    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

  • Silencing the Agrobacterium tumefaciens oncogenes

    Creator:
    Pitrak, Jennifer
    Abstract:
    Crown gall disease is an agricultural problem caused by the soil-borne bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens. A. tumefaciens oncogenes cause transformed plant cells to overproduce the hormones, auxin and cytokinin. High hormone levels cause unorganized plant cell growth resulting in a gall. Control of crown gall disease is difficult because after plant...

  • Protein-protein interactions in the bacteriophage T4 dNTP synthetase complex

    Creator:
    Shen, Rongkun
    Abstract:
    The enzymes of dNTP synthesis in T4 infection associate to form a multienzyme complex, the T4 dNTP synthetase complex, facilitating the flow of metabolites en route to dNTPs, and their subsequent flow into DNA. Study of protein-protein interactions helps one to understand how the enzymes in the complex are organized...

  • Management of powder-post beetles, Dinoderus minutus F. in freshly cut bamboo

    Creator:
    Garcia, Carlos Manalo
    Abstract:
    The goal of this project was to develop an integrated pest management strategy for the control of a powder-post beetle (Dinoderus minutus F.). This species causes serious damage in Philippine bamboo. Developmental threshold and thermal constants were examined and natural enemies and ftmgi associated with beetles were investigated. Finally, the...
