Spatiotemporal Distributions of Bacteria in the Cheddar Production Environment

Creator:: Johnson, Jared D.
Abstract:: Given the many significant roles that bacteria play in modern food manufacturing, it is crucial that we have a fundamental understanding of how bacterial communities assemble and behave in the food manufacturing environment. The focus of this dissertation was to investigate both the spatial and temporal distributions of microbial communities...

The Role of Bone Marrow Adipose Tissue in Bone Loss During Spaceflight and Simulated Spaceflight in Rodents

Creator:: Keune, Jessica Ann
Abstract:: The reduction in mechanical load imparted on the body during spaceflight presents unique physiological challenges. One detrimental and seemingly unavoidable response to microgravity is rapid bone loss. This adaptation is hazardous not only to astronaut health, but to the success of long-duration exploration-class missions. Skeletal adaptation to spaceflight in astronauts...

Inactivation of Clostridium perfringens in Meat Products

Creator:: Alnoman, Maryam M.
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens type A strains are one of the main causative agents of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in human and can cause both food poisoning (FP) and non-food-borne (NFB) diseases. Several factors contribute to the pathogenesis of C. perfringens type A strains including the wide presence of C. perfringens spores with...

Low-temperature depuration and low-temperature high hydrostatic pressure processing as post-harvest interventions for diminishing Vibrio parahaemolyticus contamination in oysters

Creator:: Phuvasate, Sureerat
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis associated with consumption of seafood, particularly raw oysters. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that 45,000 cases of V. parahaemolyticus infection occur each year in the U.S. A recent CDC report revealed that the incidence of...

Rheological Techniques in Characterization and Aiding in the Modification of Soft Matter

Creator:: Daalkhaijav, Uranbileg
Abstract:: Soft matter encapsulates a large array of materials ranging from electronics, plastics, and cosmetics to the biofluids making up all organisms. One of the most important properties of these materials that dictate their functionality is their rheology, which is the flow and deformation behavior in response to stress. The focus...

Production of biohydrodeoxygenated diesel in a novel microscale reactor : Experiments and modeling

Creator:: Atadana, Frederick Williams
Abstract:: Microscale reactors operate in sub millimeter space dimensions. Their small length scale enables process intensification of mass, heat and momentum transport that influence reaction rates. Hence it's possible to observe the true intrinsic reaction kinetics occurring for a set of reactions. In this work a novel microscale reactor for producing...

Novel Experimental Designs and Mathematical Models to Study Fecal Indicator Bacteria Persistence in Surface Water

Creator:: Brooks, Lauren
Abstract:: High counts of fecal indicators, used to signal the potential presence of pathogens associated with untreated waste, result in the classification of water bodies throughout the United States as impaired. Nonpoint sources of unknown origin that contribute to fecal contamination make management of impaired waters challenging, as they are difficult...

Investigating the Impact of Temperature and Air Quality on Human Health in At-Risk Populations

Creator:: Evoy, Richard E.
Abstract:: Climate change is causing people around the world to experience extreme temperature and air pollution events such as wildfires more frequently, and for longer periods of time. Extreme heat events have been widely associated with an increased risk of emergency room visits, occupational heat-related injuries and illnesses, and mortality overall...

A Promising Approach for Preventing of Diet-Induced Obesity and Fatty Liver Using Tetrahydroxanthohumol, A Synthetic Derivative of Xanthohumol

Creator:: Zhang, Yang
Abstract:: Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) affect over 1.9 billion adults and 12.7 million youth in the US. If all of today’s obese American youth become obese adults, the total societal costs over their lifetime may exceed $1.1 trillion. We show that feeding rodents a high-fat diet supplemented with xanthohumol (XN)...

Elucidating the Patterns of Cooccurrence, Spatial Structuring, and Impact on Fermentation Metabolism in Kombucha Microbial Communities

Creator:: Harrison, Keisha Rose
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the microbial diversity and factors influencing the assembly of microbial communities in kombucha production, using a combination of 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, 16S and ITS rRNA metabarcoding, and traditional culture-based microbiological methods. It also explores the diversity of kombucha starter cultures through shotgun sequencing and metabarcoding...
