Drunken Walking: A Novel Brownian Dynamics Simulation for the Mechanochemical Cycle of the Dynein Motor Protein

Creator:: Waczak, John L.
Abstract:: The dynein molecule is a peculiar motor protein recognized for its unique stepping behavior. Sometimes it steps forwards. Other times it steps backwards. It has even been observed to occasionally shuffle by beginning a step with the same domain many times in row. These motions make dynein an interesting object...

Optimizing Cancer Drug Treatment Models Using Process Dynamics

Creator:: Jones, Alexander R.
Abstract:: Cancer is currently the second leading cause of death in the United States and the sixth leading cause of death worldwide. Due to cancer’s variability in type, location, growth rates, and patient physiology, treatment models are based off of previous experimental and clinical work. This variability, however, can lead to...

Machine Learning and Optimization Applications in Agriculture

Creator:: Molotkov, Alexander
Abstract:: The ever-increasing global population presents looming problems for the field of agriculture. Global food demand will, at some point, increase to the point where there is not enough crop-ready land to keep up. This creates an additional incentive, other than economics, for growers to increase their yield-per-acre and make sure...

On Avoiding Power-Seeking by Artificial Intelligence

Creator:: Turner, Alexander M.
Abstract:: We do not know how to align a very intelligent AI agent's behavior with human interests. I investigate whether—absent a full solution to this AI alignment problem—we can build smart {\ai} agents which have limited impact on the world, and which do not autonomously seek power. In this thesis, I...

"Otherwise I hear riffs and drones": Sound and Decoloniality in Contemporary Latinx Poetics

Creator:: Diaz-Hui, Alexander
Abstract:: This thesis examines Latinx poetry in relation to the September 11th attacks and the reconfigurations of racial structures and the American empire that followed, most notably through the Department of Homeland Security and their agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE politically characterizes immigrants as anti-American to perpetuate stereotypes against...

Endogenous Small RNA Mediates Meiotic Silencing of a Novel DNA Transposon

Creator:: Wang, Yizhou, Smith, Kristina M., Taylor, John W., Freitag, Michael, and Stajich, Jason E.
Abstract:: Genome defense likely evolved to curtail the spread of transposable elements and invading viruses. A combination of effective defense mechanisms has been shown to limit colonization of the Neurospora crassa genome by transposable elements. A novel DNA transposon named Sly1-1 was discovered in the genome of the most widely used...

Abstract:: Despite a large and multifaceted effort to understand the vast landscape of phenotypic data, their current form inhibits productive data analysis. The lack of a community-wide, consensus-based, human- and machine-interpretable language for describing phenotypes and their genomic and environmental contexts is perhaps the most pressing scientific bottleneck to integration across...

Assessing the effectiveness of riparian restoration projects using Landsat and precipitation data from the cloud-computing application ClimateEngine.org

Creator:: Hausner, Mark B., Huntington, Justin L., Nash, Caroline, Morton, Charles, McEvoy, Daniel J., Pilliod, David S., Hegewisch, Katherine C., Daudert, Britta, Abatzoglou, John T., and Grant, Gordon
Abstract:: Riparian vegetation along streams provides a suite of ecosystem services in rangelands and thus is the target of restoration when degraded by over-grazing, erosion, incision, or other disturbances. Assessments of restoration effectiveness depend on defensible monitoring data, which can be both expensive and difficult to collect. We present a method...

Planning for Change: Assessing the Potential Role of Marine Protected Areas and Fisheries Management Approaches for Resilience Management in a Changing Ocean

Creator:: Kroeker, Kristy J., Carr, Mark H., Raimondi, Peter T., Caselle, Jennifer E., Washburn, Libe, Palumbi, Stephen R., Barth, John A., Chan, Francis, Menge, Bruce A., Milligan, Kristen, Novak, Mark, and White, J. Wilson
Abstract:: Despite progressive policies and continued advances in ocean management, numerous shifts associated with global changes have been observed in marine ecosystems in recent years, including warming, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation. As global change accelerates, science is needed to inform evidence-based management strategies for continued ecosystem services. Resilience management, in which...

Abstract:: A major goal of the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) has been to understand the impacts of climate change and variability on the coastal ecosystems of the inner shelf of the California Current Large Marine System in particular, and other marine and even nonmarine systems more generally....
