High Resolution Mesoscale Weather Data Improvement To Spatial Effects For Doserate Contour Plot Predictions, Christopher P. Jones Mar 2007

High Resolution Mesoscale Weather Data Improvement To Spatial Effects For Doserate Contour Plot Predictions, Christopher P. Jones

Theses and Dissertations

Reanalysis weather data is obtained for dates surrounding historical nuclear tests and processed through Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) software to produce a high-resolution weather forecast. Output from RAMS is visualized to check for validity and input into Hazard Prediction and Assessment Capability (HPAC) software and modeled predictions are compared to historical observation data. Simulations are conducted using constant high resolution weather and varying terrain resolution. The HPAC prediction is numerically compared to historical observation data. The result of this research culminated in the knowledge that early-time, low-altitude wind data was neglected by HPAC's incorporation of the Defense Land Fallout …

Hope For The Fatherless?: A Grounded Interpretive Approach, Anna Manja Larcher Mar 2007

Hope For The Fatherless?: A Grounded Interpretive Approach, Anna Manja Larcher

Theses and Dissertations

Psychology's literature regarding fatherlessness is not only grim, mainly pointing out the negative consequences of fatherlessness, but it also does not provide much specific information about fatherless individuals' experiences. A pilot study revealed that fatherless individuals do not always suffer from the loss of their father and that they also have the ability to overcome the negative consequences commonly associated with father loss. The research questions for this study presented themselves naturally after reviewing the literature and after considering the results of my pilot study, namely, “What do fatherless individuals actually experience in being fatherless, and what is the nature …

Africa And The Global Carbon Cycle, Christopher A. Williams, Niall P. Hanan, Jason C. Neff, Robert J. Scholes, Joseph A. Berry, A. Scott Denning, David F. Baker Mar 2007

Africa And The Global Carbon Cycle, Christopher A. Williams, Niall P. Hanan, Jason C. Neff, Robert J. Scholes, Joseph A. Berry, A. Scott Denning, David F. Baker

Geography

The African continent has a large and growing role in the global carbon cycle, with potentially important climate change implications. However, the sparse observation network in and around the African continent means that Africa is one of the weakest links in our understanding of the global carbon cycle. Here, we combine data from regional and global inventories as well as forward and inverse model analyses to appraise what is known about Africa's continental-scale carbon dynamics. With low fossil emissions and productivity that largely compensates respiration, land conversion is Africa's primary net carbon release, much of it through burning of forests. …

Plant Cells And Plants Expressing Chemeric Isoprenoid Synthases, Joseph Chappell, Kyoungwhan Back Mar 2007

Plant Cells And Plants Expressing Chemeric Isoprenoid Synthases, Joseph Chappell, Kyoungwhan Back

Plant and Soil Sciences Faculty Patents

The invention features plant cells and plants that include a nucleic acid molecule encoding a chimeric isoprenoid synthase polypeptide including an asymmetrically positioned homologous domain. The chimeric isoprenoid synthases of the invention catalyze the production of isoprenoid reaction products that are not produced when the asymmetrically positioned homologous domain is positioned at its naturally-occurring site in an isoprenoid synthase polypeptide.

Biology Faculty Research

As part of the Episodic Events Great Lakes Experiment, we sampled total suspended matter (TSM), light climate, nutrients, and plankton along cross-margin transects in southern Lake Michigan during February, March, and April 1998-2000 to capture conditions before, during, and after the occurrence of storm-driven recurrent coastal sediment plumes to define the anatomy of the resuspension events and get insights into their interactions with nutrients and plankton. Variability in timing and strength of winter storms among years led to different timing, intensity, and extent of plumes among years. TSM concentrations in the core of plumes varied between 15 and 30 mg …

Low Thermal Mass Fluorometer, Andrew Farmer, David P. Fries, Bill Flanery Mar 2007

Low Thermal Mass Fluorometer, Andrew Farmer, David P. Fries, Bill Flanery

USF Patents

The present invention provides core technologies necessary for a portable, low cost, thermal-regulating LED-based handheld fluorometer. The regulated fluorometer is based on a low thermal mass infrared heater, and an orthogonal geometry LED based filter fluorometer. Power is supplied through an external power supply and data is collected in real-time through standard serial interfaces of personal computers or personal digital assistants. Thermal regulation is automatically maintained using temperature sensor feedback control. Optical excitation relies on LED light source(s) and optical detection is through an adjustable integrating photodetector. Such a handheld system can allow applications requiring temperature sensitive photometric measurements for …

Transgenic Cyclin E Triggers Dysplasia And Multiple Pulmonary Adenocarcinomas, Yan Ma, Steven Fiering, Candice Black, Xi Liu, Ziqiang Yuan, Vincent A. Memoli, David J. Robbins, Heather A. Bentley, Gregory J. Tsongalis, Eugene Demidenko, Sarah J. Freemantle, Ethan Dmitrovsky Mar 2007

Transgenic Cyclin E Triggers Dysplasia And Multiple Pulmonary Adenocarcinomas, Yan Ma, Steven Fiering, Candice Black, Xi Liu, Ziqiang Yuan, Vincent A. Memoli, David J. Robbins, Heather A. Bentley, Gregory J. Tsongalis, Eugene Demidenko, Sarah J. Freemantle, Ethan Dmitrovsky

Dartmouth Scholarship

Cyclin E is a critical G(1)-S cell cycle regulator aberrantly expressed in bronchial premalignancy and lung cancer. Cyclin E expression negatively affects lung cancer prognosis. Its role in lung carcinogenesis was explored. Retroviral cyclin E transduction promoted pulmonary epithelial cell growth, and small interfering RNA targeting of cyclin E repressed this growth. Murine transgenic lines were engineered to mimic aberrant cyclin E expression in the lung. Wild-type and proteasome degradation-resistant human cyclin E transgenic lines were independently driven by the human surfactant C (SP-C) promoter. Chromosome instability (CIN), pulmonary dysplasia, sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway activation, adenocarcinomas, and metastases occurred. Notably, …

Characterizationn Of Polumer-Based Mems Pyroelectic Infrared Detector, Mark E. Allard Mar 2007

Characterizationn Of Polumer-Based Mems Pyroelectic Infrared Detector, Mark E. Allard

Theses and Dissertations

AFRL/MLPJE had developed a novel thermal sensing material termed protein-impregnated-polymer (PIP). Thus far, a proof-of-concept has been demonstrated using a macro-sized pixel (0.64 mm2) as a bolometric detector. In an effort to better characterize this novel thermal sensing material, experimental data was used to determine figures of merit (FOMs) comparative to off-the-shelf thermal detectors. Microelectromechanical (MEMS) pixels were designed and used as the support structure for an inkjet-deposited droplet of the PIP. During the material characterization, two observations were made: PIP is a pyroelectric material, and the polymer (polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)) without the protein was found to be …

The Role Of Prolactin In Ccl28 Regulation, Jennie Hyde Mar 2007

The Role Of Prolactin In Ccl28 Regulation, Jennie Hyde

Theses and Dissertations

Infants are born with naive immune systems, making them susceptible to a variety of infections. In order to protect the newborn infant it is important that mothers be able to pass protective IgA antibodies to their infants through breast milk. B cells that produce IgA enter the mammary tissue during lactation and secrete IgA into the milk. During pregnancy, the mammary tissue expresses high levels of chemokines, molecules that allow lymphocytes to selectively home to specific tissues. The chemokine CCL28 has been shown to be upregulated during both pregnancy and lactation, and is vital for the ability of IgA-producing B …
