  • Expression of Phospholipase C-beta Isoenzyme in Embryonic Mice

    Creator:
    Jong, Anita M., Filtz, Theresa, and Kioussi, Chrissa
    Abstract:
    Phospholipase C enzymes hydrolyze the rare membrane lipids phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) PIP into inositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). Phospholipase C enzymes of the β subtype (PLC-β) function specifically in the signal transduction pathways regulated by Gαq-coupled seven transmembrane receptors. These signaling pathways link plasma membrane receptor activation...

  • Elucidating Computational Narratives to Facilitate Code Comprehension

    Creator:
    Chattopadhyay, Souti
    Abstract:
    Programming is integrated across the workflow of multiple domains where end-user programmers, those who need to program as a means to an end, regularly need to code. In the modern setting of collaborative development, end-user programmers have to interpret the intentions behind existing code to contribute and build solutions to...

  • Nutritional and biochemical characterization of Moraxella species isolated from fishery sources

    Creator:
    Vernon, Stephen M.
    Abstract:
    One hundred and fourteen strains of Moraxella species isolated from marine fishery sources were investigated to determine the cause of this organism's predominance in seafood. The nutritional requirements, effect of pH, NaCl concentration, and temperature on growth, utilization of carbohydrates, protein, and lipid, resistance to 12 antibiotics, sensitivity to phenethyl...

  • Characterization of Arthrobacter species isolated from marine and seafood sources

    Creator:
    McKenzie, Stephen M.
    Abstract:
    Forty Arthrobacter species isolated from Pacific and Atlantic fishery sources were examined to determine their significance in seafood. All strains were able to utilize inorganic nitrogen as the sole nitrogen source and grew in the absence of vitamins or growth factors. In addition, 78% grew on a medium containing only...

    Abstract:
    This thesis is arranged in three main chapters, each of which focuses on a particular type of Anaїs Nin text, and each of which is intended to enlarge Nin's complexities through distinct but overlapping perspectives. The idea connecting these three chapters is that Nin, who has been radically misrepresented by...

  • Writing a feminist position in the classroom

    Creator:
    Forrest, Dodie A.
    Abstract:
    Like other social institutions, universities have been created and administered by and for a white-male dominant culture that continues to marginalize women and anyone else designated as -Other- according to race, class, ethnicity, ability, age, size, and sexuality. This discussion questions the dominant model of standard written discourse in the...

  • Opening Pandora's Box at the Roof of the World : The Past and Present of Avian Influenza Science

    Creator:
    Canavan, Barbara C.
    Abstract:
    By means of a case study and historical analysis, this dissertation examines the past and present of avian influenza. By integrating disconnected histories of human and animal influenza, this dissertation links historical insights with the concerns of contemporary avian flu science. It is not only a natural history of avian...

  • Changing stories and moving bones : correlation of Chinatown and mother-daughter relationships in Kingston's The Woman Warrior and Ng's Bone

    Creator:
    Fujii, So
    Abstract:
    This thesis argues for significant correlations in the politics of representation of Chinatown and mother-daughter relationships in two literary texts by Maxine Hong Kingston and Fae Myenne Ng. The two novels do not follow traditional representations of Chinatown and provide critical representations of Chinatown and mother-daughter relationships. First, Kingston's The...

  • Influence of host anemia on blood-feeding rate and egg production of Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera : Culicidae)

    Creator:
    Shieh, Jong-Neng
    Abstract:
    I tested a theoretical model proposing that anemia favors transmission of blood-borne parasites to vectors by accelerating the blood-feeding rate. Using Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, initially, I was not able to confirm this phenomenon either in an artificial or a live system; anemia did not correlate with blood-feeding...

    Creator:
    Johnson, Lynn I.
    Abstract:
    Aerobic heterotrophic bacteria associated with oyster larvae feed algae Isochrysis galbana, Monochrysis lutheri and Pseudoisochrysis paradoxa were isolated and enumerated. The bacterial numbers ranged from 7.8x10³ to 3.9x10⁶ CFU per ml. The bacteria associated with Pseudoisochrysis sp. were identified and the majority of isolates belonged to genera Leucothrix (51%). Also...
