Modeling of Power Efficiency in a Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

Creator:: Redle, Michael T.
Abstract:: The introduction of an Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator in coal or natural gas energy plants could significantly increase the efficiency by converting kinetic and thermal energy of the combustion exhaust to electrical energy by the generation of a Faraday and Hall current. The traditional MHD system was transformed into a simplified...

Generation of expression plasmids to study the function of the PRC2 subunit Suz12 in Fusarium graminearum

Creator:: Park, Catherine
Abstract:: The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes genome transcription repression through the methylation of lysine residue 27 in the amino terminal region of histone 3 (H3K27me1/2/3) [2], [7]. PRC2 is made up of three highly conserved core subunits: Kmt6, Eed, and Suz12. Accurate distribution of PRC2 is essential for proper...

The role of the putative transcription factor DIS10 in PRC2-mediated gene silencing

Creator:: Jackson, Kendra K.
Abstract:: PRC2 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 2) mediated gene silencing plays an important role in cell differentiation, stem cell plasticity, and tumor suppression. In fungi, it is also involved in pathogenicity. The catalytic subunit, KMT6, trimethylates lysine 27 on histone h3 (H3K27me3) at loci targeted for silencing. In animals, PRC1 and PRC2...

A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

Creator:: Geisler, Mark S.
Abstract:: Histones, as part of nucleosomes, are responsible for DNA packaging in chromosomes. They also affect DNA expression by a multitude of post-translational modifications, especially prevalent on the amino terminus of histones. Co-activator protein complexes “write”, “read”, or “erase” histone modifications, and in balance determine which sections of DNA are free...

Mutation of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) kmt6 to Probe in vivo Function in Fusarium

Creator:: Josephson, Brian
Abstract:: Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is a histone methyltransferase that initiates facultative heterochromatin formation by trimethylating histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27me3). Mutations within its three primary subunits, KMT6, EED, and SUZ12, result in inherited diseases and sporadic cancers. In the fungus Fusarium graminearum, deletion of the gene encoding the...

Effects of Long-term Use of Ankle Taping on Balance

Creator:: McGregor, Stephanie
Abstract:: Regular ankle taping is commonly used to prevent ankle sprains, but the effects of its long-term use are not fully understood. This study examined the effects of ankle taping on balance in athletes who regularly tape their ankles versus those who do not. Fourteen collegiate gymnasts’ ability to balance on...

Investigation of the Effects of Commercial Salmon Fishery Management in Upper Cook Inlet, Alaska

Creator:: Fleming-Craig, Danielle
Abstract:: Optimal commercial fishery management sustains each salmon species' population while maximizing economic benefits. This thesis addresses two questions. What are the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's and the Board of Fisheries' intentions when conducting a fishery management plan in Upper Cook Inlet? How does it compare to its implementation?...

Mutations of CenH3 Domains and their Effect on Chromocenter Localization and Meiosis in Neurospora crassa

Creator:: Ferrer, Sarah Theresa
Abstract:: In recent years, non-coding DNA has received much attention within the scientific community. This attention has not only illuminated the mystery behind functionally important regions like the centromere, but has also brought to light additional important questions regarding centromere mechanisms, inheritance, and cellular recognition by the kinetochore, a protein complex...

An evaluation of the establishment and continued effectiveness of the Galápagos National Park and Marine Reserve in Ecuador

Creator:: Asson, Danielle
Abstract:: Conservation of natural resources has become a new watchword of the scientific community. While many terrestrial ecosystems are well protected, marine ecosystems have only recently come to the forefront. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been introduced as a means of protecting biodiversity, commercial stocks, and ecosystem services. There are many...

Exploring Chromodomain Genes in the Fungus Fusarium graminearum Through Targeted Genetic Manipulation

Creator:: Peters, Alec
Abstract:: DNA segments in the fungus Fusarium graminearum were identified as possible genes encoding for chromodomain proteins (CDPs), and targeted for genetic manipulation. Targeted single-gene deletion strains, as wells as GFP-S tag fusion strains, were generated from wildtype F. graminearum protoplasts, and verified strains were screened for phenotypic differences, such as...
