(2004-11-09)Department: ChemistryCHEMISTRY NOVEL METHODS IN CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATIONS: NEW CHIRAL STATIONARY PHASES AND MOLECULAR TAGGING JORDAN DANIELLE HANEY BLODGETT Dissertation under the direction of Professor David M. Hercules A major obstacle ...
-
(2007-10-04)Department: Biomedical InformaticsIn health care, a widespread crisis of emergency department crowding has arisen from increasing patient demand and diminishing bed capacity. Predictable fluctuations in patient demand suggest that dynamic resource ...
-
(2008-07-21)Department: PhysicsTraditional particle sensing schemes are based on the resistive-pulse sensing technique. A non-conducting particle displaces a volume of electrolyte, equal to its own volume, from a sensing channel when it flows through. ...
-
(2015-11-27)Department: Biomedical EngineeringWith the advent of bionanotechnology, bioengineers utilize nanoscale tools to better characterize and modify biological processes in an effort to enhance medical applications. Most of these applications are single-purpose ...
-
(2012-04-11)Department: Chemical EngineeringThis research addresses the synthesis and development of biphasic, nanoporous composite materials for use in single pass filters of various types for the removal of light acidic and basic gases from humid air. Potential ...
-
(2018-09-18)Peri-articular injury may result in functional deficits and pain. In particular, post-traumatic elbow stiffness is a debilitating condition, precluding patients from performing activities of daily living. As such, clinicians ...
-
(2013-06-10)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyEpithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transformation (EMT) is an important process in development, and occurs during key steps in both valvular and coronary vessel development. This dissertation uses transcriptional profiling strategies ...
-
(2015-08-20)Department: Chemical and Physical BiologyThe loss of inhibition of glucagon secretion exacerbates hyperglycemia in types 1 and 2 diabetes. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate glucagon secretion in unaffected and diabetic states remain relatively ...
-
(2016-11-18)Department: Chemical and Physical BiologyThe development, validation, and application of novel methods to quantify glucose metabolism are presented in this thesis. The methodologies use stable isotope tracers, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and mathematical ...
-
(Journal of Neuroengineering and Rehabiliation, 2019-06-20)BackgroundThe experimental study of stumble recovery is essential to better understanding the reflexive mechanisms that help prevent falls as well as the deficiencies in fall-prone populations. This study would benefit ...
-
(2016-07-13)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceTranslocator protein (TSPO) represents an attractive target for molecular imaging and therapy due to its prevalence and critical roles played in oncology and other pathologies. Based upon our previously optimized ...

(2005-01-27)Department: BiochemistryActivation of the p75 neurotrophin receptor leads to a variety of effects within the nervous system, including neuronal apoptosis. Both c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and the tumor suppressor p53 have been reported to be ...
-
(Physical Review Letters, 2019-09-17)We report on the nuclear dependence of transverse single-spin asymmetries (TSSAs) in the production of positively charged hadrons in polarized p(up arrow) + p, p(up arrow) + Al, and p(up arrow) + Au collisions at root s(NN) ...
-
(2018-08-29)Department: PhysicsIdentified particle spectra provide an important tool for understanding the particle production mechanism and the dynamical evolution of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Studies ...
-
(2013-12-04)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyThe genome of a eukaryotic cell tightly packed within the nucleus with a high degree of structural organization. Two mechanisms accounting for nuclear structure and the dynamics of subnucler organization in S. cerevisiae ...
-
(2010-08-19)Department: PhysicsThis dissertation was completed by analyzing gamma-gamma-gamma coincidence data of 252Cf obtained with Gammasphere. A few neutron-rich nuclei in three different mass regions have been studied by establishing their level ...
-
(2016-04-26)Department: PharmacologyDysregulation of the mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system is a hallmark of the pathophysiology of drug addiction and many other prevalent diseases. The nucleus accumbens (NAc), a region essential for the incentive and hedonic ...
