Sarrah, Hassel ( 2009-03-31 )Fortification of snack foods is growing due to increasing consumer demand for healthier products. Total sales of snack foods in the U.S. grossed 26 billion dollars a year and corn based snacks accounted for 21.8% of total ... -
Assessing the Diversity of Pythium species and Fungicide Efficacy in Agronomic Production Fields in Ohio
Ellis, Margaret L. ( 2009-03-31 )The occurrence of seedling diseases in soybean fields in Ohio has increased over the past decade. There are at least 22 possible species of Pythium that are pathogenic to soybean. During the spring of 2008, field plots ... -
Assessing the monthly cycle of food abundance-shortage cycle in food insecure/overweight-obese women
Ye, Qian ( 2009-03-31 )Background: This study aims to assess a hypothesized monthly cycle of food abundance-shortage among food insecure/overweight-obese (FIS/Ow-Ob) women as a possible explanation to the paradoxical relationship between food ... -
Autodissemination of pathogens: A novel approach to controlling the Japanese beetle
Morris, Elizabeth E. ( 2008-03-31 )Since its discovery in the United States in 1916,Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica) has become the nemesis of agriculturists and home gardeners. Larvae in the soil feed on grass roots, damaging turf, and adults feed on ... -
Beef Consumption is Positively Correlated to Mid-Arm Muscle Area in Older Adults in Ohio
Asp, Michelle L. ( 2007-04-02 )Background: Older adults are at risk of developing sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass during aging. This condition can increase disability and decrease function, strength, and quality of life. Additionally, older adults ... -
Bioabatement to remove microbial inhibitors from Miscanthus giganteus hydrolysates for enhanced butanol fermentation
Agu, Chidozie Victor ( 2015-04-27 )The recalcitrant nature of cheap lignocellulose warrants pretreatment process to disrupt the lignin matrix and expose the carbohydrate fraction to enzymatic saccharification. Generation of lignocellulose-derived microbial ... -
