  • Vaccinia virus I7L core protein proteinase

    Creator:
    Byrd, Chelsea M.
    Abstract:
    Vaccinia virus (VV) is a large double-stranded DNA virus that is a prototypic member of the orthopoxvirus family. Previous works has showed that three of the major structural proteins found within the mature VV virion core 4a, 4b, and 25K are produced from higher molecular weight precursors at late times...

  • Initial in vitro and in vivo Characterization of the Membrane Trafficking Protein Fer1L6

    Creator:
    Wolk, Chelsea
    Abstract:
    A fundamental difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the presence of membrane bound organelles in eukaryotes. The dynamics of membrane trafficking within the cell are responsible for everything from intercellular communication and cell homeostasis, to mitosis, cell migration, and differentiation. These processes require exocytosis and compensatory endocytosis, often working...

  • The myth of student conduct

    Creator:
    Kott, Chelsea A.
    Abstract:
    Student conduct has become increasingly significant in higher education as demands to address campus safety, student behaviors, and classroom management are increasingly prominent. Existing research focuses on the efficacy of student conduct policies and practices, but has not established how individuals understand student conduct as a myth, or a concept...

  • On Morality, Psychology, and Conservation: An Interdisciplinary Appraisal of Ethics in Context

    Creator:
    Batavia, Chelsea K.
    Abstract:
    Conservation is, among other things, the expression of a relationship between humans and nonhuman nature. This relationship can be described empirically using the methods of social science, but it can also be prescribed in the form of philosophical arguments. Scholars in the field of environmental ethics have discussed and debated...

  • Plant-Pollinator Interactions in a Changing World: Cryptic Specialization, Pollinator Movement, and Landscape Genetics of Pollinator-Dependent Plants

    Creator:
    Gannon, Dustin G.
    Abstract:
    Plant-pollinator mutualisms are one of the most prevalent and economically important mutualisms in nature. Like many other ecological systems, plant-pollinator communities are threatened by anthropogenic activity, both directly (e.g., habitat conversion and fragmentation) and indirectly (e.g., climate change). While we are aware of many of the activities that adversely impact...

  • Machine Learning Techniques to Model Species Interactions and Distributions Under Imperfect Detection

    Creator:
    Seo, Eugene
    Abstract:
    Ecological domains seeking to understand the environment and the behavior of species have received little attention in machine learning (ML), despite the fact that environmental changes have a significant impact on humans as well as ecosystems. Some ecological problems can be formulated similarly to other common ML applications, but there...

  • Comparative Aquatic Toxicology of Pesticides and Plastics Using the Model Estuarine Fish, Inland Silverside

    Creator:
    Hutton, Sara J.
    Abstract:
    Based on current trends both pesticide and plastic production are expected to continue to rise in the coming decade. A growing global population coupled with the effects of climate change are the main drivers of increased pesticide use. Throughout this dissertation pesticides refer to herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. Plastic production...

  • Boundary layer transition

    Creator:
    Bakhshi, Vidya Sagar
    Abstract:
    Transition phenomena commonly occur in nature. These arise either due to structural or behavioral changes in the medium. Examples for these abound in all applied sciences and to mention a few of these, we have, boundary layer, elastic-plastic deformation, and shocks. The present work is devoted to the study of...

  • Notions of complexity in substitution dynamical systems

    Creator:
    Wing, David Josiah
    Abstract:
    There has been a lot of work done in recent decades in the field of symbolic dynamics. Much attention has been paid to the so-called "complexity" function, which gives a sense of the rate at which the number of words in the system grow. In this paper, we explore this...

  • Anaerobic biodegradation of the cyclic nitramines, RDX and HMX, by ovine ruminal microbes

    Creator:
    Eaton, Hillary L.
    Abstract:
    Cyclic nitramines released into all environmental compartments through anthropogenic activities are toxic and possibly carcinogenic and mutagenic. Soils on military ranges, located throughout the world in various climatic regions and close to human activities, are especially susceptible to cyclic nitramine contamination. The properties of soils on military ranges will directly...
