(2017-11-29)Department: NeuroscienceContributions of Metallo-Beta-Lactamase Domain Containing Protein 1 (MBLAC1) to the Neurobiological Actions of Ceftriaxone Cassandra Lynn Retzlaff Dissertation under the direction of Professor Randy Blakely, PhD Recently ...
-
(2011-09-02)Department: Biological SciencesThis project explores the synthesis of heterogeneous G1-3T yeast telomere sequences by the enzyme telomerase. I demonstrate that a mutant in the essential N-terminal TEN domain of Est2p (telomerase reverse transciptase), ...
-
(2019-02-12)Department: Chemical and Physical BiologyReplication of our genes requires unwinding of DNA and generating the new complementary strands for both leading and lagging parental strands. The DNA polymerases that generate the complementary strands require a short ...

-
(Cornell Law Review, 2013)Apologies usually help to repair social relationships and appease aggrieved parties. Previous research has demonstrated that in legal settings, apologies influence how litigants and juries evaluate both civil and criminal ...
-
(2017-05-10)Department: Electrical EngineeringTraditional upper extremity prostheses are comprised of an elbow joint and a terminal device (often either a split-hook or a hand) and have typically been limited to a single control input. In the case of a myoelectric ...
-
(2016-07-22)Department: Mechanical EngineeringThis thesis describes the control and assessment of a powered transfemoral prosthesis for improving amputee stair ascent. It begins with motivation for the work and a description of current lower-limb prosthetic technology. ...
-
(2012-03-31)Department: Computer ScienceIn the past decade, distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems have emerged as an interesting and challenging class of target applications within the mission critical software domain. Examples of existing DRE systems ...
-
(2019-07-15)Department: Mechanical EngineeringWearable, powered lower-limb orthoses have begun to emerge as viable assistive devices for individuals with mobility impairments. Control approaches for powered lower-limb orthoses have focused on leg kinematics rather ...
-
(2014-05-15)Department: Mechanical EngineeringThis dissertation describes the development and testing of control systems for powered transfemoral prostheses. The work is divided into seven chapters, with five distinct contributions. Chapter I provides introductory ...
-
(2018-09-25)Department: Mechanical EngineeringDescribed herein are rehabilitative intervention methods that: 1) enable paraplegics to ascend and descend stairs with a lower limb exoskeleton; 2) enhance exoskeleton assisted walking with supplemental FES to overcome ...
-
(2015-04-14)Department: Mechanical EngineeringPhysiologic control of purposeful movement requires continuous interactions between the sensory and motor systems. When physiological control loops are disrupted, as is the case in individuals with limb amputations or ...
-
(2017-08-24)Department: Mechanical EngineeringThis dissertation presents the motivation, development, and evaluation of controllers for powered lower limb prostheses. This document contains five chapters, three of which discuss individual contributions. Chapter I ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Medical Center, 2007-09-24)A great deal is being presented and published on control of blood sugar in the ICU as well as the postoperative period. How much control is enough and what is the data?
-
(2006-09-18)Department: Mechanical EngineeringThis dissertation presents three control methodologies for pneumatic applications in both free space and constrained environment with system and environmental uncertainties. First, a model reference adaptive controller ...
-
(2020-02-17)Department: Biological SciencesIn the nervous system, Wnts act as potent regulators of synaptic connectivity, architecture, neurotransmission strength and activity-dependent plasticity. As the founding Wnt, Drosophila Wingless (Wg) has key roles at the ...
