Transcriptional regulation of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene

Creator:: Guo, Chunxiao
Abstract:: Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...

The Clerk’s Tale : literal monstrosities and allegorical problems

Creator:: Brock, Christopher J.
Abstract:: My thesis, entitled “The Clerk’s Tale: Literal Monstrosities and Allegorical Problems,” argues that Chaucer’s Clerk is engaging both sides of a binary system. The Clerk has situated himself in a precarious position between two major schools of thought in the medieval culture, Franciscan and Dominican; the former promotes the will...

High resolution spectroscopic studies of ³²S¹⁶O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁶O₃

Creator:: Barber, Jeffrey
Abstract:: The two sulfur isotopomers of sulfur trioxide, ³²S¹⁶O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁶O₃, have been studied via high resolution infrared and Coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS) spectroscopy. The v₁ symmetric SO stretching Q-branches observed by the latter are quite different, being especially complex for ³²S¹⁶O₃ Understanding this band structure required analysis of infrared-active hot...

Incorporation of diet information derived from Bayesian stable isotope mixing models into mass-balanced marine ecosystem models : a case study from the Marennes-Oléron Estuary, France

Creator:: Pacella, Stephen Roger
Abstract:: This thesis presents two related studies on the methodology for creating, and subsequently analyzing, an inverse food web model of an intertidal seagrass bed. The first study (Chapter 2) describes, for the first time in the literature, a method for incorporating isotopic information gained from Bayesian mixing models into an...

Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Embedded Rebar, Cracks, Chloride Ingress and Corrosion on Electrical Resistivity Measurements of Reinforced Concrete

Creator:: Morales, Monica
Abstract:: The effects of steel reinforcement, chloride-induced corrosion initiation, cracking and delamination on the electrical resistivity measurements using the Wenner probe technique were studied experimentally on custom-designed reinforced concrete slabs. Investigation parameters included (1) probe configurations with respect to rebar mesh, (2) rebar density, (3) epoxy coating on the rebar, (4)...

The effect of dietary compounds on human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene expression mediated through farnesoid X receptor and its potential role in gastrointestinal health

Creator:: Campbell, Yan
Abstract:: The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) is a broad spectrum microbicidal agent and modulator of both the innate and adaptive immune system. It is induced by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)₂D₃) through activation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and primary bile salts through activation of the xenobiotic nuclear receptor farnesoid X...

Becoming birds: community scientists, place, and critical socio-ecoliteracy

Creator:: Wicks, Teresa O.
Abstract:: Community science (also called citizen science) has become an increasingly popular data collection technique for scientists researching nature at a large scale. Many ecologists have also looked to community science as a method for educating the public about science. Over the past several decades, researchers have attempted to define an...

Al-In-Sn-O thin-film transistors

Creator:: Stewart, Kevin A.
Abstract:: The aim of the research undertaken for this thesis was to develop a new high-performance amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) for use as a channel layer in a thin-film transistor (TFT). AOS TFTs offer higher electron mobility than the established amorphous silicon based technology. A new channel material comprised of aluminum...

Challenges to re-embedding food systems : tracing the decline and revival of a farmers’ market on the edge

Creator:: Murray, Mary K.
Abstract:: A number of researchers view farmers’ markets as an appropriate vehicle for re-embedding food markets into communities (O’Hara & Stagl, 2001, Feenstra, 2002, Lyson, 2005). Amidst astounding growth in the number of farmers’ markets in the United States in recent decades, many markets struggle and fail. Recent research suggests that...

Literacy politics and literacy education : thematic perspectives in contemporary Chicana/o narrative

Creator:: Bowman, Christine D.
Abstract:: Literacy is often considered to be a basic set of skills to be mastered by the student; the conventional wisdom maintains that the individual who has mastered these skills is then literate. Scholars in the field of literacy studies, however, argue that such assumptions about literacy fail to take into...
