Diamanti, Jeffrey Mathew Gerald
Aesthetic Economies of Growth; Energy, Value, and the Work of Culture After Oil offers a cultural history of energy after the industrialization of fossil fuels. My argument is that the political economy of fossil fuels, and the climate change it generates, is anchored to energy’s aesthetic...

Anterior and Middle Cranial Base Growth and Development Changes as Assessed Through CBCT Imaging in Adolescents
DownloadFall 2015
Introduction: In this study three dimensional Cone beam computed tomography is used to evaluate intra-rater, inter-rater and accuracy of selected 3D landmarks of anterior and middle cranial bases. Growth related dimensional changes of anterior and middle cranial base structures are then assessed ...

Application of a biomechanical finite element spine model to the vicious cycle scoliosis growth theory: evaluation of improved FEA geometry and material assignment
DownloadFall 2009
Scoliosis is defined as the abnormal three dimensional curvature of the spine with 80% of all cases being idiopathic in nature. If left unchecked, this condition can cause cardio-pulmonary complications and occasionally death. Currently, the most common method of treatment of scoliosis is through...

Effects of the endophyte Piriformospora indica on growth, physiology and water relations of tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum)
DownloadSpring 2012
In the current study, wildtype and transgenic tobacco constitutively over-expressing Arabidopsis aquaporins PIP 1;4 and PIP 2;5 were grown in association with the endophyte Piriformospora indica. Root hydraulic conductivity along with various physiological parameters and aquaporin expression were...

Factors affecting larval growth and development of the boreal chorus frog Pseudacris maculata
DownloadFall 2010
The boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata) is a widespread species but we know little of its ecology. I examined the nature and existence of competitive mechanisms operating between larvae of the boreal chorus frog and wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) from field, mesocosm and laboratory venues...

The development of a biorefining process acknowledges the feedstock characterization as it can often dictate the process technology. The maturity stages of agricultural feedstocks also have the potential for altering the process conditions. Thus, the variability of growth stages at 4-6 leaf,...

Background Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Vertical transmission is the primary mode of HIV acquisition among infants. Although successful interventions have reduced vertical transmission to less than <2.9% in low-to-middle income countries...

Life history strategies of northern form Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma malma) in the western Canadian Arctic
DownloadFall 2017
Northern form Dolly Varden char (Salvelinus malma malma) inhabit cold-water streams in the western Canadian Arctic. They are an important cultural and subsistence resource to local Aboriginal communities, yet little is known about their complex early life histories. Populations of Dolly Varden...

Litter birth weight phenotype and maternal n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation in pigs
DownloadSpring 2013
Research reported in this thesis investigated effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) supplementation, litter birth weight phenotype, and their possible interactions, on reproductive performance of the gilt and sow and postnatal performance of the litter. In an initial study, LCPUFA...

Physiological responses of glycophytic and halophytic grasses Poa pratensis, Poa juncifolia, and Puccinellia nuttalliana to salt stress
DownloadFall 2017
Responses of two halophytic grasses Puccinellia nuttalliana and Poa juncifolia to treatments with NaCl were compared with the glycophytic grass Poa pratensis to better understand salt tolerance mechanisms in these plants. The experiments were carried out under controlled-environment conditions...
