Phosphorus Fractionation And Distribution Across Delta Of Deer Creek Reservoir, Warren C. Casbeer Mar 2009

Phosphorus Fractionation And Distribution Across Delta Of Deer Creek Reservoir, Warren C. Casbeer

Theses and Dissertations

Eutrophication of reservoir systems, which causes deterioration of water quality through increased algal growth, is detrimental to our sustainable water supply and additionally impairs other beneficial reservoir uses. Limiting the amount of phosphorus (P) entering the system has been the key management tool for this problem, as P is the main limiting nutrient for plant and algal growth. These efforts have focused on controlling input of P from point sources, such as effluents from wastewater treatment plants, dairies, and industrial factories. Even in systems (such as reservoirs) with significantly reduced external P loading, however, there has been continued eutrophication and …

Huntington Disease (Chorea) In The Middle East, Euan M. Scrimgeour Mar 2009

Huntington Disease (Chorea) In The Middle East, Euan M. Scrimgeour

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal

Huntington disease (HD) has been reported in Arab families in several Middle East countries including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt and in non-Arab populations in other countries in the region. It is probably under-reported, and until now, has not been recorded in Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan or in Iraq. The Middle East has always been on the crossroads of trade and travel, and HD was probably introduced to some of these countries in previous times. The prevalence rate in Middle Eastern Arabs is estimated to vary from 3 to 4 per 100,000. Although the HD gene …

Finite Element Model Optimization Of The Falconsat-5 Structural Engineering Model, Cole C. Doupe Mar 2009

Finite Element Model Optimization Of The Falconsat-5 Structural Engineering Model, Cole C. Doupe

Theses and Dissertations

Space launch vehicles produce tremendously harsh environments for their payloads. One of the worst contributors to this harsh environment is vibration. Launch vehicle contractors require accurate dynamic models in order to perform coupled loads analyses with each payload to mitigate risks. Accurate predictions of the dynamic response of the payload are not achieved easily. The Finite Element (FE) method has proven to be the best approach in creating accurate dynamic models of complex structures. To improve the agreement between an FE model and the structure it represents, a common practice is to `tune' or adjust parameters of the FE model …

Parental Competencies Of Juvenile Probationers And Adherence To Curt Sanctions And Recidivism Rates, Amy Cook Mar 2009

Parental Competencies Of Juvenile Probationers And Adherence To Curt Sanctions And Recidivism Rates, Amy Cook

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this exploratory study was to further investigate the notion of parental competencies through the use of the Juvenile Offender Parent Questionnaire as previously developed by Rose and colleagues (2004). The parent questionnaire was administered to 88 parents of juvenile probationers placed on probation in a Virginia county. Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed an eight-factor solution: parental exasperation, parental resignation, mistrust of the juvenile justice system, shame over parenting efficacy, parental monitoring, fear of the child, parent perceptions of child’s exposure to violence, and anger towards child. Regression analyses indicate that parental exasperation and parental resignation were not significant …

Judging South Dakota Rangelands For Livestock And Wildlife Values, James R. Johnson, L. Michael Sterling Mar 2009

Judging South Dakota Rangelands For Livestock And Wildlife Values, James R. Johnson, L. Michael Sterling

SDSU Extension Circulars

Judging South Dakota Rangelands for Livestock and Wildlife Values is a major advance in the approach to contest judging of South Dakota rangelands. For 25 years beginning in the mid-1970s, range judges identified plants and determined range site, range condition, and management practices for a given set of goals (Johnson et al., EC 731, 1979). In the mid-1990s, the need for a more contemporary judging contest was clear. Oklahoma led the way by changing the National Range Judging Contest in 1994. A year later, South Dakota followed. Several years of field tests and multiple revisions resulted in the current manual.

Genetic Mapping Of Secretion And Functional Determinants Of The Vibrio Cholerae Tcpf Colonization Factor, Shelly J. Krebs, Thomas J. Kirn, Ronald K. Taylor Mar 2009

Genetic Mapping Of Secretion And Functional Determinants Of The Vibrio Cholerae Tcpf Colonization Factor, Shelly J. Krebs, Thomas J. Kirn, Ronald K. Taylor

Dartmouth Scholarship

Colonization of the human small intestine by Vibrio cholerae requires the type IV toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP). TcpF, which is encoded within the tcp operon, is secreted from the bacterial cell by the TCP apparatus and is also essential for colonization. Bacteria lacking tcpF are deficient in colonization, and anti-TcpF antibodies are protective in the infant mouse cholera model. In order to elucidate the regions of the protein that are required for secretion through the TCP apparatus and for its function in colonization, random mutagenesis of tcpF was performed. Analysis of these mutants suggests that multiple regions throughout the protein influence …

Public Environmental Rhetoric: The Rhetorical Fashioning Of Civic Responsibility, Maggie Ngar Dik Hong Mar 2009

Public Environmental Rhetoric: The Rhetorical Fashioning Of Civic Responsibility, Maggie Ngar Dik Hong

Theses and Dissertations

Environmental rhetoric has the capacity to render private citizens a concerned public. In doing so, it can prompt in individual practices of what, in classical rhetoric, was described as civic virtue and engage them in activities of responsible citizenship that work toward practical change. Within the recent tradition of environmental public discourse in the United States, Rachel Carson and Al Gore have each realized this capacity in their use of environmental rhetoric, by addressing, respectively, the issues of pesticide pollution and global warming in ways that galvanized citizens as an active public. This thesis examines the reasons behind this effectiveness. …

Hammering Square Pegs Into Round Holes: International Development And The Flawed Ontological Assumptions Of Modernity, Justin Micah Pack Mar 2009

Hammering Square Pegs Into Round Holes: International Development And The Flawed Ontological Assumptions Of Modernity, Justin Micah Pack

Theses and Dissertations

Despite the increase in awareness of the plight of the third world and NGOs attempting to deal with poverty, international development projects continue to be alarmingly hit and miss. The problematic effectiveness of international development has led to an intense theoretical debate seeking to examine what exactly leads some projects awry. These criticisms often focus on the fundamental assumptions that underlie international development projects and occasionally relate them to the epistemological and ontological assumptions of modernity. In this thesis, I use Heidegger and Nietzsche to deepen the criticism of the epistemological and ontological assumptions of modernity that in turn support …

Neuroadaptations In The Cellular And Postsynaptic Group 1 Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Mglur5 And Homer Proteins Following Extinction Of Cocaine Self-Administration, M. Behnam Ghasemzadeh, Preethi Vasudevan, Christopher Mueller, Chad Seubert, John R. Mantsch

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

This study examined the role of group1 metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR5 and associated postsynaptic scaffolding protein Homer1b/c in behavioral plasticity after three withdrawal treatments from cocaine self-administration. Rats self-administered cocaine or saline for 14 days followed by a withdrawal period during which rats underwent extinction training, remained in their home cages, or were placed in the self-administration chambers in the absence of extinction. Subsequently, the tissue level and distribution of proteins in the synaptosomal fraction associated with the postsynaptic density were examined. Cocaine self-administration followed by home cage exposure reduced the mGluR5 protein in nucleus accumbens (NA) shell and dorsolateral …

Uas Collision Avoidance Algorithm That Minimizes The Impact On Route Surveillance, Austin L. Smith Mar 2009

Uas Collision Avoidance Algorithm That Minimizes The Impact On Route Surveillance, Austin L. Smith

Theses and Dissertations

A collision avoidance algorithm is developed and implemented that is applicable to different types of unmanned aerial systems ranging from a single platform with the ability to perform all collision avoidance functions independently to multiple vehicles performing functions as a cooperative group with collision avoidance commands computed at a ground station. The collision avoidance system is exercised and tested using operational hardware and platforms and is demonstrated in representative missions similar to those planned for operational systems. The results presented are the first known flight tests of a global, three-dimensional, geometric collision avoidance system on an unmanned aircraft system. Novel …
