Processing and functional diversity of plant microRNA

Creator:

Cuperus, Josh

Abstract:

RNA interference pathways can involve amplification of secondary siRNAs by RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. In plants, RDR6-dependent secondary siRNAs, including transacting siRNAs (tasiRNAs), arise from transcripts targeted by some microRNAs (miRNAs). In the case of TAS3 tasiRNA formation, ARGONAUTE7 (AGO7)-miR390 complexes interact with primary transcripts at two sites, resulting in recruitment...

Dissertation
Accelerating the convergence of the k-eigenvalue problem using a coarse mesh finite differencing scheme in cylindrical geometry

Creator:

Hummel, Andrew J.

Abstract:

Reactor modeling is largely limited by the computational time required to perform accurate full core calculations. There are many different methods and techniques employed in different reactor simulation codes, but properly modeling all of the physics that takes place in the system requires extensive computational effort. The Coarse Mesh Finite...

Atomic layer deposition of nanolaminate Al₂O₃-Ta₂O₅ and ZnO-SnO₂ films

Creator:

Smith, Sean Weston

Abstract:

Thin films are an enabling technology for a wide range of applications, from microprocessors to diffusion barriers. Nanolaminate thin films combine two (or more) materials in a layered structure to achieve performance that neither film could provide on its own. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a chemical vapor deposition technique...
