Reproductive Transformation in the Epitokous Clam Worm, Alitta succinea (Nereididae: Annelida)
(2023-04-05)
Members of the species Alitta succinea (Phylum Annelida: Family Nereididae) are errant segmented worms with a cosmopolitan distribution around the greater Atlantic basin. Resilient mobile omnivores, these capable charismatic ...
Development and Advancement of Phage Display Techniques for the Identification of Therapeutic Peptides
(2023-05-03)
Peptides represent an emerging class for drug discovery, with the number of therapeutic peptides nearly doubling in the past twenty years. In spite of the development of many different screening techniques to identify ...
Physiological and Behavioral Costs and Consequences of Fly (Diptera) Exposure for Moose (Alces alces)
(2023-04-21)
I studied the responses of wild ungulates to harassment by flies (Diptera) by reviewing the literature on North American ungulates and studying the behavior and physiology of female moose (Alces alces) in a boreal forest ...
Memristor-Based Crossbar Applications in Machine Learning and Analog Circuit Design
(2023-04-09)
The shift to the AI/ML driven data processing resulted in a significant research demand in this field. Due to the inefficiency of the conventional computers, analog and mixed-signal data processing structures became feasible ...
Demonstration of a High-Speed Endwall Imaging Setup for Studying Ignition Phenomena in a Shock Tube
(2023-04-20)
Inhomogeneous combustion events in shock-tube experiments can be difficult to identify and can be an obstacle to data collection at certain conditions where such nonideal effects are encountered. Understanding these ...
Optimization of a Combined Cooling, Heat, and Power Plant Design for Existing Central Utility Plants
(2023-05-02)
Cost and emission savings with load-following capability are essential factors in the design optimization of Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power (CCHP) systems. This thesis presents a methodology for evaluating CCHP system ...
The Role of Plant Endogenous Peptides in Cell Death Regulation
(2023-05-02)
Cell death is a ubiquitous process in all organisms and is often associated with autoimmunity. Precise control of cell death is crucial for plant survival; however, this process remain poorly understood in plants. Cell ...
Breeding for Host Plant Resistance to FOV4 in Cotton
(2023-04-21)
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Vasinfectum race 4 (FOV4) is a vascular disease identified in multiple cotton producing areas in the United States. Host plant resistance (HPR) is currently the most effective control measure ...
Paying a Second Price: Investigating Long-Term Influences of Intimate Partner Violence on Women’s Financial Attainment
(2023-04-09)
This paper uses a life course perspective to examine the association between intimate partner victimization of women (particularly sexual victimization) after adolescence and economic attainment in adulthood. It hypothesizes ...
Dual-Modal and Dual-Sensing-Mechanism (DMDSM) Acoustic Sensors for Robotic Ranging and Material Differentiation
(2023-05-01)
One of the grand challenges in robotics is robust grasping of unknown objects. This is particularly important when robots expand its territory from industry floors to domestic service applications where the object prior ...
