  • A domain-specific embedded language for probabilistic programming

    Creator:
    Kollmansberger, Steven
    Abstract:
    Functional programming is concerned with referential transparency, that is, given a certain function and its parameter, that the result will always be the same. However, it seems that this is violated in applications involving uncertainty, such as rolling a dice. This thesis defines the background of probabilistic programming and domain-specific...

  • Gene expression in the liver of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, during the stress response

    Creator:
    Momoda, Tracey S.
    Abstract:
    The extent to which responses to stress are maladaptive or adaptive to the long-term survival of fish remains to be better understood. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes in the livers of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, responding to an experimental stressor. Gene expression responses were...

  • The aging endoplasmic reticulum

    Creator:
    Dixon, Brian M.
    Abstract:
    Hallmarks of aging include the accumulation of aberrant proteins and a lower resistance to stresses. Because the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions to fold proteins and possesses unique stress sensing pathways, the central hypothesis of this dissertation is that the ER is a target of cellular aging and significantly underlies these...

  • Metabolic uncoupling of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, under the presence of excess substrate and 3,3’,4’,5 tetrachlorosalicylanilide

    Creator:
    Saini, Gaurav
    Abstract:
    Dissociation between catabolism and anabolism, generically termed “metabolic uncoupling”, has been studied for aerobic cultures of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Under conditions promoting metabolic uncoupling, the cell yield diminishes while the substrate utilization rate remains largely unchanged. The effects of excess substrate conditions and TCS addition on the metabolism of pyruvate...

  • Analysis of Betta splendens erythrophore responses to Bacillus cereus cultured in different media

    Creator:
    Austin, Melissa J.
    Abstract:
    Biological agents and their products commonly cause foodborne illnesses. In the United States it is estimated that there are over 76 million cases of foodborne illnesses each year, resulting in an economic loss of approximately $40 billion. These high figures demonstrate the need for bioassays that display a rapid and...

  • Study of seed germination-associated genes using Arabidopsis enhancer-trap

    Creator:
    Liu, Po-Pu
    Abstract:
    In mature Arabidopsis seeds, the testa (seed coat) is no longer a living tissue. Thus, major sites of gene expression in imbibed seeds are the internal living tissues such as the embryo and the endosperm. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of seed germination, the gene regulation in these two tissues...

  • From electrophoresis to dielectrophoresis: designing, fabricating, and evaluating an electroformed ratchet type microfluidic dielectrophoresis device

    Creator:
    Gonzalez, Carlos F.
    Abstract:
    Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a separation method in which a non-uniform electric field is used to induce a dipole moment in a suspended particle. If the polarization of the particle is greater than that of the suspending medium, the particle will move towards the region of higher field strength (positive DEP);...

  • Control of alkane monooxygenase activity and expression in Pseudomonas butanovora

    Creator:
    Doughty, David M.
    Abstract:
    The regulation of monooxygenase enzymes has been demonstrated in bacteria that grow on methane and long chain-length alkanes (>C10). Less is known about monooxygenase regulation in short chain alkane oxidizing bacteria that grow on intermediate chain-length alkanes C2-C10. This dissertation focuses on the regulation of butane monooxygenase (BMO) expression and...

  • Characterization of vaccinia virus A12L protein : its proteolysis and functional analyses in virus replication

    Creator:
    Yang, Su Jung
    Abstract:
    In order to produce infectious virus progeny, vaccinia virus (VV) undergoes morphogenic proteolysis to regulate the structural rearrangements of virus particles. Several of the major structural precursor proteins of VV are cleaved at a conserved Ala-Gly-X (where X is any amino acid) motif by the VV I7L core protein proteinase...

  • An emerging role for the exocyst : plant morphogenesis

    Creator:
    Cole, Rex A.
    Abstract:
    Plants develop a vast array of cell shapes and sizes by selectively modifying their surrounding cell walls to expand in some regions and not in others. This process of morphogenesis requires the delivery of secretory vesicles to specific locations at the cell periphery, where exocytosis adds new membrane and proteins...
