A Novel Method of Measuring Refractory Black Carbon Mass and Number Distributions by Inversion of CPMA-SP2 Data
DownloadFall 2017
A new method of examining mass and number distributions of nanoscale refractive black carbon (rBC) particles has been developed. This method will be useful for atmospheric scientists conducting semi-continuous measurement of atmospheric rBC. The new method uses a Centrifugal Particle Mass...

Acoustic and elastic least-squares two-way wave equation migration with exact adjoint operator
DownloadSpring 2017
A major problem in exploration seismology entails estimating subsurface structures and properties via linearized inversion. The problem is often called ''least-squares migration" where seismic imaging is posed as an iterative least-squares problem. The iterative solution employs the method of...

Adolescents’ safety on the Internet is a prime concern in society. Sexual predators use the online environment regularly to solicit adolescents for sexual purposes; however, we know very little about the experiences of adolescents who become victimized in this way. This research used a thematic...

The recognition of virus infected cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes is dependent on antigen presentation by MHC class I on the cell surface. Antigen presentation is critically dependent on the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP), which facilitates the transport of peptides across...

Improving feed efficiency has become a top priority in beef cattle production because of the rapidly increasing cost of feed provision. However, because of the expense associated with collecting individual animal feed intake data, only a relatively small number of animals have been tested,...

Application of genomics-based tools leading to the identification of markers on bovine chromosome 14 influencing milk production and carcass quality traits
DownloadFall 2009
Genetic improvements in beef and dairy cattle can bring significant advances in satisfying the global food demand, which is expected to double by 2050. Several DNA markers have been identified on bovine chromosome 14 (BTA14), but low mapping resolution prevents their refinement for identification...

Are Sex and Estrogen Modulators of Sympathetic Vascular Control in Resting and Contracting Skeletal Muscle?
DownloadSpring 2018
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate whether sex and estrogen modulate sympathetic neurovascular control in resting and contracting skeletal muscle. This thesis also investigated the hypothesis that the effects of sex and estrogen on neurovascular control would be mediated by the signal...

Cervid Prion Protein Polymorphisms Modulate the Diversity of Chronic Wasting Disease Prion Strains
DownloadSpring 2017
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious prion disease spreading and emerging in wild and captive Cervidae species worldwide. Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders occurring in various mammalian species including deer, elk, sheep, cattle and humans. Central to prion...
