(2019-06-13)Department: NeuroscienceGlaucomatous Optic Neuropathy (glaucoma) challenges retinal ganglion cell axons through sensitivity to intraocular pressure (IOP). Axons rely upon astrocyte energy stores (glycogen) to combat neurodegenerative stress. We ...
-
(2016-04-12)Department: PhysicsIn chapter 1, we determine the masses, radii and temperatures of the eclipsing binary V578 Mon, a detached system of two early B-type stars in the Rosette Nebula, to better than 5% accuracy. We compare these measurements ...
-
(2018-04-18)Department: PhysicsEclipsing Binary stars (EBs) have long provided essential calibrations to stellar astrophysics and distance measurements. Recently, modern space-survey missions have allowed for determining the fundamental parameters of ...
-
(2006-06-21)Department: MathematicsThis work studies the behavior of the minimal discrete Riesz s-energy and best-packing distance on rectifiable sets as the cardinality N of point configurations gets large. We extend known asymptotic results for the ...
-
(2006-06-09)Department: MathematicsIn this dissertation we first study the Faber polynomials for a piecewise analytic Jordan curve $L$ without inner cusps (some extra conditions are additionally imposed on $L$). Let $Omega$ and $G$ be, repectively, the ...

ATP Citrate Lyase and mitochondrial membrane potential regulate hematopoietic cell fate and function (2023-03-23)Department: Molecular Pathology & ImmunologyIn addition to their role in bioenergetic homeostasis, mitochondria are increasingly appreciated as regulators of hematopoietic cell fate and function. Here, we demonstrate the role of ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) on murine ...

(Vanderbilt University. Medical Center, 2008-02-19)Atrial fibrillation is a common problem in ICU patients, but it is a problem with many potential causes, and not always a well defined treatment.
-
(Virginia Law Review, 2012)For a generation since Margaret Jane Radin’s classic article Property and Personhood, scholars have viewed personhood as a conception of property that affirms autonomy, dignity, and basic civil rights, a progressive ...

(2013-03-26)Department: PsychologyObjective. This study tested the Attachment-Diathesis Model of Chronic Pain (Meredith, Ownsworth, & Strong; 2008) in a group of adolescents and young adults with a history of pediatric functional abdominal pain (FAP). We ...
-
(2020-05-19)Department: PsychologyStressful experiences in early life can adversely influence long-term behavior, including in ways that propagate to individuals’ offspring. The mechanisms by which early life stress exerts effects that span generations are ...
