  • Animal Farming, Pollution, and Community Health

    Creator:
    Weinerman, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    Health effects stemming from animal feeding operations pollution in the contiguous United States are analyzed using a 20-year, county-level data set. Several quasi-experimental, potential outcome models are used to estimate the impact of high concentrations of animal units on mortality rates and other health and economic outcomes over a 20-year...

  • Quantities of prostaglandins in whole and extended bovine semen and their potential effect on fertility following insemination

    Creator:
    Jaeger, John Ralph
    Abstract:
    Our objectives were to determine 1) the concentration of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) in whole and extended bovine semen, 2) if concentrations of prostaglandins in extended bovine semen are correlated to fertility, and 3) if PGF2α administered at the time of artificial insemination would improve conception rate. Concentration of PGF2α tended...

  • Land use policy and property value

    Creator:
    Grout, Cyrus A.
    Abstract:
    A plethora of land use policies are implemented at the local, state, and federal levels to influence the manner in which land is utilized. The distribution of the costs and benefits associated with implementing such land use policies always has been, and will continue to be, a source of contention....

  • Mitochondrial glutathione and the effect of perturbed calcium homeostasis on rat hepatocyte thiols

    Creator:
    Olafsdottir, Kristin
    Abstract:
    Recent studies have demonstrated that perturbations of intracellular thiol and calcium homeostasis may be important events in the early development of cell injury by toxic chemicals. Incubation of isolated rat hepatocytes in a calcium free medium, severely depleted intracellular Ca²⁺ levels and resulted in the loss of both cytosolic and...

  • Using the Microbial Tree of Life to Describe Mammalian Health and Disease

    Creator:
    Arnold, Holly Kristin
    Abstract:
    The past decade of research has potentiated a revolution in our understanding of mammalian health and evolution by revealing that the gut microbiome plays a central role in mammalian physiology. Our ability to unlock this potential hinges upon the identification of specific groups of gut microbes that elicit effects on...

  • Regulation by male-specific fruitless of neural circuitry used during courtship and copulation behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

    Creator:
    Latham, Kristin Lynn
    Abstract:
    Courtship and copulation behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster males are regulated by sex-specific products from the gene fruitless (fru). Male-specific FRU proteins (FRU[superscript M]) are putative transcription factors of the BTB-ZnF family that likely act by controlling development and maintenance of the neural circuitry used during male sexual behavior. However, which...

  • Mathematical knowledge for teaching proof

    Creator:
    Lesseig, Kristin
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to detail mathematical knowledge that supports the work of teaching proof and to investigate how such knowledge is evidenced in professional development (PD). To advance the construct of mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) in the context of proof, I developed a framework of MKT...

  • Characterization of the molecular foundations and biochemistry of alkane and ether oxidation in a filamentous fungus, a Graphium species.

    Creator:
    Skinner, Kristin M.
    Abstract:
    Graphium sp., a eukaryotic alkanotroph, is able to oxidize small-molecular weight gaseous n-alkanes, diethyl ether and the branched ether, methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE). However, information regarding the biochemistry of fungal-mediated alkane and ether metabolism is limited, and questions regarding the identity of alkane oxidation catalysts and the genetic underpinnings...

  • Karl Jordan : a life in systematics

    Creator:
    Johnson, Kristin Renee
    Abstract:
    Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the...
