A development of IoT based basal body temperature (BBT) device with ovulation and pregnancy prediction system using fuzzy logic method
… natural family planning method that is based on body signs, commonly basal body temperature (BBT) changes during each menstrual cycle in response to hormonal changes in a woman's body. There are several products on the BBT devices that can help in charting, monitoring, and tracking the fertility …

INVESTIGATION OF THE DISTAL APPENDAGE PROTEIN CEP164 IN Trypanosoma brucei
… They are found in many cells of the human body and are essential for the survival of single celled protozoans. These organelles are nucleated from a basal body after docking to the plasma membrane and are structurally similar to centrioles. Docking of the basal body requires the presence of …

Identification of TbRP2-interacting proteins using proximity-dependent biotinylation (BioID)
… (a modification that targets XRP2 to the basal body in mammalian cells) but rather utilises twinned TOF-LisH motifs at the Nterminus of the protein to direct basal body targeting. To further interrogate the targeting and function of TbRP2, I employed proximity-dependent biotin …

A Novel Collapsing Response Mediator Protein 2 Binding Domain for Kinesin Light Chain 3
… 2 is required for ciliogenesis, localizes to the basal body, and can be transported into the primary cilium, however, the involved mechanism is not clear, but was proposed to involve kinesin proteins. KLC3 is the only known kinesin light chain expressed in elongating spermatids that develop the …

Defining the molecular composition and organisation of Transition fibres in Trypanosoma brucei and their roles in flagellar assembly and length control
… with a contiguous membrane, out from the cell body. They possess a highly conserved core structure, composed of a microtubule-based axoneme that runs through its core. The axonemal microtubules are nucleated by a barrel shaped microtubule-organising basal body. Transition fibres (TFs) are …

Regulation and function of genes involved in drosophila ciliogenesis
… reduced male fertility because of aberrant basal body function, which leads to a disorder in sperm individualisation. Thus DILA is required for the differentiation of all ciliated cells in Drosophila. Visualisation of tagged protein localised DILA to the basal body and transition zone of the …

Cytology and ultrastructure of eustigmatophyceae
… zoospores include the observation of a Golgi body for the first time in a eustigmatophycean zoospore (Vischeria helvetica) and the first reconstruction of the system of flagellar roots in the Eustigmatophyceae (V. stellata). This consists of a rhizoplast and four microtubular roots: roots R1 …

Manifest dream content, sex role orientation archetypes and the menstrual cycle : an experimental investigation
… from both home diaries and REM awakenings. Basal body temperatures were recorded daily to enable the phase of the menstrual cycle to be accurately determined.

Effect of Heavy Lifting with a Head Strap on the Pelvic Floor across the Menstrual Cycle
… during the early follicular phase, when basal body temperature and beta estrogen are lowest, the compliance of the pelvic floor is greatest. Repetitive lifting during this time may predispose some woman to POP.</p>

Mutation of Polaris, an Intraflagellar Transport Protein, Shortens Neuronal Cilia
… having 9+0 microtubules that project from the basal body of the cell. While the main purpose of motile cilia in mammalian cells is to move fluid or mucus over the cell surface, the purpose of primary cilia has remained elusive for the most part. Primary cilia are shortened in the kidney tubules …

The effects of the menstrual cycle and hormonal contraceptives on the central thermoeffector threshold temperatures and width of the interthreshold zone
Basal body temperature (BBT) and thermoeffector thresholds increase following ovulation in many women. This study investigated if solely central thermoregulatory alterations are responsible. Seven females in a non-contraceptive group (NCG) were compared with 5 monophasic contraceptive users (HCG) …

Role of the Rcd4:Ana3 sub-complex in Drosophila centriole duplication
… in somatic tissues and for the formation of basal bodies and cilia in the neurosensory organs. Moreover, I found that both proteins are recruited to the procentriole in interphase where Rcd4 loading is dependent upon the prior loading of Ana3. The assembly of the Rcd4:Ana3 sub-complex is a …

The transcriptional control of virulence gene expression in Helicobacter pylori
… regulates expression of a series of flagellar basal body and hook genes in concert with the alternative sigma factor sigma 54. Evidence is provided that this regulator, designated FlgR (for flagellar regulatory protein), is necessary for motility and transcription of five promoters for seven …

Structural and functional studies of type three secretion virulence factors from gram-negative pathogenic bacteria
… III secretion apparatus (TTSA) is composed of a basal body spanning both bacterial membranes and an exposed oligomeric needle. Host altering effectors are secreted through this energized conduit to promote bacterial invasion. The active needle-tip complex of S. flexneri is composed of a tip …

3D Nanoscale Architecture and Physiology of the Human Airway Epithelium
… is observed in the differentiation of airway basal stem cells into multiciliated cells within the human respiratory epithelium – a tissue barrier crucial for protection against bacteria, viruses, and particulate matter. In this thesis, I present the first isotropic three-dimensional map of the …

The little engine that could: Characterization of noncanonical components in the speed-variable flagellar motor of the symbiotic soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti
… as is the presence of flagella on the cell body. Flagellar motor activity and swimming proficiency of mutants lacking the FliL-paralog MotF was nearly as abysmal as those without FliL but flagellation was essentially normal indicating distinct roles for the two proteins. FliL is implicated …

The effect of premenstrual edema on percent body fat measurements utilizing bioelectrical impedance
… (water retention) on measurements of percent body fat (%BF) in ovulating women during the menstrual cycle utilizing bioelectrical impedance. Specifically, this study was designed to investigate the difference between bioelectrical impedance measurements of %BF recorded during day 1 of menses, …
