9 Gallafent, JessicaThe Temperature Sensitivity of Leaf Litter Breakdown in Streams and Rivers with Variable nutrient SupplyA significant fraction of terrestrial carbon is processed and stored in surface waters. Elevated global temperature and eutrophication are major changes that influence the processing of carbon in streams and rivers through the breakdown of organic matter. Independently, increases in temperature and ...2019
10 Wiese, ClaudiaDNA metabarcoding of trnL intron using the minion device to assess BEE foraging from PollenIn recent decades many bee species, including Apis mellifera (European honeybee), have experienced worldwide population declines. In this paper we tested a novel molecular approach to evaluate foraging of A. mellifera Specifically, we sequenced trnL (UAA) intron DNA barcodes from isolated pollen fro...2023
11 Tazehabadi, TaraBioinformatics to detect functional interactions important for the DNA repair enzyme mutyhDNA is the blueprint of all biological life as it provides the means necessary for sharing of genetic information. DNA is formed and stabilized by interactions between four unique bases, Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G), and Thymine (T) which come together in predetermined patterns to create a...2022
12 Tran, AmyInvestigating the strategic patterns in LBO fundsIn the mid-2000s, public-to-private transactions reappeared when the United States experienced a second leveraged buyout boom. Most sponsors are paid a management fee of 2% on the fund's capital and receive a carried interest of 20% of the profits realized by the fund. Two literature reviews serve a...Leveraged buyouts--United States--Finance2014-08

In the face of such rapid technological advancement that impacts the health of thousands each year and constitutes a multi-million-dollar industry, ethical analysis of the various shortcomings th...2019
14 Kirkegaard, MatthewTransboundary water conflict, cooperation, and regional integration: Mercosur and the La Plata BasinWater politics become diplomatic concerns when watersheds cross international borders. But how do these relationships between states change when the nature of these international borders themselves change through economic and political integration? The purpose of this study is to consider the relati...MERCOSUR (Organization); Water-supply - South America; Water-supply - Political aspects2016-05
15 Rose, BrookeImproving Mechanisms Between Interventional Community Partnerships to Better Promote Multidimensional HealthIn the past, access to health care was often considered one of the most critical determinants of health status. However, in recent years the degree to which health care is considered to have a direct impact on health status has shifted. Depending on the source, only 10-20% of an individual's overall...
