Towards Monosex Production Of A Marine Pelagic, Julian N. Fiorentino Oct 2018

Towards Monosex Production Of A Marine Pelagic, Julian N. Fiorentino

Open Access Theses

The current population growth trend and increases in seafood consumption rates necessitate increases in marine aquaculture production. In the search for the ideal marine species to fill this demand, Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) offers a suitable candidate for the seafood staples. This is the result of high commercial value, rapid growth rates and success of mass seed production. The primary cost driver in fish production is feed, and efforts to optimize feed conversion ratios therefore are constantly being made. Among these are methods to capture sex-specific growth improvements through monosex culture, which is relevant for cobia aquaculture because of …


Exploring The Role Of Nanoparticles In Enhancing Mechanical Properties Of Hydrogel Nanocomposites, Josergio Zaragoza, Scott Fukuoka, Marcus Kraus, James Thomin, Prashanth Asuri Oct 2018

Exploring The Role Of Nanoparticles In Enhancing Mechanical Properties Of Hydrogel Nanocomposites, Josergio Zaragoza, Scott Fukuoka, Marcus Kraus, James Thomin, Prashanth Asuri

Bioengineering

Over the past few decades, research studies have established that the mechanical properties of hydrogels can be largely impacted by the addition of nanoparticles. However, the exact mechanisms behind such enhancements are not yet fully understood. To further explore the role of nanoparticles on the enhanced mechanical properties of hydrogel nanocomposites, we used chemically crosslinked polyacrylamide hydrogels incorporating silica nanoparticles as the model system. Rheological measurements indicate that nanoparticle-mediated increases in hydrogel elastic modulus can exceed the maximum modulus that can be obtained through purely chemical crosslinking. Moreover, the data reveal that nanoparticle, monomer, and chemical crosslinker concentrations can all …


An Issue Worth Tackling: Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy In The National Football League, Lauren K. Hogan Oct 2018

An Issue Worth Tackling: Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy In The National Football League, Lauren K. Hogan

Biology: Student Scholarship & Creative Works

America has become a sports empire over the past century. As the movie Concussion put it, the National Football League has single-handedly taken over the day that used to belong to the church–but this comes at a price. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, is a life-altering disease associated with high impact and contact sports that has created a heated debate in our sports-driven society. A study published in 2017 discovered CTE in 177 of 202 former football players–or a staggering 87%. Why do the players continue to play in the NFL if their longevity and well-being are jeopardized? Why has …
