The effects of enhanced expression of the GluN2B (NR2B) subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor on memory in aged animals

Creator:

Brim, Brenna L.

Abstract:

As the aging population continues to grow worldwide, age-related complications are becoming more apparent within the aging population. One of the first age-related complications to become apparent is age-associated memory impairment and it can make the elderly more dependent on caregivers early on. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is important to...

Mock modularity of the M-d-rank of overpartitions

Creator:

Jennings-Shaffer, Chris and Swisher, Holly

Abstract:

We investigate the modular properties of a new partition rank, the M-d-rank of overpartitions. In fact this is an infinite family of ranks, indexed by the positive integer d, that gives both the Dyson rank of overpartitions and the overpartition M-2-rank as special cases. The M-d-rank of overpartitions is the...

Increasing Vitamin D Levels to Improve Fertilization Rates in Cattle

Creator:

Peixoto de Souza, Vanessa

Abstract:

Recently, an interest in supplementation of vitamin D to improve aspects of health, especially in human fertility, has emerged. However, supplementation of Vitamin D above the minimum required levels to prevent deficiency has yet to be explored in cattle despite evidence for vitamin D receptors in reproductive tissues. The objective...

High-resolution infrared studies of perdeutero-spiropentane, C₅D₈

Creator:

Erickson, Blake Alexander, Ju, X., Nibler, Joesph W., Beaudry, C. M., and Blake, T. A.

Abstract:

Perdeutero-spiropentane (C₅D₈) has been synthesized and infrared and Raman spectra are reported for the first time. Wavenumber assignments are made for most of the fundamental vibrational modes. Gas phase infrared spectra were recorded at a resolution (0.002 cm⁻¹) sufficient to resolve individual rovibrational lines and show evidence of strong Coriolis...

A 10 bit algorithmic A/D converter for a biosensor

Creator:

Rengachari, Thirumalai

Abstract:

This thesis presents a novel algorithmic A/D converter to be used in a biosensor. The converter is capable of a conversion rate of 1.5 bits/phase and hence the required conversion time is reduced. The proposed architecture is analyzed for non-ideal effects and compared with existing algorithmic A/D architectures. The converter...

Abstract:

Recent interest in oxy-fuel combustion for carbon capture, as well as advancements in technologies such as magnetics, materials, and computational modeling has sparked renewed interest in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation. The increased temperatures of oxy-fuel combustion versus air-fuel combustion poses a challenge in the selection of materials for plasma exposed...

Abstract:

Cutaneous melanoma remains the deadliest form of skin cancer arising from malignant transformation of pigment-producing melanocytes, with a diagnosis of metastasis indicating a median survival rate of less than a year. Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, especially childhood sun exposure, is an important etiological risk factor of melanoma. This DNA damage...

Abstract:

Background: Mapping and map-based cloning of genes that control agriculturally and economically important traits remain great challenges for plants with complex highly repetitive genomes such as those within the grass tribe, Triticeae. Mapping limitations in the Triticeae are primarily due to low frequencies of polymorphic gene markers and poor genetic...

Genetic variation of Renibacterium salmoninarum genes in infected salmonids

Creator:

Burnett, Jeffrey R.

Abstract:

Renibacterium salmoninarum is the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease in both wild and farmed salmonid species worldwide. The genome of this pathogen has significant synteny to the ubiquitous, soil-dwelling Arthrobacter spp. though it is 1.9 Mb smaller, suggesting that reductive evolution has occurred. Recently, our group finished sequencing and...

Development of a High Throughput Method for Screening of Clean-Label Mold Inhibitors in Cheddar Cheese

Creator:

Kornberg, Kaitlyn R.

Abstract:

Mold growth on cheddar-style cheese, though not a food safety issue, causes significant loss to the industry due to consumer rejection. For this reason, it is common for at-risk products, such as cheese shreds, to be coated with the mold inhibitor natamycin. While highly effective at extending shelf-life, preferences for...

Measuring the Electric Field Dependence of Photocurrent Quantum Yield in Suspended Carbon Nanotube pn Junctions

Creator:

McCulley, Daniel R.

Abstract:

In nanoscale materials, the Coulombic interaction between electrons are stronger than in bulk materials. These stronger interactions, caused by confinement and reduced dielectric screening, have interesting consequences for light-matter interactions. In carbon nanotubes (CNTs), strong interactions can enhance the impact ionization process, and thus assist photocurrent generation in CNTs. Conversely,...

Abstract:

The phantom midges (Diptera: Chaoboridae) are a relatively small fly family composed of 50 extant species in six genera. Larvae are of interest to limnologists and ecologists because of their tolerance to toxicants, predatory avoidance strategies, and the role chaoborids play in zooplankton community dynamics. Relative to mosquitoes, systematists have...
