Probing The Consequences Of Irreversibly Trapping Iron In Bacterioferritin Using Chemical And Genetic Approaches--An Omics Study, Leo S. Fontenot Jr.

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Antibiotic resistant bacteria pose one of the most urgent threats to public health. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a multi-drug resistant bacterium for which new antibiotics are urgently needed. My research is focused on understanding and validating iron metabolism as a target for antibiotic development by analyzing the metabolic profiles of iron-starved P. aeruginosa cells caused by irreversibly trapping iron in bacterioferritin. Iron is an essential nutrient for bacteria; however, the reactivity of the Fe²⁺ ion and insolubility of the Fe³⁺ ion present significant challenges to bacterial cells. Iron storage proteins oxidize Fe²⁺ using O₂ and H_{2 …}

Productivity Of Wood Ducks, Black-Bellied Whistling-Ducks, And Hooded Mergansers Using Nest Boxes In Louisiana, Dylan L. Bakner

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Resident female wood ducks (Aix sponsa) in the southeastern United States are managed through nest box programs, with the goal of enhancing local hunting opportunities. Historically, hooded mergansers (Lophodytes cucullatus) were the only other cavity-nesting waterfowl species in the southeastern United States known to use these nest boxes. However, the recent northward range expansion of black-bellied whistling-ducks (Dendrocygna autumnalis) has extended into the range of wood ducks and mergansers. All three species are brood parasites, potentially using one another as hosts for their parasitic eggs and impacting their reproductive output. My research evaluated the …

Machine Learning-Based Tool To Predict The Retroreflectivity Of Pavement Markings Throughout The U.S., Ipshit I. Idris

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Retroreflectivity plays a crucial role in pavement markings as it enhances nighttime visibility for drivers. Yet, due to budget constraints, many U.S state agencies rarely monitor retroreflectivity of their markings, and instead, restripe markings based on visual inspection or fixed schedule. Addressing this, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) introduced a new final rule, effective September 6, 2022, that established a new minimum standard for pavement marking retroreflectivity. This rule requires state agencies to implement a method within four years for maintaining pavement marking retroreflectivity at or above minimum levels. The ultimate objective of this study was to assist state agencies comply …

Suicidal Ideation And Community Connectedness In Lgbtq+ Adults: Can Emotion Regulation And Mindfulness Skills Help?, Samantha V. Jacobson

Clinical Psychology Dissertations

Suicidal ideation disproportionally affects the LGBTQ+ community. Community connectedness and mindfulness can be protective against suicidal ideation, whereas emotion regulation difficulty is associated with increased suicidal ideation. Community connectedness, emotion regulation difficulty and mindfulness have demonstrated relationships to each other in the LGBTQ+ community and while they are each independently associated with suicidal ideation, their combined impact on suicidal ideation has not yet been examined. The present study examines moderating effects of emotion regulation difficulty and mindfulness on the relationship between community connectedness and suicidal ideation in LGBTQ+ adults. 141 LGBTQ+ adults completed self-report measures of suicidal ideation, community connectedness, …

Revealing Interface-Assisted Plastic Anisotropy Via In Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy Tension Of Lamellar Tial, Zhixiang Qi, Qi Zhu, Jian Wang, Yuede Cao, Fengrui Chen, Jiangwei Wang, Yang Chen, Gong Zheng, Guang Chen

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications

Assembling functional units into specific orientation organizations based on functional unit and organization (FUO) paradigm can maximize utilizing mechanical property anisotropy of lamellar-structured materials. However, the origin of their anisotropic deformation behaviors has not been clearly understood. Taking the fully lamellar γ-TiAl/ α₂-Ti₃Al dual-phase single crystal as an example, we decouple the interface functional units governed anisotropic plastic deformation through in situ transmission electron microscopy tensile testing and multiscale microstructural characterizations. The orientation organization-dependent slip continuity across the γ/α₂ interface and interface strength play a determinant role in plastic anisotropy beyond intrinsic dislocation activities within …

Design And Prototyping Of A 3dof Worm-Drive Robot Arm, Is Howard

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Many designs for robot arms exist. Here we present an affordable revolute arm, capable of executing simple pick-and-place tasks. The arm employs a double parallelogram structure, which ensures its endpoint angle in the plane of the upper arm remains fixed without the need for additional actuation. Its limbs are fabricated from circular tubes made from bonded carbon fiber, to ensure low moving mass while maintaining high rigidity. All custom structural elements of the arm are produced via 3D printing. We employ worm-drive DC motor actuation to ensure that stationary configurations are maintained without the necessity of continuous motor power. Our …

To better understand how and why sports are a part of education, this episode goes back to where they started. Although the culture of youth sports has certainly evolved, the purpose of interscholastic athletics really has not. Today, just like 100 years ago, educators value the role of sport in preparing kids for success in life. But the structures governing competition have always limited who can participate and how they are recognized. Many thanks to all the guests who contributed their thoughts.

Quality Control For Net Zero Energy Modular (Nzem) Homes And In-Factory Solar Plus Storage (Sps) System, Min Bahadur Pun Kayat

LSU Master's Theses

A Net Zero Energy Modular (NZEM) home provides an opportunity to achieve the quality and cost savings benefits of modular construction of zero energy homes. Compared to traditional code-built homes, the NZEM home has a better insulation system, leakage-proof envelope system, energy efficient lights and appliances, high-performance windows, and solar plus storage (SPS) system. The onsite construction industry is scrutinized for its poor productivity and quality standards compared to other sectors. In NZEM construction, the factory environment removes issues that can arise during onsite construction, including weather delays and material damage, leading to higher production costs.

Sustainable Machine Intelligence Journal

To better estimate the unknown parameters of the double-diode model, a new optimization technique based on the newly proposed spider wasp optimizer (SWO) is introduced in this study. The performance of SWO was further enhanced by integrating it with a local search strategy to propose a new improved variant called ISWO. This improved variant has a high ability to extensively exploit the solutions surrounding the best-so-far solution in an effort to speed up convergence and produce better results in fewer function evaluations. Using the RTC France solar cell and three PV modules (STM6-40/36, STP6-120/36, and Kyocera KC200GT), ISWO and SWO …

A Framework For Transparency In Precision Livestock Farming, Kevin C. Elliott, Ian Werkheiser

Philosophy Faculty Publications

Simple Summary

The emergence of precision livestock farming (PLF) raises important issues for many different social groups, including farmers, consumers, regulators, and the food industry. This paper explores how those who develop PLF systems can communicate more effectively with different groups about the technologies that they are creating. We suggest that developers reflect on four issues: (1) the different kinds of information that various groups might want to know; (2) the audiences that might care about these different kinds of information; (3) the major difficulties involved in providing the information; and (4) potential strategies for overcoming those difficulties.
