Contribution of wild foods to diet, food security, and cultural values amidst climate change
(2019-11)Wild foods are recognized to contribute to diet and food security through enhancing the availability of local, diverse, and nonmarket food sources. We investigated the contribution of wild foods to diet, food security, and ... -
Antimicrobial activity of naturally occurring phenols and derivatives against biofilm and planktonic bacteria
(2019-10)Biofilm-forming bacteria present formidable challenges across diverse settings, and there is a need for new antimicrobial agents that are both environmentally acceptable and relatively potent against microorganisms in the ... -
Nisin penetration and efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus biofilms under continuous-flow conditions
(2019-07)Biofilms may enhance the tolerance of bacterial pathogens to disinfectants, biocides and other stressors by restricting the penetration of antimicrobials into the matrix-enclosed cell aggregates, which contributes to the ... -
Janthinobacterium CG23_2: comparative genome analysis reveals enhanced environmental sensing and transcriptional regulation for adaptation to life in an Antarctic supraglacial stream
(2019-10)As many bacteria detected in Antarctic environments are neither true psychrophiles nor endemic species, their proliferation in spite of environmental extremes gives rise to genome adaptations. Janthinobacterium sp. CG23_2 ... -
DropSOAC: Stabilizing Microfluidic Drops for Time-Lapse Quantification of Single-Cell Bacterial Physiology
(2019-09)The physiological heterogeneity of cells within a microbial population imparts resilience to stresses such as antimicrobial treatments and nutrient limitation. This resilience is partially due to a subpopulation of cells ... -
Science communication and the advantages of the contextual model in documentaries
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2020)Documentaries can be an effective method for informing the public on agricultural trends and policies. Incorporating the contextual model of science communication into these films is one way to improve public awareness and ... -
Understanding the present and past climate-fire-vegetation dynamics of southern South America (40 - 45°S)
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2020)The forest-steppe boundary that runs north-to-south along the eastern Andes is particularly dynamic over millennial time scales. Yet the relative role of long-term climate change and fire is poorly understood. In this ... -
Ecosystem engineering at the streambed: how net-spinning caddisflies influence substrate flow dynamics
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2020)The streambed is an ecotone between surface waters and underlying hyporheic systems. Identifying the controls on advective flow through this ecotone is critical to understanding the movement of energy and matter in streams. ... -
Biotic and physical responses to biomimicry structures in a Rocky Mountain incised stream
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2020)An increase in stream degradation resulting from land use change has motivated an increase in restoration efforts across the globe. Post-restoration monitoring is still lacking, however, and does not always incorporate ... -
An evaluation tool to measure pregnancy outcomes and quality improvement interventions at Northern Cheyenne Service Unit
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Nursing, 2020)Quality Improvement projects are not always evaluated for their effectiveness after they are implemented. This professional project was to address this shortcoming by developing an evaluation strategy on the Healthy Mother ... -
Role of elementary school leaders in special education decisions
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2020)This study was designed to gain an understanding of tasks elementary building leaders are personally involved with special education building tasks and identify building leaders who self-identify as highly engaged in special ... -
Implementation of an evidence-based policy and educational program on caring for neonates withdrawing from opioids: a quality improvement project
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Nursing, 2020)The opioid use among pregnant women has increased, which has led to a rise in the rate of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). Infants with NAS are delivered at rural and urban locations throughout the country and require ... -
Beginning band instrument selection preferences and performance scores over time
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2019)This quantitative study examines the process of guiding students in beginning band instrument selection at Monforton Middle School, in Bozeman, MT. Data from 46 students was collected to identify if correlations exist ... -
Aluminate spinels for use as catalyst enhancement of solid oxide fuel cells
(Montana State University - Bozeman, Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, 2019)The growing necessity to find clean, efficient power sources has led to the advancement of technology in various fields of renewable energy. The field of electrochemical energy conversion, better known has Hydrogen Fuel ... -
Redox homeostasis and stress in mouse livers lacking the NADPH-dependent disulfide reductase systems
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2019)This thesis includes two reviews that cover the background of cellular disulfide reduction, from its earliest form in hydrothermal vents and its evolution to the current, multifaceted systems that maintain cellular redox ... -
The internal vertical transfer phenomenon: an exploration of the lived experiences and perceptions of internal transfer students from an embedded two-year institution
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2019)Existing literature focuses on external transfer students, transitioning from community colleges to a new and separate four-year college and understanding the transfer process and transfer student success. The purpose of ... -
Chemotherapy education: standardizing education and improving knowledge retention through multimedia platform
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Nursing, 2019)Patients with a new diagnosis of cancer undergoing chemotherapy treatment receive an overwhelming amount of information at the start of their journey. At a northcentral Montana healthcare agency, it was observed that ... -
Effects of grazing management on sharp-tailed grouse ecology in mixed-grass prairies
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2019)Many grassland species co-evolved with large herbivores and require habitats along the entire structural gradient created by grazing. Widespread declines of grassland birds, however, have prompted concerns about rangeland ... -
Influence of thermal regime on the life histories and production of Rocky Mountain aquatic insects
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2019)Life history traits of aquatic insect taxa such as metabolism, terminal body size, and fecundity vary along natural thermal gradients. Body size, in particular, is expected to respond to temperature and may have important ... -
Agricultural literacy in Montana preservice elementary educators
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2019)A major disconnect in a connected world has occurred, creating a knowledge deficiency in agriculture and its global issues. The purpose of this study was to determine Montana State University preservice elementary educators' ...
