Preliminary deployment and evaluation of geophone sensors for monitoring wave activity: GeoMoteShield

Creator:: Lathrop, Eve
Abstract:: This study focuses specifically on the investigation of a new, inexpensive geophone system and its application to monitor wave activity. Studies of seismic observations of coastal cliffs suggest that ground motions generated from local ocean waves may provide a surrogate to limited wave buoy data to quantify the wave contact...

Killing the Father and the Father Lives On: The Literary Influence of Richard Wright on James Baldwin

Creator:: Stoneberg, Michael R.
Abstract:: This thesis discusses the African American authors Richard Wright and James Baldwin, and their views regarding how literature should be written. These views are examined as laid out in a selection of each author‟s essays, as well as through an analysis of the characters Bigger Thomas and Rufus Scott in...

The Mathematics of Critical Shifts in Ecological Networks with Alternative Stable State Theory, A Potential Framework for Early Warning Indicators

Creator:: Kupperman, Michael D.
Abstract:: A long running problem in mathematical biology is the prediction of extinction events, a specialized case of the larger global stability problem found in differential equations and dynamical systems theory. A central technical question is how to introduce the randomness observed in real ecological systems not accounted for in deterministic...

Generation of expression plasmids to study the function of the PRC2 subunit Suz12 in Fusarium graminearum

Creator:: Park, Catherine
Abstract:: The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes genome transcription repression through the methylation of lysine residue 27 in the amino terminal region of histone 3 (H3K27me1/2/3) [2], [7]. PRC2 is made up of three highly conserved core subunits: Kmt6, Eed, and Suz12. Accurate distribution of PRC2 is essential for proper...

Inclusion development in cells infected with Chlamydia abortus

Creator:: DeBoer, Addison
Abstract:: Chlamydia abortus, an intracellular bacterium, spreads through flocks of sheep and goats, causing ovine enzootic abortion (OAE). Chlamydiae develop within a pathogen-modified vacuole in the host cell called the inclusion, which allows the bacteria to acquire host resources. The morphology of the inclusion varies between chlamydial species. Some species fuse...

A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

Creator:: Geisler, Mark S.
Abstract:: Histones, as part of nucleosomes, are responsible for DNA packaging in chromosomes. They also affect DNA expression by a multitude of post-translational modifications, especially prevalent on the amino terminus of histones. Co-activator protein complexes “write”, “read”, or “erase” histone modifications, and in balance determine which sections of DNA are free...

The role of the putative transcription factor DIS10 in PRC2-mediated gene silencing

Creator:: Jackson, Kendra K.
Abstract:: PRC2 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 2) mediated gene silencing plays an important role in cell differentiation, stem cell plasticity, and tumor suppression. In fungi, it is also involved in pathogenicity. The catalytic subunit, KMT6, trimethylates lysine 27 on histone h3 (H3K27me3) at loci targeted for silencing. In animals, PRC1 and PRC2...

Mutation of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) kmt6 to Probe in vivo Function in Fusarium

Creator:: Josephson, Brian
Abstract:: Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is a histone methyltransferase that initiates facultative heterochromatin formation by trimethylating histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27me3). Mutations within its three primary subunits, KMT6, EED, and SUZ12, result in inherited diseases and sporadic cancers. In the fungus Fusarium graminearum, deletion of the gene encoding the...

Effects of Long-term Use of Ankle Taping on Balance

Creator:: McGregor, Stephanie
Abstract:: Regular ankle taping is commonly used to prevent ankle sprains, but the effects of its long-term use are not fully understood. This study examined the effects of ankle taping on balance in athletes who regularly tape their ankles versus those who do not. Fourteen collegiate gymnasts’ ability to balance on...

Mutations of CenH3 Domains and their Effect on Chromocenter Localization and Meiosis in Neurospora crassa

Creator:: Ferrer, Sarah Theresa
Abstract:: In recent years, non-coding DNA has received much attention within the scientific community. This attention has not only illuminated the mystery behind functionally important regions like the centromere, but has also brought to light additional important questions regarding centromere mechanisms, inheritance, and cellular recognition by the kinetochore, a protein complex...
