The three dimensional structure of both a ligand and its cognate receptor are required for the success of structure-assisted drug design. This thesis reports the crystal structure of hectochlorin, a small, bioactive molecule, and the steps toward determining the crystal structure of an RNA molecule that is an attractive target...
Despite climate change requiring the cutback of fossil fuel consumption, the world continues to increase its energy demands each year. To meet the ambitious goals outlined during the Paris Agreement in 2015, which set a goal to limit global warming to 1.5°C [1], changes in energy production methods are necessary....
Genomic analysis is a new approach for the characterization and investigation of novel genes, gene clusters, the function of uncharacterized proteins, and genetic diversity in microorganisms. These approaches are important for the study of chlamydiae, a system in which several genomes have been sequenced but in which techniques for genetic...
Children in middle childhood were surveyed in elementary schools
to explore possible associations between their perceptions about certain
characteristics of their sibling relationships and the ways in which
their parents responded to sibling quarrels.
An instrument was developed to measure perceptions of types of parental responses and the
Sibling Relationship...
A method for improving performance/watt of an embedded single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) architecture using application-guided a priori scheduling of hardware resources is presented. A multi-core architectural simulator is adopted that accurately estimates power, performance, and utilization of various processor components (logic, interconnect and memory). A greedy search is then performed on...
Literary fairy tales facilitate a specific inquiry into heroine quests. Due to the flexibility of the fairy tale genre, a variety of heroine tales have been produced. The specific stages of a heroine quest must be described in order to understand the direction and goals of these quests. In order...
