An Exploration of the Structure, Issue Framing and Priorities of Virginia's Food Policy Groups to Collaborate on a Healthy, Resilient and Sustainable Food System
Food policy groups (FPG) have emerged in the United States (U.S.) to create healthy, resilient and sustainable food systems. There is a lack of research about FPG in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This M.S. thesis describes a mixed-methods study that investigated the structure, issue framing, …

Automation in CS1 with the Factoring Problem Generator
… emerging area, the Factoring Problem Generator (FPG) is presented in this work. The FPG creates and grades problems in C in which students search for and extract blocks of repeated code into individual functions, learning to utilize parameters and return values as they do so. The problems created …

Poverty and child well-being in foster care: Exploring family stress and adolescent behavior in Washington State
… live below the federal poverty guideline (FPG). 84% of families have insufficient income. While no significant differences were observed in child wellbeing among families by income, a trend level difference was observed between foster youth feeling alienated from their caregiver in families …

Evaluation of Turbulence Models for Unsteady Separation
… gradients are mild, however, the maximum APG-FPG phases of the flow are predicted successfully. The cyclical alternation of the pressure gradients from FPG-APG to APG-FPG with intermediate phases of ZPG are shown to contribute to the success of the turbulence models. The performance of the …

A Novel NGS Assay to Detect Any KMT2A Fusion Transcript at Low Levels
… with more than 80 possible fusion partner genes (FPG) identified. With the advent of effective targeted therapies for <em>KMT2Ar</em> leukemia such as menin inhibitors, there is an unmet need for sensitive assays to detect these various fusions. Standard next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods …

Synthetic approaches to the understanding of DNA nucleobase methylation
… of formamidopyrimidine DNA N- glycosylase (Fpg) and human alkyladenine DNA Glycosylase (hAAG) are also studied. ^{7Me9C}dG is stable in the presence of both enzymes. In contrast, ^{7Me7C}dG is cleaved by Fpg, and possibly by hAAG but in an extremely slow rate. This work demonstrates that …
