PDZ protein-protein interaction domains recognize short linear motif (SLiM) sequences typically at the extreme C-terminus of a target protein. These domains often act as scaffolds, connecting target proteins to additional interaction and catalytic...

Many modern information management tasks consist of an observer that must maintain current knowledge of a collection of changing information. The goal of this observer is to maintain acceptably accurate state estimates given limited observation...
This dissertation explores the spatial and temporal distributions of impurities in natural ice. Using polarized light, ion chromatography (IC), synchrotron x-ray topography (SXT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive...
This thesis describes a new synthesis of substituted (3H)-1,2-dithiole-3-thiones (dithiolethiones) from readily available starting materials. Dithiolethiones have a wide variety of industrial and pharmaceutical applications. These include use as...
The mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin (MSHA) of Vibrio cholerae is a member of the family of type 4 pili. Type 4 pili expressed on the surface of a number of Gram-negative bacteria are often required for host colonization. MSHA is specifically...

Health care micro-systems are small, organized groups of clinicians and staff working together with a shared clinical purpose to provide care for a defined set of patients. The size of individual micro-systems vary--a micro-system must be large...

Friction severely limits performance in precise positioning systems. This thesis investigates one possible approach to counter friction related performance losses, friction cancellation. In this method a friction observer is used to estimate...
The iodothyronine deiodinases, D1, D2, and D3, play a crucial role in determining the circulating and intracellular levels of active and inactive thyroid hormone (TH), and thus have a major effect on TH action during development and adulthood. The...
The respiratory control network (RC) is made up nuclei dispersed throughout the pons and medulla oblongata and receives information from various sources that alter respiratory output. My studies have been focussed on one of these nuclei that play a...

Calanus finmarchicus, a kind of marine zooplankton, plays an important ecological role throughout the North Atlantic. Striking seasonal variations exist in its abundance and distribution in the Gulf of Maine/Georges Bank region. On the Bank in...
The C terminal domain (CTD) of Rpb1, a sub-unit of RNA Pol II, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, contains 26 repeats of a heptapeptide sequence that is highly conserved in all eukaryotes. The CTD affects the implementation and co-ordination of...
Coding theory. Characters of groups. Error-correcting codes (Information theory). Polynomials.
We introduce vector-valued character theory, a higher dimensional generalization of character theory. We then use vector-valued characters to extend the MacWilliams equivalence theorem for linear codes to a class of additive codes, called...
A method for the reconstruction of a spectrum of mechanical properties from phase-contrast, MR displacement data is developed and implemented via the finite element method. To overcome the significant computational load associated with...
Large scale systems -- Mathematical models. Digital computer simulation. Parallel processing (Electronic computers). Computer algorithms.
Modeling real-world large-scale systems is inherently challenging due to their size and complexity. Detailed simulation of large-scale models requires tremendous amounts of computing power and memory space. Parallel discrete-event simulation...
Diagnostic imaging -- Mathematics. Expectation-maximization algorithms. Imaging systems in medicine -- Mathematics.
We have developed a general-purpose registration algorithm for medical images and volumes. The transformation between images is modeled as locally affine but globally smooth, and explicitly accounts for local and global variations in image...
