Subjectivity Of Solar Power: Using Q Methodology To Evaluate Perceptions Of Solar Energy Projects In The San Luis Valley, Aaron D. Russell May 2017

Subjectivity Of Solar Power: Using Q Methodology To Evaluate Perceptions Of Solar Energy Projects In The San Luis Valley, Aaron D. Russell

Geography ETDs

Renewable energy is on the verge of becoming a significant source of power generation and for many Americans, that will mean thinking and talking about energy technologies in new ways. Land intensive energies such as solar and green will compete more and more with aspects of our social world. This project focuses on the perception, acceptance, and discourse of renewable energy projects by examining the solar energy conversation in the San Luis Valley of Southern Colorado. This vast high-desert valley holds the excellent geographic conditions needed for the siting of large solar energy installations, but such projects continue to run …


Anisotropy And Emission From Air With Laser Filaments, Mohammadamin Rasoulof May 2017

Anisotropy And Emission From Air With Laser Filaments, Mohammadamin Rasoulof

Optical Science and Engineering ETDs

Laser filaments are extremely interesting entities for their unique characteristics. The high intensity inside the laser filaments creates nonlinear effects that are useful in many areas of optics. The laser filamentation is an appealing tool in the stand-off spectroscopy for its ability to propagate over long distances while maintains its extreme intensity. However, depletion of energy hinders its propagation over any desired distance. In order to understand the effect of laser filaments on the transparent medium that they propagate through, one needs to investigate interaction of the laser filaments with the constituents of media. In this work we study the …


Digital Technology, Literacies, And Identity: Experiences Of Historically Marginalized Adolescents, Daniel Olufemi Dr. May 2017

Digital Technology, Literacies, And Identity: Experiences Of Historically Marginalized Adolescents, Daniel Olufemi Dr.

Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs

New media and digital technologies shape the literacy practices and identity development of adolescents (Ellison, 2014, Barton & Hamilton, 2000; Perry, 2012; Lotherington & Jenson, 2011). Research into this phenomenon has largely focused on the general adolescent population. However, this narrative inquiry focuses on the experiences of four adolescents of color in New York City who live in poverty. Participants in this study visit a neighborhood library to access computers and the Internet. The researcher conducted semi-structure interviews in the library to evoke narratives about participants’ use of digital media and observed participants as they used the library computers. Analysis …


Immunology Of The Gray Short-Tailed Opossum During Pregnancy And Prenatal Development, Victoria L. Hansen May 2017

Immunology Of The Gray Short-Tailed Opossum During Pregnancy And Prenatal Development, Victoria L. Hansen

Biology ETDs

Vertebrate species that bear live young have overcome the evolutionary challenge of maintaining both a functional adaptive immune system and viviparous life cycle. In normal pregnancy, viviparous mothers are able sustain and nourish a fetus that is genetically half non-self without mounting an immunological attack. In 1953 Sir Peter Medawar brought attention to the “enigma of the fetal graft” and immunologists have been puzzling out the intricacies of fetal tolerance ever since. Although viviparity has evolved in all jawed vertebrate lineages aside from Aves, the vast majority of reproductive immunology research has been limited to eutherian mammals. There are insights …


Studies On The Effect Of Glycolysis And Pi(3,5)P2 On V-Atpase Activity, Dennis Ralph Dominguez May 2017

Studies On The Effect Of Glycolysis And Pi(3,5)P2 On V-Atpase Activity, Dennis Ralph Dominguez

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

We studied two signals that regulate the yeast vacuolar proton pump, V-ATPase, glucose and PI(3,5)P2.  V-ATPase regulation by glucose is linked to the glycolytic enzyme PFK-1. Chapter one investigates the relationship between V-ATPase and glycolysis in cells overexpressing the PFK-1 subunit Pfk2p.  We measured: (i) PFK-1 activity to determine the effect on PFK-1 function; and (ii) NADH autofluorescence to determine the effect on glycolysis. PFK2 overexpression decreased PFK-1 catalytic activity. However, the NADH synthesis rate increased by 1.4 – 2.6-fold, suggesting that excess Pfk2p enhanced the apparent glycolytic capacity of the cells. Vacuolar acidification was measured after the glucose concentration …


Simulation And Analysis Of The Band-Agile Coaxial Backward-Wave Oscillator, Phillip H. Fansler May 2017

Simulation And Analysis Of The Band-Agile Coaxial Backward-Wave Oscillator, Phillip H. Fansler

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

Simulation of a Band-Agile Coaxial Backward-Wave Oscillator (BACoRBWO) pro- duced a device that is tunable to operate in two distinct bands: L-band (1.4GHz) at 1.9GW with an efficiency of 26%, and C-band (4.2GHz) at 1.1GW with an efficiency of 15%. The device does not perform as expected based on existing literature; how- ever the end result is not necessarily undesirable. The need for further exploration of the discrepancies between contemporary literature and our findings notwithstanding, this device operates well enough of its own accord to merit additional study.


Cd82 Membrane Scaffolding Regulates Hematopoietic Cell Functions, Christina Marie Termini May 2017

Cd82 Membrane Scaffolding Regulates Hematopoietic Cell Functions, Christina Marie Termini

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Through their ability to self-renew and differentiate, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) maintain the adult blood and immune systems. The microenvironment, or niche, in which HSPCs reside, serves as a critical regulator of HSPC functions. As previous work has identified the tetraspanin CD82 as a mediator of HSPC-niche interactions, we aimed to determine the mechanism by which this occurs. Our data demonstrate that CD82 expression and scaffolding regulate HSPC interactions with niche components by organizing the α4 integrin subunit into tightly packed nanoclusters. The HSPC niche can also protect acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells from therapeutics. Therefore, we next examined how …


The War Against Teachers: How The Discourse Of A Nation At Risk Set The Agenda For Contemporary New Mexico Education Policy, Christine P. Wernle May 2017

The War Against Teachers: How The Discourse Of A Nation At Risk Set The Agenda For Contemporary New Mexico Education Policy, Christine P. Wernle

Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs

A Nation at Risk (ANAR) represented a paradigm shift in national education policy and public education discourse. This Critical Discourse Analysis utilizing the theoretical framework of Fairclough and Wodak (1997) found five major recurring themes between ANAR, national and state discourse, and NMTEACH (as referenced in the Final Report and Recommendations of the New Mexico Effective Teaching Task Force, 2011): 1) The Establishment of Pedagogic Authority; 2) The Common-Senseness of Education; 3) Anti-Teacher Rhetoric and the Artificial Support of Teachers; 4) Deracialisation of Educational Policy and Color-Blind Ideology; and 5) The Movement from Symbolic to Physical Violence. This study has …


Humanature Relations In Oman: Connections, Disconnections And Globalization, Maryam A. Alhinai May 2017

Humanature Relations In Oman: Connections, Disconnections And Globalization, Maryam A. Alhinai

Communication ETDs

In this dissertation, I explore agricultural practices as a window into ecocultural communication. Using agricultural practices of villagers in Village G, Oman, as a case study, I explore the ways in which villagers and government officials conceptualize humanature relations and the forces that enhance and/or impede these relations. My specific goals for this study were: (1) to build an interpretive understanding of ecocultural orientations of villagers and officials in Oman and how they conceptualize their humanature relations; (2) to critically examine ideologies and uncover structural forces that enable/constrain humanature relations; and (3) to co-create community engagement work that honors the …
