Application of a Modified Microdosimetric-Kinetic Model to Analyze Cell Killing in Determination of the Optimal Particle for Light Ion Therapy

Creator:: Butkus, Michael P.
Abstract:: Ion therapy has long been investigated as a potential modality to improve cancer treatments beyond what is currently feasible with photon irradiations. Ions offer both a physical and biological advantage over photons. The physical advantages are well understood, ions deposit their maximum dose at defined penetration depths, allowing for minimal...

Transcriptomic analysis using high-throughput sequencing and DNA microarrays

Creator:: Fox, Samuel E.
Abstract:: Transcriptomics and gene expression profiling enables the elucidation of the genetic response of an organism to various environmental cues. Transcriptomics enables the deciphering of differences between two closely related organisms to the same environment and in contrast, enables the elucidation of genetic responses of the same organism to different environmental...

Mahler's order functions and algebraic approximation of p-adic numbers

Creator:: Dietel, Brian Christopher
Abstract:: If P is an integer polynomial denote the degree of P by ∂(P) and let H(P) be the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of P. Define Λ(P)=2[superscript ∂(P)]H(P) and for a fixed prime p let C[subscript p] denote the completion of the algebraic closure of the p-adic...

Applying Machine Learning Algorithms to Identify Problematic Nuclear Data within Nuclear Transport Simulations

Creator:: Grechanuk, Pavel A.
Abstract:: The primary goal of this dissertation is to improve the quality of nuclear data available to the nuclear science community. We propose to accomplish this by applying machine learning algorithms to the large number of available benchmark experiments and simulations, with the goal of determining which nuclear data have strong...

Studies on the centromere-specific histone, CenH3, of Neurospora crassa and related ascomycetes

Creator:: Phatale, Pallavi A.
Abstract:: In eukaryotes, the defined loci on each chromosome, the centromeres, accomplish the critical task of correct cell division. In some organisms, centromeres are composed of a euchromatic central core region embedded in a stretch of heterochromatin and the inheritance and maintenance of centromeres are controlled by dynamic epigenetic phenomena. Although...

Characterization of Neurospora crassa and Fusarium graminearum mutants defective in repeat-induced point mutation

Creator:: Pomraning, Kyle R.
Abstract:: Mutation of repetitive DNA by repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a process that occurs in many filamentous fungi of the Ascomycota during the sexual cycle. Concurrently, direct DNA repeats are often deleted by homologous recombination at high frequency during the sexual cycle. Thus, the processes of RIP and deletion compete...

Fourier Analysis and Equidistribution on the p-adic Integers

Creator:: Somasunderam, Naveen
Abstract:: In this dissertation, we use Fourier-analytic methods to study questions of equidistribution on the compact abelian group Zp of p-adic integers. In particu- lar, we prove a LeVeque-type Fourier analytic upper bound on the discrepancy of sequences. We establish p-adic analogues of the classical Dirichlet and Fejér kernels on R/Z,...

Structure-Property Relationships of Disordered Electronic Materials : From Crystalline to Amorphous

Creator:: Surta, Todd Wesley, Jr.
Abstract:: Two perovskite materials (Bi0.5(A)0.5)(Sc0.5Nb0.5)O3, where A = K+ and Na+ were synthesized phase pure for the first time. Their structures were determined by indexing synchrotron X-ray diffraction data and subsequent combined Rietveld refinement on neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction data revealing significant disorder on the A-sites of these materials. A...

Discrete Ordinates Radiation Transport using High-Order Finite Element Spatial Discretizations on Meshes with Curved Surfaces

Creator:: Woods, Douglas N.
Abstract:: We spatially discretize the Sn transport equation using the high-order (HO) discontinuous finite element method (DFEM) on HO meshes. Previous work provided a proof-of-concept for this spatial discretization method in X-Y geometry. Included in the present work, we derive a spatial discretization for the Sn transport equation in both X-Y...

Genomic Resource Development for European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Rowley, Erik R.
Abstract:: European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is an important crop Oregon's Willamette Valley, producing 99% of the hazelnuts grown in North America and brings over US $60 million dollars to the region annually. Hazelnuts are rich in fiber and vitamins, as well in demand by consumers due to their popularity as...
