SPATIAL ECOLOGY OF DEEP-SEA BENTHOS FOR MANAGEMENT OF MARINE PROTECTED AREAS
(2024-03-25)
Deep-water corals, sponges, and other animals play functional roles, such as providing habitat, promoting diversity in seafloor communities in the deep sea. Little is known about the spatial organization of these vulnerable ...
Queer Kinship: an [Art]iculation
(2024-03-24)
Creativity and arts-based research methods bring value to anthropology because artistic expression can and should be used as a gateway into personal experience. Queer kinship studies have highlighted the importance of ...
Exploring the Nature and Transfer of Orthographic Learning within the Self-Teaching Hypothesis
(2024-03-28)
The transition to being a skilled, fluent reader is an important focus of early education and, as such, of research on reading development. A prominent theory, the self-teaching hypothesis (Share, 2008), describes how this ...
Identifying RING-type E3s involved in nutrient stress responses in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2024-03-26)
The Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) is a eukaryotic protein degradation system that regulates nutrient uptake and translocation through mediating the degradation of enzymes, transporters, signalling proteins, transcription ...
"It's a black thang maybe": Postmodem Racism in Percival Everett's Erasure
(2007-08)
This thesis examines the nature and consequence of Percival Everett's engagement with the contemporary phenomenon of postmodern racism in his novel 'Erasure'. To avoid perpetuating the idea that a critic is responsible for ...
FINDING STRUCTURE IN THE PHYLOGENY SEARCH SPACE
(2015)
A phylogenetic tree is a graphical representation of inferred evolutionary relationships between a set of species or taxa. Phylogenetic trees play an important role in diverse research fields, including molecular biology, ...
GETTING UNDER THE SKIN OF FIBROSIS: A FUNCTION FOR MAST CELLS IN THE PROGRESSION AND RESOLUTION OF DERMAL FIBROSIS, AND AN ANTI-FIBROTIC FUNCTION FOR KETOTIFEN ON DERMAL FIBROBLASTS
(2024-03-27)
Fibrosis is a pathological feature of many chronic inflammatory and fibroproliferative diseases, characterized by an excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins within tissues and organs. This pathological ...
Genomic Studies of Reproductive Performance and Fur Quality Traits in American Mink
(2024-03-28)
This thesis aimed to enhance reproductive performance and pelt quality traits in American mink
(Neogale vison) using genomics approaches. Chapter 3 involved estimation of genetic and
phenotypic parameters for pelt quality ...
INCREASING LIMITS OF ENVIRONMENTAL DNA DETECTION USING THE ENDANGERED ATLANTIC WHITEFISH (COREGONUS HUNTSMANI) AS A TEST CASE
(2024-04-01)
Environmental (e)DNA analysis offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional aquatic monitoring, but it can struggle to detect species at very low abundances. Here, I developed a novel eDNA marker targeting the SmaI-corII ...
STUDY OF SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF MASONRY INFILLED RC FRAMES
(2024-03-30)
This thesis was motivated to investigate the seismic behaviour and seismic performance of concrete masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frame systems. In this case, the masonry infills are constructed in tight contact ...
