METHODOLOGY AND APPLICATIONS IN IMPUTATION, FOOD CONSUMPTION AND OBESITY RESEARCH
(2010-07-14)
Obesity is a rapidly growing public health threat as well as an economic problem in the United States. The recent changes in eating habits, especially the relative increase of food away from home (FAFH) consumption over ...
Riding Waves of Dissent: Counter-Imperial Impulses in the Age of Fuller and Melville
(2010-10-12)
This dissertation examines the interplay between antebellum frontier literature and the counter-imperial impulses that impelled the era's political, cultural, and literary developments. Focusing on selected works by James ...
Post-fire Tree Establishment Patterns at the Subalpine Forest-Alpine Tundra Ecotone: A Case Study in Mount Rainier National Park
(2010-10-12)
Climatic changes have induced striking altitudinal and latitudinal vegetation
shifts throughout history. These shifts will almost certainly recur in the future;
threatening other flora and fauna, and influencing climate ...
Circuits attenuating seizures under well-fed and food-deprived conditions in C. elegans male sex muscles
(2010-07-14)
The circuits that allow organisms to control behavioral timing need to be tightly
regulated to ensure execution of appropriate environmental responses. Disrupting such
regulation results in individuals unable to perform ...

Ranching communities in Texas have long recognized fee hunting as a natural resource with the potential of directly affecting agricultural incomes. Hunting as an industry today, appears to be developing into an economic ...
Role of the Leucine Zipper of Marek's Disease Virus Oncoprotein Meq in Pathogenesis
(2010-07-14)
Marek's disease virus (MDV), the etiologic agent of Marek's disease, is a potent
oncogenic herpesvirus. MDV is highly contagious and elicits a rapid onset of malignant
T-cell lymphomas in chickens within several weeks after ...
A study of coherent nonlinear processes in dense media with continuous and pulsed laser fields
(2010-07-14)
Coherent nonlinear effects such as Electromagnetically Induced Transparency
(EIT), Coherent Population Trapping (CPT), and Slow light are studied in thermal
Rb vapor by both continuous and pulsed laser fields. This work ...
Nutrient Signaling, Mammalian Target of Rapamycin and Ovine Conceptus Development
(2010-07-14)
This research was conducted to test the hypothesis that select nutrients including
glucose, leucine, arginine and glutamine stimulate conceptus development by activating
mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin; HGNC approved ...
THROUGH-BOND ENERGY TRANSFER CASSETTES FOR MULTIPLEXING & DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS FOR PROTEIN MONO-LABELING
(2010-07-14)
A set of three through-bond energy transfer cassettes based on BODIPY as a donor
and cyanine dyes as acceptors has been prepared via Sonogashira couplings, and their
photophysical properties were examined. These cassettes ...
