  • “Red Light, Yellow Light!”: Evaluating the Anti-Listerial Potential of Bacillus Isolate Metabolites Using a High-Throughput Chromogenic Assay”

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor S.
    Abstract:
    Listeria monocytogenes contamination continues to pose challenges for the food industry and there is demand for effective methods of food preservation and protection that can also be considered clean label. A promising source of antilisterial compounds may be sourced from bacteria that produce novel byproducts. Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified...

  • Purification of cyclotron-produced 89Zr for its use in diagnostic radiopharmaceutical labeling

    Creator:
    Knaus, Clinton W.
    Abstract:
    Production of 89Zr serves as a crucial preliminary step for exploring Zr-chelates, determining their stability constants, and advancing radiolabeling methodologies for monoclonal antibody based theranostics. 89Zr is typically produced by the irradiation of natural yttrium targets, a process extensively documented in scientific literature. Two primary methods are employed: the 89Y(p,n)89Zr...

  • Factors Affecting Black-footed Ferret Populations within the Great Plains Region of North America: A Case Study

    Creator:
    Hodges, Rodney J.
    Abstract:
    The black-footed ferret is a meso-predator within the Great Plains region of North America. Before the 1900s, black-footed ferret populations were self-sustaining in large ecological patches throughout the geographical range of the Great Plains. During the 1900s, various factors such as the systematic extermination of prairie dogs (the primary food...

  • Investigating Time-Digital-Converters for Hardware Security in FPGAs

    Creator:
    Lytikov, Daniil
    Abstract:
    In this comprehensive thesis, we present a series of experiments and findings that highlight the critical importance of TDC Voltage Sensors in the hardware security domain. Our research begins by introducing a novel self-calibrating module, demonstrating its efficiency through preliminary calibration tests. We then delve into the Peak-to-Peak tests, which...

  • Terrain-Aware Probabilistic Search Planning for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

    Creator:
    Schomer, Nathan L.
    Abstract:
    Mountain search and rescue is a vital form of emergency response to assist people in austere environments (e.g., extreme terrain, poor weather). Volunteer mountain search and rescue teams in the United States have begun adopting consumer- grade unmanned aerial vehicles to assist a variety of tasks (e.g., search, resource delivery);...

  • Cannabidiol Effects on NMDA and AMPA Receptor Activity and Cognitive Function at a High Dose in 5xFAD Mice

    Creator:
    Sackinger, Emily P.
    Abstract:
    Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is an abnormal part of aging that mainly affects those over the age of 65. The current therapies are only FDA approved for mild to moderate AD symptoms. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating constituent of Cannabis sativa that has been shown to have beneficial effects on cancer,...

  • Generalized Preconditioning to Accelerate Simulations with Large Multiphase Chemical Kinetics Models

    Creator:
    Walker, Anthony S.
    Abstract:
    Combustion emissions produced from burning real transportation fuels have many environmental impacts. However, detailed chemistry across multiple phases, time scales, and thermodynamic conditions make predicting combustion emissions challenging. Detailed modeling of the gas phase alone is prohibitively expensive, due to the large size and stiffness of the kinetic models. The...

  • Automated Monitoring of Modular Construction Factories using Computer Vision

    Creator:
    Panahi, Roshan
    Abstract:
    Modular construction is increasingly seen as an efficient construction method in terms of time, cost, and energy. The full realization of these advantages partly relies on the efficiency of the production process inside the modular factories, which currently rely on tedious manual monitoring methods or expensive automated techniques. As a...

  • Corpus-Based Studies on Pregnancy

    Creator:
    Mullen, Alyson
    Abstract:
    The pregnancy and postpartum periods are full of major life transitions. So often, the focus of the literature is about the unborn baby and physical changes a woman experiences throughout this timeframe. Many sources often overlook women’s personal experiences in the perinatal period. Despite an increase in perinatal mood and...

  • Unoccupied aircraft systems in forest monitoring applications

    Creator:
    Barker, Matthew I.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS) have become increasingly affordable and straightforward to incorporate in monitoring applications of forested ecosystems. This shift has facilitated interest in using these tools to monitor aspects of forest ecosystems including vegetation health, forest structure and composition, and potential habitat provided by these systems....
