Investigating Salinity Tolerance in Rice Through Mapping QTLs for Reproductive-Stage Tolerance and Guide RNA Validation for Gene Editing of the HKT Family
(2020-11-25)
Salinity is the most extensive problem in coastal rice eco-systems and tolerance at reproductive stage of rice is crucial for higher grain yield. In this study, two salt-tolerant varieties, CSR28 and Hasawi, and a ...
Production of Microalgae-based Protein Products from Economics and Bioprocessing Perspectives
(2020-12-02)
The need for developing alternative protein sources to meet future food demand has driven microalgae to re-emerge as a promising biomass source. Considering its ability to produce quality protein, microalgae has been studied ...
Humor in the Service of Social Criticism in Iconic Examples from Four Filmic Traditions (United States, Spain, Mexico, and India)
(2019-04-03)
This dissertation is a critical comparative study of four distinguished cinematographic traditions, namely the USA, Spain, Mexico, and India, where their respective societies, politics, histories, and cultures form the ...
Characterizing Ice Cloud Particle Shape and Surface Roughness from Polarimetric Satellite Observations
(2018-06-08)
The single scattering properties of ice cloud particles are inferred from spaceborne multi-angle satellite sensors with two newly developed noise-resilient retrieval techniques. The first presented method parameterizes the ...
Effects of Maternal Nutrition Manipulation on Mares and Their Foals
(2013-03-14)
Previous research documented the fetus is sensitive to nutrition of the dam, but this has not been thoroughly investigated in horses. Objectives of the current studies were to determine effect of manipulation of maternal ...
Rousseau against Republicanisms: Political Community and Human Order at the Edge of a Tradition
(2017-04-27)
Over the past few decades, scholarship in political theory as well as in intellectual history has shown a growing interest in civic republicanism, a theory of politics with ancient lineages, which might offer new ways to ...
Kinetic Modeling of the Hydrocracking of Fused-Ring Di-Aromatic Species
(2015-01-16)
The derivation of kinetic models for the development and simulation of hydrocarbon processes require detailed information on the reaction network. In the present work, experiments on the hydrocracking of fused-ring species, ...
The Distribution of the Triplet Reflector in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico as Observed on High-Resolution Subbottom Profiles
(2018-04-13)
A regionally persistent sequence of closely spaced, parallel reflectors known as the Triplet was studied using high-resolution profile data and sediment core data collected throughout the slope of the Gulf of Mexico. When ...
Mechanics and Design of Prestressed Girder Bridges using Ultra High-Performance Concrete
(2020-07-30)
The aim of this study is to propose stress-strain models which predict the material behavior in compression and tension, analyze the moment-curvature behavior of UHPC structural sections and to demonstrate the design of ...
