Structural Insights into Noncanonical Mechanisms of Translation
… system, however, the small protein ArfA recognizes the empty mRNA channel and recruits the release factor RF2 to the ribosome, enabling termination to occur. Using single-particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM), I obtained four high-resolution structures of nonstop complexes that …

Machine learning paradigms for building energy performance simulations
This research seeks to overcome a technical limitation of building energy performance simulations, the computation time, by using surrogate modeling, a class of supervised machine learning techniques where the output is a performance metric. Though early machine learning methods were introduced …

Material characterization of Guadua bamboo and the environmental feasibility of structural bamboo products
Bamboo has long been used in vernacular construction because of its high strength, rapid growth rate, and global abundance. Bamboo is increasingly being used in contemporary architecture as a sustainable alternative to wood and other building materials. Forming bamboo into a structural composite …

Inhibitory effect of subthreshold transcranial magnetic stimulation on the stretch-evoked long latency response of forearm muscles
The central nervous system controls human movements using multiple pathways that relay neural input to the muscles. The reticulospinal tract (RST) is a prominent secondary motor pathway, as it extends the function of the primary motor pathway, the corticospinal tract (CST). The RST is especially …

Materials, photophysics and device designs for high efficiency photovoltaics
The development of inexpensive and sustainable renewable energy technologies is of critical importance in fulfilling rapidly growing global energy demand. The seriousness of this endeavour is also amplified by the urgent need to eliminate the usage of fossil-fuels. In the recent past, the cost of …
