A Study Of The Function Of Two Nuclear Transport Retrogenes (dntf-2r And Ran-like) In Drosophila Melanogaster
(Biology, 2014-12)
The genetic information, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), is the hereditary material that forms the basis for the origin and evolution of life. These molecules encode and store information that can ...
Some Considerations Of Performance And Capacity Of Voice Over IP High Bit Rate Wireless Reverse Links
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-12)
Evaluation of the performance and capacity of the wireless reverse links, that support concurrent voice over IP and packet data services, is important for spectral efficiency considerations. For a given traffic mix, this ...
Art At The End Of The World: Bioart And Posthuman Ethics In The Anthropocene
(English, 2014-12)
Bioart is a vital contemporary aesthetic movement that involves the use of animate matter (such as animal bodies or DNA) and is generative of productive encounters between theoretical methodologies of posthumanism, new ...
Continuing Narratives Of The Pharmakos: Trans-ethical Perspectives Through The Liminal Performativity Of Material Agencies In Drug Genre Film
(English, 2014-12)
In American film and television, the drug user or producer is often associated with narratives of the pharmakos, or "scapegoat," seemingly serving to expel the contamination of American identity and ethics. By analyzing ...
Electrowetting On Dielectric Digital Microfluidics For 3-dimensional Cell Culture And Chemical Screening
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
Microfluidic devices have allowed improved cell culture studies to be carried out by allowing greater spatiotemporal control over the cell environment while at the same time providing greater throughput, increased automation ...
Engaging Families In Literacy Education
(Social Work, 2014-12)
Parent/caregiver participation is an essential component of the literacy education process. Current school-directed methods of involving parents/caregivers have shown inconsistent results regarding student literacy outcomes. ...
Design And Fabrication Of Microfluidic Photoelectrochemical Reactors For Efficient Conversion Of Carbon Dioxide To Liquid Fuel
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
The world's energy demand is expected to increase dramatically over the next few decades. At the same time the availability of cheap fossil fuels is expected to decrease. In addition to the increase in energy cost, the use ...
Effects Of Environmental Stressors On The Immune Response Of The Caribbean Sea Fan, Gorgonia ventalina
(Biology, 2014-12)
Coral reef ecosystems are some of the most diverse on the planet and provide many important services such as fishery stock, tourism, and protection against storms. Despite this, coral reef ecosystems are on a steady rate ...
The Interplay Of Environmental Stressors On The Life History Traits In Daphnia lumholtzi
(Biology, 2014-12)
In natural environments, organisms face multiple stressors that threaten their persistence. Aquatic organisms respond to a change in environmental conditions by adaptively modifying the expression of traits (i.e., ...
Design And Evaluation Of An Immnunoevasive Carbon Nanotube Sheet-collagen Composite Neural Electrode
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-12)
Currently, long term neural interfacing is hindered by instability of the neural electrode-tissue interface. Many modes of electrode failure have been reported, though the tissue response to the foreign electrode body is ...
