Overcoming the challenges of tamarix management with Diorhabda carinulata through the identification and application of semiochemicals
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2018)The northern tamarisk beetle, Diorhabda carinulata (Desbrochers), is an approved and established classical biological control agent for saltcedars (Tamarix spp.). Adequate control of Tamarix has not yet been achieved in ... -
The roles of Phospholipase C in oil biosynthesis in oilseeds
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2018)Research on the biosynthesis pathways of storage oil (triacylglycerol, or TAG) in plants has gained momentum for the last couple of decades. Despite significant achievements, a complete understanding of such pathways is ... -
Investigating arsenic-microbiome interactions in the gut using murine models
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2019)Drinking water contamination with arsenic is a wide-spread public health concern, potentially affecting over 140 million people across at least 40 different countries. Current understanding of biological and behavioral ... -
Characterization of metabolic changes in osteoarthritis using global metabolomic profiling
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2018)Osteoarthritis affects over 250 million individuals worldwide. It is a disease of the whole joint, exhibiting heterogenous pathology, and a multifactorial etiology consisting of obesity and joint trauma as important risk ... -
The role of ribosome hibernation factor and the stringent response in the survival of Pseudomonas aeruginosa during dormancy
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2019)Pseudomonas aeruginosa survives in a dormant state in low nutrient environments and is able to resuscitate when favorable conditions are available. In response to stressful environmental conditions including antibiotic ... -
Characterizing excited state dynamics and carrier transport in hybrid organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites via ultrafast microscopy
(Montana State University - Bozeman, The Graduate School, 2018)Lead tri-halide perovskites have recently emerged as cost-effective alternatives to silicon for use in photovoltaic devices. A large contributor to their reduced cost compared to silicon is the simple solution processed ... -
Multivalently presented carbohydrates can be used as drug delivery vehicles and to study protein carbohydrate interactions
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2018)Dendrimers in general excel as drug delivery vehicles since there are many different ways they can be assembled and different ways to tailor them to the system being studied. Glycodendrimers are generally nontoxic and can ... -
The identification, categorization, and evaluation of model-based behavioral decay in design patterns
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Engineering, 2019)Software quality assurance (QA) techniques seek to provide software developers and managers with the methods and tools necessary to monitor their software product to encourage fast, on-time, and bug-free releases for their ... -
Green museums waking up the world: indigenous and mainstream approaches to exploring sustainability
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2018)Mainstream and Indigenous Museums are ideally situated, both geographically and culturally, to educate the public about complex twenty-first century environmental issues. The most effective approaches to understanding, ... -
A systemic pedestrian safety planning tool for rural and small urban areas
(Montana State University - Bozeman, Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, 2018)Rural areas bear a disproportionate number of pedestrian fatalities: the fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled is 2.5 times higher in rural areas than in urban areas. To measurably improve pedestrian safety, ... -
Combining spectral and polarimetric methods to classify cloud thermodynamic phase
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Engineering, 2019)Cloud thermodynamic phase--whether a cloud is composed of spherical water droplets or polyhedral ice crystals--is an important parameter for optical communication with space-based instruments, remote sensing of the atmosphere, ... -
Locating the transgender other: alterity in 21st century America
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2018)Discussions directed toward amending past stigmatizations associated with transgender identity have expanded in the 21st-century. Contemporary debates concerning the sociocultural pariah of mid-20th-century America have ... -
The development of superresolution spectroscopic techniques and characterization of microscale exciton diffusion in organic semiconducting polymers
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2018)Disordered semiconducting materials offer cost effective, solution processable alternatives to highly crystalline semiconducting materials for utilization in a variety of optoelectronic devices. However, characterization ... -
Assessing and Improving the Experience of Underrepresented Populations: A Participatory Design Approach
(2019-08)Students of all backgrounds come to college with goals, expectations, and needs drawn from unique life experiences. How can we ensure that distinctive and diverse populations find their own successes at our institutions? ... -
A study of bio-mineralization for the application of reducing leakage potential of geologically stored CO 2
(Montana State University - Bozeman, Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, 2019)A primary concern of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is leakage of the stored carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the subsurface back to the surface. To ensure long term storage of the CO 2, mitigation strategies are being developed ... -
Extraction of droplet genealogies from high-fidelity atomization simulations
(Montana State University - Bozeman, Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, 2019)Many research groups are performing high-fidelity simulations of atomizing jets that are taking advantage of the continually increasing computational resources and advances in numerical methods. These high-fidelity simulations ... -
Homotopy groups of contact 3-manifolds
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2019)A contact 3-manifold (M, xi) is an three-dimensional manifold endowed with a completely nonintegrable distribution. In studying such a space, standard homotopy groups, which are defined using continuous/smooth maps, are ... -
Prevalence and production impacts of subclinical mastitis in extensively managed ewes
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2019)Mastitis results from a bacterial infection of the mammary gland and is a devastating disease to all sheep producers from both an economic and animal welfare perspective. Clinically infected ewes display visually apparent ...
