Healthcare Provider Recommendation and Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Rate among Adolescents ages 13-17

Creator:: Sawtelle, Katie G.
Abstract:: This literature review will outline HPV vaccination rates among those ages 13-17, barriers to HPV vaccination and highlight physician recommendation, the strongest predictor of HPV vaccine uptake. It was found that only about 54.2% of adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 are up to date with HPV vaccination...

Prescription Drug Abuse among 12 to 17 Year Adolescents in the United States

Creator:: Paralkar, Manali P.
Abstract:: This study examines issues related to prescription drug abuse among 12 – 17 year olds in the United States; namely, the physiological effects of prescription medications, current treatments, and prevention methods. The following research questions are addressed: 1) What factors influence and promote the growing prevalence of prescription drug abuse...

Response of reef fish assemblages to overgrowth of the hydrocoral Millepora complanata by the crustose alga Ramicrusta sp.

Creator:: Adams, AnnaRose
Abstract:: Natural disturbances and human activities can alter the benthic composition of coral reefs and other marine ecosystems. Reef fishes that associate with particular structures on the sea floor, such as coral heads, may be vulnerable to perturbations of those habitats. The spread of a newly discovered crustose alga (Ramicrusta sp.)...

Wildfire Severity Has a Minimal Influence on Pollen Diversity Used by Developing Mason Bees (Osmia lignaria) in Mixed Conifer Forest

Creator:: Bell, Nicole C. S.
Abstract:: Native bees are critically important organisms that support biodiversity and crop production via their pollination services. Wildfires in temperate conifer forests can increase bee abundance and flowering plant density due to increased light exposure, but little information is available regarding how wildfire severity influences provisioning to bee offspring, which is...

Statistically Downscaled Precipitation Water Isotope Time Series at NEON Study Sites

Creator:: Spencer, Lindsey
Abstract:: The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) provides open access data products including sub-daily precipitation amounts and biweekly stable water isotope concentrations at sites across the United States. Stable water isotope (ẟ2H, ẟ18O) concentrations are often used in hydrometeorological studies and models, however the relatively infrequent biweekly sampling intervals of NEON...

Adaptation to long-term osmotic stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Creator:: Gosman, Andreea
Abstract:: An important goal of evolutionary biology is to identify the genetic mechanisms underlying phenotypes in organisms. Understanding adaptation to osmotic stress has many applications, since this stress affects almost all organisms on Earth. By studying the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae using experimental evolution, we can learn about genetic mechanisms driving...

A robust Mycobacterium smegmatis Assay for the Discovery of Anti-tubercular Metabolites from Soil Bacteria

Creator:: Chen, Kathryn P
Abstract:: Tuberculosis (TB) is a pressing global health issue with approximately one third of the world’s population infected by this bacterium. As one of the most dangerous infectious diseases, it has killed approximately 1.7 million people of all ages around the world per year (World Health Organization, 2016). Currently, several drugs...

Establishment of an in vitro model to study persistence in Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis

Creator:: Armstrong, Elyssa L.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) is the most common pathogen among non-tuberculous mycobacteria, causing disease in immunocompromised individuals. An intracellular bacterium, MAH resides within the phagosome, a vesicle formed by macrophages as they engulf invading pathogens. Here, a subpopulation of MAH regresses into a nonreplicative state called persistence, allowing them...

Two Advances in Practical Alternative Energy: Thermotolerant Hydrogenase Concentration and Methane Hydrate Grain Size Proxies.

Creator:: Sullivan, Nichole D.
Abstract:: Methane hydrates and biohydrogen are two disparate subjects that are of interest in the growing field of alternative energy research. However, before commercial use becomes a viable option, each has challenges that need to be overcome. Methane hydrates require large investments of time and capital to locate. In this thesis,...

Characterization and application of PEO-containing triblock copolymer surfactants

Creator:: Snider, Joshua L.
Abstract:: The action of pendant, polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush layers as nonfouling coatings for biomedical materials is well understood. However progress toward clinical application of stable, high density PEO coatings has historically been impeded by the lack of cost effective, noninvasive methods for their preparation. Triblock polymers featuring a hydrophobic, polypropylene...
