(2021-06-10)
The purpose of this dissertation study was twofold. First, this research study examined the role of noncognitive factors on degree completion, academic achievement, and persistence. Second, this research study examined the ...
Mitigation of Alkali-Silica Reaction in the Bibb Graves Bridge
(2012-07-23)
The Bibb Graves Bridge in Wetumpka, AL has severe damage due to
alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in two of its reinforced concrete arches. A mitigation
procedure developed in the summer of 2010 by the FHWA, ALDOT, and ...
Mitigation of Cracking in Cast-In-Place Reinforced Concrete Box Culverts in Alabama
(2012-08-14)
Significant cracking was observed in Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) cast-in-place (CIP) reinforced concrete box culverts in the Anniston East Bypass (AEB) project in Anniston, AL. Numerous wide, transverse ...
Mitigation of Hurricane Damage in Pecan Orchards
(2020-11-17)
Hurricanes make landfall in the southeastern United States, the center of the majority of worldwide pecan production, on an annual basis. Hurricanes cause severe damage to orchards and reduce yield dramatically for years ...
Mitigation of the Effects of High Levels of High-Frequency Noise on MEMS Gyroscopes
(2013-07-24)
MEMS gyroscopes are being used in a variety of applications such as camcorders, vehicle stability control and game controllers. Sometimes they are used in harsh environments such as high levels of high-frequency noise. If ...
Mitochondrial behavior, morphology, and animal performance
(2021-10-18)
We have a limited understanding of the proximate mechanisms that are responsible for the development of variation in animal performance and life-history strategies. Many components of an organism’s successful life history–for ...
Mitochondrial Biology: RNA Import and Xenomitochondrial Compensatory Mechanisms
(2011-05-06)
Deficiencies or alterations in mitochondrial function can cause or exacerbate many human diseases, including metabolic and developmental disorders. The first experiments described herein were conducted to study compensatory ...
Mitochondrial Copper Transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2013-12-04)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains a copper pool within the mitochondrial matrix that is required for assembly and activity of cytochrome c oxidase. Matrix copper exists bound to an anionic, fluorescent molecule known as ...
Mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in response to induced reactive oxygen species and reproduction
(2018-07-24)
Mitochondria are pivotal in the survival of complex organisms, generating metabolic energy in all eukaryotic cells by breaking down carbohydrates, fatty acids, and protein from diet and converting them to ATP (adenosine ...
Mitochondrial Respiration, Oxidative Capacity, and Oxidative Stress in Skeletal Muscle
(2021-04-09)
Biologists and physiologists have been interested in the differences between birds and mammals for many years. Part of this is due to the distinct differences observed in fat breakdown in these animals. Importantly, fat ...
Mixed Groups with Decomposition Bases and Global k-Groups
(2006-08-15)
This thesis is devoted to proving assertions made without proof by Paul Hill and Charles Megibben in their fundamental papers regarding knice subgroups and the Axiom 3 characterization of global Warfield groups. The main ...
Mixed Infection in Tomato Plants by Dominant Bacterial Spot Pathogen and the Co-occurring Bacterial Species
(2022-03-08)
Pathogen dynamics can be altered by co-occurring pathogenic or opportunistic entities inhabiting the same host species. Mixed infection or co-infection caused by multiple pathogenic strains are common in nature. However, ...
