Initiation of coral/algal symbioses : the role of cell surface lectin/glycan interactions in recognition and specificity

Creator:

Wood-Charlson, Elisha M.

Abstract:

Mutualistic associations between cnidarians, such as corals, and photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae provide the trophic and structural foundation of coral reef ecosystems. In many cases, this intracellular mutualism is highly specific and must be established anew for each generation of host corals. The ability to maintain partner specificity across generations implies...

Dissertation
Assessment of fluorinated chemicals (FCs) on developmental toxicity in embryonic zebrafish

Creator:

Duong, Lisa

Abstract:

Fluorinated chemicals (FCs) have been used since the 1950s in many industrial and commercial applications because of their unique properties such as chemical inertness, resistance to heat and their ability to repel water and oils. Concerns regarding potential environmental or human health risk from FCs exposure have emerged due to...

Masters Thesis
Automated model parameter extraction for noise coupling analysis in silicon substrates

Creator:

Peterson, Brett

Abstract:

An automated method, requiring the fabrication of a small set of test structures, efficiently extracts the coefficients of Z-parameter based macromodels. The extraction approach has been validated for both heavily and lightly doped substrates and can be applied to a variety of technologies. After the parameters of a macromodel have...
