  • Development of novel oral enteric-coated aquaculture vibrio vaccines

    Creator:
    Wong, George Kaon
    Abstract:
    An oral Vibrio vaccine for salmonids was developed. The vaccine was produced by spray coating lyophilized formalin-killed whole cells of Vibrio anguillarum (VA LS 1- 74) onto non-pareil sugar beads. Then methacrylic acrylic acid copolymer (Eudragit L-30D) was applied as an enteric protective coating. Using x-ray radiographic techniques, it was...

  • Defining leisure and recreation in Malaysia

    Creator:
    Wong, Jenny Lai Ping
    Abstract:
    The fundamental aim of this study was to determine how Malaysians define both leisure and recreation. Two ethnic groups, Chinese and Malays, and rural and urban variants of these groups were included in the sample. The other objective was to determine if there were differences in the definitions due to...

  • Binding and assembly of H5 (and the globular domain of H5) onto DNA

    Creator:
    Carter, George John
    Abstract:
    In order to better characterize linker histone interactions with DNA, avian erythrocyte-specific linker H5 and the trypsin-resistant globular domain of H5 (GH5) were used in DNA binding studies. To begin, H5 displayed a considerably higher binding affinity for DNA than the isolated globular domain (GH5), supporting the importance of the...

  • Characterizing and Addressing Dataset Shift with Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Olson, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation delves into understanding, characterizing, and addressing dataset shift in deep learning, a pervasive issue for deployed machine learning systems. Integral aspects of the problem are examined: We start with the use of counterfactual explanations in order to characterize the behavior of deep reinforcement learning agents in visual input...

  • Algorithms for massive biological datasets

    Creator:
    Bryant, Douglas W. (Douglas Wesley)
    Abstract:
    Within the past several years the technology of high-throughput sequencing has transformed the study of biology by offering unprecedented access to life's fundamental building block, DNA. With this transformation's potential a host of brand-new challenges have emerged, many of which lend themselves to being solved through computational methods. From de...

  • Analysis of ras gene mutations in rainbow trout tumors

    Creator:
    Chang, Yung-jin
    Abstract:
    For ras gene mutation analysis in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) model system, a partial trout ras sequence was identified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Two synthetic oligonucleotides based on rat K-ras gene sequence were used as primers for the PCR procedure. A 90 base pair (bp) sequence, referred...

    Creator:
    Evans, Jay T.
    Abstract:
    The yeast two-hybrid system was used to examine interactions between the nine proteins involved in baculovirus DNA replication. From the six proteins required for DNA replication, four protein-protein interactions were identified, including an interaction between LEF-1 and LEF-2, LEF-3 and itself, LEF-3 and P143 (Helicase), and an interaction between IE-1...

  • Site-specific aflatoxin B₁ adduction of sequence-positioned nucleosome core particles

    Creator:
    Moyer, Richard A.
    Abstract:
    The question of how the presence of nucleosomal packing of DNA modifies carcinogen interaction at specific sites cannot be answered by studies on whole chromatin or bulk nucleosomes because of the heterogeneity of DNA sequences in the particles. This problem was circumvented by constructing nucleosomes that are homogenous in DNA-histone...

  • Characterization of a ras gene in rainbow trout

    Creator:
    Mangold, Kathy A.
    Abstract:
    The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) model of chemical carcinogenesis is becoming increasingly important as a supplement to rodent studies. However, much of the molecular biology of the carcinogenic response is still unknown in the trout model. The ras gene family has been implicated in the tumorigenesis of both spontaneous and...
