(2004-04-09)Department: Chemical EngineeringMethylglyoxal (MG) is a toxic compound which is produced in cells as a byproduct of glycolysis. Recently, the compound has been suggested as a damaging agent in batch cultures of production cell lines. In the current ...
-
(2012-07-24)Department: PhysicsCoal combustion residues from coal fired power plants are advantageous for use in building and construction materials. These by-products contain trace quantities of natural radionuclides from the uranium and thorium series, ...
-
(2007-06-21)Department: PathologyThis project is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms of prostate tumor initiation due the loss of the tumor suppressor gene Nkx3.1. Here, we examined the dosage-sensitive and stochastic target gene regulation ...
-
(2010-03-02)Department: Microbiology and ImmunologyCoronaviruses belong to a family of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses that cause a multitude of devastating diseases in both animals and humans. Like other positive-strand RNA viruses, coronaviruses utilize several ...

Analysis of parameter variation impact on the single event response in sub-100nm CMOS storage cells (2012-04-21)Department: Electrical EngineeringCurrent deep sub-micron technologies are particularly susceptible to single events. The challenge derives from a conglomeration of effects that affect circuits’ radiation response. For instance, decreasing device size ...
-
(2007-10-26)Department: Biological SciencesThe cerebellum, which forms from anterior hindbrain, coordinates motor movements and balance. Sensory input from the periphery is relayed and modulated by cerebellar interneurons, which are organized into layers. The ...

Analysis of power spectrum density of male speech as indicators for high risk and depressed decision (2017-01-09)Department: Electrical EngineeringAssessment of a patients risk of committing suicide is important in order for them to be able to receive early hospitalization. The two critical mental states that may arouse much confusion to the clinicians are the high ...
-
(2023-07-17)Department: PsychologyProcess data can provide researchers with valuable insights into students’ behaviors during reading and while completing assessments. However, the complex and messy nature of process data makes the extraction of useful ...
-
(2003-04-18)Department: Electrical EngineeringNumerical process and device simulation tools are used in this work to analyze the physical mechanisms that contribute to catastrophic failure of power Schottky diodes exposed to an electron beam pulse. Simulations suggest ...
-
(2011-07-11)Department: ChemistryNew highly sensitive strategies for the analysis of proteins from selected cell populations in morphologically complex tissues have been developed. These workflows combine the single cell specificity of laser capture ...
-
(2017-06-19)Department: MathematicsA fundamental problem in signal processing called signal reconstruction, or signal recovery, is the determination of a signal from a sequence of samples obtained from the signal. The sampling process can be viewed as ...
-
(2009-07-19)Department: Biological SciencesDuring spinal cord development, precursor cells transition from proliferative divisions to differentiative divisions. Traditionally proliferative divisions, which increase cell numbers, are thought to be symmetric, whereas ...
-
(2008-04-23)Department: Electrical EngineeringDynamic logic circuitry is generally faster and smaller than equivalent static logic circuits. The use of these circuits in space is desirable, but not much work has been performed in assessing their vulnerability to the ...
-
(2006-09-01)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe amount of charge required to represent a logic state in CMOS digital circuits has been reduced dramatically with the scaling of supply voltage and nodal capacitances, making radiation-induced single event effects ...
-
(2011-04-18)Department: Electrical EngineeringDepression is a potentially life threatening mood disorder which affects many people. Two thirds of the people with depression don‟t realize that depression is a treatable illness, only 50% of people diagnosed with major ...
-
(2014-03-29)Department: Electrical EngineeringPatients who are diagnosed with depression without appropriate clinical recognition of their hidden suicidal tendencies are at elevated risk of making suicide attempts. An important clinical problem remains the differentiation ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2019)Neuroimaging studies have suggested a difference in structural brain connectivity in depression. Recently, structural brain connectivity and psychopathology have been studied using graph theory analysis, which provides ...
-
(2015-07-20)Department: PhysicsIn this dissertation I present several different but related analyses of structure on both Galactic and extragalactic scales. I first investigate whether measurements of the moments of large-scale structure can yield ...
-
(2021-03-22)Department: Biomedical EngineeringTemporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of epilepsy, a debilitating disease that affects 50 million people globally. In TLE, seizure onset is typically localized to an epileptogenic zone (EZ) in the mesial ...
