  • Cross-resistance to azole fungicides in Zymoseptoria tritici disease of wheat

    Creator:
    Sykes, Emily
    Abstract:
    Fungicide resistance has become an increasing problem in North American populations of Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of septoria leaf blotch of wheat. The goal of this experiment was to determine whether Z. tritici’s resistance to one azole fungicide would predict resistance in other fungicides within the same family. Cross-resistance...

  • Adherence as an in vitro assessment of neutrophil function in alpacas

    Creator:
    Mangan, Emily R.
    Abstract:
    Camelids are known for frequent occurrence of general ill-thrift. In other species, neutrophil dysfunction has been identified as a cause of ill-thrift, and linked to chronic fungal and bacterial infections. However, no reference values exist for neutrophil function testing in camelids, which inhibits accurate evaluation of neutrophil deficiency in this...

  • The Search for Mitochondrial Ribonucleotide Reductase

    Creator:
    Bai, Daniel Helin
    Abstract:
    One of the distinctive features of mitochondria is that they have their own DNA. When compared to nuclear DNA, it is known that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) not only has a much higher rate of spontaneous mutation, but also arises from metabolically distinct precursor pools. Others from our laboratory have demonstrated...

  • Social media styles : The influence of emotion on persuasion through Twitter

    Creator:
    Harris, Jonah
    Abstract:
    Given the unique nature of interpersonal interactions via microblogging sites (such as Twitter), it has become clear that a new generation of political candidates will need to appeal to a new generation of voters by way of an entirely new mechanism: Social networking sites (SNS’s). In order to address the...

  • Variation in Irc7p activity amongst brewing strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Vega, Esteban A.
    Abstract:
    Polyfunctional thiols are sulfur containing compounds that are important to the flavor and aroma profile of some foods and beverages. S. Cerevisiae has been shown in wine yeast that it is capable of producing these thiols to create a fruity aroma and flavor profile. IRC7, a gene that codes the...

  • Sequencing the Mitochondrial Genome of the Common Milkweed: Asclepias syriaca

    Creator:
    Edwards, Christopher A.
    Abstract:
    Few plant mitochondrial genomes have been published to date because of their structural complexity and difficulties in their physical isolation. Plant mitochondrial genomes are known to have a high level of heteroplasmy and can exist as several different circular or linear strands. Sequencing additional mitochondrial genomes will help to understand...

  • Interaction of Design Factors in the Truckload Relay Network Design with Mixed Fleet Dispatching Problem

    Creator:
    Jenks, Christopher L.
    Abstract:
    Truckload carriers operating under a Point-To-Point (PtP) dispatching method seek to minimize miles driven with empty loads. This results in driving tours keeping drivers away from their homes for weeks at a time causing high turnover rates industry wide. One proposed solution combines Relay Network dispatching with existing PtP. This...

  • Sustainable US Federal Water Policy Recommendations

    Creator:
    Kusanto, Nicholas Christopher
    Abstract:
    Climate change, population growth, aging infrastructure, poor water management, and aquifer depletion are reducing US water supply. Increasing water scarcity will lead to an inability to support agriculture, industry, energy, and municipal demand that will negatively affect US economic growth and national security. Traditional water policy measures of expanding supply...
