  • A proteomic approach to 1,2-dichloroethane bioactivation and reaction with redox-active protein disulfide isomerase

    Creator:
    Kaetzel, Rhonda Sue
    Abstract:
    Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a member of the thioredoxin superfamily, contains two domains with significant sequence homology to the active sites in thioredoxin. PDI facilitates the folding of nascent proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), binds hormones and Ca²⁺, catalyzes the glutathione dependent reduction of dehydroascorbate, serves as a major...

  • Selective inhibition of ion absorption by uranyl

    Creator:
    Mason, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    The research presented in this thesis evaluated the effects of uranyl (UO₂⁺⁺) upon the absorption of Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cl. Due to the biological importance of Na and K, these two ions were studied in the greatest detail. The results of this research showed that, at UO₂⁺⁺ concentrations...

  • AppleMgr, a prototype decision aid for apple pest management

    Creator:
    Haley, Sue
    Abstract:
    Computer decision aids can help integrate and apply diverse sources of information and expertise to problems of integrated pest management (IPM) in agriculture and forestry. AppleMgr combines a rule-based expert system with databases and spreadsheets in a prototype decision aid intended to be expanded and modified for use by extension...

  • Connecting microevolutionary processes with macroevolutionary patterns across space and time

    Creator:
    Uyeda, Josef C.
    Abstract:
    Whether microevolutionary processes can explain macroevolutionary patterns has long been a matter of contentious debate. The debate has persisted largely because of the challenging task of connecting microevolutionary theory, which examines population-level phenomena on the generation scale, to data collected across larger spatial and temporal scales. My dissertation research broadly...

  • An examination of subsidies provided by public universities to affiliated foundations

    Creator:
    Hughes, Peter Mark
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to determine the degree to which public universities are providing subsidies to tax-exempt, non-profit, legally distinct corporations which serve as university-affiliated foundations. Specifically, this investigation sought to determine (a) the percentage of universities providing subsidies, (b) the types of subsidies provided, (c) the dollar...

  • Chemical cues and the molecular basis of olfactory chemoreception in caudate amphibians

    Creator:
    Kiemnec, Karen M.
    Abstract:
    Chemoreception is one of the dominant sensory modalities for many species of salamanders (reviewed in Chapter 2). At least seven of the ten currently recognized salamander families are known to respond to some sort of chemical cue. These responses are as varied as delaying hatching, seeking refuge, or initiating aggressive...

  • Mutual mate choice in a terrestrial salamander, Plethodon shermani, with long-term sperm storage

    Creator:
    Eddy, Sarah L.
    Abstract:
    Sexual selection can influence the mating system of an organism through multiple mechanisms. These mechanisms result in variation in reproductive success among individuals, and include scramble competition, endurance rivalries, contests, mate choice and cryptic choice, and sperm competition. Understanding the mating system of a species requires the identification of which...

  • Introductory college chemistry students' understanding of stoichiometry: connections between conceptual and computational understandings and instruction

    Creator:
    Wolfer, Adam J.
    Abstract:
    Previous research has shown a gap between chemistry students' conceptual and computational understandings of chemistry topics such as gas laws, equilibrium, and reactions. This qualitative study examined the conceptual and computational understandings of stoichiometry of college students enrolled in a large lecture Introductory Chemistry course. Factors that might influence students'...

    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...
