Foodborne Pathogens And Water Quality In Commercial-Scale Aquaponic Systems With Rapid Micro Screen Solids Removal, Sean Zachary Fogarty

Master's Theses and Capstones

To meet global nutritional needs, humans need to produce an ever-increasing amount of food with dwindling natural resources. Demand for nutritious foods, particularly lean meat, fruits, and vegetables, is rapidly accelerating. To increase the intensity of production and utilize non-arable land, many growers are turning to controlled environment agriculture systems like hydroponic crop production and aquaculture (fish farming), but these are inherently inefficient in terms of water and nutrient utilization. Aquaponics is a relatively novel agricultural method that combines hydroponic and aquacultural production models to mitigate many of the costs—both realized and implicit, environmental and economic—associated with either production model …

Genomic And Physiological Bioremediation Characteristics Of The Actinobacteria Frankia, Erik Swanson

Doctoral Dissertations

Introduction: Frankia is a genus of symbiotic, nitrogen fixing actinobacteria found in the soil and root tissue of actinorhizal plants throughout the world. Both Frankia and actinorhizal plants are resistant to a wide range of environmental and chemical stresses including heavy metals, high salinity, and drought. This makes Frankia and the actinorhizal symbiosis an interesting candidate for bioremediation applications. However, the microbial community found in the actinorhizal rhizosphere and surrounding soil has been implicated in some of the symbiotic and resistance traits attributed to Frankia. This necessitates thorough investigation of the genomic and genetic components of any bioremediation traits possessed …

Presentation Slides For Implementing Socially Just Climate Adaptation: A Case Study Of Boston, Massachusetts, Jeffrey T. Malloy

Doctoral Dissertations

The urgency to adapt to climate change presents important questions about who stands to benefit from these efforts. The previous two decades of scholarship devoted to social justice in climate adaptation has established an important theoretical basis to evaluate these questions. Less understood however, is how and under what conditions climate adaptation policy implementation promotes or inhibits justice for socially vulnerable populations. This work draws upon the disciplines of urban climate change governance, climate adaptation, urban planning, social justice theory, and policy implementation, to evaluate ongoing climate adaptation policy initiatives in Boston, Massachusetts. Through a case study approach, this dissertation …

Becoming Scientists: Undergraduate Students' Literacy Activities In Laboratory Education, Allison Giannotti

Doctoral Dissertations

In laboratory courses across universities, undergraduate students are learning to act, think, and write like professional scientists. Yet, despite the centrality of language and literacy in laboratory experiments, the process of becoming scientifically literate remains ambiguous. Thus, my dissertation examines how university laboratory courses foster undergraduate students’ emergence as literate professionals and competent communicators in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. In particular, it examines undergraduate students’ literate practices, how they change over time, and how they are affected by material and experimental processes in three sequenced, chemistry laboratory courses. Through laboratory observations and interviews with undergraduate students, faculty, …

Utilization Of Exotic Germplasm In A Cucurbita Breeding Program, Andrew Burkeland Ogden

Doctoral Dissertations

Crops in the Cucurbitaceae plant family are an important part of agricultural systems worldwide. This family includes economically important crops such as watermelon, cucumber, pumpkins, melons, and squash. These crops are plagued by a wide variety of both insect and plant pathogen pests. Breeding for genetic resistance to these pests represents a key component of many cucurbit breeding programs in both public and private sectors. Sources for disease and pest resistance often include wild species and landraces found across the world. Often, such species show poor adaptability to temperate climates. This limits plant breeders’ abilities to utilize exotic germplasm and …

Cognitive Buffer-Aided Cooperative Networks: Scheduling, Resource Allocation, And Performance Analysis, Omid Moghimi Kandelusy

Doctoral Dissertations

Electromagnetic spectrum, as a limited resource, is prone to scarcity due to the astronomical growth in demands for ubiquitous wireless connectivity in the past few decades. Meeting such an ever-growing demand is contingent upon optimizing the spectrum utilization. In this context, dynamic spectrum access policies, such as spectrum sharing, are promising solutions to mitigate the spectrum gridlock. Spectrum sharing networks are allowed to operate on the licensed frequency bands as the secondary users of the spectrum provided that the licensed primary network is protected from any disruptive interference due to the coexistence. The stringent constraints on the secondary network for …

Large Scale Organizational Intervention To Improve Emergency Department Throughput In A Community Hospital, Karen Elliott

DNP Scholarly Projects

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Emergency Department boarding is a well-documented systemic problem across the country. ED-2b, the time from decision to admit a patient to Emergency Department departure, is specified by the Joint Commission as a quality measure for Emergency Department boarding. ED-2b metrics have been a longstanding challenge at this community hospital outside the nation’s capital. The aim of this study was to reduce median ED-2b times by 10% compared to fiscal year 2020 (FY20). To accomplish the reduction in time, a multidisciplinary throughput committee was developed with subsequent action plans designed to improve Emergency Department throughput.

METHODS: The Plan Do …

Blue Carbon Characteristics In Stormwater Bioretention Systems, Benjamin Sawosik

Master's Theses and Capstones

Recent studies have found that wetland ecosystems such as mangrove forests, tidal salt marshes, and seagrass beds serve as substantial carbon sinks. Carbon stored in the terrestrial environment rather than in the atmosphere has significant climate implications. Stormwater bioretention systems are intended to hydrologically manage urban runoff as well as reduce pollutant loading to receiving waters. In addition, bioretention systems may represent a significant sink of carbon. This secondary ecosystem service could be used as carbon credits to offset the global increase in carbon emissions. Soil samples were taken at varying depths and locations at 8 salt marsh and 21 …

Feedback Control Of Fed-Batch Cultures Using Raman Spectroscopy For Metabolite Estimation, Brian Hadley

Master's Theses and Capstones

The monitoring and control of mammalian cell culture processes are critical for the safe and cost-effective development of biotherapeutics in drug development. Current control using off line sampling is infrequent and can miss important metabolic shifts which can impact product quality and consistency. Raman spectroscopy can provide in-line monitoring of multiple metabolites and critical process parameters to allow automation and process improvements. In this research a generic model was developed for monitoring multiple cell lines with a platform Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell process. Parameter estimation was then used for the implementation of feedback control. Two nutrient feeds were added …

Epigenetic Regulation During The Differentiation Of Embryonic Stem Cells Into Cardiomyocytes, Nan Yang

Master's Theses and Capstones

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, constituting a quarter of total deaths every year. One reason behind the high mortality of heart disease is the limited regenerative capacity of cardiomyocytes (CMs), which carry out the contractile function for the heart. Lineage-specific differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into CMs provides a promising therapeutic strategy, warranting in-depth research for the mechanistic understanding of this sophisticated process to achieve homogenous production of cardiomyocytes with high purity and large quantity. Three-dimensional culture systems, such as microporous hydrogel, have been demonstrated to promote CM differentiation but little is known …
