Many streams in West Tennessee, USA, have been heavily modified for agriculture or flood prevention purposes, which can result in altered stream microbial community dynamics. There is little research comparing biological and physicochemical dynamics between disturbed and natural streams, especially in West Tennessee. There is a need to understand how restoration efforts may impact microbial communities and thus ecosystem processing. Here, we investigate the community and assembly dynamics of microbial communities (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) in a degraded stream slated for restoration by 1) comparing this disturbed site to an undisturbed control stream, 2) examining seasonal variation of biofilms and riparian …

Works Of Michael Kahle; Expanding The Viola's Role Within The Classical Music Canon, Andrew Scott Mcguire
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
This project reexamines the role of the viola within the classical canon, arguing for its repositioning as a melodic and collaborative instrument rather than a purely supportive inner voice. Analytical and experiential findings demonstrate that the viola’s capacity to modify articulation, timbre, and projection enables it to mediate between contrasting instrumental families such as bowed strings, winds, and percussion. Grounded in performance-based research, this study investigates the viola’s function in non-traditional chamber ensembles, with particular repertoire development through collaboration with composer Michael Kahle, whose works for mixed ensembles—including flute, vibraphone, oboe, piano, and wind ensemble—feature the viola as a primary …

The global demand for renewable energy sources necessitates exploring sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Coffee husks, a significant agricultural waste product, represent a potential feedstock for biofuel production. This study investigated the comparative efficacy of steam distillation and Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction (UAE), using ethanol as a solvent to extract crude extract from Coffea canephora husks. A comparative experiment was conducted using 200g of Coffea canephora husks for each extraction method replicated three times and the yields were measured in mL. An independent sample t-test was used to compare the mean yields between the two methods. UAE yielded significantly more crude extract …
