USING A TRANSGENIC ZEBRAFISH MODEL TO IDENTIFY DOWNSTREAM THERAPEUTIC TARGETS IN HIGH-RISK, NUP98-HOXA9-INDUCED MYELOID DISEASE

Adam, Deveau (2016-01-14)

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a genetic disease whereby sequential genetic aberrations alter essential white blood cell development leading to differentiation arrest and hyperproliferation. Pertinent animal models serve ...

Using Adaptive and Fisheries Management to Increase MPA Success: A Case Study of the Gilbert Bay MPA [graduate project].

MacDonald, Teresa (2016)

The Gilbert Bay Marine Protected Area (MPA) was established in 2005 with the purpose of conserving the genetically discrete Gilbert Bay cod subpopulation. However, following the implementation of the MPA the cod subpopulation ...

Using an Aural Classifier to Discriminate Cetacean Vocalizations

Binder, Carolyn (2012-04-05)

To positively identify marine mammals using passive acoustics, large volumes of data are often collected that need to be processed by a trained analyst. To reduce acoustic analyst workload, an automatic detector can be ...

Using an Optical Sensor of Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis to Investigate the Relationship Between Release Probability and Paired-Pulse Plasticity at Individual Hippocampal Synapses

Chafe, Kristen (2016-04-29)

Release probability (Pr) is a determinant of synaptic strength that varies considerably between synapses, and correlates with the size of the readily releasable pool (RRP) of synaptic vesicles. Short-term plasticity is ...
