Biochar as a cover for dairy manure lagoons: reducing odor and gas emissions while capturing nutrients

Creator:: Dougherty, Brian
Abstract:: Liquid manure lagoons are known to be sources of odor and environmentally damaging gas emissions. Land application of the manure slurry after storage can lead to detrimental nutrient runoff and leaching. Floating lagoon covers (biocovers) are one option for reducing emissions, but to date they have only been used to...

Effects of Selenium Supplementation During Different Trimesters of Pregnancy on Total and Vibrio coralliilyticus Specific IgM Antibody Concentrations in Beef Cows at Parturition

Creator:: Zurita Cruz, Cindy
Abstract:: Background: The immune response to microbial infections is compromised in beef cattle at parturition. Innate and adaptive immunoglobulin M (IgM) serve as initial antibodies during microbial infection before the generation of adaptive immunoglobulin G (IgG). Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient required by all mammals, which can improve immune responses...

Simulating the Dynein Motor Protein: A Monte Carlo Approach to Achieve Coordinated Stepping

Creator:: Kiatvongcharoen, Jin
Abstract:: The motor protein dynein is responsible for cellular processes such as axonal transport and cell division by delivering vital information along the microtubule track. A failed delivery can cause severe damage to the cell’s functionality and lead to neurological diseases. Despite dynein’s rich history in cellular research, the mechanism of...

“SHOO FLY”: Reduce Pesticide Dependence with Knowledgeabout Drosophila suzukii

Creator:: Marek, Charlene Marie
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii was a known pest of berries, grapes, and stone fruits in East Asia for almost a century. Yet in recent years it has successfully migrated throughout the United States, Mexico, and Europe due to globalized fruit trade. The invasive success of D. suzukii is causing unrest for fruit...

Organic Semiconductors : Incorporating Xylindein into (Opto)Electronic Devices

Creator:: Rath, Jeremy J.
Abstract:: This research investigates the electronic properties of a fungi-derived pigment, xylindein as a novel sustainable material for organic electronics. Xylindein molecules were characterized in solution and in film. Absorption spectra and (photo)luminescence spectra were taken at various excitation wavelengths. Xylindein’s molecular properties were computed with the Gaussian 09 software suite....

Relative heat sensitivities and the potential for soil solarization to remediate nursery beds infested with Phytophthora spp.

Creator:: Weidman, Clara Suzanne
Abstract:: Infestations of container nursery beds by Phytophthora spp. can be persistent and costly. One method of disinfestation that does not require the use of chemicals is soil solarization, which captures energy from the sun to heat soil and thermally inactivate target pathogens. In laboratory temperature gradient experiments, I investigated the...

Fungal Photonics

Creator:: Spafford, Jasper
Abstract:: The spalting fungus Scytalidium cuboideum secretes a red pigment that produces naphthoquinonic crystals that are a photonic material candidate. The molecule can pack together in different configurations resulting in amazingly different optical properties. I developed a procedure (slowly evaporating the solvent) to preferentially grow two of these configurations, which have...

How sweet is the land? Modeling caloric landscapes for tropical hummingbirds

Creator:: Birkett, Christina Nozomi and Birkett, Nozomi Fukui
Abstract:: Pollination is a critical ecosystem function for sustaining biodiversity. However, pollinators and the services they provide are threatened by landscape-altering anthropogenic activities across the globe. Habitat loss and fragmentation, introduction of invasive species, chemical use, and urbanization have been shown to impact pollination. Pollinator foraging behavior is thought to be...

A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

Creator:: Esposito, Madison L.
Abstract:: Modifications of histone tail amino acid residues are necessary for many reactions involving chromatin. These processes can produce transcriptionally active, euchromatic, or inactive, heterochromatic, segments of DNA. The formation and maintenance of facultative heterochromatin is critical for the proper growth and development of many eukaryotes. Euchromatin can be changed into...
