Solitary Chemosensory Cells Throughout The Life Cycle Of The Sea Lamprey, Petromyzon Marinus, Tina E. Suntres
Solitary Chemosensory Cells Throughout The Life Cycle Of The Sea Lamprey, Petromyzon Marinus, Tina E. Suntres
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The sea lamprey is a basal lineage vertebrate and an invasive species in the Great Lakes. It possess a diffuse chemosensory system with microvillous solitary chemosensory cells (SCCs) located on papillae along the gill pore, oral disc and tail. The objectives of this study were to assess the abundance of SCCs across life stages, and to characterize the innervation and biochemical properties. At all three locations, SCCs were most abundant in the spawning stage compared to earlier life stages, suggesting a role during reproduction. Prominent calretinin and 5-HT labeling show homology to previously identified taste cells and to SCCs in …
The Implementation Of A New Program Of Leadership Development With Female Varsity Athletes: A Pilot Study, Ashley Michelle Duguay
The Implementation Of A New Program Of Leadership Development With Female Varsity Athletes: A Pilot Study, Ashley Michelle Duguay
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of the current study was to develop, implement, and examine a new program of leadership development with varsity athletes. The sample comprised 27 varsity athletes (Mage = 20.30, SD = 2.07) who were assigned to a rookie (n = 7), emerging (n = 11), or veteran (n = 9) leader group based on their year of tenure. Each group participated in four workshops over the course of a season focused on developing both leader (human capital) and leadership (social capital) capabilities. In terms of leader development, results indicated significant increases in ratings of the use of eight of …
Development And Testing Of A Reconfigurable Gasoline Engine Control Module, Christopher John Kelly
Development And Testing Of A Reconfigurable Gasoline Engine Control Module, Christopher John Kelly
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A dynamometer laboratory may typically face the following issues on a daily basis: the lack/availability of a calibration, software limiters, hardware failure codes/modes, hardware/software level incompatibilities and the time/knowledge required to troubleshoot these issues. A Reconfigurable Engine Controller (REC), which provides freedom to operate the engine under any condition, eliminates many of these issues. The result is an accelerated engine development process which includes engine mapping and/or testing new algorithms before implementation on production hardware. A REC can provide a flexible tailored controller to suit the needs of the individual testing application. This research used the dSPACE MicroAutoBox and RapidPro …
