(2016-12-08)
Bacteriophage (phage) treatment for the reduction of multiple drug resistant Salmonella Newport in dairy calves is being examined in our lab from a clinical disease and food safety perspective. An unintended consequence ...
Study of a Novel Host-Parasite Relationship: Mycoplasma gallisepticum in House Finches (Carpodacus Mexicanus)
(2006-08-15)
Although host-parasite interactions are well recognized as dynamic interactions leading to the occurrence of emerging infectious disease, we know little about how host-
parasite systems evolve. To better understand how ...
A Study of Adversarial Attacks on Machine Learning-based Fake News Detection Systems
(2023-05-04)
Due to the increased use and reliance on social media, fake news has become a significant problem that can cause great harm to individuals. Because of the dangerousness of fake news, techniques must be developed to detect ...
Study of aerodynamic interactions in counter-rotating coaxial rotors
(2023-12-06)
Counter-rotating coaxial rotors (CCR) are ubiquitous in emerging next-generation configurations, demonstrating enhanced performance metrics such as increased forward-flight speed, flight range, and payload capabilities ...
The study of applied management options to enhance crop protection against Verticillium wilt in Gossypium hirsutum.
(2015-07-24)
Verticillium wilt of cotton is incited by Verticillium dahliae, which colonizes the vascular cylinder of the plant and resulting in defoliation, stunting, and yield loss. The long-term goal of this project was to look ...
Study of Bacterial Flora in Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Treated with High Pressure
(2008-05-15)
Analysis of bacterial communities present in high-pressure treated, quick-frozen, and raw oysters was carried out independently during three different seasons: winter; summer; and fall of 2006. Oysters used in all experiments ...
A study of campus fraternity and sorority advisors regarding alcohol education strategies used on college campuses
(2012-10-29)
“There is no greater public health hazard on American college and university campuses
than the abuse of alcohol” (Misch, 2010, p. 232). The purpose of this study was to examine
alcohol education strategies presently used ...
Study of chemically reactive surfaces of TiO2 and Ag/TiO2 for adsorptive desulfurization of liquid fuels and photocatalysis applications
(2021-12-02)
The first part of this study focuses on the mechanisms study of UV photo-induced adsorptive desulfurization of liquid model fuels on anatase TiO2 adsorbents. Previous studies showed UV irradiation during or prior to the ...
Study of Chicken Egg Qualities Related to Different Protein Level Dietaries and Various Types Of Layers
(2012-04-18)
To determine if strain (brown and white egg shell color type) or diet (16% crude protein, 15% crude protein and 14% crude protein) would affect the component portions of egg, protein composition of albumen, and whether the ...
