(2017-11-28)
Target spot is a foliar disease of cotton caused by Corynespora cassiicola. This disease was first reported in Alabama in 2011. The overall goal of this study was to address the epidemiology of the target spot of cotton ...
Epidemiology of the virulence and antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli from canine and feline clinical isolates.
(2014-12-17)
Escherichia coli resistance impacts the veterinary professional because of therapeutic failure and the public health significance. The lack of national monitoring programs in small animal practices limits evidence-based ...
Epigenomic and transcriptomic alterations of channel catfish exposed to DNA methyltransferase inhibitor and estradiol
(2021-07-23)
Teleost fish exhibit a great level of diversity of sex determination. With channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), a lower teleost, sex determination genes have not been identified. However, the sex determination region ...
Equilibrium Calculation with Toroidal Flow in NIMEQ
(2018-07-19)
The focus of this work is to demonstrate the importance of incorporating toroidal rotation in calculating tokamak-like equilibria with axisymmetry. Specifically, this work will focus on showing the impact toroidal flow had ...
Equilibrium Concentrations of Major Cations and Total Alkalinity in Laboratory Soil-Water Systems
(2010-11-05)
Three kinds of soils and four kinds of water were used to prepare laboratory soil-water mesocosms. Soil-water mesocosms were prepared containing 5-cm deep layers of soil and 21 L of water from each of the four sources. ...
Equilibrium Modeling of Coal and Biomass Gasification
(2015-07-29)
This thesis endeavors to add to the field of equilibrium modeling of coal and biomass gasification by utilizing widely available commercial process modeling software (Aspen Plus®) to evaluate the impacts of various system ...
Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics Study of Phonon Transport Properties at High Temperatures
(2023-12-06)
Thermal conductivity is a material property of great importance in many areas of physics including coat barriers, renewable energy, nano-electronic devices, and geological processes inside the Earth. At the microscopic ...
Equine Endometrial Development: Setting the Stage for Reproductive Success
(2016-05-04)
Uterine development in the foal is initiated prenatally; endometrial adenogenesis, or gland development, is initiated in the fetus and completed postnatally. To date, there is little data describing this process in the ...
Equine Endothelial Colony Forming Cells: In Vitro and In Vivo Analysis
(2019-07-24)
Endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) are a subset of the endothelial progenitor cell (EPC). EPCs are found in bone marrow and in peripheral blood samples, and their subset the ECFC can be isolated from these samples ...
Equine Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells: Phenotypic Enhancement and Ex vivo Angiogenesis Studies
(2023-07-27)
Ischemic diseases in horses are common and often life-threatening, thus cell-based therapies to improve angiogenesis are gaining interest. Endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) can form de novo blood vessels in areas ...
