Creator:: Chindanon, Kritsa
Abstract:: Engineering capstone projects are intended as a bridge from school to professional practice in which students work in teams to use learned knowledge and skills to complete real-world engineering projects. However, while the majority of time in many undergraduate programs is devoted to development of technical knowledge and skills, there...

Creator:: Luker, George W.
Abstract:: There exists a growing need to establish a better in vitro model for evaluating PAH toxicity and carcinogenicity and to improve assessments of risk to human health, especially to the complex mixtures that exist in the environment. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants due to the incomplete combustion...

Creator:: Halama, Jonathan James
Abstract:: Several solar energy models exist, but all models must balance: computational runtime, light complexity, and model output volume. These models span the spectrum of simplistic global solar energy equation sets to complex light ray-tracing models. Spatiotemporally inaccurate representations of solar energy may cause compounding simulation effects and introduce unknown modeling...

Creator:: Trindade da Rosa, Fernanda
Abstract:: Mastitis is a major endemic disease in dairy cows resulting in significant economic losses for the dairy industry. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor that is able to bind and be activated by natural (e.g., fatty acids) and synthetic (e.g. thiazolidinedione) compounds. PPARγ plays important roles...

Creator:: Heckert, Stephanie
Abstract:: Viability and dispersal of ascospores of Anisogramma anomala, the cause of eastern filbert blight (EFB) on European hazelnut, from diseased branches pruned from trees were measured. In each of two years, branches bearing stromata of A. anomala were cut in mid-December and compared to branches cut near budbreak in March,...

Creator:: Tʻung, Chao-hsiung
Abstract:: A full range of experiments was carried out to investigate the effects of environmental factors on the terminal bud dormancy in two high-elevation true fir species, Shasta red fir (Abies magnifica A. Murr. var. shastensis Lemm.) and noble fir (A. procera Rehd.), seedlings. Photoperiod, thermoperiod and moisture stress were of...

Creator:: Dixon, Holly M.
Abstract:: Silicone wristbands are easy-to-wear passive samplers that have been readily adapted into environmental health studies since first reported in 2014. Wristbands can be worn during normal daily activities and sequester a wide range of bioavailable organic chemicals. This dissertation includes a thorough review of silicone wristband technology, as well as...

Creator:: Walters, Sarah P.
Abstract:: Aquatic fecal contamination from non-point sources impairs environmental health and serves as a vehicle for transmission of waterborne disease, resulting in economic losses worldwide. Accurate methods of diagnosing fecal pollution and its source are needed to prevent human exposure, remediate pollution, and reduce economic impacts. In order to obtain this...
