High-Level Systematics And Phylogeny Of The Extant Scorpions (Scorpiones: Orthosterni), Michael E. Soleglad, Victor Fet Dec 2015

High-Level Systematics And Phylogeny Of The Extant Scorpions (Scorpiones: Orthosterni), Michael E. Soleglad, Victor Fet

Euscorpius

A number of authors (e. g. Birula, 1917a, 1917b; Mello-Leitão, 1945; Stockwell, 1989) addressed above-level systematics of extant scorpions, and accepted the grouping of scorpion families in several superfamilies. At the same time, Kjellesvig-Waering (1986) classified all extant scorpions under the same superfamily, Scorpionoidea. Sissom (1990) and Fet et al. (2000) did not list any superfamilies, considering the systematic situation above family (and often at the family level as well) unresolved. Most recently, Lourenço (2000a) listed six superfamilies, largely following the unpublished but important study of Stockwell (1989). The goal of this paper is to address scorpion systematics and phylogeny …


The Scorpion Sternum: Structure And Phylogeny (Scorpiones: Orthosterni), Michael E. Soleglad, Victor Fet Dec 2015

The Scorpion Sternum: Structure And Phylogeny (Scorpiones: Orthosterni), Michael E. Soleglad, Victor Fet

Euscorpius

The structure of the sternum of all major Recent scorpion groups is analyzed in detail. Based on this analysis, two fundamental sternum types are identified, described and illustrated, type 1 and type 2. These sternum types are distinguished by criteria based on external and internal structural features. The sternum types described herein are offered as a replacement for the various characterizations used throughout the last 140 years which emphasize only gross overall shape and proportions. Phylogenetic and taxonomic ramifications of these new sternal types are discussed. The Carboniferous fossil scorpion Palaeopisthacanthus schucherti Petrunkevitch is assigned to sternum type 1 …

Are Socioeconomic Status, School Environment, Body Mass Index, And Blood Pressure Related In An Ethnically Diverse Sample Of Adolescents? A Multilevel Approach, Erin N. Etzel Dec 2015

Are Socioeconomic Status, School Environment, Body Mass Index, And Blood Pressure Related In An Ethnically Diverse Sample Of Adolescents? A Multilevel Approach, Erin N. Etzel

Open Access Dissertations

This study investigated how individual-level health behaviors as well as school-level socioeconomic status (SES) and school climate impact adolescent health outcomes. Most of the research supporting an association between adolescent health and social contextual factors has been conducted at the neighborhood-level. However, schools are also influential contexts in adolescents’ lives and their consideration in studies of adolescent health outcomes is warranted. The present research expands upon the existing literature in the area of school contextual effects on health, as it addresses these issues in an ethnically diverse sample of 84,165 adolescents using multilevel techniques to properly account for the nested …

Efficient High-Order Methods For Solving Fractional Differential Equations Of Order Α ∈ (0, 1) Using Fast Convolution And Applications In Wave Propagation, Matthew F. Causley, Peter G. Petropoulus Dec 2015

Efficient High-Order Methods For Solving Fractional Differential Equations Of Order Α ∈ (0, 1) Using Fast Convolution And Applications In Wave Propagation, Matthew F. Causley, Peter G. Petropoulus

Mathematics Publications

In this work we develop a means to rapidly and accurately compute the Caputo fractional derivative of a function, using fast convolution. The key element to this approach is the compression of the fractional kernel into a sum of M decaying exponentials, where M is minimal. Specifically, after N time steps we find M= O (log N) leading to a scheme with O (N log N) complexity. We illustrate our method by solving the fractional differential equation representing the Kelvin-Voigt model of viscoelasticity, and the partial differential equations that model the propagation of electromagnetic pulses in the Cole-Cole model of …

Design And Testing Of Novel Anthrax Vaccines Utilizing A Tobacco Mosaic Virus Expression System, Ryan C. Mccomb Dec 2015

Design And Testing Of Novel Anthrax Vaccines Utilizing A Tobacco Mosaic Virus Expression System, Ryan C. Mccomb

KGI Theses and Dissertations

Anthrax is a potentially fatal disease caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. Infection and disease occur after spores gain entry into the body, germinate into vegetative bacteria, and produce toxin. Bacillus anthracis spores have been engineered as bioweapons and have been used repeatedly in warfare and terrorism to inflict casualties in military and civilian populations. Currently, only one vaccine has been approved for prevention of anthrax in the United States. This vaccine is an undefined product that is difficult to produce, requires a long vaccination schedule, and is reactogenic. Efforts to make an improved anthrax vaccine are being pursued. …
