Eco-corona formation and impact on environmentally relevant micro- and nanoplastics

Creator:: McColley, Campbell J.
Abstract:: Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles less than 5 mm in diameter. These contaminants are increasingly found in the environment due to increased plastic production, use, and improper disposal. Detecting and measuring these contaminants in the environment has proven difficult, requiring the use of fate and transport models to assess MP...

The Influence of Engineered Surface Coatings on Nanoparticle Aggregation and Corona Formation: Examinations in Simulated and Real Aquatic Media

Creator:: Surette, Mark C.
Abstract:: Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are small anthropogenic colloids with at least one length dimension <100 nanometers. Due to the nature of their use, ENMs are being increasingly released to the environment. Yet the environmental risks posed by ENMs are unknown due to a variety challenges, including limitations with detecting and quantifying...

Evaluating Biochar for the Sustainable Treatment of Heavy Metals in Stormwater: Characteristics, Mechanisms, and Barriers

Creator:: Burch, Sarah
Abstract:: Heavy metals, such as copper, zinc, and cadmium, are ubiquitous in stormwater and potentially toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations. Removal of heavy metals contamination by conventional treatment is expensive and does not always reduce metals concentrations low enough to ensure safety of all aquatic species. This research seeks...

The effects of resistance exercise on lower extremity power in women with multiple sclerosis

Creator:: Summers, Louisa
Abstract:: A common perspective promoted by health care professionals is that exercise may help reduce symptoms and improve activities of daily living among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). Yet, the effects of resistance exercise on power, functional mobility, and fatigue are largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine...

Calpain 2 proteolysis regulates glioblastoma cell invasion

Creator:: Lal, Sangeet Kumar
Abstract:: Glioblastoma is the most malignant primary brain tumor with the average patients surviving only one year after diagnosis, even with aggressive therapy. The formation of numerous micro-tumors dispersed into the brain due to rapid invasion of tumor cells, presents the primary challenge to the surgical removal of tumors and limits...

The role of the paraeducator in the general physical education environment

Creator:: Bryan, Rebecca R.
Abstract:: The use of paraeducators has increased as a main mechanism to include more students with disabilities in multiple settings in the public schools in the U.S. Research has examined the use of paraeducators in typical classroom settings but little is known about their role in physical education. Although the utilization...

Cellular mechanisms of muscle weakness and fatigability in individuals with multiple sclerosis

Creator:: Garner, Dena J. P.
Abstract:: Muscle weakness and fatigue are debilitating symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Approximately 50% of muscle weakness and fatigue have been attributed to deficits within the peripheral nervous system, specifically mechanisms residing in the muscle. The goals of this study were to identify the cellular mechanisms of contraction within the muscle...

Interactive vs. non-interactive electronically delivered motivational materials for physical activity initiation and enhancement among adults with physical disabilities

Creator:: Kosma, Maria
Abstract:: Participation in physical activity has important health benefits among individuals with disabilities, whereas inactive lifestyles may lead to secondary limiting health conditions. However, few people with disabilities regularly participate in the recommended amount of health-related physical activities. Low rate of participation may be related to low motivation due to interconnected...
