Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
In recent years, several real-time Energy Visualization (EV) systems have emerged in the market with specific applications for large industrial and commercial facilities and residential buildings. However, light commercial businesses have been neglected with only a few attempts for EV solutions. The purpose of this study was to develop and test a system that could provide a cost effective and flexible EV solution for light commercial businesses. The system consisted of monitoring hardware and three energy visualization dashboards. Testing and validation of the system was conducted using a focused group of participants consisting of energy managers, engineers, and other typical …
Proteasomal Atpases Hard At Work: The Inner Workings Of A Protein Destruction Machine., Aaron M. Snoberger
Proteasomal Atpases Hard At Work: The Inner Workings Of A Protein Destruction Machine., Aaron M. Snoberger
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Across all domains of life, the proteasome is responsible for the majority of targeted protein degradation in the cell. Often, the proteasome is thought of as the molecular “garbageman” of the cell. While it is true that the proteasome degrades and eliminates misfolded proteins, the proteasome is also capable of degrading fully folded, functional proteins whose presence is no longer required (e.g. during embryonic development, cell cycle changes, etc.). Despite its crucial role in virtually every cellular process, our understanding of how the proteasome operates from a mechanistic perspective is still highly limited. In order to prevent unregulated degradation the …

Automotive Crisis: Volkswagen's Emissions Scandal & Response Strategies., Kelsey Plute
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The purpose of this study is to explore the use of crisis communication strategies (i.e. Coomb’s Situational Crisis Communication Theory and Bradford & Garrett’s Communicative Response Model) by examining Volkswagen’s key messages in U.S. commercial ad campaigns, individual vehicle commercials, and print ads before, during and after the emissions scandal. The content analysis also identified these specific crisis response strategies in the company’s 2015 through 2018 annual reports, press releases and letters to the company shareholders.
Antibacterial Activity Of Current Endodontic Repair Materials Against Enterococcus Faecalis., Michael A. Tran
Antibacterial Activity Of Current Endodontic Repair Materials Against Enterococcus Faecalis., Michael A. Tran
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Introduction: Root canal perforations caused by pathologic or iatrogenic means have been shown to cause serious complications leading to overall tooth loss. Bacterial infection of the affected site results in failure of the root canal as well as an inflammatory response leading to the destruction of supporting tissues. Although a multitude of endodontic repair materials have been tested over the past several decades, recent introduction of bioceramic materials have shown favorable outcomes to repairs. Bioceramics not only exhibit excellent biocompatibility, but also may possess antibacterial properties due to their strong alkaline pH. The aim of this in vitro study was …
Regulator Of G Protein Signaling-21 (Rgs21) In Peripheral Taste Physiology., Adam Bryant Schroer
Regulator Of G Protein Signaling-21 (Rgs21) In Peripheral Taste Physiology., Adam Bryant Schroer
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The gustatory system subjects ingested food to ‘quality control’ that prevents consumption of harmful compounds while also regulating nutrient intake. A better understanding of the physiological regulation of taste will enhance our ability to facilitate the appropriate consumption of nutrients and improve overall health. Bitter, sweet, and umami tastes are detected by a family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that associate with heterotrimeric G proteins and initiate intracellular signaling cascades after activation by tastant binding. ‘Regulators of G protein Signaling’ (RGS proteins) act as Ga-directed GTPase-accelerating proteins (GAPs) and thereby accelerate inactivation of GPCR-mediated signaling. Rgs21 is selectively expressed in …
The Use Of Genetic Tools To Assist In White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus Virginianus) Management In West Virginia, Darren M. Wood
The Use Of Genetic Tools To Assist In White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus Virginianus) Management In West Virginia, Darren M. Wood
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Although nearly extinct historically, the current population of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in West Virginia serves as a plentiful resource, however; currently there are two uncertainties to the socio-economic benefits of white-tailed deer in West Virginia: poaching and chronic wasting disease (CWD). While infection with the disease invariably results in a 100% fatality rate, previous studies have indicated that nucleotide polymorphisms in the 285th and 286th position of the prion precursor gene (PRNP) have been associated with the delay of clinical disease symptoms. To determine the association with CWD positive individuals in a CWDaffected population in West Virginia and determine …
Songbird Response To Forest Disturbance Due To Unconventional Shale Gas Development In The Marcellus-Utica Region: A Multi-Scale Analysis., Laura S. Farwell
Songbird Response To Forest Disturbance Due To Unconventional Shale Gas Development In The Marcellus-Utica Region: A Multi-Scale Analysis., Laura S. Farwell
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
In this study, I evaluated impacts of unconventional shale gas development, or the combined use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (i.e., fracking), on forest land cover and breeding songbirds in the Marcellus-Utica shale region. Since 2005, extraction of natural gas from the Marcellus-Utica shale has increased exponentially in the central Appalachians, an area of high conservation value for global biodiversity. Although there has been an increase in research on the effects of shale gas development in the region, the industry is still relatively new in the eastern U.S. and much is still unknown about biological and environmental impacts. In …
Communicated Sex Roles And Gender Identity Gaps., Janelle Vickers
Communicated Sex Roles And Gender Identity Gaps., Janelle Vickers
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Using Communication Theory of Identity (CTI) and the Bem Sex Role Index (BSRI), this study addresses the potential impact of societally-created, gendered expectations on the satisfaction of emerging adults. Two hundred twenty-nine undergraduates at a large mid-Atlantic university participated in the study by completing an online survey assessing gender, identity, and a relationship with a close other of their choosing. Results replicate previous research using CTI, which suggests that identity gaps relating to gender are dissatisfying. Specifically, gaps at the personal-enacted, personal-relational, and the newly-created personal-personal levels were negatively related to participant satisfaction, and personal-relational gaps were negatively correlated with …
Supporting Secondary Mathematics Teacher Candidates In Enacting Responsive Teaching Across Contexts., Stephanie Jones
Supporting Secondary Mathematics Teacher Candidates In Enacting Responsive Teaching Across Contexts., Stephanie Jones
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Although the work of teaching is often considered universally straightforward, professional classroom teaching requires more than a teacher’s ability to complete a task; making students’ ideas central to classroom discussions is crucial to student learning. The ability to engage students in classroom discussions focused on student ideas is not innate; it must be developed. Thus, it is important for teacher candidates (TCs) to learn to focus class discussions on student ideas in the university setting, before becoming classroom teachers. This dissertation investigates the ways in which secondary mathematics TCs developed skill in responsive teaching—teaching in which teachers adapt their instruction …

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The purpose of this Grounded Theory study was to understand parents of children with autism’s perceptions of early intervention involvement, satisfaction, transition into and out of EI, and goals for their children’s development. Twenty parents participated in initial interviews and 13 parents participated in follow-up interviews. Data were analyzed and a theory was generated to describe parents’ experiences. Parents described their experiences and goals for their children in three stages: before, during, and after EI. In each of these stages, social and language/communication were a primary focus of parents’ goals for their children’s development. Prior to EI, parents expressed a …
