  • Development of a Bioluminescent Sensor of Isothiocyanates through Genetic Modification of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Validation on Crude Plant Materials

    Creator:
    Hogaboam, Octavia L.
    Abstract:
    Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are produced by roots in a variety of agricultural plants, such as those within the Brassicaceae family. ITCs act as fumigants, and are used to control microbial plant pathogens by adding brassica-origin seed meal to soil prior to replanting. However, there is suggestion that the presence of residual...

  • Optimization of Schizochytrium limacinum SR21 Growth using Different Carbon Sources and Copper Concentrations

    Creator:
    Soo, Steven W.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project was to optimize the biomass growth of Schizochytrium limacinum SR21. This was achieved by studying the effect of various concentrations of glucose, use of pure glycerol and purified crude glycerol as alternative carbon sources, and inhibition of cell growth with the presence of copper. The...

  • Isolated Youth : An Exploration of Solitary Confinement in Juvenile Correctional Facilities

    Creator:
    Thompson, Kristin L.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of the use of solitary confinement and related techniques of isolation in juvenile correctional facilities in the United States. Given that scholars, correctional employees, incarcerated youth, and activists define solitary confinement in varied ways, this thesis attempts to synthesize those...

  • Concentration Effects on Enhanced Particle Removal with Viscoelastic Fluids

    Creator:
    Cashen, Ryan K.
    Abstract:
    Highly elastic solutions have been shown to increase contaminant removal from silicon wafers, indicating the possibility for reduced reliance upon hazardous chemicals and expensive technologies during the fabrication of semiconductor devices. The onset of this enhanced removal is explored using rinsing and siphoning experimentswith polymer fluids of high molecular weights...

  • Activation and Nuclear Translocation of the Transcription Factor Nrf2 by the MAP Kinase Family

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Ngan H.
    Abstract:
    Eukaryotic cells have developed elaborate biochemical processes to counteract oxidative stress, electrophiles, or carcinogens due to environmental insults. One of these important cellular defense mechanisms is mediated by the transcription factor Nrf2 that have been shown to have decrease activity with age. While the process of which Nrf2 is involved...

  • Development of a Smartphone App to Easily Measure Extensional Viscosity

    Creator:
    Swift, Aleesha M.
    Abstract:
    The measurement of extensional viscosity is important in many chemical, biomedical, agricultural, and engineering applications. The determination of extensional viscosity is generally difficult, expensive, and inaccessible outside of research labs. The development of a smartphone application (app) that could use a phone’s high-speed camera to measure this parameter could open...

  • Correlation of NE 1545 expression and cell size in Nitrosomonas europaea exposed to a suite of aromatic hydrocarbons

    Creator:
    Gilroy, Caslin Anne
    Abstract:
    Ammonia oxidizing bacteria, including Nitrosomonas europaea, are inhibited by aromatic hydrocarbons which can be found in wastewater treatment plants. In recent studies, changes have been observed in N. europaea cell size upon exposure to benzene, but not toluene. Additionally, NE 1545, a gene proposed to be involved in fatty acid...

  • Determining the Onset of Reproductive Capacity in Free-Roaming, Unowned Cats

    Creator:
    Bohrer, Ellie
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis was to determine if an underlying biological cause exists for the exuberant reproductive success in free-roaming unowned (FRU) cats. The hypothesis for this thesis was that FRU tom and queen cats have reproductively adapted to man-made sterilization efforts by lowering the age at which they...
