Assessing the Economic Impacts of Food Assistance Policy Using a Computable General Equilibrium Approach

Creator:: West, Tyler T.
Abstract:: Over the past several years, increases in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) have coincided with the 2007-2008 recession and the higher rates of unemployment in the U.S. With SNAP being the largest program, in terms of spending embedded in the farm bill, it is likely to see some spending...

Transformers for representing microbiome data: an empirical evaluation

Creator:: Varma, Rohan
Abstract:: As the link between human microbiomes and health has become more established, the interest in applying statistical approaches to microbiome data to understand the mechanisms behind these links has grown. However, microbiome data is often of unmanageable size, and consequently, producing quality lower dimensional representations of samples is a significant...

Aesthetics of Curve Approximation

Creator:: Lippincott, Keith
Abstract:: In this work we propose a curve approximation method that operates in the curvature domain. The curvature is represented using one of several different types of basis functions (linear, quadratic, spline, sinusoidal, orthogonal polynomial), and the curve's geometry is reconstructed from that curvature basis. Our hypothesis is that different curvature...

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...

Comparative analysis of genes regulating HDL function and metabolism in macaques and humans

Creator:: Clarke, Jordyn M.
Abstract:: The role of the high density lipoprotein (HDL) molecule is currently an area of great interest within the scientific community. Previously, mouse and human studies have demonstrated an inverse association between HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and cardiovascular disease. Recent clinical trials, which increased HDL-C, have failed to reduce the number...

Study on the Evolution and Expression of the Pyoverdine Receptor FpvA inPseudomonas aeruginosa

Creator:: Singh, Amandip
Abstract:: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous gram-negative bacterium that is capable of causing infections in people who are immune compromised. The bacterium can live in a variety of environments due to the variety of virulence factors it can produce. It is well adapted to living in iron-stringent conditions because it can...

Adding value to renewable biodiesel production from the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi

Creator:: Brosy, Jack R.
Abstract:: Global warming and on-going depletion of fossil fuels have stimulated research to develop renewable sources of energy. Current renewable energy use comprises only 10% of the energy consumed in the US and is focused mostly on generating electricity. The majority of the energy consumed by the US transportation sector is...

Characterization of Mitochondrial Metabolism in L6 Rat Myoblasts

Creator:: Burney, Emily R.
Abstract:: The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide, causing a subsequent increase in insulin resistance (IR), metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Although these conditions significantly impact both the individual and society, their etiologies have not been discovered, inhibiting potential prevention and treatment. Alterations to mitochondrial metabolism are implicated in the development...

A Proposed Treatment System for the Remediation of Landfill Leachate Using Algae

Creator:: Myers, Shanna Grace
Abstract:: Landfill leachate is a complex wastewater that contains high levels of ammonium (often over 250 ppm) and trace heavy metals (usually under 0.2 ppm). Microalgae have been shown to inexpensively and effectively treat wastewaters containing high loads of organics and nutrients, as well as adsorb metal ions. This thesis focuses...

Comparison of Canine Spermatozoa Motility, Morphology, and RNA Integrity Using Three Different Cell Purification Solutions

Creator:: Hegedus, Rachel M.
Abstract:: Transcriptome gene expression studies of sperm RNA have been utilized in a variety of different species to investigate causes of male infertility. Previous research investigators have optimized cell separation and RNA isolation techniques for each species of interest. To date, no study has been completed for dogs. The objective of...
