Natural history and evolution of a color polymorphism in Rana pipiens, the northern leopard frog

Creator:: Hoffman, Eric A.
Abstract:: A primary goal of population genetics is to identify the role of microevolutionary forces in producing observed patterns of molecular and phenotypic variation. I conducted four studies in the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens, to determine just how mutation, migration, genetic drift, and selection influenced, genetic structure of mitochondrial DNA...

Effects of Medial and Lateral Motion of the Foot during a Forward Slip on the Loss and Recovery of Balance

Creator:: Blackwell, Allison M.
Abstract:: Falls, especially those caused by slips, are a major health concern. Past research has examined the mechanisms of preventing a fall from a forward slip; however, the effects of a mediolateral component to the slip have not been thoroughly analyzed. The purpose of this study was to examine how medial...

Fate of ammonia volatilized from a confinement livestock facility

Creator:: Hoffman, Eldon Randall
Abstract:: A conceptual model was developed to further the understanding of the evolution and fate of volatilized ammonia in the atmosphere. Recent trends in livestock rearing have been toward confinement facilities in which high animal concentrations are maintained. One of the impacts of these facilities has been increased local concentrations of...

Petroleum refinery residuals : a recycling feasibility study

Creator:: Hoffman, Andrew J.
Abstract:: Large quantities of unused heavy oil and residual waste products from the petroleum refining industry were deposited in on-site landfills, pits, and lagoons, prior to the promulgation of regulations governing their disposal and technology development that would further utilize and/or recycle these materials. Contacting petroleum products with sulfuric acid for...

Efficacy of lateral heel wedge orthotics for the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis

Creator:: Wallace, David A.
Abstract:: Lateral heel wedge orthotics are designed to reduce medial tibiofemoral joint loading and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). To date, the efficacy of long-term lateral heel wedge orthotics use among OA patients has not been determined. This study evaluated the extent to which lateral heel wedge orthotics reduced...

Numerical solution of Hodgkin-Huxley's partial differential system for nerve conduction

Creator:: Morton, John Baird
Abstract:: A numerical solution to Hodgkin and Huxley's partial differential system for the propagated action potential is presented. In addition a three dimensional demonstration of the absolute refractory period is given. Lastly, theoretical evidence supporting Rushton's hypothesis is presented.

Investigation of the biomechanics of running and rapid change-of-direction tasks

Creator:: Golden, Grace M.
Abstract:: Rapid change-of-direction tasks have been associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and females are more likely to suffer this injury compared to males. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of running and three rapid change-of-direction tasks and determine whether sex differences exist across...

Use of Organoleptic Methodologies to Evaluate Wine Oligosaccharides and Wines made from Grapevine Red Blotch Virus Positive Vines Subjected to Various Vineyard Management Practices

Creator:: Hoffman, Samuel
Abstract:: The human senses can be used as analytical tools to evaluate many different aspects of our daily lives. The use of our senses through organoleptic methods offers unique and powerful insights into the characteristics of different stimuli. Due to the unique function of the different sensory organs we use to...

David Foster Wallace's communal middle ground

Creator:: Randlemon, Daniel E.
Abstract:: Throughout the course of this thesis, I argue that the prose of David Foster Wallace, specifically his posthumously published novel The Pale King, inhabits a middle ground between universal sincerity and the particularized authenticity of postmodern irony. I examine Lionel Trilling's definitions of sincerity and authenticity before moving toward an...

The Auteur Perspective of David Fincher

Creator:: Kitamura, Garrett
Abstract:: Director David Fincher’s films contain many distinct elements that set his work apart, but one of the most instantly recognizable elements is his visual style – specifically, his camerawork. The level of control and purposefulness that Fincher exhibits in his films qualify Fincher as the auteur, or “author,” of his...
