Characterization of mitochondrial alterations during Sindbis virus infection and analysis of metabolic effectors as potential novel antiviral compounds
Alphaviruses infect millions of people and animals each year, causing a broad range of disease manifestations including life-threatening encephalitis or mild asymptomatic infections. With no effective or specific treatments, ... -
Bacterial co-infection in the Mojave Desert tortoise (Copherus agassizii) and its effect on upper respiratory tract disease
Some species of Pasteurella are known to cause disease in vertebrates, often within the respiratory system, and in association with Mycoplasma. While Mycoplasma agassizii is a known etiologic agent of upper respiratory ... -
Effects of rhizosphere bacteria (Azospirillum Brasilense, Pseudomonas flurorescens and Pseudomanas on carbamazepine uptake from reclaimed water in corn
With societies growing, reliance on pharmaceutical compounds to treat human conditions; coupled with the emerging demands on alternative water sources, such as reclaimed wastewater for use in agriculture, public lands and ... -
SINV induces oxidative stress in baby hamster kidney host cells
Alphaviruses belong to the Togaviridae family who has a species of virus known as the Sindbis virus. Sindbis virus shares characteristics with other alphaviruses that are currently causing worldwide infection and disease ... -
Prevalence of West Nile Virus antibodies in blood samples from song birds collected from the Fountain Creek Region of Colorado
West Nile Virus (WNV) is a positive strand RNA virus (Flaviviridae) that is transmitted by mosquitoes (Culex species). The virus is normally maintained and amplified in avian reservoir hosts, but infected mosquitoes also ... -
Isolation of fungal cellulase gene transcript from Penicillium spinulosum
Cellulose and cellulosic materials constitute over 85% of polysaccharides in landfills. Cellulose is also the most abundant organic polymer on earth. Cellulose digestion yields simple sugars that can be used to produce ... -
Atmospheric mercury monitoring: investigating various plant species and tissues to determine the fate of mercury
Atmospheric concentrations are the primary contributor to the mercuric content found within above ground tissues in plants. The ultimate fate of mercury, where it resides within the plant once accumulated, is not completely ... -
Increasing the efficiency of ethanol production from Enterobacter aerogenes and crude glycerol
With global energy consumption consistently on the rise, there is a need to match supply to demand using alternative energy sources. Current energy sources rely heavily on fossil fuels; however, their emissions have been ... -
Efficient management approaches to high elevation trout fisheries: a case study of Bison Reservoir
In 2015, the Gold Camp Fishing Club recruited Colorado State University – Pueblo to improve the fishing experience at Bison Reservoir and increase existing membership. While the goal of increasing their membership is ... -
Cannabidiol modulates hippocampal dependent learning and alters the accompanying syntaptic plasticity in the ventral hippocampus
Cannabidiol (CBD) is thought to have therapeutic potential for treating psychiatric conditions that affect cognitive aspects of learning and memory, including anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Studies have ... -
Development of a new quantitative PCR methodology to detect exotic mollusk invasions in freshwater
As humans become ever more mobile and expand their range to all corners of the globe, the likelihood of intentional or unintentional spreading of non-native species drastically increases. These newly introduced species ... -
Fecal matter as a novel, noninvasive sample for monitoring exposure of freshwater aquatic mammals to anthropogenic organic contaminants
The purpose of this work is to develop and validate a noninvasive method for analyzing exposure of aquatic mammals to anthropogenic organic contaminants (AOCs). This pilot study further demonstrates the effectiveness of ... -
Yet another introductory number theory textbook (Cryptology Emphasis Version)
This is a first draft of a free (as in speech, not as in beer) (although it is free as in beer as well) undergraduate number theory textbook. It was used for Math 319 at Colorado State University – Pueblo in the spring ... -
Bioaccumulation of Carbamazepine in hornworms by herbivory of tomato plants grown in soil spiked with Carbamazepine
There is an increasing trend in agriculture to use biosolids as a means of replenishing nutrients to crop fields. Biosolids are treated sewage sludge obtained from waste water treatment plants and have been reported to ... -
Isolation of cellulase enzymes from Penicillium spinulosum
Cellulases are enzymes produced by select microorganisms and fungi that possess the ability to degrade cellulose, a particularly stable biopolymer found in plant cell walls. These enzymes are important to the organisms ... -
Comparison of extraction methods on the quantification of cannabinoids in hemp
Senate bill 241 classifies industrial hemp as having no more than 0.3% Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This project focuses on a comparison of extraction methods on the quantity of reported cannabinoids in industrial hemp. ... -
Explaining variation in songbird blood mercury using trophic level, foraging behavior, migratory behavior, and phylogeny
Increasingly, contaminants such as lead, mercury, and PCBs, make their way into water, soils, and the atmosphere where they impact animals and pose challenges for wildlife conservation. Environmental contaminants affect ... -
Recommendations for the successful captive breeding of North American river otters (Lontra canadensis)
The North American river otter (NARO) (Lontra canadensis) is a semi-aquatic mammal found in the wild throughout North America, and captive at many institutions throughout the world. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums' ... -
Monitoring atmospheric mercury using deciduous leaves
Atmospheric mercury can be a significant source of mercury to water and land areas relatively uncontaminated by the heavy metal. In this study, mercury concentrations were determined in air at various temperatures from ...
