A MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF PROTEIN TRAFFICKING IN THE VERTEBRATE RETINA: IMPLICATIONS FOR INTRAFLAGELLAR TRANSPORT AND DISEASE
(2010-07-14)
Vertebrate photoreceptors are highly specialized sensory neurons that utilize a
modified cilium known as the outer segment to detect light. Proper trafficking of
proteins to the outer segment is essential for photoreceptor ...
Characterizations of Cation/H+ Antiporters from Arabidopsis and Zebrafish
(2010-07-14)
To maintain optimal cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations, cells employ three distinct
strategies: 1) tightly regulated influx of Ca2+; 2) efficient efflux of Ca2+ from the cell; 3)
sequestration of Ca2+ in organelles. Ca2+efflux ...
Microtubule Patterning and Manipulation Using Electrophoresis and Self-Assembled Monolayers
(2010-07-14)
We developed new methods for controlling and studying microtubules (MTs) outside the
complex workings of the living cell. Several surface treatments for preventing MT
fouling on surfaces were analyzed and, for the first ...
Treatment Acceptability of Social Skills Programs for Children with Autism: The Influence of Ethnicity, Age, and Problem Severity
(2010-10-12)
This study compared the treatment acceptability of four social skills interventions
that are commonly used with children with autism, as rated by parents of children with
autism spectrum disorders, general education teachers, ...
Streamline Assisted Ensemble Kalman Filter - Formulation and Field Application
(2010-10-12)
The goal of any data assimilation or history matching algorithm is to enable better reservoir management decisions through the construction of reliable reservoir performance models and the assessment of the underlying ...
Perceptions of Power: A Comparison of Perceptions of the Organizational Power of IT Departments
(2010-10-12)
There is a gap in the literature concerning personal perceptions of one's own
power in organizations. Information Technology (IT) personnel are positioned to be an
excellent target group for researching this subject. Status ...
Cause-Related Sport Marketing and Its Effects on Consumer Behavior
(2010-10-12)
The objective of this dissertation was to construct a customer-based cause-related
sport marketing (CRSM) model and test the relationships among the proposed
antecedents, consequences, and moderators. Three experimental ...
The Regulation of Salmonella Typhi Vi Capsular Antigen Expression in Intestinal Model Epithelia and the Bovine Ligated-Ileal Loop Model
(2010-10-12)
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, a major public health concern in developing countries, continues to be a priority for the World Health Organization. S. Typhi possesses a viaB locus responsible for the biosynthesis of ...
Modified (Q, r) Inventory Control Policy for an Assemble-to-Order Environment
(2010-10-12)
The traditional (Q,r) inventory control model assumes that the date at which the order is entered is the same as the date at which it is requested or expected to be delivered. Hence, the penalty cost is incurred when the ...
Randomized and Deterministic Parameterized Algorithms and Their Applications in Bioinformatics
(2010-07-14)
Parameterized NP-hard problems are NP-hard problems that are associated with
special variables called parameters. One example of the problem is to find simple
paths of length k in a graph, where the integer k is the ...
