Identification and cultivation of methyllycaconitine degraders from wild ruminants to protect against larkspur poisoning in range cattle
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2021)Tall larkspur (Delphinium spp.) in the western United States present a serious toxicity danger to rangeland cattle. Consumption of Methyllycaconitine (MLA), the toxic alkaloid in larkspur plants, can cause annual losses ... -
Implementation of new literacy practices based on the science of reading: a relational leadership approach
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2021)The purpose of this qualitative case study was to understand how literacy leaders describe their roles and responsibilities in relationship with each other as they lead the implementation of a new literacy curriculum based ... -
Instructional feedback and learning: understanding the perspective of pre-service teachers for personal learning and future teaching
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2021)Instructional feedback has been demonstrated to be a critical element in student learning and achievement. While important for learning, instructional feedback is challenging to provide and challenging to receive. Research ... -
Controlling the area expansion of a backwards centrifugal fan blade passage using the principles of a diffuser and computational fluid dynamics
(Montana State University - Bozeman, Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, 2021)Centrifugal Fans are widespread in today's modern built environment. While a few variations of these fans exist, backward centrifugal fans are an efficient economical option capable of producing the pressure and airflow ... -
Design and fabrication of membrane-based pressure sensor for capillary pressure measurement in micromodels
(Montana State University - Bozeman, Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, 2021)Pressure is a fundamental quantity in virtually all problems in fluid dynamics from macro-scale to micro/nano scale flows. Although technologies are well developed for its measurement at the macro-scale, pressure quantification ... -
Influence of lithogenic energy on subglacial microbial community composition
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2021)Chemosynthesis, the generation of biomass using chemical energy, supported life on early Earth and continues to sustain contemporary light-independent ecosystems. The mechanisms of nutrient release from the geosphere are ... -
The influence of heifer post-weaning residual feed intake on subsequent production, reproduction, grazing behavior, supplement intake behavior, dry matter intake and milk production of Black Angus beef cattle
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2021)Residual feed intake (RFI) is a recognized measure of biological efficiency in beef cattle. However, RFI determination is expensive, time consuming and not well studied in beef cattle fed forage-based diets, nor how ... -
Retrospective analysis of a declining trumpeter swan (Cygnus buccinator) population in Yellowstone National Park
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2021)By 1933, the number of trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator) in the continental United States was reduced to roughly 70 individuals that nested and wintered in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) and the surrounding Greater ... -
Localization of Metabolites of Human Kidney Tissue with Infrared Laser-Based Selected Reaction Monitoring Mass Spectrometry Imaging and Silver-109 Nanoparticle-Based Surface Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging
(American Chemical Society, 2020-03)Infrared (IR) laser ablation-remote-electrospray ionization (LARESI) platform coupled to a tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS) operated in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) or multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) modes was ... -
Interspecies interactions can enhance Pseudomonas aeruginosa tolerance to surfaces functionalized with silver nanoparticles
(Elsevier BV, 2020-04)Development of anti-fouling surfaces is a major challenge in materials research. Microorganisms growing as biofilms have enhanced tolerance to antimicrobial strategies including antibiotics and antiseptics complicating the ... -
Potential biofilm control strategies for extended spaceflight missions
(Elsevier BV, 2020-12)Biofilms, surface-adherent microbial communities, are associated with microbial fouling and corrosion in terrestrial water-distribution systems. Biofilms are also present in human spaceflight, particularly in the Water ... -
Key rules of life and the fading cryosphere: Impacts in alpine lakes and streams
(Wiley, 2020-10)Alpine regions are changing rapidly due to loss of snow and ice in response to ongoing climate change. While studies have documented ecological responses in alpine lakes and streams to these changes, our ability to predict ... -
Auxotrophic interactions: a stabilizing attribute of aquatic microbial communities?
(Oxford University Press, 2020-11)Auxotrophy, or an organism’s requirement for an exogenous source of an organic molecule, is widespread throughout species and ecosystems. Auxotrophy can result in obligate interactions between organisms, influencing ecosystem ... -
The zone model: A conceptual model for understanding the microenvironment of chronic wound infection
(Wiley, 2020-06)In 2008, two articles in Wound Repair and Regeneration changed the clinical perspective on chronic wounds. They stated that chronic wounds that do not heal contain bacterial biofilms and that these biofilms may be one of ... -
Innovating carbon-capture biotechnologies through ecosystem-inspired solutions
(Elsevier BV, 2021-01)Rising atmospheric carbon concentrations affect global health, the economy, and overall quality of life. We are fast approaching climate tipping points that must be addressed, not only by reducing emissions but also through ... -
Pseudomonas aeruginosa reverse diauxie is a multidimensional, optimized, resource utilization strategy
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-01)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a globally-distributed bacterium often found in medical infections. The opportunistic pathogen uses a different, carbon catabolite repression (CCR) strategy than many, model microorganisms. It ... -
Effect of temperature, nitrate concentration, pH and bicarbonate addition on biomass and lipid accumulation in the sporulating green alga PW95
(Elsevier BV, 2020-12)The mixed effects of temperature (20 °C, 25 °C and 30 °C), nitrate concentration (0.5 mM and 2.0 mM), pH buffer, and bicarbonate addition (trigger) on biomass growth and lipid accumulation were investigated in the environmental ... -
The Role of Retardation, Attachment and Detachment Processes during Microbial Coal-Bed Methane Production after Organic Amendment
(MDPI, 2020-10)Microbially enhanced coal-bed methane could allow for a more sustainable method of harvesting methane from un-mineable coaldbeds. The model presented here is based on a previously validated batch model; however, this model ... -
