Abstract:: Cystic ovarian disease (COD) is an anovulatory condition in cattle that afflicts between 6-18% of all dairy cows in the US. Ovulation is dependent on the plasminogen activator (PA) family of proteases and protease inhibitor for proteolysis, culminating in follicular rupture. Failure of the follicle to ovulate suggests an aberration...

Creator:: Sorensen, NaDene S.
Abstract:: We evaluated the regeneration behavior and early growth rates of 10 non-pioneer canopy tree species in medium-height, semi-evergreen dry tropical forest in Quintana Roo, Mexico. These species provide timber and non-timber forest products for local communities and include evergreen and deciduous species with varied dispersal mechanisms. The species were Coccoloba...

Creator:: Zahr, Camille Reda
Abstract:: Temperature influences the incidence of chemically induced cancer in fish, with warmer temperatures being associated with higher cancer incidence. The mechanisms of temperature-modulated chemical carcinogenesis in fish, however, have not been described in detail. Therefore, one primary objective of this study was increased understanding of how temperature-modulated genotoxicity of 7,12-...

Abstract:: Legumes are defined as the immature, germinated, or mature edible seeds of legume plants (Fabaceae). The primarily consumed legumes are dry beans, dry peas, lentils, chickpeas, cowpeas, fava beans, and pigeon peas, which are grouped as mature legumes, green beans and peas, which are considered green legumes, and sprouted or...

Creator:: Larkey, Nicholas E.
Abstract:: One post-transcriptional mechanism that regulates the progression of cancer and other diseases involves small 22-23 nucleotide sequences called microRNA (miR). Early detection of small changes in concentration of these biomarkers holds potential to diagnose diseases at their earliest stages. Use of current nucleic-acid based biosensors, like molecular beacons, for in...

Creator:: Phadungsontikul, Sarintip
Abstract:: Water is an essential natural resource for human survival and plays an important role in food, manufacturing, and energy systems, as well as in ecosystem maintenance. The rapid increase in global water demand is due to economic and social development competition. At the same time, water availability and access to...

Creator:: Krueger, Taylor D.
Abstract:: Ultrafast spectroscopy has recently gained momentum as a powerful, noninvasive characterization toolset capable of studying a diverse array of samples with applications in chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, and more. Two popular ultrafast spectroscopic techniques include femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) and femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS). The latter of these techniques...
