The role of innate immunity in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

Creator:: Poole, Angela Z.
Abstract:: Cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones serve as hosts to a variety of organisms including symbiotic dinoflagellates, bacteria, virus, and apicomplexans. As corals are vital to the health and productivity of the reef ecosystem it is important to understand how these organisms interact with each component of the holobiont....

Computing entropy for Z²-actions

Creator:: Pierce, Larry A.
Abstract:: For a certain class of Z²-actions, we provide a proof of a conjecture that the ratio of the Perron eigenvalues of the transfer matrices of the free boundary restrictions converge to the entropy of that action. Also, a novel method for computing the entropy of Z²-actions is conjectured.

The Eight Elements for Identifying the Story of Snow White: From Grimms’ to DEFA to Disney

Creator:: Johnston, Chloé Z.
Abstract:: The Grimms’ Brothers left their mark on history when they published their first edition of the Kinder- und Hausmärchen gesammelt durch die Brüder Grimm (Nursery and Household tales Collected by the Brothers Grimm) in 1812. Among these newly published tales was that of Snow White. Within the paradigm of the...

Error control techniques for the Z-channel

Creator:: Oprisan, Paul
Abstract:: The asymmetric nature of bit errors in several practical applications provides grounds for efficient error control techniques. The Z-channel model and special classes of codes like asymmetric error detection codes and t-asymmetric error correcting/d-asymmetric error detecting codes can be successfully used in ARQ protocols for feedback error control enhancement. This...

Improving the post-thaw processing of cryopreserved red blood cells using a combined approach of mathematical modeling and microfluidics

Creator:: Lusianti, Ratih E.
Abstract:: This study lays the groundwork on potential techniques that could be employed to improve the post-thaw wash processing of cryopreserved human red blood cells. Transfusion of red blood cells is one of the most commonly practiced procedures in clinical medicine. Millions of red blood cell units are transfused to patients...

Novel Predictive Simulation of Organ Perfusion Kinetics for Design of Cryopreservation Procedures

Creator:: Johnson, Hill S.
Abstract:: Despite the many advances in biotechnology and biomedical engineering, the need for long term organ and tissue storage remains among the unsolved problems in the field. Researchers are investigating several possible solutions to the issue that aim to maintain the function and integrity of the biological tissues during storage and...

The higher classification of the Hesperiidae (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea)

Creator:: Warren, Andrew D.
Abstract:: A comprehensive tribal-level classification for the world's subfamilies of Hesperiidae, the skipper butterflies, is proposed for the first time. Phylogenetic relationships between tribes and subfamilies are inferred using DNA sequence data from three gene regions: 943 bp of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) (in the mitochondrial genome), 739 bp of...

Broadening the scope of the modified-Julia reaction : a mild and stereoselective method for the synthesis of (Z)-configurated α,β-unsaturated lactones

Creator:: Giesbrecht, Heath Eugene
Abstract:: An intramolecular variant of the modified-Julia olefination was demonstrated by the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated lactones in a mild and (Z)-selective fashion. The lynchpin reagent (benzothiazol-2-sulfonyl) acetic acid was synthesized in a straightforward fashion in 86% overall yield from commercially available 2-mercaptobenzothiazole via conversion to ethyl (benzothiazol-2-ylthio)acetate by base mediated alkylation...

“Narco-Deforestation” in Central American Protected Areas: Developing A Spatiotemporal Proxy Database for Drug-Trafficking Activities from Media Reporting

Creator:: Cameron, Olivia Z.
Abstract:: On a global scale, illicit economies have dramatic impacts on the physical environment. Cocaine trafficking has been recognized as a major driver of deforestation inside Central American protected areas. A key problem in studying and managing the environmental impacts of illicit economic activity is the difficulty in obtaining reliable data....

Biogeochemical Processing of Freshwater Carbon in the Anthropocene

Creator:: Buser, Jessica Z.
Abstract:: Freshwater systems cycle carbon along a spatial and temporal biogeochemical continuum, across which ecosystem processes contribute to transformations of organic matter (OM). Various ecological constraints impact rates OM transformation and production and consumption of the energetic end of respiration, methane. Microbiological processing and complete reduction of carbon substrates to methane...
