Biology, Ecology, and Management of Key Pests of Satsuma Citrus in Alabama
(2009-10-15)
Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marcovitch) production is an emerging industry in Alabama. Recent surveys identified Leptoglossus zonatus (leaffooted bug), Phyllocnistis citrella (citrus leafminer), and Panonychus citri ...
Biomass Gasification for Power and Fuel Applications using a Bench-Scale Bubbling Fluidized Bed Gasifier
(2015-05-18)
Today fossil fuels are a major source of energy. Coal is used extensively around the world for power applications, while petroleum products are used to fulfill liquid fuel needs. This extensive use of fossil fuels has led ...
Biomechanical Implications of Performance Garments During the Overhead Throw Among Female Athletes
(2019-07-18)
The overhead throw is a dynamic motion that requires sequential movements of segments throughout the kinetic chain to efficiently deliver a ball to a specified target. Alterations throughout the kinetic chain often result ...
Biomechanical Responses to Synthetic and Natural Turf during Locomotion
(2019-07-23)
The ability of athletes to adapt their movement patterns appropriately to varying constraints imposed by the playing environment is crucial for performance as well as musculoskeletal health. For outdoor athletes, playing ...
Biomechanical Testing of Double Hemitenotomy for Equine Deep Digital Flexor Tendon Lengthening
(2021-07-14)
Deep digital flexor (DDF) tenotomy is performed in horses with laminitis to diminish the
force of the DDF on the third phalanx (P3) which causes P3 rotation due to loss of laminar
integrity counteracting the DDF pull. ...
Biomechanics of the Lower Extremity Dynamic Balance Tests: Kinematics and Electromyography Analysis of the Y-Balance Test and the Star Excursion Balance Test
(2016-08-03)
Lower extremity dynamic balance is maintained through a sequence of segmental motions within a kinetic chain. Reaching dynamic balance tests measure the distance in which one can extend his/her center of gravity over the ...
Biomedical Materials Based on Electrospun Polymeric Fibers
(2010-07-29)
As one of the most promising development of nanotechnology, electrospinning has gathered a great deal of interests in recent years. In this study, several novel nanomaterials were prepared by electrospinning and further ...
Biomimetic Antenna Design for an Atmospheric Probe
(2019-06-18)
This dissertation discusses the design and implementation of a biomimetic, flexible antenna system for an airborne atmospheric probe. The antenna is designed for an airborne sensor system known as the GlobalSense eMote. ...
Biomimicking of Enzymes for Textile Processing
(2006-12-15)
Enzymes are very large protein compounds. A small portion of their structure constitutes their highly specific active site which is fundamentally responsible for the catalytic capability of the enzymes. To mimic the active ...
Biophysical characterization of ligand binding and release of Anthereae polyphemus Pheromone Binding Protein 1 (ApolPBP1) and Exploring the nickel proteome
(2013-08-07)
In moths, pheromone binding proteins (PBPs) transport the hydrophobic pheromone molecules to the membrane-bound receptors across the aqueous sensillar lymph to trigger the neuronal response. We showed here that, recombinant ...
Biopolymers for enhancing the engineering properties of soil
(2020-05-12)
The need for constant construction rapidly expands the built environment which often spreads over areas with unfavorable site conditions. In such events, soil stabilization is an inevitable process. Increasing soil strength ...
Biopsychosocial Mechanisms of Disease Progression in Black Women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
(2022-04-20)
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune condition that involves multiple organ systems and fluctuating disease activity which can lead to potentially debilitating symptoms, various morbidities, and ...
Bioremediation of an Arsenic-Contaminated Site, Using Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria, Bay County, Florida
(2016-08-05)
In this study an in-situ bioremediation field demonstration project using sulfate-reducing bacteria was conducted at an As-contaminated site, in Bay County, Florida. The background levels of As ranged from 0.13 to 0.34 ...
Bioremediation of Arsenic Contaminated Groundwater in Northwest Florida: Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Microbiology Changes
(2017-04-21)
This research demonstrates that the stimulation of natural sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in groundwater can precipitate biogenic pyrite nanoparticles that play an active role in sequestering dissolved arsenic from ...
Bioremediation of Pentachlorophenol and Bleach Plant Effluent by Trametes versicolor and its Extracellular Fluid, Focused on Intermediates and Products Formed and the Role of Protein Binding of Chlorinated Compounds in a Two-stage Reactor System
(2005-08-15)
Bioremediation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) from aqueous solutions can provide valuable methods to remove other toxins from aqueous solutions, those that are more or less persistent or toxic than PCP. Understanding the ...
Biotic and abiotic factors affecting the distribution of Paddlefish Polyodon Spathula in William “Bill” Dannelly Reservoir and the Cahaba River, Alabama.
(2023-12-06)
Paddlefish Polyodon spathula river section use, and summer backwater use (where zooplankton is thought to be abundant) vary seasonally. I quantified Paddlefish habitat use in Dannelly Reservoir, Alabama, which includes the ...
