Structural and Functional Analysis of the Helicobacter pylori Response Regulator ArsR
(2009-08-05)
The ArsRS two-component system (TCS), comprised of a sensor histidine kinase (HK) ArsS and a response regulator (RR) ArsR, contributes to pH-responsive gene regulation in Helicobacter pylori. In a typical TCS, a specific ...
Shedding Light on the Yeast Respiratory Oscillation: Using Luciferase and Visible Light to Investigate Biological Rhythms in Yeast
(2009-09-01)
The yeast respiratory oscillation is a 3 to 5 hour biological rhythm in some strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that occurs under a specific range of growth conditions during continuous culture. The cell division cycle, ...
Modeling human prostate cancer development using transgenic mice with heterogeneous mutations
(2009-09-11)
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men. Although much progress has been made in identifying the genetic alterations that underlie this disease, there remains a gap in our understanding of how ...
More than a panic: correlates of the importance of drugs and unemployment
(2009-09-18)
This paper proposes a modified research design for moral panic research and research investigating the importance of social problems generally. The paper argues that a more appropriate research design for the importance ...
High-throughput analysis of tissue microarrays of disease: combining in situ proteomics with MALDI imaging mass spectrometry
(2009-08-04)
Biological systems are extremely complex and new tools are necessary to effectively enhance our knowledge and understanding of their underlying mechanisms. Mass spectrometry has proven to be an essential technology for ...
Understanding the physics of X-ray emission in young stars
(2009-07-28)
The goals of the research presented in this dissertation are to better understand the characteristics of the X-ray emitting plasmas of young stars and the physical mechanisms that produce the emission. We seek to achieve ...
Politics and Motherhood in the Cold War: The American Public Relations Forum, Women Strike for Peace, and Maternalism as a Mobilizing Strategy
(2009-07-25)
In the 1950s, the conservative New Right experienced its initial stirrings in a grassroots level movement dedicated to routing out communism and perceived socialism in the United States. At the forefront of this movement ...
Globalization and the Business Cycle
(2009-07-27)
This dissertation studies the effect of globalization, specifically increased international trade and financial integration, on various aspects of the international business cycle.The second chapter, "Globalization and ...
Synthesis and structures of main group organometallic complexes with sterically bulky allyl ligands
(2009-07-25)
This work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of substituted allyl complexes of alkali metals and post-transition elements. The use of bulky trimethylsilyl substituents on the allyl ligands has afforded isolable ...
Potentially tsunamigenic layer in late Holocene Great South Bay, Long Island, New York: constraints on origins, processes, and effects
(2009-07-27)
Sediment core and seismic data was collected and analyzed in order to study the late Holocene geologic history in the Great South Bay estuary, Long Island, New York. The data reveals a distinct and anomalous deposit whose ...
