Jmjd3, a histone H3K27 demethylase, regulates macrophage and T-cell differentiation, but its role in T-cell trafficking and persistence remains largely unknown. In this dissertation, I show that Jmjd3 deficiency in CD4^+ ...

Propylene/propane membrane based separation is one of the most challenging tasks in modern chemical industry due to their similar chemical and physical properties. Current most welldeveloped method of separating propylene/propane ...

Punishment in its varying forms and application is an integral part of American culture. As such, school punishment has received considerable attention from social scientists and legal scholars because classroom misbehavior ...

In order to reduce the transport and use of high enriched uranium for civilian applications, research reactor fuels are being converted to use low enriched uranium under the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors ...

Plant lipoxygenases (LOX) catalyze the production of oxylipins through the oxidization of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that are important in plant development and defense. LOXs can be divided into two groups, depending ...

In order to determine how sediment transport and alteration processes change the composition of sediment relative to source rock, Icelandic, basaltic fluvial and aeolian sediments were analyzed from the Þórisjökull glacial ...

The solution to the coupled multi-physics problem is of keen interest to the reactor physics community. Many methods have been developed to solve this system; however, they all have one common aspect: they require a large ...
