There have been several epidemiological studies linking alcohol
consumption to a decreased risk of contracting illness from foodborne
bacterial contamination. To study this phenomenon, we examined the
survival of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 and Salmonella typhimurium in grape
juice and wine and then designed a model stomach to investigate the effect...
The purpose of this thesis is to engage in a linguistic-conceptual inquiry into what it
proposes might for analytical purposes be conceived—and which it hence stipulatively
defines—as Applied Value Words. After constructing the conceptual framework through
which to identify, and within which to characterize Applied Value Words, this thesis then...
The Lena River in central Siberia is one of the
major pathways translocating terrestrial organic matter (OM)
from its vast catchment area to the coastal zone of the Laptev
Sea and the Arctic Ocean. The permafrost soils of its far
south-stretching catchment, which store huge amounts of
OM, will most...

The first published notion that the j-function was in any way related to the Monster came in 1979, when Conway and Norton noted in [CN79] that each coefficient in the q- expansion of the j-function could be written as a (nontrivial) integral linear combination of the dimensions of irreducible representations...
Since 1980, the prevalence of obesity among U.S. adults has more than doubled, accompanied by increases in chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. This high prevalence and associated disease burden continues to be a threat to public health. Despite years of efforts to stem the tide of obesity, successful...
The purpose of this project is to study the benefit at large parking lots having shuttle busses by providing a system that dynamically routes a shuttle. The shuttle route will be set by the placement of the travelers returning from the terminal. A parking space is assigned to the incoming...
My thesis is comprised of two articles, titled "Journeying Through (An)Other World: Examining the Role of Magic and Transformational Otherness in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and "Magic, Muggles, and Mudbloods: Examining Magical Otherness in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter Series." The introduction frames the thematic, theoretical, and critical connections...
At the urging of international scientists, large industrialized nations like the United States must transition away from fossil fuel energy and toward renewable energy by 2030 in order to stay the tide of climate change. To complete this energy transition citizens must take up responsibilities to change the known paradigms...
