Encapsulating microbes in hydrogels may provide a protective, tunable environment from inhibiting compounds; however, current approaches to formulate successful encapsulated systems rely on trial and error rather than engineering approaches because fundamental information on mass-transfer coefficients is lacking. To address this knowledge gap, hydronium ion mass-transfer rates through two commonly used hydrogel materials, poly(vinyl alcohol) and alginic acid, under two solidification methods (chemical and cryogenic) were measured.</description></item><item><title>Assessment of Porcine Rotavirus-associated virome variations in pigs with enteric disease</title><link>https://millironx.com/academia/rotavirus-virome/</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://millironx.com/academia/rotavirus-virome/</guid><description>Enteric disease is the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in young mammals including pigs. Viral species involved in porcine enteric disease complex (PEDC) include rotaviruses, coronaviruses, picornaviruses, astroviruses and pestiviruses among others. The virome of three groups of swine samples submitted to the Kansas State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for routine testing were assessed, namely, a Rotavirus A positive (RVA) group, a Rotavirus co-infection (RV) group and a Rotavirus Negative (RV Neg) group.</description></item><item><title>Polyoxometalate Incorporation and Effects on Proton Transport in Hydrogel Polymers</title><link>https://millironx.com/academia/thesis/</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://millironx.com/academia/thesis/</guid><description>Polyoxometalate clusters embedded into hydrogel biobeads may be able to solve the challenges posed by free proton generation during remediation of trichloroethylene by acting as buffers and reducing protons to hydrogen gas. In this thesis, the challenges posed by systems that contain both diffusion and reaction processes for protons are considered mathematically, and a computer simulation to was developed to prove the relationship between diaphragm cell lag period and reactive capabilities of membranes.</description></item><item><title>Metagenomic analysis of rumen populations in week-old calves as altered by maternal late gestational nutrition and mode of delivery</title><link>https://millironx.com/academia/metagenomics/</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://millironx.com/academia/metagenomics/</guid><description>Early colonization of the rumen microbiome is critical to host health and long term performance. Factors that influence early colonization include maternal factors such as gestational nutrition and mode of delivery. Therefore, we hypothesized that late gestational nutrition and mode of delivery would influence the calf rumen microbiome. Our objectives were to determine if nutrient restriction during late gestation alters the calf rumen microbiome and determine if ruminal microbiome
