Massive Open Online Courses (Moocs) And Other Digital Initiatives, Kenneth C. Green Aug 2013

Massive Open Online Courses (Moocs) And Other Digital Initiatives, Kenneth C. Green

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Forget basketball and March madness. Aside from always pressing financial issues, it is “MOOC madness” that has emerged as the topic du jour at a growing number of American colleges and universities. Indeed, in boardrooms all across the country, people are grappling with what the advent of MOOCs—massive open online courses—means to their institutions.

Mitochondrial Energetics Of Benthic And Pelagic Antarctic Teleosts, Eloy Martinez, Michael A. Menze, Joseph P. Torres Jun 2013

Mitochondrial Energetics Of Benthic And Pelagic Antarctic Teleosts, Eloy Martinez, Michael A. Menze, Joseph P. Torres

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Antarctic fauna are highly adapted to the frigid waters of the Southern Ocean. This study describes the in vitro temperature sensitivity of oxygen consumption rates measured in liver mitochondria from the pelagic notothenioid Pleuragramma antarcticum between 5 and 35 C. Oxygen fluxes were measured after the addition of millimolar levels of pyruvate, malate, succinate and glutamate (state II, LEAK) and saturating levels of ADP [state III, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)]. State III respiration significantly decreased above 18.7 C. A comparison of the oxidative capacities among P. antarcticum and other notothenioids showed significant differences in state III respiration, where benthic species exhibited …


Supra-Physiological Doses Of Testosterone Affect Membrane Oxidation Of Human Neutrophils Monitored By The Fluorescent Probe C11-Bodipy581/591, Tacito Pessoa De Souza Jr, Andre K. Yamada, Roberto Simao, Tatiana G. Polotow, Rui Curi, Zachary Pope, Jeffrey Willardson, Marcelo P. Barros May 2013

Supra-Physiological Doses Of Testosterone Affect Membrane Oxidation Of Human Neutrophils Monitored By The Fluorescent Probe C11-Bodipy581/591, Tacito Pessoa De Souza Jr, Andre K. Yamada, Roberto Simao, Tatiana G. Polotow, Rui Curi, Zachary Pope, Jeffrey Willardson, Marcelo P. Barros

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of supra-physiological doses of testosterone (TES) on membrane oxidation of activated human neutrophils in vitro using an innovative and sensitive technique: the real-time detection with the fluorescence probe C11-BODIPY581/591. Methodological controls were performed with the lipid-soluble and powerful antioxidant astaxanthin at different neutrophil density cultures. Neutrophils from nine healthy young men (23.4 ± 2.5 years, 174.4 ± 7.0 cm height, and 78.3 ± 7.0 kg weight) were isolated and treated with 0.1 or 10 μM TES for 24 h and subsequently labeled with the free radical-sensitive probe C11-BODIPY581/591 for monitoring …


Puccinia Mariae-Wilsoniae And Claytonia Virginica: A Pathogen's Tale, Sarah A. Schlund May 2013

Puccinia Mariae-Wilsoniae And Claytonia Virginica: A Pathogen's Tale, Sarah A. Schlund

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Rusts are economically important fungal plant pathogens. For the majority of rust species, complete life history data, including host range, geographic distribution, plant response to the rust, identity of alternate hosts, and mode of sexual reproduction are incomplete. The purpose of this study was to examine the life history of Puccinia mariae-wilsoniae, a rust on Claytonia virginica (spring beauty), and to observe responses in leaf anatomy to its fungal pathogen. Spring beauty is an ephemeral woodland plant that lasts three to four weeks and P. mariae-wilsoniae infects C. virginica almost as soon as the plant emerges from dormancy in …


Seed Germination And Seed Bank Of Scutellaria Species, Jennifer O'Brien May 2013

Seed Germination And Seed Bank Of Scutellaria Species, Jennifer O'Brien

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Florida skullcap, Scutellaria floridana Chapm. (Lamiaceae), is a federally threatened species found in the Florida Panhandle. Its habitat is a fire-prone, longleaf pine forest dominated by Aristida stricta Michx. var. beyrichiana (wiregrass). Other Scutellaria species used in the study are found in southeastern U.S., including two within the Florida Panhandle. The objective of this study was to compare several techniques to germinate seeds of Scutellaria incana, Scutellaria lateriflora, Scutellaria ovata ssp. ovata, and Scutellaria floridana, and to access the presence of a seed bank for S. floridana. For the germination study, Scutellaria later …


An Assessment Of Transformation Protocols Of Trametes Versicolor: A Possible Biological Pretreatment For Biomass, Michelle Hartnett May 2013

An Assessment Of Transformation Protocols Of Trametes Versicolor: A Possible Biological Pretreatment For Biomass, Michelle Hartnett

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Lignin is an obstacle in large-scale biofuel production. This can be overcome by the use of fungal pretreatment. This experiment assessed two transformation assays, based on the protocols of Laccaria bicolor and Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and applied them to Trametes versicolor. In order to determine a successful transformation, T. versicolor was transformed with green fluorescence protein (GFP) using the two assays, followed by detection of transformed mycelia under UV light. The two protocols were assessed based on timeliness, ease, and effectiveness. Based on the quantity of viable transformants and ease, the membrane assay described for Laccaria is successful when …

Decline In Mitochondrial Respiration In Post-Ovariectomy Mice Is Ameliorated By Beta Estradiol Treatment: Insights On Alzheimer's Disease, William L. Fernandez May 2013

Decline In Mitochondrial Respiration In Post-Ovariectomy Mice Is Ameliorated By Beta Estradiol Treatment: Insights On Alzheimer's Disease, William L. Fernandez

Undergraduate Honors Theses

The female sex hormone estrogen has potent neuroprotective properties. Some of these effects may be due to direct modulation of mitochondrial functions. I hypothesized that β-estradiol, a specific hormone of the estrogen family, will improve mitochondrial bioenergetics in ovariectomized mice. Mice (C57BL/6J, female, 4-10 months-old) were ovariectomized via bilateral incision and control animals underwent sham surgery. Ovariectomized mice were divided into two groups. One group received a subcutaneous injection of 17-β-estradiol (E2) dissolved in com oil (30 ng/g) 24 h prior to synaptosome isolation (estradiol group). The second group received com oil alone (OVX). Synaptosomes were isolated from the forebrain …


Seed Ecology Of Federally Threatened Pinguicula Ionantha (Godfrey's Butterwort), Jenna Annis May 2013

Seed Ecology Of Federally Threatened Pinguicula Ionantha (Godfrey's Butterwort), Jenna Annis

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Pinguicula ionantha G. (Lentibulariaceae) is a carnivorous plant occurring in historically fire-dependent bog habitats of longleaf pine savannas. The species is limited to 6 counties within the Florida Panhandle. The species is currently listed as federally threatened due largely to habitat loss. The objective of this research is to provide the appropriate Pinguicula ionantha germination and seed bank information that would aid in the deli sting of the species. Eleven collections of Pinguicula ionantha seeds were made from natural populations. All germination trials took place in a seed germination chamber. Treatments included stratification, liquid smoke solutions, plant growth regulators (PGR), …
