  • Genetic selection for avian embryo development at an elevated temperature

    Creator:
    Colvin, Wendy R.
    Abstract:
    A genetic selection study to determine the effects on egg hatchability and subsequent chick performance of Japanese quail eggs incubated at a 38.9° C (102° F) dry bulb temperature (Selected, S) when compared to 37.8 C (100°F) (Control, C) was conducted for four consecutive generations. Eggs from a randomly mated...

  • Selection for hatchability of Japanese quail embryos incubated at 102 F

    Creator:
    Colvin, Wendy R.
    Abstract:
    A genetic selection study to determine the effects on egg hatchability and subsequent chick performance of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) eggs incubated at 100 F dry bulb temperature (Control, Line C) when compared to other eggs incubated at 102 F (Selected, Line S) was conducted over 10 consecutive generations. Eggs...

  • Development of a discrete-event, object-oriented framework for network-centric simulation modeling using Java

    Creator:
    Colvin, Kurt
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this research is to develop a network-centric simulation modeling framework that can be used to build simulation models through the use of Internet-based resources. An object-oriented programming approach was used to build a Java-based modeling framework focused on modeling a semiconductor fabrication system. This research is...

  • Factors that affect task prioritization on the flight deck

    Creator:
    Colvin, Kurt W.
    Abstract:
    Cockpit Task Management (CTM) is the initiation, monitoring, prioritization, execution, and termination of multiple, concurrent tasks by night crews. The primary research question posed in the current research is what factors affect task prioritization on the modern day, commercial flight deck. The conventional CTM literature was reviewed as an introduction...

  • Differences in Taste Responses between Tongue Regions

    Creator:
    Colvin, Julie L.
    Abstract:
    Due to a combination of misinterpretation and misleading illustration, the premise of a “tongue map”, which indicated that sweetness could only be detected at the front of the tongue and bitterness could only be detected on the back, became wide spread. In fact, all taste qualities can be detected on...

  • Negotiating conflicted climates : the experiences of transgender students attending women's colleges

    Creator:
    Jones, Whitney K.
    Abstract:
    The conversation regarding transgender students in the context of women's colleges is inherently complicated due to the binary gender system that the existence of women's colleges reinforce. The primary goal of this phenomenological research was to examine the lived experiences of transgender college students at U.S. women's colleges. Because the...

  • Sex Disparities in Adult and Childhood Cancer Incidence

    Creator:
    Fisher, Stephanie A.
    Abstract:
    Studies indicate that many cancers occur more frequently in adult males than females. This male predominance must either be due to disparate environmental exposures or innate, biologic mechanisms, or a combination of the two. Using data and statistical software from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, male:female incidence...

  • A Comprehensive Guide to Effective Communication between Veterinarian and Client: From a Terminal Diagnosis to an End-of-life Discussion

    Creator:
    Thomas, Victoria
    Abstract:
    During the end of a pet’s life its owner is often in emotional turmoil over how to feel and what to do. A veterinarian can alleviate some of this grief by effectively communicating during a terminal diagnosis and end-of-life discussion. Effective communication includes acknowledging the unique human-animal bond between client...
