CHARACTERIZING THE POTENTIAL FOR INSECTICIDE CROSS-RESISTANCE AMONG SELECTED POPULATIONS OF COLORADO POTATO BEETLE USING PHENOTYPIC AND DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION ANALYSIS
(2024-08-21)
Insect pest control through the use of insecticides is an important issue for food security, sustainable agricultural practices, and on-farm economics. The evolution of metabolic resistance is problematic, considering the ...
The Design and Development of Compact Toroid Injection System to Study Reconnection Dynamics in MST
(2024-08-23)
This thesis details the design and development of an experimental setup to investigate compact toroid (CT) dynamics in tokamak plasmas, specifically on the MST device. The research aims to better understand how a CT traverses ...
DEVELOPMENT OF A PREDICTIVE TOOL TO ASSESS STREAM TEMPERATURE IMPACTS OF RIPARIAN VEGETATION MANAGEMENT IN A DRIFTLESS AREA TROUT STREAM
(2024-08-21)
Rising water temperatures driven by climate change threaten culturally and economically important salmonid fisheries throughout the Upper Midwest. Unsuitable thermal regimes threaten the effectiveness of habitat restoration ...
DIRECT DOLOMITE PRECIPITATION: INVESTIGATION OF LACUSTRINE DOLOMITE AND MAGNESITE IN LAKE BEEAC, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA
(2024-08-23)
Lake Beeac is a playa lake located in the southeast province of Victoria, Australia that has been studied for the last 40 years due to the large amount of sedimentary dolomite, magnesite, and Mg-rich smectite present (De ...
QUANTIFYING LEACHABLE PHOSPHORUS FROM COMMON URBAN TREE SPECIES
(2024-08-23)
Urban runoff containing high amounts of nutrients like nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) has long been established as a driver of surface water eutrophication. In residential areas, a primary source of nutrients is derived ...
ISOLATION, QUANTIFICATION, AND TRANSFECTION OF FIBROBLASTS WITHIN DANIONIDAE MEMBERS
(2024-08-21)
Danionidae, a family of teleost fish, includes zebrafish (Danio rerio), which are a widely studied model organism. Amidst unprecedented extinction rates—1000 times higher than natural levels— preserving genetic diversity ...
MECHANISMS FOR DIGESTION IN TWO COMPETING FOREST CARNIVORES: FISHERS (PEKANIA PENNANTI) AND MARTENS (MARTES AMERICANA AND M. CAURINA) IN THE GREAT LAKES AND PACIFIC NORTHWEST
(2024-08-21)
Carnivores have evolved morphological and digestive traits to successfully exploit dietary items other than meat. However, observations of carnivores consuming fungi and insects in the wild have generally been dismissed ...

During Grandparents University, Sustainable Energy Solutions Major Theo Tranowski, age 13, interviews his grandma Janet Tranowski about how her relationship with energy has changed throughout her lifetime. Janet had a wood ...
THERMOMECHANICAL REPRESENTATION OF ADIABATIC SHEAR BANDING
(2024-08-23)
A finite element method with a weak embedded discontinuity is implemented with a global tracking strategy to track the evolution of adiabatic shear bands in metallic materials. The continuum model used is developed with a ...
AGRONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF CEREAL RYE COVER CROP IN WISCONSIN SOYBEAN SYSTEMS
(2024-08-23)
Weed management programs utilizing high-biomass cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop in Wisconsin soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) production systems are increasing in popularity. Much of this method’s success depends ...
