All-Carbon Molecular Electronics: From Flexible Fabrication to Multi-Step Transport and Molecular Optoelectronics
DownloadSpring 2018
The central idea of molecular electronics is to incorporate individual or ensemble molecules into the electronic circuit units in the hope of creating miniaturized functional devices with unique properties. This dissertation aims to present my efforts to pursue this ultimate goal, covering the...

Antimicrobial activity of bioactive starch packaging films against Listeria monocytogenes and reconstituted meat microbiota on ham
Download2019-01-01
Zhao, Yujia, Teixeira, Januana S., Saldaña, Marleny D.A., Gänzle, Michael G.
Contamination with spoilage organisms and Listeria monocytogenes are major concerns for quality and safety of cooked ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the use of antimicrobial starch packaging films to control competitive microbiota and L....

Application of antimicrobials for the elimination of Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes in brine injected beef
DownloadFall 2013
The application of antimicrobials to a brine-injected raw beef roast for the elimination/inhibition of heat resistant Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes was investigated. The choice of antimicrobials for use in brine injected beef was based on minimum bactericidal concentration in brine...

Spring 2022
Meat products, including ready-to-eat (RTE) ham, fresh poultry meat, and dry pet foods have been associated with several foodborne outbreaks and recalls, due to the occurrence of microbial pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Elimination of these...

Behaviour of cold-adapted Listeria monocytogenes under conditions representative of meat processing plants
DownloadSpring 2012
The objective of this study was to examine filamentation characteristics of cold-adapted Listeria monocytogenes under conditions representative of a meat processing plant. Initial analysis of 16 strains found three strains with a wide range of filamentation characteristics and these were used in...

Spring 2018
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains are pathogens which frequently cause human intestinal diseases. The main virulence factor Shiga toxin (Stx) is encoded by the gene located on the Stx prophage and gene expression is affected by the diversity of Stx prophage genome. Nineteen...

Design and simulation of a short, 10 MV, variable energy linear accelerator for use in linac-MR systems
DownloadFall 2016
Hybrid linac-MR devices are currently being designed and constructed by several groups around the world which combine a linear accelerator with an MRI in order to enable real-time 3D imaging to visualize tumor movement during external beam radiotherapy treatments. Each of the current systems is...

Spring 2023
When a photon experiences a change in momentum of any form, be it being absorbed or reflected from a surface, the photon will exert a force upon that material. This force is called the radiation pressure force. One way that we can harness this radiation pressure force is to couple optical and...

Development of an optical biosensor based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometry for detection of Listeria monocytogenes
DownloadFall 2013
Label-free optical biosensors are widely used for the detection of pathogens due to their low-cost, real-time detection and high sensitivity. A Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) based biosensor has been developed for the detection of gram-positive bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes. An extensive...

Development of imaging-based techniques to examine signalling properties of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) leukocyte immune-type receptors (IpLITRs)
DownloadSpring 2017
Cells of the innate immune system have the ability to rapidly detect and eliminate pathogens using surface-expressed immunoregulatory receptors that translate extracellular binding into effector functions such as degranulation, cytokine secretion, cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and phagocytosis....
