Assessing crop yield and management yield zones using satellite imagery at the field scale

Rathore, Jitender

Soybeans and corn are key crops in the United States, with many farms producing both. Predicting yield and delineating yield zones are crucial for nutrient management, guiding decisions to optimize production and increase yield. Accurate yield predictions are challenging due to variability in topography, soils, and man...

Companion dog nutrition epidemiology

O'Brien, Janice Susan

Dr. Jan Sargeant once said, "the difference between statisticians and epidemiologists is that statisticians are concerned with random error, while epidemiologists are concerned with systematic error." The purpose of this thesis is to identify common causes of systematic error in canine nutrition research, especially st...

Retail Food as a Primary Driver for the Transmission of Antibiotic-Resistant Escherichia coli in Food-Water-Human Systems

Yi, Saehah

Antibiotic resistance (AR) dissemination is shaped by interconnected food, water, human-associated, and environmental systems that influence the movement, persistence, and redistribution of resistant bacteria and mobile genetic elements. This dissertation examined how multidrug-resistant (MDR) and potentially pathogeni...

Differential expression of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter in hippocampal neurons attunes mitochondrial calcium handling and bioenergetics

Cawley, Mikel Leann

Mitochondria are precisely positioned throughout neuronal axons and dendrites to meet unique energy demands across functionally distinct compartments. Dendritic mitochondria can be molecularly, structurally, and functionally distinct depending on the neuron type, supporting the diversity of synaptic functions and conne...

Uncovering Conservation Agriculture: A Content Analysis, Systematic Review, And Arts-Based Inquiry into Gender and Sustainable Farming in Sub-Saharan Africa

Spence, Jessica Rae

Everyone on Earth has two things in common: we all share this Earth, and we all must eat. To feed the globe, farmers need to produce food for more than just themselves. At the same time, some farming practices can hurt the earth and contribute to climate change. That climate change more directly impacts developing coun...

Multiphysical design optimization of electrical machines using topological derivatives

Krenn, Nepomuk

Topologieoptimierung ist neben maschinellem Lernen das aufstrebende Thema des vergangenen Jahrzehnts. Die jüngsten Entwicklungen in Fertigungstechniken ermöglichen den Bau von unkonventionellen Maschinendesigns mit besserer Performance. Im Gegensatz zu parametrischer Optimierung, bei der Längen, Breiten, Orientierungen...

The quiet politics of pension financialization: the governance of occupational pension schemes in Austria

Mayer, Thomas

Over recent decades, pension privatization has emerged as a prominent reform strategy as governments across Europe have sought to address the fiscal pressures of demographic ageing. Alongside privatization, pension financialization has increased: capital-funded occupational pension schemes have grown in scale, turning...

Deciphering the biocontrol mechanisms of Lysobacter capsici AZ78 against plant pathogenic oomycetes using omics-based approaches

Dinesh Kothari, Amulya Jain

Plants are susceptible to numerous biotic and abiotic factors that negatively affect their performance in the field and ultimately reduce crop yield. Among the biotic factors, oomycetes are responsible for several devastating plant diseases that lead to substantial agricultural losses worldwide. Oomycetes are a group o...

Didattica del FLE in prospettiva di genere. La metodologia JGLAL - Joint Gender-Language Learning

CACIOPPO, Sara Manuela

Beyond Humanitarian Architecture and Urbanism: A response to forced displacement in Tigray, Ethiopia

JOTE, SAMUEL BEKELE

War and conflict are among the most significant man-made disasters affecting Africa, causing widespread destruction of the built environment and the forced displacement of millions. In response, various humanitarian actors play pivotal roles in supporting communities living under precarious conditions, alongside the ef...
