The particle on a ring in polymer quantum mechanics : a quantum cosmology analogue on a compact space

Creator:: Siebersma, Maxwell R.
Abstract:: Loop quantum gravity is a framework for quantizing general relativity which imposes a discrete structure on space. In exploring the structure of loop quantum gravity, researchers have investigated loop quantum cosmology, a toy model with reduced degrees of freedom while maintaining a discrete space. Polymer quantum mechanics is a framework...

Biotransformation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by ruminal organisms

Creator:: De Lorme, Marthah J. M.
Abstract:: 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been the common munitions used in the world and is an environmental contaminant that is amendable to reductive transformation reactions. The rumen is an extremely reductive environment containing diverse microbial populations. There are 21 pure culture ruminal bacteria species in culture collection, these were tested for the...

Metabolism of ergot alkaloids by sheep

Creator:: De Lorme, Marthah J. M.
Abstract:: The digestion responses and degradation of ergovaline and production of lysergic acid in the rumen of sheep offered Neotyphodium coenophialum-infected tall fescue straw at two ergovaline levels was investigated. Six crossbred wethers (56 +1- 3 kg BW) were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups in a cross-over design....

Investigating polymer quantum mechanics : mathematical formulation, the particle on a ring, and time evolution

Creator:: Seibert, Basie S.
Abstract:: Loop quantum gravity is a theoretical framework which aims to quantize general relativity. One of the unique aspects of this theory is that it imposes a discrete structure on space-time. One toy model of loop quantum gravity is loop quantum cosmology, which maintains the idea of a discrete spatial structure...

A Generalized Scheme for Creating Regge Calculus Models of General Relativity

Creator:: Hanson, Ben R.
Abstract:: Solutions to Einstein's equations are usually found by considering ideal, simplified models. However, if the real world always matched ideal physics models, then farmers would milk black and white spheres. To combat this, Regge calculus was developed as a numerical approximation scheme for general relativity. In Regge calculus curved manifolds...

Urinary excretion of the mycotoxins lolitrem B and lysergic acid in cattle consuming perennial ryegrass straw over 56 days

Creator:: Neumann, Persia, Duringer, Jennifer M., and Craig, A. Morrie
Abstract:: Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) hay is an important source of forage for a variety of livestock species, and is most common in cool, coastal climates such as the Pacific Northwest. An endophyte fungus called Neotyphodium lolii frequently colonizes this grass to promote insect resistance, drought tolerance, and growth enhancement without...

Expression of serotonin, chromogranin-A, serotonin receptor-2B, tryptophan hydroxylase-1, and serotonin reuptake transporter in the small intestine of dogs with inflammatory bowel disease

Creator:: Bailey, Candice
Abstract:: The neuroendocrine system of the gut plays a significant role in regulating intestinal motor and sensory functions, as well as modulating inflammation in the intestine. The intestinal mucosa is the dominant site of serotonin (5HT) synthesis in mammals, with more than 95% of the intestinal 5HT being present in the...

Exposure to the Mycotoxin Zearalenone Impairs Embryonic Development in Zebrafish

Creator:: Sidebotham, Nicole A.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to evaluate the developmental toxicity of three commonly detected mycotoxins in food (deoxynivalenol, patulin, and zearalenone) using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model. Mycotoxin exposures were carried out at five concentrations (0.0064, 0.064, 0.64, 6.4, and 64 μM). Morphological and photomotor screenings were conducted at 24 hours...

Anaerobic biodegradation of the cyclic nitramines, RDX and HMX, by ovine ruminal microbes

Creator:: Eaton, Hillary L.
Abstract:: Cyclic nitramines released into all environmental compartments through anthropogenic activities are toxic and possibly carcinogenic and mutagenic. Soils on military ranges, located throughout the world in various climatic regions and close to human activities, are especially susceptible to cyclic nitramine contamination. The properties of soils on military ranges will directly...

Calculating characteristic timescales for environmental decoherence in the presence of thermal gravitons

Creator:: Nelson, Hunter
Abstract:: Different models show the effects of environmental decoherence on a quantum system due to various environments of interest. One important quantity within these models is the decoherence time, which tells us how quickly environments wash away the coherence of local measurements. We can describe this effect as the quantum system...
