A G Protein Coupled Nicotinic Receptor: How the Alpha 7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Regulates Hippocampal Axon Growth via an Interaction with G Proteins

Nordman, Jacob (2014-05)

Historically neurotransmitter receptor classes have been divided into two categories: ionotropic and metabotropic. Ionotropic receptors are typically multi-subunit structures that when activated conduct ions through a ...
GAS-PHASE ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTION OF TRACE ARSENIC IN DRINKING WATER

Hong, Jinsoo (2012)

The presence of toxic levels of inorganic arsenic in drinking water is a worldwide problem. Measurement of millions of field samples for arsenic is an analytical challenge and the first step to solve the problem. This work ...
Gene Polymorphisms of the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products and Its Role in the AGE-RAGE Pathway and Inflammation

Shaw, Gladys

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are cross-linked, non-degradable aggregates of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids produced during aging and many aging-associated chronic diseases. Additionally, the receptor for ...
Generalized Depth and Associated Primes in the Perfect Closure $R^\infty$

Whelan, George (2017)

\indent Letting $(S, \mathfrak{n})$ be a Noetherian local ring, and $M$ be a finitely generated $S$-module, the notions of $\depth_S(M)$ and associated primes over $M$, denoted $\Ass_S(M)$, are fundamental concepts in ...
Genetic Association Study of Spatial Working Memory

Lin, Mingkuan (2009-07-25)

Working memory (WM) is a collection of cognitive processes that include short term storage of task related information and manipulation of this information to facilitate the transformation of memory to action immediately. ...
Genetic Diversity of Two Subpopulations of Black Rhinoceros, Diceros bicornis bicornis, at Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa

Josway, Sarah E (2015-01-30)

Due to international initiatives to increase the efficacy of conservation programs, the critically endangered black rhinoceros is making a tenuous recovery from significant population declines (Emslie & Brooks, 1999). ...
Genetic Structure and Phylogeography of the Fox Squirrel, Sciurus niger, as Inferred From a Mitochondrial Gene

Bryant, Katherine (2007-12-14)

Sciurus niger (Rodentia: Sciuridae) is a large tree squirrel which inhabits the southeastern portion of North America. Currently there are ten recognized subspecies which are distinguished based on differences in morphology ...
The Genetic Variation of Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) in the Chesapeake Bay

Ravinskas, Jennifer (2014-10-07)

For the last century, the local population of Chesapeake Bay Peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) has been fluctuating in its abundance, making genetic diversity difficult to assess (Johnson et al., 2010). Recently, the ...
Genome Wide Association Studies Discovering Genetic Susceptibility Alleles for Human Cancers

Wang, Zhaoming (2013-08)

GENOME WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDIES DISCOVERING GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY ALLELES FOR HUMAN CANCERS
GENOMIC RESOURCES FOR CRYPTOSPORIDIUM SPECIES, HUMAN PATHOGENS OF PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Ifeonu, Olukemi O (2017)

Cryptosporidium species are intracellular protozoan parasites, members of the phylum Apicomplexa that can infect the intestinal or gastric epithelial tissue of vertebrates, causing diarrhea. In immunocompromised individuals ...
Geo-Demographic Analysis of the Alabama Black Belt 1910 -2010

Prior, John W II

This thesis determines that the Alabama Black Belt evolved differently than other regions in Alabama during the post-cotton era 1910-2010. This thesis first quantifies the extent of Alabama Black Belt during the ante-bellum ...
Geo-Fingerprinting of Social Media Content

Gazaz, Hatim

With the percentage of Twitter users approaching 20% of the US population by 2019, tweets provide a good sample of the public’s sentiment and opinion. Consequently such data has been excessively used in commercial and ...
Geographic Placement Stability of Children in Foster Care

Kulbicki, Kathryn Mary (2022)

Children placed in the foster care system are some of the most vulnerable children due to the abuse and neglect that they experienced that led them to foster care. Once these children enter foster care, they continue to ...
A Geographical Analysis of Optimal Queue Locations for Autonomous Vehicles

Heuwinkel, Jeffrey Raak

As autonomous vehicles (AVs) get introduced in urban areas, the problem of effectively and efficiently serving the population needs to be addressed. This thesis explores AV introduction into cities, population density and ...
Geographical History and Infraspecific Morphological Variation of American Cow-Wheat (Melampyrum lineare; Orobanchaceae)

Oldham, Karoline (2015-08-06)

The wildflower American cow-wheat (Melampyrum lineare Desr.) is the sole North American species of an otherwise Eurasian genus. There are four purported varieties of M. lineare, though it has not been thoroughly determined ...
The Geography of Anonymous Communications: Predicting Escalation of Anonymity Networks During Events of Civil Unrest

Sandberg, Brian

Civil unrest can trigger escalation of anonymous communication to conceal user identity for protection or to circumvent censorship. Anonymization tools such as the Tor Network can support planning, orchestrating, or ...
The Geography of Cloud-To-Ground Lightning in Yellowstone National Park

Amrhein, Ed

Yellowstone National Park is well known for its vivid and diverse landscape, its abundance of wildlife, and its wildfires such as the 1988 “Summer of Fire”. Yellowstone is also well known for its volcanic activity-the cause ...
The Geography of Significant Colorants: Antiquity to the Twentieth Century

Zagorski, Melissa (2007-12-19)

This thesis attempts to answer the question: Where does color come from? In order to answer this question, a rigorous analysis of art-related, chemical, scientific, and geographical literature was required in order to ...
Geometric Phase in Quantum Computation

Thomas, JT (2016)

A fundamental challenge of quantum computation is being able to scale up a large number of high fidelity quantum gates while noise and error are affecting the gate’s physical control parameters. This dissertation focuses ...
The Geometry of the Quotient Stack Arising From a Stacky Fan

Johannsen, David Andrew (2013-08)

A quotient stack, [Z/G], is a geometric object that models the quotient of a space, Z, by the action of a Lie group, G, while carrying additional structure at the singularities. Quotient stacks generalize toric varieties, ...
