Peptide-phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PPMOs) are synthetic DNA mimics that bind and silence gene targets. Through designing PPMOs that silence essential or resistance genes in pathogens, these antisense oligomers could be utilized as novel antimicrobials. Towards this end, my thesis employed minimum inhibitory concentration assays (MICs) to identify PPMOs capable of...
Multi-level decision feedback equalization (MDFE) is a sampled signal processing technique for data recovery from magnetic recording channels which use the 2/3(1,7) run length limited code. The key adaptive feedback loops in MDFE are those which perform the timing recovery, gain recovery, dc offset detection, and adaptive equalization of the...
Long-haul truck drivers are absent from their families for prolonged periods
of time. This paper examines the methods trucking families use to remain
connected given such absences. Interviews with ten women married to long-haul
truck drivers underwent qualitative analysis. Initially, personal profiles were
developed to illustrate life experiences of the...

In this paper, I will analyze the nature of these
problems and examine how recent approaches to SLRA have
dealt with them. In addition, a framework for assessing the
potential impacts of sea level rise is proposed, drawing
upon the ecological concept of resilience (Holling 1978,
1984).
