Drought, dispersal, and community dynamics in arid-land streams

Creator:: Bogan, Michael T.
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanisms that regulate local species diversity and community structure is a perennial goal of ecology. Local community structure can be viewed as the result of numerous local and regional processes; these processes act as filters that reduce the regional species pool down to the observed local community. In...

Himeradine A : synthetic efforts towards himeradine A and related natural products, a Michael reaction focused approach

Creator:: Collett, Nathan D.
Abstract:: Lycopodium alkaloids have generated enormous amounts of interest from the scientific community, both as synthetic targets and for their medicinal properties. Herein is described work towards a unifying approach to large segments of the Lycopodium family. An organocatalyzed intramolecular heteroatom Michael reaction method, for the construction of piperidine and piperizine...

DNA-based identification of commercially important salmon and trout species (genera Oncorhynchus and Salmo) in North America

Creator:: Rasmussen, Rosalee S.
Abstract:: There are seven commercially important species of salmon and trout (genera Oncorhynchus and Salmo) in North America, many of which are closely related but command markedly different prices. The purpose of this research was to provide improved and novel methods for the detection of salmon species substitution on the commercial...

Extraction and production of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrate from Pacific sardines (Sardinops sagax)

Creator:: Okada, Tomoko
Abstract:: Intrinsic characteristics of Pacific sardines were determined. The lipid content in sardines was initially low (6.79%) in the beginning ofthe season, increased to 22.95% in mid-August, and decreased slightly by the end of September. An inverse correlation (R² = -0.90) was found between lipid and moisture content. Analysis showed that...

Effects of Different Strength Levels on the Ability of Older Adults to Recover from Backward or Forward Balance Losses

Creator:: Haberly, Gabriel J.
Abstract:: Falls in older adults are an important concern due to the potential injuries associated with falling. Decreases in muscle strength as a result of natural aging could impair the ability of older adults to prevent either a backward or forward fall. Two musculoskeletal models were used to predict the effect...

Population genetics of ranid frogs : investigating effective population size and gene flow

Creator:: Phillipsen, Ivan C.
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the evolutionary forces of genetic drift and gene flow in frog populations. The balance of these two forces and the force of mutation largely determine the amount of neutral genetic variation within populations as well as the degree of genetic similarity among populations. The stochastic evolutionary...

Rigorous 3D Point Cloud Quality Assessment

Creator:: O'Banion, Matthew S.
Abstract:: The capabilities of modern three-dimensional (3D) capture technology such as laser scanning and image-based 3D reconstruction are well suited to enhance the practice and research of civil engineering. However, given the often-overwhelming focus placed on the incredible capabilities of these tools and techniques, it is important to investigate the limitations...

Chemopreventative and chemotherapeutic properties of whole cruciferous vegetables and phytochemical components in acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma

Creator:: Shorey, Lyndsey E.
Abstract:: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) encompasses a spectrum of lymphoid progenitors that have undergone malignant transformation and clonal proliferation at various stages of differentiation. Some cases of ALL have been documented to have prenatal origins and in particular neonatal exposure to various environmental pollutants is associated with increased disease risk, including...

Detection techniques for biomolecules using semi-conductor nanocrystals and magnetic beads as labels

Creator:: Chatterjee, Esha
Abstract:: Continued interest in the development of miniaturized and portable analytical platforms necessitates the exploration of sensitive methods for the detection of trace analytes. Nanomaterials, on account of their unique physical and chemical properties, are not only able to overcome many limitations of traditional detection reagents but also enable the exploration...

Activation, modification and suppression of sex pheromone production in garter snakes

Creator:: Parker, M. Rockwell
Abstract:: Vertebrates communicate with one another and coordinate intraspecific reproduction by using a variety of sexually dimorphic signals, such as plumage, ornaments, sounds, and/or scents. These sexual dimorphisms are maintained by physiological factors, typically sex-specific hormones (though see Chapter 3 for an exception). The purpose of the research in this dissertation...
