  • Traditional and molecular approaches to Zucchini yellow mosaic virus resistance in Cucurbita

    Creator:
    Brown, Rebecca Nelson
    Abstract:
    Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is an important disease of Cucurbita worldwide. Resistant cultivars are the best means of control. ZYMV resistance is quantitative in the wild species C. ecuadorensis, and is controlled by at least three genes in tropical C moschata. Very little molecular work has been done in...

    Abstract:
    Overweight and obesity are a growing national concern, particularly among women and selected minority populations (Ayala, Elder, Campbell, Slymen, Roy, Engelberg, et al., 2004; NHANES, 2003). Pregnant women bear a disproportionate risk of becoming overweight or obese (Greene, Smickikias-Wright, Scholl, & Karp, 1988; Gunderson et al., 2000; Rossner, 1999). Although...

  • A model-based methodology for the evaluation of computerized group decision making

    Creator:
    McNown Perry, Cindy A.
    Abstract:
    Increased global competition is forcing organizations to increase their use of group decision making today. Computerized group decision support aids (CGDSAs) are being developed to improve the efficiency of these groups and to improve decision quality. Even though the use of CGDSAs has increased, very little research has been done...

  • The effects of ultraviolet irradiation on the photosynthetic apparatus

    Creator:
    Mantai, Kenneth Edward
    Abstract:
    The effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on photosynthesis and various partial reactions involving the individual photoreactions of photosynthesis were examined. These reactions included photo-reduction in adapted green algae, Hill reaction, cyclic photophosphorylation, the 520 nm absorbance change and variable-yield fluorescence. The reactions were measured in spinach chloroplasts and isolated chloroplasts...

  • The role of leptin in normal and pathological bone resorption

    Creator:
    Philbrick, Kenneth Alan
    Abstract:
    Particles generated from wear of prosthesis joint bearing surfaces induce inflammation and promote pathological periprosthetic osteoclast-mediated bone resorption (osteolysis). Obesity increases the risk of prosthesis failure. However, despite being morbidly obese, leptin-deficient ob/ob mice are resistant to osteolysis. These findings suggest that leptin exerts effects that act to increase particle-induced...
