Comparison of complete blood count and biochemistry panels between cats with and without clinically apparent feline upper respiratory tract disease

Creator:: Duke, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Feline upper respiratory tract disease (FURTD) is a complex syndrome that affects domestic cats, with clinical signs including general malaise, ocular and nasal discharge, and oral pathology. Our study compared the presence or absence of five common FURTD pathogens and routine blood parameters between 18 participating cats. Owners tended to...

A Java implementation of the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm using NIST curves over GF(p)

Creator:: Stadick, Rhea
Abstract:: The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is a public key cryptosystem used for creation and verification of digital signatures in electronic documents. In this thesis, we created a Java applet that provides the functionality of the ECDSA using all of the NIST elliptic curves over GF(p). This applet was...

Protection of Nitrosomonas europaea from Silver Nanoparticle-Induced Inhibition through a Two-Step, Magnesium-Facilitated Mechanism

Creator:: Anderson, Joseph W.
Abstract:: The inhibitory effects of (Ag⁺) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NP) 3-5 nm in diameter (stabilized with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)) and 20 nm (stabilized with citrate) on nitrification rates of the model ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) Nitrosomonas europaea were investigated. Experimental solutions contained HEPES buffer and ammonia (NH₃) in the presence and absence...

Machine Learning and Optimization Applications in Agriculture

Creator:: Molotkov, Alexander
Abstract:: The ever-increasing global population presents looming problems for the field of agriculture. Global food demand will, at some point, increase to the point where there is not enough crop-ready land to keep up. This creates an additional incentive, other than economics, for growers to increase their yield-per-acre and make sure...

Hi-C genome assembly of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Rhizopogon salebrosus

Creator:: Har, Skyler
Abstract:: Rhizopogon salebrosus is an abundant ectomycorrhizal fungus common throughout Western North America that forms mutualistic partnerships with Pinus species. Studied for its systematics, use in sapling nurseries, post-fire seedling establishment, and unique evolutionary history, R. salebrosus holds many secrets within its genome. This thesis aims to characterize the mating system,...

Characterization and application of PEO-containing triblock copolymer surfactants

Creator:: Snider, Joshua L.
Abstract:: The action of pendant, polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush layers as nonfouling coatings for biomedical materials is well understood. However progress toward clinical application of stable, high density PEO coatings has historically been impeded by the lack of cost effective, noninvasive methods for their preparation. Triblock polymers featuring a hydrophobic, polypropylene...

Surfactant Effects on Adsorption of Recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII) at the Air-Water Interface

Creator:: Gray, Warren D.
Abstract:: The primary goal was to characterize the adsorption of a recombinant therapeutic protein in the presence of selected surfactant species at the air-water interface. For this purpose, dynamic interfacial tensiometry was used to determine the surface tension kinetics exhibited by protein solutions containing either Tween 80 or the poly[ethylene oxide]-...

Functionalization of Surfaces with Nisin in a Polyethylene Oxide Brush Layer

Creator:: Ryder, Matthew P.
Abstract:: Infections in hospitals account for over 100,000 deaths per year. These infections occur at the hospital from complications following bacterial adhesion to intravenous catheters, coronary stents and other implanted devices. Another common problem is protein adsorption to the surface of the device and subsequent blood clotting. Methods for combating these...

Dashboard Effectiveness is More Complex than Key Performance Indicators: Feedback mechanisms are the foundation of dashboard success

Creator:: Beeks, Kameron P.
Abstract:: This thesis serves as a literature review of dashboards that calls for further research in the area of Feedback Mechanisms (FMs). A dashboard, for the purposes of this paper is a display used to provide performance feedback to a user. An FM is the mechanism used in a dashboard to...

Examining the Human Relevance of a New Mouse Model of ALS and Observations on the Incidence in Human Populations

Creator:: Winkenbach, Lindsay
Abstract:: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a relatively rare neurodegenerative disorder that is fatal 2-4 years after the onset of the disease. Population studies are being done in order to help reveal candidates for further studies of disease etiology, disease progression, as well as to further understand racial and ethnic variations....
