Involvement of myristoylated alanine-rich c kinase substrate (MARCKS) protein in prostaglandin F2α- induced secretion of oxytocin by the bovine corpus luteum

Creator:: Salli, Ugur
Abstract:: Prostaglandin F₂α (PGF₂α), a stimulatory hormone of luteal oxytocin secretion, is known to activate protein kinase C (PKC); however, the intracellular signals that promote exocytosis of oxytocin remain to be elucidated. Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), a protein specifically phosphorylated by PKC, crosslinks actin filaments associated with the inner...

The Hanford Laboratories and the growth of environmental research in the Pacific Northwest, 1943 to 1965

Creator:: Ellis, D. Erik
Abstract:: The scientific endeavors that took place at Hanford Engineer Works, beginning in World War II and continuing thereafter, are often overlooked in the literature on the Manhattan Project, the Atomic Energy Commission, and in regional histories. To historians of science, Hanford is described as an industrial facility that illustrates the...

A data-driven model of pedestrian movement

Creator:: Casburn, Ledah
Abstract:: This thesis presents a model for simulating individual pedestrian motion based on empirical data. The model keeps track of a pedestrian’s position, orientation, and body configuration and leverages motion capture data to generate plausible motion. Our model can automatically incorporate a pedestrian’s physical limitations when making movement decisions, since it...

Painterly rendering using space-time varying style parameters

Creator:: Kagaya, Mizuki
Abstract:: Automatic painterly rendering systems have been proposed but they opted for selecting a single style to generate paintings from images, which lacks the ability of creatively using multiple styles to focus important objects and deemphasize unimportant part of the scenes. We provide a multi-style painting framework to address this issue...

Tensor Field Design and Analysis for Applications in Computer Graphics and Scientific Visualization

Creator:: Palacios, Jonathan
Abstract:: Many applications in computer graphics and geometry processing rely on the ability to locally orient 2D and 3D entities on a surface, or inside a volume, such as the sinusoidal kernels in Gabor noise, the color and geometry textures in pattern synthesis, and the finite elements in remeshing. In these...

Synthesis and characterization of aluminum oxide based materials - from molecule to device

Creator:: Wang, Wei
Abstract:: A scalable synthesis of the "flat" tridecameric inorganic cluster [Al₁₃(μ₃-OH)₆(μ-OH)₁₈(H₂O)₂₄]¹⁵⁺ has been realized by treating an aqueous aluminum nitrate solution with zinc-metal powder at room temperature. Single crystals and polycrystalline samples are readily obtained in yields exceeding 55% relative to the starting reagent Al(NO₃)₃. Products have been characterized by X-ray...

Effects of pesticides on amphibians with special reference to the pyrethroidinsecticide, cypermethrin

Creator:: Biga, Lindsay M.
Abstract:: Pollution by pesticides is a ubiquitous concern for wildlife. The effects of pesticides are especially concerning in aquatic environments, which are particularly vulnerable as they have several exposure routes for the influx of chemicals. These effects are of particular concern as biodiversity loss reaches unprecedented rates. This includes recent declines...

Computational Investigation and Prediction of Mechanisms and Stereocontrol in Complex Organic Reactions

Creator:: Pattawong, Ommidala
Abstract:: Complex organic transformations, such as the addition of pyrrole to ketene using planar chiral organocatalyst (*PPY), the four-component anhydride- Manniach reactions, and the site-selective desymmetrization of meso-1,2-diol, are remarkable synthetic reactions that provide high yield and high selectivity. However, the exact mechanism and origins of stereocontrol for theses synthetic organic...

Disentangling the Biotic and Abiotic Drivers of the Amphibian Disease Chytridiomycosis

Creator:: Bradley, Paul W.
Abstract:: The ongoing worldwide loss of biodiversity has been described as a "biodiversity crisis," "the Anthropocene defaunation," and alternatively "an extinction spasm." More recently, many scientists have come to the conclusion that we are witnesses to Earth's sixth major mass extinction event, which has the potential to fundamentally alter basic ecological...

Changing Climate, Changing Contexts : Variation in Rocky Intertidal Predator-prey Interactions Seen Through an Environmental Stress Framework

Creator:: Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B.
Abstract:: The multifaceted role of the environment in regulating the structure and dynamics of biological communities has long fascinated ecologists and motivated much debate and research. Now, in a time of accelerated global changes due to human impacts, the need to understand how the environment shapes communities has gained new urgency....
