Circadian rhythms in a wide variety of cellular and metabolic processes are well documented in many organisms. An important step in understanding the molecular basis of the circadian clock is the characterization of clock-controlled genes. mRNA...

Background. Strengthening the role of primary care is considered a key element in improving the outcomes and efficiency of health care delivery. Previous studies of the benefits of primary care have primarily examined the association of primary...
Lowest order charged particle motion in the Earth''s magnetosphere can be explained using simple adiabatic theory. However, nonadiabatic theory is required to explain particle behavior in cases such as when the particle's gyroradius is large...
A 62 kDa (p62) mitotic apparatus-associated protein has been shown to be important for the proper progression of mitosis in sea urchin embryos. The thesis project described here focuses on an immunological and a molecular characterization of p62....
Hyperthermia, the elevation of tissue temperature from 42°C to 50°C, is currently being investigated as an adjunct to radiation therapy in the treatment of cancer. The interstitial microwave antenna array hyperthermia (IMAAH) system is designed...
Eating disorders are a persistent problem for women on college campuses across the country, and peer education programs are one method that colleges have employed to address these concerns. A previous study found that peer education is actually...
Mitotic apparatuses from sea urchin embryos contain a protein (p62), previously shown to be required for mitotic progression. This protein localizes to the mitotic apparatus during cell division in urchin embryos and mammalian tissue culture cells....
Light scattering from tissue originates from the fluctuations in intra-cellular and extra-cellular components, so it is possible that macroscopic scattering spectroscopy could be used to quantify sub-microscopic structures. Both electron microscopy...

Thousands of adolescents try their first cigarette each day, and many of these adolescents go on to become adult smokers who will die from smoking-related causes. This thesis examines the role of movie portrayals of smoking as a predictor of...
Cataclysmic variable stars are a broad class of close binary systems in which matter is transferred from a normal secondary star onto a white dwarf. This thesis reports spectroscopy of a number of examples, aimed mostly at clarifying the underlying...

The synchronization of a circadian clock to the outside environment is a crucial step in the daily life of most organisms. Light and temperature signals help an organism reset its circadian clock. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, a number...

Whom we e-mail, where we browse, what we purchase, and the things we search for on the World Wide Web all leave identifiable traces of who we are as individuals. In today's technology focused landscape, cyberspace represents the new environment in...
Problem Statement Patient safety in the modern hospital is supported by multiple human and technological systems, and this type of high-risk/high-complexity domain requires multiple layers of protection against harm. This fault-tolerant approach is...
Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease is an autosomal, recessive, neurovisceral disorder associated with defects in cholesterol and glycolipid trafficking and metabolism, leading to the accumulation of cholesterol in the late endosomes and lysosomes....

The edge of the Internet is increasingly wireless. Enterprises large and small, homeowners, and even whole cities have deployed Wi-Fi networks for their users, and many users never need to--or never bother to--use the wired network. With the advent...
Chapter 1: Munchnones and mesoionic heterocycles The reactivity, regioselectivity, and synthetic applications of munchnones (1,3-oxazolium-5-olates) is a common theme which runs through Chapters 2-5. The definition, structure, and reactivity of...
Acyl-CoA:Cholesterol Acyltransferases (ACATs) are key enzymes in cellular cholesterol metabolism. ACAT converts free cholesterol to cholesterol ester, which makes it more easily storable in lipid droplets. There are two ACAT genes encoding two...
