  • 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...

  • New Graphite Intercalation Chemistry with Alkaline Earth Metals

    Creator:
    Xu, Wei
    Abstract:
    Novel graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) and associated chemistry have been explored, specifically: (1) containing alkyl- substituted imidazolium cations; (2) a series containing alkaline earth metal (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) cations with ethylenediamine (en) co-intercalates; (3) showing reversible intragallery M-M bonding and (4) via electrochemical intercalation of Mg cations with potential...

  • The Feminist Itinerant School: A Feminist Pedagogical Approach to Curriculum Transformation for Public School Teachers in Brazil

    Creator:
    Melchor, Carolina R.
    Abstract:
    This Thesis examines Brazil’s political and historical context to explore and understand the logics behind the high rates of violence in our society. It focuses in education as one of our main vehicles of disseminating knowledge and therefore culture, language and values that might be contributing and perpetuating sexism, racism,...

  • Monotonic and Cyclic Testing of Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragms

    Creator:
    Beairsto, Cody J.
    Abstract:
    Mass timber is emerging as a viable form of construction around the world in new markets for wood buildings. The entrance into these markets has driven the demand for more knowledge to enable designs alongside other structural materials such as steel and reinforced concrete. Large, in-plane tests on cross-laminated timber...

  • Conceptual Design of Advanced Construction Progress Monitoring with Terrestrial and Robotic Laser Scanning Systems

    Creator:
    Arjmand, Mohsen, Jung, Jaehoon, Olsen, Michael J., Lassiter, H. Andrew, and Jafari, Melika
    Abstract:
    Advanced geomatics tools such as robotic and terrestrial laser scanners have the potential to significantly improve the progress monitoring of construction sites throughout their life cycle, particularly in the concrete structures, from the initial stage to cracking the ground for excavation and shoring to outdoor pouring of concrete at above...

  • A movement möbius: Intersecting dance and exercise science

    Creator:
    Cardinal, Bradley J. and Cardinal, Marita K.
    Abstract:
    Martha Grahm reputedly said, “a dancer is an ‘athlete of God’” (Theys, 2010). Yet dance and exercise and sport science (herein referred to as exercise science) are often viewed as unique entities, sometimes dividedly so. Our contention is that dance and exercise science mutually benefit when the two disciplines are...

  • Grassland Restoration and Climate Change: Altar Valley, Arizona Case Study

    Creator:
    Gondor, Anne
    Abstract:
    The Altar Valley is an important working landscape that supports biodiversity and vulnerable species in Pima County, Arizona (Huckelberry 2000). This semi-desert grassland, alluvial valley and 713,807-acre watershed composed of 39 subbasins serves as an aquifer to a portion of southwestern Tucson. This region of Southern Arizona has been identified...

  • Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

    Creator:
    Devan-Song, E. Anne
    Abstract:
    Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...

  • Beating Modes in Protostellar Disks

    Creator:
    Varga, Attila V.
    Abstract:
    Computational simulations of disks are becoming an important tool to predict the the evolution of protostars and disks to better understand the formation of planets. Past research has shown that the evolution of disks and their protostar can be altered through the interaction between gravity and hydrodynamic instabilities. We perform...

  • Timescales and tectonics of oceanic plateaus : long-term evolution of Ontong Java Nui and Rio Grande Rise

    Creator:
    Davidson, Peter C.
    Abstract:
    Oceanic plateaus are regions of overthickened oceanic crust and are often thought to form from the interaction of mantle plumes with oceanic lithosphere. These regions can cover vast areas of the ocean basins and represent a highly elevated magmatic flux relative to normal mid-ocean ridge spreading. Oceanic plateaus are considered...
