Harnessing Heterogeneity in Human Gut Microbiome Data

Creator:: Tataru, Christine
Abstract:: The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....

Bioactive Microbial Natural Products from Unique Indonesian Black Water Ecosystems

Creator:: Sheng, Yan
Abstract:: The discovery of new antibiotics reached its peak during the golden era of antibiotics in the mid 20th century and continued to thrive until the 1980s. However, after more than 50 years of fruitful exploration and exploitation of microbial natural products the discovery rate of new antibiotics has dropped drastically...

Organization, Objectives, and Procedural Outcomes: Trade-Offs Associated with Managerial Choices in Oaxacan Community Forest Enterprises

Creator:: Engbring, Gretchen M.
Abstract:: This paper examines four community forest enterprises (CFEs) in Oaxaca, Mexico, where CFEs have been held up as a positive example of community forestry that simultaneously addresses both conservation and development goals. CFEs are community-owned businesses that manage their forests to provide income and other benefits and may be considered...

Networked Multi-agent Modeling of Connected Vehicles in Mixed Traffic Environment: A Decentralized Consensus Approach

Creator:: Wahid, Merih
Abstract:: Transportation systems are facing safety and operational challenges with a cost of billions of dollars annually in lost production time and wasted fuel. Infrastructure expansion, previously held as a panacea to most transportation challenges has lost its appeal due to financial, land-use and environmental constraints. Interest is surging in intelligent...

Characterization of the Mechanistic Basis for the Cytotoxic Activity of Select Macrocyclic Natural Products against Glioblastoma Cells

Creator:: Serrill, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: Natural products from both terrestrial and marine sources represent a significant source of novel drug leads, and have previously been developed into clinically-approved agents for the treatment of various human diseases. This work represents the biological characterization of the mechanistic basis for activity of several natural product structures in models...

Redesigning the Structure and Access Paths of Databases for Effective and Efficient Query Processing

Creator:: Ghadakchi, Vahid
Abstract:: Many database users are not familiar with formal query languages, the concept of schema, or the exact content of their database. Thus, it is challenging for these users to formulate their information needs over semi-structured and structured databases. To address this problem, researchers have proposed usable query interfaces over which...

Fluid-structure interaction analysis with the particle finite element method

Creator:: Zhu, Minjie
Abstract:: To facilitate the evaluation and design of structures subjected to fluid loading, a study of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using the particle finite element method (PFEM) is presented to approximate the responses and sensitivities of structures which interact with fluid. A wide range of structural types are permissible by making no...
