  • Growth and characterization of wide–gap semiconducting oxide and chalcogenide thin films by pulsed laser deposition

    Creator:
    Newhouse, Paul F.
    Abstract:
    The preparation and characterization of thin film oxides and chalcogenides by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is presented. An overview of fundamental PLD concepts are presented and are followed by a description implementation and development of the PLD systems at OSU. We present the results of thin film growth of high...

  • The j-Function and the Monster

    Creator:
    Scherer, Asa
    Abstract:
    The first published notion that the j-function was in any way related to the Monster came in 1979, when Conway and Norton noted in [CN79] that each coefficient in the q- expansion of the j-function could be written as a (nontrivial) integral linear combination of the dimensions of irreducible representations...

  • Some potential mechanisms for finely-tuned regulation of phospholipase C-β isozymes : studies of dimerization and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate activation

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yong
    Abstract:
    Phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) isozymes are key effectors in G protein-coupled signaling pathways. Prior research suggested that some isoforms of PLC-β may exist and function as dimers, but little is known about dimerization of PLC-β. Data from coimmunoprecipitation assays of differentially-tagged PLC-β constructs and sizeexclusion chromatography of native PLC-β support homodimerization...

  • Ascorbylation- the biological relevance of covalently bound ascorbic acid

    Creator:
    Kesinger, Nicholas G.
    Abstract:
    Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is well known as a co-factor for proline-hydroxylase and as an anti-oxidant. However, it is also capable of forming covalent bonds, particularly in the role of a nucleophile, henceforth termed 'ascorbylation'. The ascorbylation of electrophiles can occur under physiological conditions. Furthermore, there are a number...

  • Quantifying C and N contents and isotope signatures of SOM pools in the H. J. Andrews DIRT plots

    Creator:
    Keirstead, Heath
    Abstract:
    The mechanisms governing short- and long-term belowground carbon dynamics need to be understood. As part of a larger project developed to assess the effect of quantity and quality of litter inputs on the rate of soil organic matter (SOM) formation, I examined SOM in the H. J. Andrews Detritus Input...

  • Regulation of phospholipase C-beta isozymes by calmodulin

    Creator:
    McCullar, Jennifer Star
    Abstract:
    Phospholipase C-Jβ (PLCβ) is an important effector enzyme in G-protein-coupled signaling pathways. Activation of PLCβ by Gα and Gβy subunits has been fairly well characterized, but little is known about other protein interactions that may also regulate PLCβ function. A yeast two-hybrid screen of a mouse brain cDNA library with...

  • Parallelism encapsulation in C++

    Creator:
    Wu, Youfeng and Lewis, Ted G.
    Abstract:
    Object oriented programming features information hiding and encapsulation, meaning that 1) each object hides the the implementation details tram access from outside and only a set of methods (interface routines) are visible outside of the object, and 2) changes to the implementation of the object do not require changes to...

  • Properties of phospholipase C-β-mediated signaling in H9c2 cardiac myoblasts

    Creator:
    Kwon, Sun Hyung
    Abstract:
    The mechanisms by which the activities of phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) enzymes are negatively regulated have not been well defined. We used cardiac-derived ratmyoblast H9c2 cells to investigate possible modes of regulation of PLC-β3 enzymes,the only endogenous β isoform abundantly found in these cells. The PLC-β3population in these cells was detected...

    Bond, Colton B.
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of gas gangrene and the 3rd most common cause of type A food borne disease in the United States. Critical to the pathogenicity of C. perfringens is the ability of this bacterium to produce highly resistant, metabolically dormant spores that can resume metabolic function...
