(2024-01-25)Department: PsychologyThe ability of organisms to learn and form memories based on experience and to use these memories flexibly in different situations is a hallmark of cognitive evolutionary processes. The neural basis for this ability, ...
-
(2024-02-05)Department: Microbe-Host InteractionsExtracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound structures that range in size and play a key role in cell-cell communication. Many viruses employ host cell-derived EVs as vehicles of egress. EV-mediated viral transport may ...
-
(2024-01-24)Department: Civil EngineeringAccurately and efficiently predicting the mechanical behavior of structures made of polycrystalline materials presents many challenges and complications. Because of highly complex evolution laws that govern viscoplastic ...
-
(2024-01-30)Department: Cell & Developmental BiologyThe Wnt-beta-catenin signal transduction pathway is essential for animal development and adult tissue homeostasis. Wnt signaling promotes stabilization of beta-catenin, which translocates to the nucleus and binds to TCF/LEF ...

-
(2024-02-05)Department: Environmental EngineeringDiffuse CO2 emissions from Quaternary volcanic calderas in the western United States have been well characterized at Yellowstone National Park (YNP) but not Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP), and diffuse CH4 emissions ...
-
(2024-01-31)Department: Mechanical EngineeringUnilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is a condition in which one side of the vocal fold loses its adduction function and thus the vocal fold cannot vibrate normally, leading to difficulties in voice production. In type-1 ...

(2023-12-20)Department: Electrical EngineeringArbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) are not typically feasible as subsystems on integrated circuits due to their size and complexity, but they are versatile circuits that are broadly useful. The purpose of this work is ...
-
(2024-02-06)Department: Chemical EngineeringThe skin serves as the body’s primary barrier against external chemicals and pathogens as well as water loss. This protective function is localized to the skin’s outermost layer, the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum ...
-
(2024-01-24)Department: Electrical EngineeringWith the escalating complexity of Deep Neural Network (DNN) tasks, heterogeneous computing systems are widely employed in real-time, safety-critical systems like autonomous vehicles. These systems, while highly versatile ...
-
(2024-03-18)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceAt just one atom thick, the pristine lattices of two dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, have unique barrier properties which enable selective transport of protons over nanoscale species. Upon introduction of ...
-
(2024-02-29)Department: Biomedical InformaticsClinical risk prediction models trained on electronic health record (EHR) data can support clinicians in decision making by estimating prognostic risk. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) risk modeling presents particular ...
-
(2024-03-18)Department: PhysicsOne primary goal of particle physics is to examine the properties of particles and the forces by which they interact. Although physicists have previously used a theoretical framework called the Standard Model (SM) to ...
-
(2024-02-28)Department: BiochemistryTranscription is dysregulated in the majority of human cancers. Understanding how normal transcriptional programs are dysregulated in cancers is crucial to understanding how cancers develop and successfully treating them. ...
-
(2024-02-27)Department: Microbe-Host InteractionsColonization of the human stomach by Helicobacter pylori is the primary risk factor for development of gastric cancer. H. pylori infection stimulates a gastric mucosal inflammatory response and can trigger a cascade of ...
-
(2024-03-24)Department: Law & EconomicsThis dissertation examines The Efficacy of Risk Assessment Instruments in Juvenile Pretrial Detention.
-
(2024-02-23)Department: PsychologyHow do people decide what is true and what is false? Decades of psychological research shows that one factor affecting these judgements is repetition: the more a person sees a statement, the more likely they are to believe ...
-
(2024-02-26)Department: ReligionThis dissertation delves into the multifaceted exploration of Afro-Caribbean feminist activism in Puerto Rico, shedding light on its significance and impact within the context of ongoing colonization. It critically examines ...
-
(2024-02-19)Department: Molecular Physiology & BiophysicsMultiple studies have shown that elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels are associated with increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and many other conditions. Given the biological importance of FBG, genetic ...
