Commercial production practices for major fruits and vegetables.

Students will explore the use of flowers in life's events such as weddings, funerals, birthdays and various celebrations. Advanced floral techniques and styles will be taught and executed. The significance of flowers used in events of different cultures will be examined.

Broad introduction into wine, brewing, and distillation science. Information includes viticulture (growing grapes for wine), wine making (production), wine flavor chemistry, commodities for fermentation, brewing science (beer making to distribution) and distilling. This class is not based on consumption, but rather the combination of science and management strategies needed to produce quality products. A structured vocabulary is associated with production, marketing and distribution of wine, brewing and distilled products.

A comprehensive introduction to bio-medical imaging systems used today, including xray imaging and computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound imaging (UI), and diffuse optical tomography (DOT). The course will review the fundamental mathematics underlying each imaging modality, the hardware needed to implement each system, and the image reconstruction and analysis. The class may involve homework, projects, and exams.

This course is taught concurrently with BME685 Biofluid Mechanics. This course provides the students with a review of basic fluid mechanics principles and a direct, practical application of these principles to biomedical and clinical problems associated with the human circulatory system.

Students will learn design and analysis issues associated with well-known national health surveys, including reliability and validity of measurements, instrument validation, sampling designs, weighing of responses, and multiple imputations. Students will learn how to use statistical software to analyze data from complex survey designs. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, two hours per week.

This course concerns statistical techniques for and practical issues associated with the exploration of large public health data sets, the development of models from such data sets, and the effective communication of one's findings.

This class is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in the commercial grape and wine industry. Topics to be discussed include: history of grape production, basic grapevine physiology and anatomy, vineyard design and establishment, important pathogens of grapevines, and economics of grape production. While primarily online, this course requires two practical examinations at the University of Kentucky Horticulture Research Farm. Exam proctoring fees will be approximately $60.

The course will emphasize the application of communicative, critical thinking, digital, and collaborative skillsets in the development of students' careers. It will address career opportunities, identifying and selecting personally appropriate career paths, and internship/job search activities.

This introductory course in mathematical modeling will teach students how to construct simple and elegant models of biological and physiological processes -- for instance the absorption and elimination of drugs in the human body or the kinetics of tumour growth in tissue -- and to analyze or predict the dynamics of these events by solving the models.
