Factors affecting the antimicrobial activity of vitamin K₅

Creator:: Merrifield, Larry Stanford
Abstract:: Vitamin K₅, 4-amino-2-methyl-1-naphthol hydrochloride, a water soluble analog of vitamin K has been shown to possess an antimicrobial activity toward many bacteria, molds, and yeast. Much of the work reported in the literature is on its use as a food preservative, and it was the purpose of this study to...

Population dynamics, extraction, and response to nematicide of three plant parasitic nematodes on peppermint (mentha piperita L.)

Creator:: Merrifield, Kathryn J.
Abstract:: The efficiencies of wet sieving/sucrose centrifugation (WS/SC) recovery of Pratylenchus penetrans (59 %), Paratylenchus sp., (80 %), and Criconemella xenoplax (66 %) were established. Baermann funnels (BF) recovered significantly more P. penetrans (p = 0.01) and significantly less (p = 0.01) C. xenoplax than did WS/SC. While densities of P....

Design and Modeling Techniques for Impedance Based Flow Cytometry

Creator:: Dawes, Jacob
Abstract:: Microfluidic devices have enabled lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems that allow for complex sample analysis and preparation in a compact form factor. One technology that may benefit from a microfluidic approach and further miniaturization is flow cytometry. Flow cytometry is an analysis technique for enumerating and characterizing populations of cells; this is...

Closing the Gap : Using Theory to Analyze the African American Division 1 Football Player Graduation Gap

Creator:: Smith, Dorian
Abstract:: African American male students are a small portion of the student body at NCAA Division 1-A schools, but they make up a large portion of population of college football players. African American male college students are also one of the most at-risk student populations on campus in regards to retention....

African American/Black Upward Mobility through Sports : A Critical Analysis

Creator:: Smith, Michael D.
Abstract:: Research has shown that African Americans/Blacks, especially those with low socioeconomic status, acknowledge athletics as an avenue for upward mobility (Coakley, 2011). Although the chances of becoming a professional athlete might seem unachievable through sports, athletes develop tangible and intangible abilities that transfer and are useful in the years following...

Automated Tradeoff Analysis of Cost Versus Machinability for Design Feedback

Creator:: Grier, Alan Thomas
Abstract:: As CAD tools become more sophisticated, engineers are able to more easily create complex part geometries with minimal mass given strength and stiffness requirements. However, these complex part geometries can be difficult to subtractively manufacture, which consequently increases manufacturing cost and production time. This thesis presents a method independent of...

Overstory Growth, Structural Development, and Regeneration Success Following Uneven-Aged Conversion Treatments in Douglas-fir Plantation of the Cascade Range in Oregon

Creator:: Marcum, Sean R.
Abstract:: Uneven-aged management has been suggested as a method for balancing biodiversity conservation and wood production goals from managed forests in a variety of regions. In coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests of the Pacific Northwest, implementation of uneven-aged management is hindered by a lack of experience with uneven-aged silvicultural systems, including...

Automated Synthesis of Planar Mechanisms with Revolute, Prismatic and Pin-In-Slot Joints

Creator:: Huang, Weifeng
Abstract:: The intent of this research is to explore the entire design space of mechanism topologies by using a graph grammar synthesis approach. A new graph representation of planer mechanism has been developed to represent the planar mechanism with revolute (R), prismatic (P), and pin-in-slot (RP) joints. Following Gruebler's equation, the...

Dividing Complex Parts into Multiple Pieces for Advanced Joining and Additive Manufacturing

Creator:: Massoni, Brandon R.
Abstract:: Poor material utilization is inherent to conventional manufacturing processes, leading to high material waste and machining times. Additive manufacturing processes attempt to solve this issue by allowing production of near-net shapes, but the processes may be too expensive or infeasible. By leveraging both processes in a single part, the waste...

Of dragons, palaces, and gods : a mormon perspective on C. S. Lewis

Creator:: Garrett, Christopher Edward
Abstract:: During his lifetime C. S. Lewis chose to speak to Christians in plain and simple language that they could understand. Lewis taught and defended truths that he felt were discernible through reason. Morality, free will, and the divinity of Jesus Christ were fundamental to his core beliefs and teachings. His...
