(2022-07-28)
The Automated Phonetic Transcription - grading tool (APTgt) is a web-based interactive linguistics E-learning system developed by the Auburn HCI group for teachers and students in the Department of Communication Disorders ...
Artificial Nonlinear Stiffness and Artificial Vacuum for Wide-Bandwidth High-Q Resonance Behavior
(2023-07-27)
This dissertation explores the use of electrostatic force feedback to generate artificial
performance characteristics in a microdevice that would otherwise not be possible. As a test case,
a non-vacuumed microresonator ...
Ascaridia galli: Diagnosis, alternative treatments and influence on cytokine expression, microbiota, egg quality and digestibility
(2022-12-05)
Because of the trend of cage-free egg production, infections with the nematode Ascaridia galli are receiving increased attention. The aim of the first study was to evaluate and quantify the parasitological challenge in ...
Aspergillus niger Control on Strawberries by Recombinant Tobacco Osmotin for Extending Shelf-life
(2012-04-11)
Osmotin, a pathogenesis-related (PR) protein, possesses antimicrobial activity. The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine the stability of the recombinant tobacco osmotin (rOSM), 2) to define the antimicrobial ...
Asphalt Politics in the Deep South: Race, Housing, and the Interstate Highway System in Atlanta and Birmingham
(2012-05-21)
This thesis explores how the Interstate Highway System was partially responsible for the transition of the American South from a rural agrarian-based society into a more urban industrialized society. With this cultural ...
Assembly and Annotation of the Channel Catfish Transcriptome and Assessment of Pervasive Expression
(2015-12-10)
For a long period of time, it was widely believed that only a small fraction of the genome is transcribed, and researchers were mainly focused on studying expression of protein-coding genes. In the last a few years, pervasive ...
Assembly of 500,000 Inter-Specific Catfish Expressed Sequence Tags and Large Scale Gene-Associated Marker Development for Genome Selection Studies
(2009-08-05)
Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) sequencing is one of the most efficient means for gene discovery and gene expression profiling. With a good resource of ESTs, a large number of molecular markers can be identified, and issues ...
Assesment of Equipment Performance Variables for Improved Management during Tillage Operations
(2008-05-15)
Deep tillage operations required to alleviate compaction layers in soils found especially in the southeast region of the United States remain to be one of the largest areas of energy and fuel expense for agricultural ...
