  • Beyond the paired-catchment approach : isotope tracing to illuminate stocks, flows, transit time, and scaling

    Creator:
    Hale, V. Cody
    Abstract:
    This dissertation integrates a process-based hydrological investigation with an ongoing paired-catchment study to better understand how forest harvest impacts catchment function at multiple scales. We do this by addressing fundamental questions related to the stocks, flows and transit times of water. Isotope tracers are used within a top-down catchment intercomparison...

  • Identification and analysis of vaccinia virus acylproteins

    Creator:
    Hansen, Scott G.
    Abstract:
    Vaccinia virus (VV) encodes at least six proteins that are modified by the addition of a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid through an amide linkage and at least eight proteins that are modified post-translationally by the addition of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid through linkage to cysteine residues. These post-translational modifications...

  • Fatty acylation of Vaccinia virus proteins : dual myristylation and palmitylation of the A-type inclusion protein

    Creator:
    Martin, Karen H.
    Abstract:
    The attachment of myristic acid to the N-terminal glycine residue of many eukaryotic and viral proteins is often essential for the acquisition of the protein's biological activity. Vaccinia virus (VV), the prototype member of the Poxviridae, expresses several myristylated proteins during the course of infection. Only one of these proteins,...

  • Studies on DNA precursor metabolism in vaccinia virus-infected mamalian cells

    Creator:
    Spiro, Craig
    Abstract:
    Vaccinia virus-infected animal cells have been used to study the interactions between the replication of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and the biosynthesis of its nucleotide precursors. Some antimetabolites that inhibit DNA replication have as their targets enzymes of nucleotide biosynthesis. Furthermore, the disruption of nucleotide metabolism can alter the fidelity of...

  • Deoxyribonucleotides as determinants of DNA replication fidelity in bacteriophage T4

    Creator:
    Sargent, Roy Geoffrey
    Abstract:
    Imbalanced deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools are mutagenic for DNA synthesis in both intact cells and cell-free replication systems. Almost certainly, such mutagenesis involves competition between correctly and incorrectly base-paired precursors at replication sites. However, there are certain differences between the intact cell and cell-free systems that do not always allow...

  • Addressing Data Resolution in Precision Agriculture

    Creator:
    Kelley, Jason
    Abstract:
    Irrigated agriculture constitutes the greatest consumptive water use globally, so that irrigation efficiency measures are an important part of global efforts to best utilize this limited resource. However, greater irrigation efficiency must be achieved while simultaneously maintaining or increasing crop yields and farming profitability. Incremental water use decisions are made...
