Livestock metabolomics is an emerging field of metabolomics that is growing at a fast rate. The ability to rapidly detect and quantify hundreds or even thousands of metabolites within a single sample is helping livestock scientists paint a far more complete picture of animal metabolism and...

Dairy cows often experience negative energy balance, fat mobilization and inflammation after calving, which increases health problems. Glutamate (Glu) is a primary energy source for the small intestine and a glucogenic amino acid in the liver, and feeding Glu enhances gastrointestinal growth,...

Video is the dominant medium through which we consume information. Due to the sheer volume of video content, it is of great interest in the research community to develop automated ways to make this content manageable. In video highlight detection, our goal is to automatically find interesting...

This work develops numerical methods (finite difference methods) for equations of fluid dynamics and equations of elasticity reformulated in the stress variables (as opposed to natural variables) and applies them to the Fluid-Structure Interac- tion (FSI) problem using a new model based on the...

Bacteria have evolved a protein homeostasis network to maintain the integrity of their proteome. Chaperones and proteases of the core genome can be complemented by accessory genes encoding additional elements of the protein homeostasis network. The transmissible locus of stress tolerance (tLST)...

Dust is one of the leading contributors to particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere and can be natural (i.e., mineral dust) and anthropogenic (i.e., road and industrial dust) in origin. Natural and anthropogenic dusts provide a reactive surface for the chemical transformation of pollutant gases,...

The cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria is a unique multilayered structure that protects them from the constantly changing and often times inhospitable environments, and significantly contributes to their virulence. Having a complex structure, it requires an extensive regulatory network to...

Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) are fatty acids with chain lengths between 6-12 carbons and are primarily metabolized by the liver, however they may be absorbed and metabolized by intestinal mucosa. Medium-chain fatty acids provide the animal with available energy quicker as compared to other...

The social studies and history education research communities have paid a great deal of attention to citizenship and citizenship education. This dissertation, as both theoretical and empirical parts of that scholarly attention, delves deeper into the ways in which we attend to good citizenship in...

The rapid isolation of specific rare target cells is of rising importance in current targeted patient treatment plans. Common cell sorting approaches such as stream-based dielectrophoresis (DEP) based cell sorters are limited by their spatial dimensions as only a number of cell types...
