  • Simple sequence repeat marker development and fingerprinting in Cuphea lanceolata Ait. and C. viscosissima Jacq

    Creator:
    Karmarkar, Vidyadhar M.
    Abstract:
    Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are highthroughput sequence based DNA markers that have been exploited as tools for measuring genetic distance and diversity in evolutionary studies, protection of intellectual property, genetic resource conservation management, cultivar identification and molecular breeding of crop plants. We isolated and sequenced 1095 clones from...

  • Extending market potential of blueberries with controlled atmosphere storage

    Creator:
    Boonprasom, Pichaya
    Abstract:
    The goal of this research was to determine if controlled atmosphere (CA) storage could be used to extend the market period of fresh Pacific Northwest blueberries and to evaluate the effects different storage atmospheres have on fruit quality. Furthermore, this research also investigated heat and mass transfer characteristics during cooling...

  • Single nucleotide polymorphism diversity in domesticated and wild sunflowers

    Creator:
    Freeman, Carrie
    Abstract:
    Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common DNA polymorphisms in plant and animal genomes. SNPs were identified in the allele sequences of up to 12 sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes for a genome-wide sample of 81 loci originally mapped using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers. The RFLP loci...

  • Breeding tools for Cuphea : An updated genetic linkage map and fatty acid mutant candidate gene analysis

    Creator:
    Powers, Carol Anne
    Abstract:
    Medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) are important industrial feedstocks for soaps, detergents and surfactants. Interspecific lines derived from Cuphea lanceolata and Cup hea viscosissima are being domesticated as a temperate source of MCFAs. These species also serve as model organisms for understanding the biosynthesis of MCFAs in seeds. Various markers...

  • Parallel algorithms for decomposed linear programs

    Creator:
    Wu, Youfeng and Lewis, Ted G.
    Abstract:
    New parallel algorithms for solving the decomposed linear programs are developed. Direct parallelization of the sequential algorithm results in very limited performance improvement using multiple processors. By redesigning the algorithm, we achieved more than 2*P times performance improvement over the sequential algorithm, where P is the number of processors used...

  • Systematic Review of Prevalence, Risks, and Cultural Differences of Fractures and Falls Among Hispanic Communities

    Creator:
    Chitwood, Abigail
    Abstract:
    In the United States, falls are the leading cause of fractures and accidental death in the elderly; 70% of these fractures are women. Hispanic women account for a large population in the US, however data on falls and fractures for these women is lacking. The purpose of this systematic review...

  • Using Web Services for Image Processing in a Desktop Widgets Engine

    Creator:
    Le, Hien
    Abstract:
    Desktop widget engines have emerged as an alternative for completing simple tasks without the need for a full-blown application or constant user interaction. Widgets can simply display data in a compact and visually appealing manner (such as stock tickers, weather forecasts, and news notifications), or go so far as to...

  • Optimizing spatial and temporal aspects of nature reserve design under economic and ecological objectives

    Creator:
    Nalle, Darek J.
    Abstract:
    Alteration of natural areas in attempts to support increasing human populations has been a crucial yet less publicized contributor to the fall of many of the world's greatest civilizations, since healthy ecosystems can help maintain stable societies and economies. Given this unhappy fact and the ancient relationship between people and...

  • Metal fill considerations for on-chip interconnects and spiral inductors

    Creator:
    Shilimkar, Vikas S.
    Abstract:
    Variability in circuit performance due to process defects is a major concern in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. Advanced IC manufacturing processes employ Chemical-Mechanical Polishing (CMP) for planarization of oxide and metal layers. CMP defects result in variations in the oxide and metal topographical profile. To reduce these topographical variations, electrically...

    Abstract:
    The development of amorphous metal alloys with high glass forming ability allows the fabrication of amorphous samples with thickness greater than 1mm, known as bulk metallic glasses(BMGs). Outstanding mechanical properties and ease in processing due to low melting points, low solidification shrinkage and higher supercooled liquid region make BMG a...
