Mid-Infrared Multi-Spectrum Sensing and Imaging for Non-Destructive Material Characterization
(2022-03-02)
Mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy has become a powerful technique for chemical analysis. The fingerprint absorption bands in mid-IR can be used to uniquely identify a molecular specie. Such fingerprinting capability along ...
Genetic Basis for the Development of Scurs in Bos Indicus-Influenced Crossbred Cattle
(2022-04-21)
Scurs are corneous growths that develop at the same location on the skull as horns. Typically, scurs do not fuse with the frontal skull and they range from buttons to horn-like structures. Scurs are epistatic to horns and ...
Tributary Streams Provide Migratory Fish with Access to Floodplain Habitats in a Regulated River: Evidence from Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula)
(2022-03-24)
Fishes that migrate within freshwater and exhibit periodic life history traits are broadly distributed and particularly sensitive to the effects of river regulation. However, persistence of migratory fishes in highly ...
Developing Spatial Abilities thru Computer-Aided Design Software Experiences: Enhancing STEM Education
(2022-04-20)
The research I conducted during this dissertation focuses on improving students’ spatial abilities as measured by mental rotation through the implementation of computer-aided design (CAD) projects in an elementary classroom. ...
Addressing Inequities in Service Disruptions with Human-Centric Infrastructure Resilience: An Empirical Assessment of Household-Infrastructure Interactions During Disasters
(2022-04-22)
Natural disasters place tremendous stress on critical infrastructure systems by testing their service reliability under extreme condition. Prolonged service disruptions can pose serious threats to the physical, emotional, ...
Additive Effects of Poly- β -hydroxybutyrate on Growth and Immune Responses of Juvenile Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, Hybrid Striped Bass Morone chrysops × M. saxatilis, and Red Drum Sciaenops ocellatus Based on In Vivo and In Vitro Approaches
(2022-04-19)
Disease outbreaks in intensive aquaculture, particularly from bacterial pathogens, represent major constraints to efficient fish production, necessitating development of novel and innovative disease treatment and prevention ...
Applications Of Causal Bayesian Networks On Urban Planning
(2022-04-11)
This research seeks to improve the current state of knowledge about risks related to natural hazards, particularly those hazards affecting coastal communities. The inquiry focuses on a broad question: how can I help ...
Principal Component Analysis of Two-Dimensional Functional Data with Serial Correlation
(2022-04-06)
Functional principal component analysis is a popular technique used for analyzing the intrinsically infinite-dimensional functions. The functional principal components help explore the variation patterns of functions and ...
Bioreactor-Mediated Gelatin Methacryloyl Microcarrier Expansion and Human Platelet Lysate Supplementation: A Scalable Mesenchymal Stem Cell Expansion Platform
(2022-05-05)
Bioreactor-mediated expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) is a promising technique for the generation of hMSCs and their secreted products for immunoregulation therapies at scales required for use in the clinic. ...
Evaluation of Corn Expressed Glucanase and High and Low Specific Activity Corn Expressed Phytase at Different Inclusion Rates on Growth Performance of Broilers Fed Corn-Soybean Meal Based Diets
(2022-04-18)
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of a corn expressed phytase and glucanase enzyme on performance, bone ash response, apparent metabolizable energy and apparent ileal digestibility at varying ...
