Identifying a Ranking of Plant Preferences for a Pollinator

Creator:: Krishna Kumaran, Sneha
Abstract:: Pollinators are an integral part of agriculture and the ecosystem. However, due to changing land use, populations of wild pollinators are decreasing and plant distributions are changing all around the world. To understand how plant-pollinator networks will adapt over time, we would like to understand how pollinators choose flowers to...

Mutagenic Analysis of Victorin Sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana and Avena sativa

Creator:: Seshadri, Rishi S.
Abstract:: The fungal pathogen Cochliobolus victoriae, the causal agent of Victoria blight, produces a host-selective pathogenicity factor called victorin. In Arabidopsis thaliana, a dominant gene called "supersense" (SSN) confers constitutive victorin sensitivity at very low concentrations. SSN encodes a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (NB-LRR) protein. In the SSN-carrying Heiligkreuztal 2 ecotype (TAIR Germplasm...

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...

An Accumulation of Senescent Cells May Contribute to Chronic Inflammation of the Mammalian Liver

Creator:: Sugiyama, Aaron
Abstract:: The aging process is a biological phenomenon in mammals that heavily contributes to the onset of chronic diseases. While there are many theories that attempt to explain the biological onset of aging, one emerging theory involves chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation has been previously linked to several age-related diseases and is...

Investigation of Magnesium Dioxybenzenedicarboxylate (Mg-DOBDC) Thin-film Deposition onto Modified Glass Substrates

Creator:: Haning, Evan J.
Abstract:: Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline compounds formed from reacting a metal ion with an organic ligand. They represent a promising new avenue in materials science for gas separations and storage. Certain MOFs, in particular Mg-MOF-74, have shown a strong affinity for the capture of CO2. This project investigated a known...

Change in Hydraulic Conductivity of Expansive Soils

Creator:: Hesseltine, Johnathon
Abstract:: Swelling soils cause millions of dollars of damage to buildings every year in the Unites States alone. One essential piece to understanding these soils is to understand how water moves through them. Hydraulic conductivity is a measure of how easily water flows through a soil. Currently, the most common method...

Metal-organic framework thin film synthesis via a microfluidic pen system

Creator:: Chang, Victoria
Abstract:: ZIF-8, a zeolitic imidazolate framework that consists of zinc ions and imidazolate linkers, is of great interest due to its simple synthesis methods, low-cost raw materials, chemical and thermal stability, as well as its stability in moist environments. Furthermore, due to its unique structure, it contains well-defined pores that have...

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...

Correlation Between Fine Particulate Matter and Traffic Type and Density in Curitiba, Brazil

Creator:: Fantoni, Costanza
Abstract:: Traffic exhaust is an important source of air pollution. This exposure assessment study examined traffic related air pollution in Curitiba, Brazil, and is particularly relevant due to 75% of the population using diesel public transportation. Traffic density was tabulated, and vehicle-type was distinguished based on their fuel type (diesel or...

Modelling Gas Adsorption inside Metal-Organic Frameworks using a Grand-Canonical Monte Carlo Algorithm

Creator:: York, Arthur H.
Abstract:: Metal-organic frameworks are promising novel materials for gas storage and separations because of their extremely high internal surface area and their modular structures based on metal nodes and organic linker molecules. Due to their modular design, it is possible to finely tune a structure for optimal storage of a specific...
