel micro-mixer that yielded...

Quantification of Lipoic Acid InducedChanges in Nrf2-Mediated Stress Response

Creator:: Hobbs, Helen T.
Abstract:: As organisms age they lose the ability to respond to both exogenous and endogenous stresses, therefore placing them at a greater risk for the development of many diseases. The transcription factor Nrf2 is responsible for the induction of many oxidative stress response genes and therefore 3proteins. Additionally, Nrf2-mediated stress response...

Variation of phenolics in anthocyanin- and nonanthocyanin- fruit tomatoes

Creator:: Dalotto, Todd F.
Abstract:: Phenolic compounds are known to have biological activity with beneficial effects on human health. Fruit of cultivated tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are a major source of phenolics in the U.S. diet because this crop is the second most consumed vegetable per capita, but actual levels are low compared to other...
