Investigations into the Biosynthesis, Derivatization, and Purification of Jadomycins
(2015-04-06)
Nature produces many clinically used medicines in the form of natural products. These compounds can be isolated from a variety of sources, but bacteria have been shown to be the most prolific source. The strain Streptomyces ...
Thematic Development of Recovery, Remanufacturing, and Support Models for Sustainable Supply Chains
(2015-03-23)
The long-term availability of our resources depends on the reduction of their consumption. One method to achieve this goal is to encourage product remanufacturing, as the production of remanufactured products typically ...
Using Social Media Data to Improve Navigation within Websites
(2015-04-08)
People often use navigation mechanisms such as menus, search, links and browser tools to find information within websites. The purpose of this research was to explore how user-generated content on social media can be used ...
Airway Impedance, Heterogeneity and Variability in Adult Asthma
(2015-04-14)
While bronchodilator (BD) reversibility is a feature of asthma, the relative contributions of small and large airways to BD is unclear, and the effect of small-airway heterogeneity on respiratory system impedance, Zrs has ...
THE COGNITIVE CONSEQUENCES OF FORGETTING: AN INVESTIGATION OF IOR IN ITEM-METHOD DIRECTED FORGETTING
(2015-04-20)
This dissertation investigated the occurrence of an increased magnitude of inhibition of return (IOR) after Forget (F) compared to Remember (R) memory instructions using a directed forgetting cueing paradigm. In such a ...
System-driven Research: Legitimate Experimental Design for Biological/biomedical Research
(2015-03-30)
Exciting new high-throughput methodologies permit innovative experimental designs for current biological and biomedical research. Much of this research is “non-hypothesis-driven”: its experiments are not designed around a ...
WINSTON 'HANGING HAIRY FROM A BRANCH'?: THE CREATION, DISSEMINATION AND VALIDITY OF A DUAL PORTRAIT OF WINSTON CHURCHILL AS BOTH RATIONAL AND PRESCIENT CONCERNING WORLD WAR TWO AND AN IRRATIONAL REACTIONARY TO INDIAN NATIONALISM
(2015-03-27)
A dual portrait of Winston Churchill exists in contemporaneous and historical commentary. Churchill is viewed as irrational and fossilized in his attitudes towards India during the interwar and wartime periods yet as a ...
Reduction In Inter-Symbol Interference Using Linear Prolate Functions
(2015-03-31)
In a baseband system, the digital information signal required to be transmitted over a channel, has a wide frequency spectrum. This wide frequency spectrum gets attenuated due to the band limited response of the filters ...
Roles of Myopodin in Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling and Cancer Cell Migration
(2015-04-28)
Loss of myopodin expression correlates with the transition from indolent to metastatic prostate cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying this correlation and the roles of myopodin in normal cell function have not been ...
SIMULATION OF A REDUCED RED BLOOD CELL SHELF LIFE
(2015-04-02)
Since the 1970’s, red blood cells have had a rated shelf life of 42 days. Recently, questions have been raised regarding the safety of transfusing "older" red blood cells. Evidence suggests that mortality increases with ...
