Woody Encroachment Mechanisms Of A Symbiotic N-Fixing Shrub: Ecophysiology, Facilitation, And Resource Use Efficiency, Jaclyn Vick
Woody Encroachment Mechanisms Of A Symbiotic N-Fixing Shrub: Ecophysiology, Facilitation, And Resource Use Efficiency, Jaclyn Vick
Theses and Dissertations
Causes and consequences of woody encroachment into grass dominated systems have been widely studied, however functional mechanisms which promote encroachment are largely unknown. Many expansive woody species are shrubs with rhizobial or actinorhizal N-fixing symbiotic associations. Morella cerifera L. (Myricaceae) is an actinorhizal N-fixing shrub which rapidly expands into grasslands on the barrier islands off the coast of Virginia, USA. The objective of this research was to determine physiological drivers of woody encroachment resulting in increased woody cover of M. cerifera on Southeastern, US barrier islands. Variations in physiology and resource use efficiencies (RUE) of M. cerifera and co-occurring shrubs …
Neurogenetic Studies On The Role Of Diap1 In Neuronal Programmed Cell Death In Drosophila, Faith V. Creekmore
Neurogenetic Studies On The Role Of Diap1 In Neuronal Programmed Cell Death In Drosophila, Faith V. Creekmore
Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee
The ventral Corazonin (vCrz) neurons provide a model system to study neuronal programmed cell death (PCD) in Drosophila, as they undergo caspase-dependent PCD during early metamorphosis between 1 and 7 hours after puparium formation (APF). DIAP1 (Drosophila inhibitor of apoptosis) is a key survival factor, preventing accidental cell death at the wrong stage. In response to death signals, caspase activation resulting from DIAP1 degradation is a primary cause of the PCD in many tissues. However, transgenic over-expression of the wild type diap1 gene in vCrz neurons failed to block PCD completely. This previous result suggested its role as …

Putting Their Eggs In India’S Basket: What Vertical Integration, Church’S Chicken, And Globalization Mean To Increasing Chicken Consumption In India, Scott E. Basford
Putting Their Eggs In India’S Basket: What Vertical Integration, Church’S Chicken, And Globalization Mean To Increasing Chicken Consumption In India, Scott E. Basford
Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee
India has the second largest population in the world and a rapidly growing economy, yet it lags far behind the world average in chicken meat consumption. Nonetheless, rates are increasing briskly and are expected to double within five years. Understanding the factors that contribute to this rise can provide broader insight into political, economic and social developments in Indian society. This paper reviews current and projected levels of chicken consumption across India through an investigation of current literatures which assert that a cultural dietary aversion to red meat, rising incomes, increased urbanization, lower consumer cost, and, most importantly, vertically integrated …

The Evolution And Diversity Of Dna Transposons In The Genome Of The Lizard Anolis Carolinensis, Peter A. Novick, Jeremy D. Smith, Mark Floumanhaft, David A. Ray, Stéphane Boissinot
The Evolution And Diversity Of Dna Transposons In The Genome Of The Lizard Anolis Carolinensis, Peter A. Novick, Jeremy D. Smith, Mark Floumanhaft, David A. Ray, Stéphane Boissinot
Publications and Research
DNA transposons have considerably affected the size and structure of eukaryotic genomes and have been an important source of evolutionary novelties. In vertebrates, DNA transposons are discontinuously distributed due to the frequent extinction and recolonization of these genomes by active elements. We performed a detailed analysis of the DNA transposons in the genome of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, the first non-avian reptile to have its genome sequenced. Elements belonging to six of the previously recognized superfamilies of elements (hAT, Tc1/Mariner, Helitron, PIF/Harbinger, Polinton/Maverick, and Chapaev) were identified. However, only four (hAT, Tc1/Mariner, Helitron, and Chapaev) of these superfamilies have successfully …

The Portable Art Gallery: Facilitating Student Autonomy And Ownership Through Exhibiting Artwork, Jethro D. Gillespie
Theses and Dissertations
In an attempt to help a class of high school AP Studio Art students find a more authentic sense of autonomy and ownership with their own art projects, the author has constructed a portable art gallery space designated for the exhibition of student artwork. Through a theoretical framework of post-structuralism, as well as a hybrid methodological approach, including tenets of both action research and grounded theory, he was able to explore how de-centralizing traditional, pedagogical notions of power in the classroom and utilizing contemporary art education practices affected AP Studio Art students' experience in the art classroom. By placing an …
Healthcare Acquired Infection Risk And Toothbrush Contamination In The Icu., Michelle Frazelle
Healthcare Acquired Infection Risk And Toothbrush Contamination In The Icu., Michelle Frazelle
Theses and Dissertations
Healthcare acquired infections (HAIs) are a complex and multi-factorial problem associated with high morbidity, mortality, and cost. Toothbrushes (TBs) may be at risk for contamination with potential pathogenic microorganisms (PPMs) from the patient care environment or autoinnoculation from the patient. We focused on three PPMs: multiply resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin resistant Enterococcus (VRE), and Acinetobacter. Specific aims were to (1) describe environmental factors associated with TB contamination in the ICU; (2) describe the relationship between TB contamination and oral colonization in critically ill adults.

Many non-native plants in the US have become problematic invaders of native and managed ecosystems, but a new generation of invasive species may be at our doorstep. Here, we review trends in the horticultural trade and invasion patterns of previously introduced species and show that novel species introductions from emerging horticultural trade partners are likely to rapidly increase invasion risk. At the same time, climate change and water restrictions are increasing demand for new types of species adapted to warm and dry environments. This confluence of forces could expose the US to a range of new invasive species, including many …

Spatial, Ontogenetic, And Sexual Effects On The Diet Of A Teiid Lizard In Arid South America, J Van Leeuwen, Alessandro Catenazzi, M Holmgren
Publications
Most lizard species feed on small arthropods, and although some are omnivorous, only a few species are strict herbivores. We studied the diet of Dicrodon guttulatum, a teiid lizard endemic to the arid coastal deserts and dry forests of northern Peru. Herbivory by this lizard has been identified as a potential limiting factor in the regeneration of plant communities in these dry ecosystems. We collected gastric and fecal samples of adult males, adult females, and juveniles of D. guttulatum in different plant communities. Based on the ontogenetic shift from insectivory to herbivory observed in other herbivorous lizards, we hypothesized …
The Economics Of Partial Artemia Replacement Using Two Commercially Available Feeds In The Diets Of Litopenaeus Vannamei From Z3/M1 – Pl10, Monique A. Giguere
The Economics Of Partial Artemia Replacement Using Two Commercially Available Feeds In The Diets Of Litopenaeus Vannamei From Z3/M1 – Pl10, Monique A. Giguere
Open Access Theses
The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to identify commercially available feeds that could serve as suitable replacements for newly hatched Artemia in the diets of L. vannamei from Z3/M1 to PL10 without significantly affecting survival, final length and weight, and quality of the larvae and 2) to identify an ideal substitution rate between live Artemia and a replacement feed that maximizes feed and labor costs savings, survival, and PL quality. In Experiment 1, two commercially available Artemia replacement feeds, Zeigler EZ Artemia and Bernaqua Vitellus, were administered according to manufacturer’s guidelines in order to identify which feed served …
Bevacizumab Effect On Topotecan Pharmacokinetics In A Murine Orthotopic Rhabdomyosarcoma Xenograft Model, Zaifang Huang
Bevacizumab Effect On Topotecan Pharmacokinetics In A Murine Orthotopic Rhabdomyosarcoma Xenograft Model, Zaifang Huang
Theses and Dissertations (ETD)
Increasing evidence suggests that inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) can transiently normalize tumor vasculature, thereby improving delivery of systemic chemotherapy. Bevacizumab (BEV), an anti-VEGF antibody, has been shown to transiently normalize tumor vasculature by increasing tumor vessel maturity, decreasing tumor vessel permeability, and increasing tumor oxygenation in an Rh30 orthotopic rhabdomyosarcoma xenograft model. However, the effects of BEV on the pharmacokinetics of TPT and the antitumor activity of TPT have not been evaluated. This study aimed to investigate the effect of BEV on TPT systemic and tumoral pharmacokinetics and to determine how these changes affect the efficacy of …

An Action Research Inquiry Into The Relationship Among Aerobic Activities, Memory, And Stress With Students Identified As Gifted, Denise Marie Ford
Dissertations
Students identified as gifted come from varying socio-economic strata and nationalities with a range of talents and temperaments comprising a diverse community. They may experience stress for a variety of reasons. Although a certain amount of stress can enhance the learning process, too much stress can impede learning, especially memory. Strategies have been offered for relieving stress, yet the benefits of physical activities as stress reducers for the gifted have frequently been overlooked. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among aerobic activity, stress, and memory ability in students in an elementary school gifted program. An exceptional …
