The Control and Safety Analysis of a Small Fission Surface Power Reactor

Creator:: Nelson, Noel B.
Abstract:: The NKUA1 is a Small Fission Surface Power (SFSP) space reactor intended for use in upcoming missions to Mars and the moon between the years 2020-2030. The concept of the reactor was created by Dr. Lee Mason and his research team in a joint effort between the Department of Energy...

Hi-C genome assembly of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Rhizopogon salebrosus

Creator:: Har, Skyler
Abstract:: Rhizopogon salebrosus is an abundant ectomycorrhizal fungus common throughout Western North America that forms mutualistic partnerships with Pinus species. Studied for its systematics, use in sapling nurseries, post-fire seedling establishment, and unique evolutionary history, R. salebrosus holds many secrets within its genome. This thesis aims to characterize the mating system,...

Cloning the zebrafish otoferlin b wildtype and a transmembrane mutant to characterize changes in cellular localization

Creator:: France, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Otoferlin is a protein that is essential in the process of hearing. Mutations in otoferlin are associated with profound recessive deafness. The long-term goal of the Johnson lab is to understand how otoferlin contributes to hearing and why certain mutations result in deafness. This project sought to characterize the difference...

Emotions and Content Themes associated with Substance Imagery in Hip-Hop and R&B YouTube Music Videos

Creator:: Chac, Christina L.
Abstract:: YouTube is a free video watching and uploading site that allows endorsing and sharing of videos. Youth and adolescents as top viewers of YouTube may be exposed to images and messages on tobacco, marijuana and alcohol use behaviors. The research project entailed deriving a list of songs from the 2014...

Surfacing Behavior of Juvenile Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) in North Carolina

Creator:: Patton, B. Wren
Abstract:: Sea turtles are endangered species that can be censused with aerial surveys, but the number of turtles in an area must be extrapolated to include animals that are submerged. Twenty-one satellite tags were attached to juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in North Carolina. I analyzed surfacing and dive behavior...

The Role of Syndecan-1 in Arterial Mechanotransduction.

Creator:: Steyer, Benjamin G.
Abstract:: Hemodynamic forces regulate vascular homeostasis and arterial structure through mechanical stimuli by a process called mechanotransduction. Cellular response to mechanical forces involves coordination between cell surface receptors and intracellular signaling pathways. While previous work has focused on the role of integrin receptors in mechanotransduction, little is known about the role...

Dissecting DNA Damage Responses in Arabidopsis: A High-Throughput Sequencing Approach

Creator:: Brar, Anantnoor
Abstract:: A unique, permanent root-growth arrest phenotype was observed in UV-B irradiated Arabidopsis thaliana roots lacking the DNA damage response kinase ATR. Segregation analysis suggests the dependence of this phenotype on another, unidentified gene, termed ursu. High-throughput sequencing technologies were used to map and identify the causal ursu mutation. Illumina HiSeq...

Investigation of the effects of cryopreservation on cellular viability and mechanical integrity of the intervertebral disc

Creator:: Forcier, Ryan J.
Abstract:: Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is a phenomenon that has yet to be adequately addressed. Treatment options remain limited and incomplete. The ability to effectively cryopreserve IVDs would allow for better allograft transplantations and storage of samples for research purposes. This study aimed to assess how cryopreservation with different...

Repression of DNA Mismatch Repair (MMR) in Arabidopsis thaliana through Dominant-Negative MMR Proteins

Creator:: Mohamed, Aly
Abstract:: The highly conserved multi-protein mismatch repair (MMR) system is known for its ability to correct post replication errors in genomic DNA. A hallmark of MMR deficiency in all organisms is microsatellite instability. The initiating proteins in the eukaryotic MMR system are hetrodimers formed with an integral MSH2 subunit and one...

Stability of Super Folder Green Fluorescent Protein Under Varying Organic Solvent and Temperature Conditions

Creator:: Ho, Lylan
Abstract:: Obtaining high-resolution structures of biological macromolecules has become one of the biggest challenges in the scientific world. Dr. Wei Kong’s lab is currently working to overcome the limitations of current structure resolution techniques, such as x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Kong’s group hopes to develop a new protein...
