Identification of the N-Terminal Heparin Binding Site of Rat Tyrosine Hydroxylase
(1994)
The first step in catecholamine biosynthesis is the hydroxylation of tyrosine to form dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). This step is rate-limiting and is catalyzed by the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase. This enzyme binds heparin ...
Modeling Natural Gas Combustion in Laminar and Turbulent Chemically Reactive Flows
(1994)
The combustion of CH4 in air is examined through the use of computational fluid dynamics modeling. The standard laminar and turbulent case conservation equations are revised or in some instances replaced with non-differential ...
Her Masculine Strength of Mind: The Influence of Desiderius Erasmus Upon the Education of Women in Renaissance England
(1997)
This research discusses the transition in the thinking of the sixteenth-century monk Desiderius Erasmus on the education of women. At first he regarded women as intellectual inferiors, but eventually he recognized that ...
"Differential Detection of GMSK Signals Corrupted by AWGN and a Doppler Shift"
(1996)
The purpose of my research was to support the design of a DSP microprocessor-based receiver for a satellite communication system supervised by my thesis advisor, Dr. Costas Georghiades. Dr. Georghiades and his graduate ...
Experimental Design of an Active Antenna for Radio Frequency Identification Applications
(1997)
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is the process of acquiring information by use of electromagnetic energy. These systems are completely noncontact and often utilize microwave components. The need for smaller components, ...
Determination of Asymmetric Cell Division in the Drosophila Larval Central Nervous System
(1997)
Neuroblasts in the central nervous system of Drosophila have been increasingly utilized as a model for stem-cell study due to their clearly defined asymmetric division pattern and ease of genetic, cellular, and molecular ...
Snow White?: The Tarnished History of Gender Portrayal in Disney Animated Films
(1996)
How are males and females portrayed in full-length animated features? This research analyzes gender portrayal in five Disney films released in the 1990s: The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Snow White and ...
Replication and Long Distance Transport of Tobacco Etch Virus in Plants Dependent upon Helper Component-Protease
(1994)
Potyviruses belong to the picornavirus-like supergroup of positive-strand RNA viruses 6. Potyviruses form the largest and most economically important group of plant viruses 7. This group includes such viruses as potato Y ...
Effects of Uteroferrin on Hematopoietic Parameters in Normal Pigs
(1994)
Uteroferrin (UF), a progesterone-induced acid phosphatase from pig uterus (also called Type 5 tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) and a secretory product of human placenta (human UF, hUF), is responsible for transplacental ...
Identification of phytoplankton species found in digestive tracts of northern anchovies
(1993)
In 1991, the neurotoxin, domoic acid, contaminated northern anchovies (.Engraulis mordax Girard) in Monterey Bay, California. Over 100 brown pelicans and Brandt’s cormorants died after consuming the contaminated anchovies. ...
