Spiroacetals In The Colonization Behaviour Of The Coffee Berry Borer: A 'Push-Pull' System, Teresiah Nyambura Njihia, Juliana Jaramillo, Lucy Murungi, Dickson Mwenda, Benedict Orindi, Hans Michael Poehling, Baldwyn Torto

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Coffee berries are known to release several volatile organic compounds, among which is the spiroacetal, conophthorin, an attractant for the coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei. Elucidating the effects of other spiroacetals released by coffee berries is critical to understanding their chemo-ecological roles in the host discrimination and colonization process of the coffee berry borer, and also for their potential use in the management of this pest. Here, we show that the coffee berry spiroacetals frontalin and 1,6-dioxaspiro [4.5] decane (referred thereafter as brocain), are also used as semiochemicals by the coffee berry borer for host colonization. Bioassays and chemical analyses …

The Use Of Visual Metaphors In Print Advertisements, Lisa M. Janos

Theses

This study examined advertisements in which metaphorical comparisons were made between cosmetic/beauty products and food. The purpose was to identify what rhetorical themes emerged among the advertisements and to determine if the visuals could provide sufficient content for a marketing message. Twelve images from four companies were chosen. An analysis was performed on each through the application of visual semiotics. Findings indicated that a visual metaphor approach can deliver involved rhetorical marketing messages to the viewer. The theme of indulgence was clear among the ads and the comparison of cosmetics to food suggested that the product should become part of …

"Your Information Station": A Case Study Of Rural Radio In The 21st Century, William Jacob Amadeus Pinnock

Dissertations and Theses

The study examined how the introduction of high-speed internet into a rural community affected audience members' use of their local radio station. A qualitative case study was guided by uses and gratifications and niche theory. The author conducted interviews with KMMR FM audience members in Malta, Montana, to investigate how the introduction of high-speed internet impacted listener habits. Twenty participants who either listened to or produced content for KMMR FM were interviewed. The author performed a thematic analysis of different uses for the radio guided by typologies created by Rubin (1983), Palmgreen and Rayburn (1979), and Katz, Haas, and Gurevitch …

The History Of Space Debris, Loretta Hall

Space Traffic Management Conference

This paper examines what space debris consists of and where it came from. In 1958, astronomer Clyde Tombaugh published the results of his research into the existence of natural debris near the Earth, concluding that no such debris existed. During the ensuing fifty-five years, man-made debris has been accumulating to the point that it threatens launches, active satellites, and the International Space Station. NASA reported that as of 2013, more than 21,000 pieces the size of a softball or larger were being tracked, as were about 500,000 pieces at least the size of a marble and “many millions” of pieces …

An Integrated Approach To Orbital Debris Research And Management, Marshall H. Kaplan

Space Traffic Management Conference

A viable space traffic management program faces a great barrier caused by the ever-increasing number and variety of orbiting objects ranging in size from a few microns to several meters. Although several international agreements to limit the growth rate of orbital debris are in place, the risk of damage and destruction to active satellites is continually rising. The urgency of this situation was highlighted by the 2007 Chinese ASAT test and the collision of Iridium and Cosmos satellites in 2009. Although many debris removal techniques have been posited none have been implemented. Unless a space debris reduction program is undertaken …

How Do Suburban Coyote Attacks Affect Residents’ Perceptions? Insights From A New York Case Study, William F. Siemer, Daniel J. Decker, James E. Shanahan, Heather A. Wieczorek Hudenko

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Understanding the human dimensions of human-coyote conflicts in metropolitan areas has taken on greater importance as coyotes (Canis latrans) have established themselves as the top predator in many urban ecosystems across North America. Though uncommon, coyote attacks on humans do occur in metropolitan areas and often receive widespread media coverage. Little research has been done to clarify how media coverage of these uncommon events may influence urban residents’ attitudes toward coyotes. In 2010, two children in Westchester County, New York, were injured in coyote attacks. In fall 2010 and winter 2011, the authors replicated a 2006 telephone survey …

Keynote - Mark Bontrager - Necessary Conditions And Infrastructure For A Successful Multi-User Spaceport, Ryan Kobrick, Patrick Mccarthy, Percy Luney, Mark Bontrager, Steve Szabo, Dale Ketcham

Space Traffic Management Conference

Space Florida was created to strengthen Florida’s position as the global leader in aerospace research, investment, exploration and commerce. As Florida’s spaceport authority and aerospace development organization, Space Florida is committed to attracting and expanding the next generation of space industry businesses. The future of successful spaceports will be dependent on a balance and co-location of commercial, civil, and defense activities in aviation and space flight operations. Operations may include: general aviation; horizontal rocket powered liftoff (suborbital) and glided landings; traditional vertical rocket launches and newly evolving rocket stage return; aviation systems with unique commodities for air launch payloads; unmanned …

The Structural Basis Of Gβ5-Rgs7 Interaction With The Muscarinic M3 Receptor And Implications For Its Role In Functional Pathway Selectivity, Darla Karpinsky-Semper

Open Access Dissertations

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (Ach) is arguably the most important in the CNS. Two classes of receptors are activated by Ach: nicotinic (ionotropic) and muscarinic (metabotropic). Muscarinic receptor pharmacology is well-defined, but still lacks receptor sub-type specificity seen in other GPCR families like adrenergic receptors. We have found that Gβ5-RGS7, a unique G-protein obligate heterodimer complex, selectively attenuates Ca2+ signaling through the muscarinic M3 receptor (M3R). The G protein beta subunit Gβ5 uniquely forms heterodimers with R7 family regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins (RGS6, RGS7, RGS9, and RGS11) instead of Gγ. While the Gβ5-RGS7 complex attenuates Ca2+ signaling mediated …

Impact Of Gender On The Decision To Participate In A Clinical Trial: A Cross-Sectional Study, Lucas Lobato, Jeffrey M. Bethony, Fernanda Bicalho Pereira, Shannon Lee Grahek, David J. Diemert, Maria Flavia Gazzinelli

Microbiology, Immunology, and Tropical Medicine Faculty Publications

Background

In order for Informed Consent to be ethical and valid each clinical trial participant must be able to make a voluntary decision to participate, free from pressure or coercion. Nonetheless, many factors may influence the decision reached, and such influences may be different for male and female volunteers. Being aware of these differences may help researches develop better processes for obtaining consent that safeguard the right of autonomy for all participants. The goal of this study was to evaluate potential gender-based differences in the factors influencing clinical trial participation.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Northeast region …

The Stories We Tell: A Qualitative Inquiry To Multiracial Family Storytelling, Mariko O. Thomas

Dissertations and Theses

A narrative inheritance is comprised of the stories told by family members that are received by a younger generation and used to help construct identity. According to the communication theory of identity, identity is formed through communication. Additionally, the storied resource perspective looks at narratives as a major method of creating and maintaining identity. This study looks at the kinds of narrative inheritance concerning race that people in multiracial families receive and possible ways it affects racial identity formation. Findings from 12 semi-structured interviews indicate that narratives of racism, cultural pride, and hardship are prevalent in multiracial families. Additionally, findings …
