TAL Effector Adaptation and Virulence Evolution in Bacterial Blight of Cotton
(2023-05-01)
Bacterial blight of cotton (BBC) is a destructive foliar disease caused by the pathogen Xanthomonas citri pv. malvacearum (Xcm). The primary virulence strategy of Xanthomonas spp. involves the use of transcription ...
Altered Early Post-Trauma Resting-State Functional Connectivity Is Associated with PTSD Symptoms Development in Recent Trauma Survivors
(2023-04-27)
Patterns of resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) following a traumatic event may reflect underlying neurobiological processes that play a critical role in the pathogenesis and recovery from posttraumatic stress ...
Nanoparticle-Surfactant-Stabilized Nitrogen Foam Using GLDA at High Temperature
(2023-04-12)
This research aims to develop foam chelates to facilitate their distribution over target zones to improve mobility control. The use of a conventional acid cannot produce acceptable stimulation results because of major ...
A Remedial Approach to Reduce Residual Heat Left Behind By Shutdown Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage Systems: A Numerical Modeling Study
(2023-04-21)
Utilizing aquifer thermal energy storage and recovery systems (ATES) and groundwater heat pumps (GWHP) for seasonal space heating and cooling in public and commercial spaces is one solution to reduce fossil fuel consumption ...
Photodynamic Therapy: Antimicrobial Treatment and Oxidative Disease Model
(2023-04-12)
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical method to induce oxidation on demand. Oxidation has benefits to biological function in signaling pathways but can also cause damaging oxidative stress (OS), associated with ...
Velocity-Dependent Dark Matter Annihilation from Simulations, and 3D Modeling of the Interstellar Medium of the Milky Way
(2023-04-25)
This dissertation is composed of two main research topics: velocity-dependent dark matter (DM) annihilation from simulations, and 3D modeling of the interstellar medium of the Milky Way (MW). The former has been my focus ...
Too Many Candidates: The Burden of Choice in Politics
(2023-04-25)
While US general elections often feature only two candidates—one from both major parties—US primary elections are often choice rich environments. Yet, previous research has not explored how all of this choice at the ballot ...
Exploring the Temporal Dynamics of Salmonella enterica and Bacteriophage Applications in the Feedlot Environment for Mitigating Salmonella enterica in Beef Cattle
(2023-04-19)
Human salmonellosis is a common foodborne illness that can result from contaminated food, including beef products. Bovine lymph nodes, which may harbor Salmonella, are difficult to separate from adipose tissues that are ...
Evaluating Post-Earthquake Functional Recovery of Critical Buildings Accounting for Lifelines’ Restoration
(2023-04-21)
Assessing how to regain the pre-earthquake functionality of a building or lifeline system in an adequate time, known as functional recovery, has become the center of interest for achieving community resilience goals. Despite ...
Thermal Tolerance Exceedances of an Endangered Unionid in the Rio Grande Basin with Implications for River Management
(2023-04-10)
Freshwater mussels are globally imperiled due to the human alteration of riverine systems. In semi-arid locations, they are jeopardized by declining streamflow and elevated temperatures. I measured the lethal thermal ...
