Real-Time, in-situ Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria on Food Surfaces Using a Surface-Scanning Coil Detector and Phage-Based Magnetoelastic Biosensors
(2014-04-23)
This research uses wireless magnetoelastic (ME) biosensors combined with a surface-scanning coil detector for the direct, real-time detection of Salmonella Typhimurium on fresh food surfaces. The ME biosensor consists of ...
Transcriptional Adaptations to Low Salinity in Euryhaline Crustaceans
(2014-05-02)
The transfer of euryhaline crustaceans from full-strength seawater to low salinity is
known to induce a myriad of physiology changes corresponding with active ion uptake across the
posterior gill pairs. The goal of this ...
Simulation and Analysis of a Metamaterial Filter on a Flexible Liquid Crystal Polymer Substrate
(2014-04-25)
Since 1968 there has been an ever increasing interest in the study of metamaterials. These man-made substances have tremendous potential to change the scientific study of optics, communications, and the overall RF regime. ...
Linear Topological Spaces
(2014-04-25)
In this thesis several topics from Topology, Linear Algebra, and Real Analysis are combined in the study of linear topological spaces. We begin with a brief look at linear spaces before moving on to study some basic ...
Random Time Change and Some Applications
(2014-04-25)
This thesis is a survey of known results concerning random time change and its applications. It will cover basic probabilistic concepts and then follow with a detailed look at major results in several branches of probability ...
The influence of aboveground tree biomass, home age, yard maintenance and soil texture on soil carbon levels in residential yards
(2014-04-25)
Urban land area is expanding worldwide; however, little is known about the dynamics of urban soil C. In natural forests and grasslands, soil C levels increase after disturbances in part due to organic C contributions from ...
Investigation of the Use of Steel Intermediate Diaphragms and Temporary Bracing Alternatives for Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
(2014-04-23)
Common in bridge construction today, diaphragms are placed transverse to the girders, connecting adjacent girders to provide stability and transmit loads. Diaphragms are defined as either end diaphragms – used at the ends ...
Koreabama: Exploring the Recent Social and Landscape Impacts of South Korean Migration Trends and Patterns in the Rural South
(2014-04-25)
Korean immigration to the United States has been changing over the last few decades. Historically, Korean immigrants have been characterized by the stereotype of female Koreans seeking marriage to male American military ...
An Examination of How Self-Control and Impulsivity Influences Eating Habits and Alcohol Use
(2014-04-25)
People frequently make decisions that might affect their health. Obesity and alcohol dependence are debilitating problems facing many adults and individual differences in self-control and impulsivity may contribute to the ...
Use of N-mixture models for estimating white-tailed deer populations and impacts of predator removal and interspecific competition
(2014-04-25)
Predation and competition can have significant effects on population dynamics. Range expansion of coyotes (Canis latrans) and the growing number of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) can negatively impact white-tailed deer (Odocoileus ...
