G. F. Drukarev has given a method for solving the Fredholm
equations which arise in the study of collisions between electrons
and atoms. He transforms the Fredholm equations into Volterra
equations plus finite algebraic systems. H. Brysk observes that
Drukarev's method applies generally to a Fredholm integral equation
(I-λ G)u...
In 1964, Zarantonello published a constructive method for
the solution of certain nonlinear problems in a Hilbert space. We
extend the method in various directions including a generalization
to a Banach space setting. A revealing geometric interpretation of
the method yields guidelines for the analysis.
Background: Functional annotations of large plant genome projects mostly provide information on gene function
and gene families based on the presence of protein domains and gene homology, but not necessarily in
association with gene expression or metabolic and regulatory networks. These additional annotations are necessary
to understand the physiology, development...
Transcriptomics and gene expression profiling enables the elucidation of the genetic response of an organism to various environmental cues. Transcriptomics enables the deciphering of differences between two closely related organisms to the same environment and in contrast, enables the elucidation of genetic responses of the same organism to different environmental...
The loss of all deuterium labels from previous feedings of [2-²H]-,
[3,3-²H₂]-, and [2,3,3-²H₃]arginines had indicated the possible intermediacy
of β-hydroxy- and β-ketoarginine (30 and 31, respectively) in the
biosynthesis of the streptolidine portion of streptothricin F (la).
In order to confirm or refute this evidence, D,L-[2,3,3,5,5-²H₅]-
arginine (32) was...
The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of SrS-based alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) device operation. Three main accomplishments serving this purpose are presented in this thesis. First, two new methods are developed for estimation of insulator capacitance in ACTFEL devices possessing a large amount of dynamic...

Bipedal locomotion is a complex phenomenon to understand and control, making it difficult for legged robots to achieve the speed, agility, efficiency, and robustness of their animal counterparts. This thesis argues for the use of numerical optimization to investigate and implement bipedal control as it applies to biology, dynamical models,...
