Stephanie J. Peacock, Andrew W. Bateman, Martin Krkosek, Mark A. Lewis
The dynamics of coupled populations have mostly been studied in the context of metapopulation viability with application to, for example, species at risk. However, when considering pests and pathogens, eradication, not persistence, is often the end goal. Humans may intervene to control nuisance...

The effect of growth temperature, process temperature, and sodium chloride on the high pressure inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes on ham
Download2016-01-01
Teixeira, Januana S., Maier, Maximilian B., Miller, Petr, Gänzle, Michael G., McMullen, Lynn M.
This study investigated the effect of growth temperature (8–32 °C), process temperature (−17 to 32 °C), and sodium chloride concentration (0–3 %) on the lethality of pressure to Listeria monocytogenes. Pressure treatments were performed using a 5-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes. Cultures...

The Efficacy of Directed Studies Courses as a Form of Undergraduate Research Experience: A Comparison of Instructor and Student Perspectives on Course Dynamics
Download2018-01-01
Moore, Sean E., Hvenegaard, Glen T., Wesselius, Janet C.
Directed Studies (DS) courses are widely touted for their ability to enhance research skills in undergraduate students – yet little is known about the dynamics, motivations, and perceived outcomes connected to these specific type of undergraduate research experiences. Building on earlier...

The impacts of changing flight demands and throughput performance on airport delays through the Great Recession
Download2019-11-07
Several significant events between 2007 and 2009 impacted flight demands and the abilities of the three major New York area airports to handle demand. This paper assesses the results of applying a probabilistic simulation method – which isolates the individual contributions of changes in flight...

The influence of bird information, attitudes, and demographics on publicpreferences toward urban green spaces: The case of Montpellier, France
Download2009-01-01
Caula, Sabina, Hvenegaard, Glen T., Marty, P.
Urban sprawl is a major driving force of land use change. To develop strategies for sustainable urban development,planners need suitable indicators, one of which is the quality and quantity of green spaces in a city. To implementconservation strategies for urban areas, an assessment of how people...

The influence of deposition solution pH and ionic strength on the quality of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel-based thin films and etalons
Download2013-01-01
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgel-based thin films and etalons were fabricated via “painting” a pNIPAm-co-AAc microgel monolayer on a Au-coated substrate, followed by the deposition of another Au overlayer. Herein, in situ observation of how the pH and ionic...

The influence of governance structure on local resilience: Enabling and constraining factors for climate change adaptation in practice
Download2023-01-01
Birchall, S. Jeff, Bonnett, Nicole, Kehler, Sarah
Across the globe, the need to adapt is urgent. Coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to climate stressors such as rising sea levels and erosion, while more extreme and variable weather events interact to accentuate risk. While local governments are increasingly recognized as a central...

Bonnett, Nicole, Birchall, S. Jeff
This study examines extent and quality of climate adaptation integration within strategic plans of local governments in British Columbia, Canada. Strategic plans (n=39) were assessed using plan content analysis in order to understand whether regional planning leads to adaptation action by...

The locus of heat resistance (LHR) mediates heat resistance in Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae
Download2017-06-01
Mercer, Ryan G., Walker, Brian D., Yang, Xianqin, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
Enterobacteriaceae comprise food spoilage organisms as well as food-borne pathogens including Escherichia coli. Heat resistance in E. coli was attributed to a genomic island called the locus of heat resistance (LHR). This genomic island is also present in several other genera of...
