The confluence of patient, provider, and system level factors contributes to excess mortality due to preventable medical conditions among people with serious mental illness (SMI) compared to the general population. Study one explored how...
Van Allen radiation belts -- Mathematical models. Electrons -- Diffusion -- Mathematical models. Magnetohydrodynamic waves -- Mathematical models.
It is becoming increasingly important to understand the dynamics of radiation belt energetic particles given their potentially hazardous effects on satellites and our ever-increasing dependence on those satellites. There is a need to determine...
Humans have a seemingly unique capacity to reflect upon information about the self to form evaluative attitudes that influence their quality of life and predict mental health outcomes. While psychologists have devoted decades of research to the...
Yeast vacuole fusion involves three transmembrane SNAREs and a unique soluble SNARE, Vam7p. This SNARE cycles between vacuolar membrane-bound and cytosolic state. In its membrane-bound state, it is able to participate in vacuolar fusion by...
Semen is the major vector for sexual transmission of HIV worldwide, yet little is known about its role in modulating mucosal transmission of HIV. Understanding the impact of semen on mucosal transmission of HIV could open up novel means of...
Emergency medical response requires timely and efficient assessment and treatment of casualties. Mass casualty situations, in particular, strain the resources of emergency responders, prompting the need for a well-organized, effective, automated...
Social perception -- Physiological aspects. ; Prefrontal cortex -- Physiology.
From the most minimal of person information, such as a photograph or a sentence, people are able to rapidly infer a multitude of complex personality traits. These social inferences are thought to rely upon cognitive representations of person...
Ataxia telangiectasia -- Molecular aspects.
DNA damage.
Cell cycle -- Regulation.
Antineoplastic agents.
Cancer cells -- Growth -- Regulation.
Medical Term Cell cycle proteins.
DNA can be damaged by many endogenous and exogenous factors. In response to DNA damage, cells activate cell cycle checkpoints to stop the cell cycle and allow time for repair of the damage. Defects in these pathways allow replication to continue...
Stigma (Social psychology). Aging -- Psychological aspects. Cognition -- Age factors. Older people -- Attitudes.
Extensive research on aging has demonstrated that normal aging debilitates executive function, a system that is critical for regulating stereotypes. However, there is a paucity of research on whether age-related declines to executive function...
WC-1 and WC-2 are essential for most light responses in Neurospora crassa, but the molecular mechanisms underlying gene induction and the roles of other real and putative photoreceptors remain poorly characterized. Unsupervised hierarchical...
The coordination and coupling of the several steps in mRNA biogenesis helps to ensure proper regulation of gene expression. The DEAD-box helicase Dbp5/Rat8 is an essential mRNA export factor that has also been implicated in other steps of mRNA...
Immune response -- Regulation. Tretinoin. T cells. B cells. Plasma cells. Immunity.
Adaptive immunity licenses higher organisms to generate potent immune responses against foreign antigens. Two hallmarks of adaptive immunity are A) the ability of T and B cells to distinguish self from non-self and B) the ability to mount a...
Human cancer is developed as the consequence of the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppression genes. Modern sciences has identified and characterized the functions of such genes to understand the mechanism of cancer development...
Production of fuel ethanol from cellulosic materials is a potentially attractive way to meet sustainability, energy security, and environmental goals. However, the high cost of processing using current technology has thus far prevented...
Prior research has shown that people with high and low self-esteem respond differently to rejection and failure. These differential responses may be due to the expectations people hold about their future acceptance by others and may be linked to...
The efficacy of many chemotherapeutic agents can be attenuated by expression of the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2, Bcl-X and Mcl-1. When ML-1 leukemia cells are incubated with vinblastine, they rapidly upregulate Mcl-1. Suppression of Mcl-1 with...
Coal combustion remains an important source of toxic metal emissions. Dilute concentrations and poor understanding of their chemistries hinders reduction of these emissions. This thesis examines the chemistry of the trace metals arsenic and mercury...
Alumni Magazine June 1951; The Mohawk Valley Alumni heard the latest new of the College when Don Cameron '35 spoke as guest of honro at a dinner held April 4. Front row (l to r): William Calli '45, 2nd vice-president; Don Cameron '35; Earl Liberty...
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) facilitates communication between parts of the Internet by determining paths by which data can get from one network to any other. Just as IP is used ubiquitously as an addressing scheme, BGP is used ubiquitously...
Recent technological advances have fostered the emergence of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which consist of tiny, wireless, battery-powered nodes that are expected to revolutionize the ways in which we understand and construct complex physical...
Recent years have witnessed a new class of monitoring applications that need to continuously collect information from remote data sources. Those data sources, such as web click-streams, stock quotes, and sensor data, are often characterized as...
In a variety of applications spanning mobile devices, performance computing, and even renewable energy and automotive, power management and power delivery are an increasing bottleneck in reducing size and cost, improving reliability, and even...
The oculomotor system needs up-to-date information about eye position in order to make accurate saccades to stimuli in the environment. This thesis investigated how well the oculomotor system uses information about eye position to make a variety of...
Quality of life -- Evaluation. ; Health status indicators. ; Psychiatric rating scales. ; Mental illness -- Treatment -- Evaluation. ; Mental illness -- Treatment -- Economic aspects. ; Mental illness -- Treatment -- Social aspects.
Background. It is not clear whether a generic quality-of-life instrument can appropriately represent severe mental illness in an economic evaluation. This problem is particularly salient for resource-allocation decisions where policymakers compare...
The identification and characterization of functional genetic variation is essential for future advances in molecular diagnostics, pharmacogenomics, and personalized medicine. Recent attempts at identifying nucleotide level variation (somatic...
I present new wide-field photometry of several globular clusters including: BVI ground-based photometry and VI space-based photometry for the globular cluster M92 (NGC 6341) BVI photometry for M2 (NGC 7089), M3 (NGC 5272), and M14 (NGC 6402) and...
