Implementation of Distributed Localized Communications

Creator:: Snyder, Thomas
Abstract:: Artificial collectives are useful for accomplishing tasks that require teamwork from multiple simple robots. Multiple robot and collective testbeds have been developed, yet none stay committed to leverage the local interactions, group size, and imperfect information assumptions that strengthen biological collectives. A review of the collective and multiple robot literature,...

Establishment of an in vitro model to study persistence in Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis

Creator:: Armstrong, Elyssa L.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) is the most common pathogen among non-tuberculous mycobacteria, causing disease in immunocompromised individuals. An intracellular bacterium, MAH resides within the phagosome, a vesicle formed by macrophages as they engulf invading pathogens. Here, a subpopulation of MAH regresses into a nonreplicative state called persistence, allowing them...

Two Advances in Practical Alternative Energy: Thermotolerant Hydrogenase Concentration and Methane Hydrate Grain Size Proxies.

Creator:: Sullivan, Nichole D.
Abstract:: Methane hydrates and biohydrogen are two disparate subjects that are of interest in the growing field of alternative energy research. However, before commercial use becomes a viable option, each has challenges that need to be overcome. Methane hydrates require large investments of time and capital to locate. In this thesis,...

Characterization of soil carbon and nitrogen pools following a decade of detritus manipulation in a temperate coniferous forest

Creator:: Wilson, Lea I.
Abstract:: Soil organic matter (SOM) is the result of the balance between decomposition and incorporation of detritus from both above and below ground sources into the soil. It composes only a fraction of the soil by mass but it is one of the most critical components. The Detritus Input and Removal...

Using Angular Correlation to Determine Decay Behavior in Nuclei through the Analysis of Coincidence Sum Peaks

Creator:: Hager, Werner W., IV
Abstract:: When a nucleus is in an excited state, it will decay to lower energy by emitting photons. Often there are several intermediate stages in a decay cascade. Occasionally the photons in a cascade will be emitted in coincidence. This will be resolved by the detector not as two distinct photons,...

Repression of DNA Mismatch Repair (MMR) in Arabidopsis thaliana through Dominant-Negative MMR Proteins

Creator:: Mohamed, Aly
Abstract:: The highly conserved multi-protein mismatch repair (MMR) system is known for its ability to correct post replication errors in genomic DNA. A hallmark of MMR deficiency in all organisms is microsatellite instability. The initiating proteins in the eukaryotic MMR system are hetrodimers formed with an integral MSH2 subunit and one...

The Effect of Varying Parameters on Web Vibration Analysis Accuracy

Creator:: Gladson, Kathleen Y.
Abstract:: The SpiderHarp is a bio-inspired electronic musical instrument that uses a localization algorithm developed at Oregon State University to translate plucks of its strings into musical notes. This localization algorithm was inspired by the way spiders locate prey in their webs. The SpiderHarp frame, sensors, and web design are also...

PCR-based Sequencing System across Chlamydia trachomatis

Creator:: Roetcisoender, Jake
Abstract:: Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular pathogen that affects millions of people worldwide via ocular or reproductive tract infection. Despite obvious differences in site of infection, there has been shown to be high levels of sequence conservation across C. trachomatis. This high level of sequence conservation is hindered with a...

Supernatant of MAH-infected macrophages suppresses the ability of uninfected macrophages to kill intracellular bacteria

Creator:: Joseph, Jayanthi
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) is a nontuberculous mycobacterium which commonly infects patients with underlying lung pathology. MAH infections are difficult to treat and require lengthy courses of multiple antibiotics. MAH infects macrophages and evade the immune system by altering host cell cytokine production. The hypothesis is that intracellular MAH...

Assessment of roles for the Rho-specific guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (RhoGDI) Ly-GDI in platelet function

Creator:: Thierheimer, Marisa
Abstract:: Platelets undergo morphological changes essential to hemostasis upon activation at sites of vascular injury. The Rho GTPases Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA drive these changes. Rho guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitors (RhoGDIs) bind to the Rho GTPases to block the GDP from dissociating from the Rho GTPases, as well as anchoring the...
