MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA – A PROBLEM IN HOT TUBS AND WHIRLPOOLS IN CANADA
DownloadFall 2022
Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most problematic opportunistic pathogens. It is resistant to many currently used antibiotics, making it difficult to treat, and resistance may transfer to other P. aeruginosa strains. The organism can acquire resistance through horizontal gene...

Elucidating the role of the Cpx envelope stress response in the colonization and virulence of Citrobacter rodentium
DownloadSpring 2022
The murine attaching and effacing (A/E) pathogen, Citrobacter rodentium, is used as an infection model in vivo for the A/E pathogens enterohemorrhagic and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EHEC and EPEC). All three A/E pathogens harbor the Locus of Enterocyte Effacement (LEE) which encodes a...

The topological recursion is a construction in algebraic geometry that takes in the data of a so-called spectral curve, $\mathcal{S}=\left(\Sigma,x,y\right)$ where $\Sigma$ is a Riemann surface and $x,y:\Sigma\to\mathbb{C}_\infty$ are meromorphic, and recursively constructs correlators which, in...

Assessing seascape-wide ecological connectivity in support of conservation and restoration efforts in the Florida Keys, USA
DownloadSpring 2022
Multi-habitat use is a widespread strategy for marine organisms, including numerous coral reef fish and invertebrate species of ecological and economic importance. Through daily, seasonal, or ontogenetic migrations, these species play vital roles in maintaining functional connectivity, i.e., the...

Space and habitat use of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in Davis Strait in relation to sea ice conditions and harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus)
DownloadFall 2022
Patterns of space use and habitat selection by polar bears (Ursus maritimus) vary among subpopulations where they have been studied. The Davis Strait subpopulation is one of the least researched polar bear subpopulations and their spatial ecology is largely unknown. As an obligate carnivore,...
