This thesis examines the pollination ecology of Alabama species of Spigelia. Alabama currently has two species that are under threat of extinction: S. gentianoides and S. alabamensis. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has ...

A Floristic Study of Weaver Creek Wetland, Santa Rosa County, Florida 

Holt, Courtney (2008-05-15)
Steepheads (streams that originate from the bases of valley walls) create a unique freshwater wetland habitat. Currently, steepheads are known to exist only in the southeastern United States along the Gulf Coastal Plain. ...

Flow Around Axisymmetric and Two-dimensional Forward-Facing Cavities 

Rifki, Rifki (2006-05-15)
Flowfield of axisymmetric and two-dimensional forward facing cavities was investigated. Flow visualization results obtained using PLIF and hydrogen bubbles were used to develop a generic flow topology consisting of a ...

Flow-Directed Assembly of Cellulose Nanocrystal Dispersions with Ordered Film Applications 

Haywood, Alexander (2016-07-28)
This dissertation presents the results of highly collaborative research on the fluid-phase assembly of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) into ordered films. Due to their extraordinary properties, CNC are increasingly being ...

Fluctuating Asymmetry of White-Tailed Deer Antlers 

deFreese, Rachel (2007-08-15)
Fluctuating asymmetry has been proposed as an indirect indicator of individual quality. Sexually selected traits, such as deer antlers, are expected to exhibit patterns of decreasing level of fluctuating asymmetry with ...

Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Cavities with Inlet and Outlet Ports: Effect of Flow Oscillation and Application to Design of Microvalves 

Saeidi, Seyed (2005-12-15)
A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code is developed and tested to solve the two-dimensional form of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The flow field and heat transfer in a square cavity with inlet and outlet ports ...

Fluoroquinolone-associated mutations in soxS, a transcriptional regulator of AcrAB efflux pump 

Lazzaroni, Caterina (2013-11-08)
Escherichia coli is a major cause of urinary tract infections in companion animals and efflux pump over expression has been associated with high-level fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance. The purpose of this study was to ...

Fluxity 

Palacios, Felipe (2014-05-01)
Linear, static, and monofunctional methods of design have historically resulted in landscapes of permanence, fixity, and immutability, even though they work within dynamic systems. This thesis emerges from the interest of ...
