ENVIRONMENT-DEPENDENT CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF MUTATION IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE
(2012-05-01)
Environmental effects on mutation have been documented for many years but have
concentrated on agents that directly interact with DNA. Mutation research in its early
history investigated a variety of more mundane ...
A Symbiotic Bid-Based Framework for Problem Decomposition using Genetic Programming
(2011-03-08)
This thesis investigates the use of symbiosis as an evolutionary
metaphor for problem decomposition using Genetic Programming. It
begins by drawing a connection between lateral problem decomposition,
in which peers with ...
Nitrogen Assimilation-Metabolism in Relation to Potassium Use in Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis)
(2010-12-15)
A field trial and a greenhouse experiment were conducted to investigate the impacts of N and K nutrients on plant N/K assimilation, nitrate reductase activity (NRA), curd yield and quality of cauliflower cv. ‘Minuteman’. ...

right. Certainly a success for water rights advocates worldwide, this resolution also poses
a number of questions, such as how to find and ...
Optimizing Genetically Encoded Calcium Indicators to Measure Presynaptic Calcium Transients
(2014-05-28)
Neurotransmitter release is modulated by multiple regulatory mechanisms that control several stages of synaptic vesicle (SV) exocytosis. At the final stage, SV fusion with the presynaptic membrane requires calcium influx ...
