Broccoli sprout supplementation during placental insufficiency confers structural and functional neuroprotection to the fetal rat
DownloadSpring 2010
Background: Perinatal ischemic brain injury leads to developmental disability (DD), which accounts for 30% of disabilities in children. Antepartum risk, or risk occurring prior to birth occurs in more than 90% of cases. This study investigated whether maternal ingestion of a natural health...

Development of Surrogate Spinal Cords for the Evaluation of Electrode Arrays Used in Intraspinal Implants
DownloadSpring 2012
A surrogate spinal cord was developed to test the mechanical stability of electrode arrays for intraspinal implants. The mechanical and surface properties of candidate materials were tested. The elastic modulus was characterized using dynamic mechanical analysis. Forces required to indent the...

Modification of Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) through Addition of Bio-based Plasticizing Materials and Additive Manufacturing Processing
DownloadFall 2018
The non-degradable polymers currently used for commercial production and application may be inexpensive; however, their excessive use is leading to unprecedented amounts of plastic waste and extensive environmental damage. The demand for biologically-derived, biodegradable polymers is therefore...

Physiological and genomic characterization of six virulent bacteriophages of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 for biocontrol and detection applications
DownloadSpring 2019
Despite multiple control strategies in all steps of the food production chain, outbreaks of foodborne pathogens are common worldwide. More effective ways to prevent, eliminate or at least detect their presence before products reach consumers are of great interest to the general public, the food...
