  • Student & textbook presentation of divergence

    Creator:
    Smith, Emily M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores student understanding of divergence in physics settings. The various uses of divergence in physics are detailed. Textbook approaches to divergence are categorized as geometric, curvilinear coordinate, discussion-based, and algebraic statement. Textbook approaches to the divergence theorem are categorized as geometric, equivalent integrals, mathematical statement with explanation, and...

  • Students' Understanding of Complex Numbers in Middle-Division Physics

    Creator:
    Smith, Emily M.
    Abstract:
    Mathematical sophistication increases rapidly as students transition from lower- to upper-division physics courses. Complex algebra is one of the mathematical tools that is not introduced or used in lower-division physics courses but is pervasive throughout upper-division courses. In this dissertation, I study middle-division physics students' developing fluency with complex number...

  • The function of zinc in the maintenance of DNA integrity in vivo

    Creator:
    Song, Yang
    Abstract:
    Approximately 12% of Americans do not consume the amount of zinc equal to the Estimated Average Requirement for zinc and could be at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. Zinc is an essential component of proteins in the defense against oxidative stress and DNA damage repair. Specifically in the prostate, zinc...

  • Eternal Years : Religion, Psychology and Sexuality in the Art of Emily Bronte

    Creator:
    Miranda, Pamela C.
    Abstract:
    This thesis offers a textual analysis of Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights and, to a lesser extent, her poems in an effort to understand fully the complicated relationship of gender to time that characterizes her artistic imagination. The study emphasizes the interplay of religious, psychological and sexual forces inherent in...

  • Efficacy of the Wellness Focused “Be Orange Challenge” with Tracking to Promote Healthy Behavior Change

    Creator:
    Miller, Aimee S.
    Abstract:
    Purpose: Many programs are available to engage people in health-promoting behaviors or behavior change, but most target specific behavior outcomes (e.g., weight loss, smoking cessation) rather than wellness. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a tracking-based health challenge focused on overall wellness, with or without peer support. Methods:...

  • Brassicas, microbes, and metabolites : a multi-omic investigation of cruciferous vegetable phytochemical metabolism

    Creator:
    Bouranis, John A.
    Abstract:
    Phytochemicals from cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, contain a multitude of bioactive compounds that prevent and suppress cancer and promote optimal health. Some of the health promoting effects of cruciferous vegetables are attributed to a class of compounds known as isothiocyanates (ITCs), a potent nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2...

  • The Effect of Zinc Status and Age on Liver Health in Mice

    Creator:
    Braun, Kendra N.
    Abstract:
    Age-related diseases have been associated with chronic inflammation and impaired immune response, one of the hallmarks of aging. Aging individuals also have a higher susceptibility to zinc deficiency. The effects of zinc deficiency share many commonalities with the effects of aging on the immune system and zinc deficiency may be...

  • The Response to Sulforaphane in Metastatic Prostate Cancer Cells

    Creator:
    Watson, Gregory
    Abstract:
    Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables and has been under investigation as a cancer chemopreventive agent for over two decades. The compound is well tolerated and has been shown to slow cancer progression in several different pre-clinical models of carcinogenesis, such as of the lung, breast and colon....

  • Prostate cancer prevention with broccoli : from cellular to human studies

    Creator:
    Clarke, John D.
    Abstract:
    Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in American men. Epidemiologic studies suggest that cruciferous vegetable intake may lower the risk for many cancers, including prostate and colon. Isothiocyanates (ITC) are phytochemicals derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage that may...

  • Characterizing the Roles of Dietary Sulforaphane in Human Health

    Creator:
    Atwell, Lauren Lee, 1984-
    Abstract:
    The consumption of cruciferous vegetables is associated with several health benefits, including cancer prevention. Many of these benefits are attributed to the phytochemical, sulforaphane (SFN), which is derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and broccoli sprouts. These vegetables contain glucoraphanin (GFN), SFN’s precursor, which is converted to SFN by...
