  • Perceived Barriers to Accessing Mental Healthcare to Student Veterans

    Creator:
    Haney, Rachel M.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this research was to analyze what different types of perceived barriers affect student veterans' access to mental healthcare services. Previous research has shown that veterans who return from combat and later attend universities are not receiving adequate mental healthcare for mental health problems, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder...

  • Stress and Learning in Larval Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

    Creator:
    Moussaoui, Bushra
    Abstract:
    In this study, we characterize the behavioral response of larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) to the noxious chemical allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), an agonist of the nociceptive TRPA1 ion channel, and utilize AITC as an aversive stimulus in an associative learning paradigm. We find that larvae exposed to AITC in both a...

  • The Response and Effect of Emergent Coastal Vegetation to Sedimentation and the Distribution of Coastal Vegetation Communities along Environmental Gradients

    Creator:
    Lemein, Todd
    Abstract:
    Coastal marsh vegetation is an important component in maintaining marsh stability that is threatened by changes in sedimentation, sea level rise, natural and anthropogenic disturbances, and competition from invasive species. Vegetation has been demonstrated to reduce wave energy, increase sedimentation, and decrease erosion in tidal environments under a range of...

  • Host cell nuclear involvement in vaccinia virus replication

    Creator:
    Villarreal, Elcira C.
    Abstract:
    It was previously shown that vaccinia virus is unable to complete its replicative cycle in cells that have been subjected to cytochalasin-B mediated enucleation prior to infection. Likewise, in the presence of the drug α-amanitin, a potent inhibitor of host RNA polymerase II but not of viral transcription, the replication...

  • An intrinsic codimension two cellular decomposition of the Hilbert cube

    Creator:
    Ghimire, Kailash C.
    Abstract:
    Cellular sets in the Hilbert cube are the intersection of nested sequences of normal cubes. One way of getting cellular maps on the Hilbert cube is by decomposing the Hilbert cube into cellular sets and using a quotient map. By using a cellular decomposition of the Hilbert cube, an example...

  • Ecophenology and Control of European Frogbit in a Hybrid Cattail Marsh of the St. Marys River, Michigan

    Creator:
    Wellons, Kathryn C.
    Abstract:
    Great Lakes coastal wetland communities are threatened by the impacts of invasive plants on ecosystem function and biodiversity. What allows invasive plants to become dominant in invaded communities can be hard to define and context-dependent. Traits associated with invasion success in wetland systems – rapid vegetative growth, competitive superiority in...

  • Aquatic Plant Community Changes in Freshwater Ponds Recently Invaded by Elodea canadensis on the Western Copper River Delta, Alaska

    Creator:
    Elizabeth, Camarata A.
    Abstract:
    Establishment of a non-native plant species in new habitats beyond their native range is associated with inherent changes in ecosystem properties. These changes may be dramatic or subdued, and consequences may be positive or negative depending on characteristics and response of the resident ecosystem. Non-native aquatic plant species in the...

  • Characterization of vaccinia virus A12L protein : its proteolysis and functional analyses in virus replication

    Creator:
    Yang, Su Jung
    Abstract:
    In order to produce infectious virus progeny, vaccinia virus (VV) undergoes morphogenic proteolysis to regulate the structural rearrangements of virus particles. Several of the major structural precursor proteins of VV are cleaved at a conserved Ala-Gly-X (where X is any amino acid) motif by the VV I7L core protein proteinase...

  • Investigations into the Mechanism of Action of Dengue Virus Inhibitor Compounds

    Creator:
    Schneider, Christine A.
    Abstract:
    Several compounds have been recently identified which are effective against dengue virus, a tropical arbovirus highly prevalent in southeast Asia and central America. Initial intrinsic fluorescence characterization of the mechanism of action of compound B reveals binding affinity to the dengue capsid protein. A molecular beacon unwinding assay and malachite...

  • The rpsL gene and streptomycin resistance in Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus pyogenes

    Creator:
    Vidyasanker, Radhika
    Abstract:
    Streptomycin resistance in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is usually caused by a single mutation in the rpsL gene. The rpsL gene encodes the S12 protein of the ribosomal complex. The rpsL genes of various bacteria have consensus regions in their sequences. Primers were designed from these consensus pockets and...
