Human canalization and female growth buffering with Drosophila as a model organism
… This research utilizes an evolutionary female canalization model to broadly contextualize observed instances of sex-specific growth outcomes. The objectives of this research are to: (1) investigate sex-specific differences in growth and development; (2) address contributing cultural factors of …

The role of canalization in the spreading of perturbations in Boolean networks
Canalization is a property of Boolean automata that characterizes the extent to which subsets of inputs determine (canalize) the output. Here, we investigate the role of canalization as a characteristic of perturbation-spreading in random Boolean networks (BN) with homogeneous connectivity via …

A study of a-b ridge count asymmetry as a marker of developmental canalization
This document only includes an excerpt of the corresponding thesis or dissertation. To request a digital scan of the full text, please contact the Ruth Lilly Medical Library's Interlibrary Loan Department (rlmlill@iu.edu).

The role of Wnt signalling during embryonic salivary gland development
… epithelial branches to form ducts. Branching and canalization take place in a controlled manner, so that branching is active at the distal ends of epithelial branches while lumen formation initiates at the proximal ends, and spreads distally. We looked at the function of Wnt signaling during …

The Sleep, Inhibition, and Performance (SIP) study: An ERP investigation of sleep, stress, and response inhibition in early childhood
… may shape IC development through experiential canalization processes. Objective: The Sleep, Inhibition, and Performance (SIP) study investigates how sleep characteristics, socioeconomic status (SES), and stress predict neural markers of inhibitory control in children aged 5-8 using …

Synthetic morphogenesis : space, time, and deformation
… patterning, I attempt to understand "canalization" - how development is naturally robust to perturbations. I formulate a model for regional patterning, inspired by regeneration experiments in developmental biology, and using mathematical principles from classical models of magnetic …

Integrated Photonic Functions Using Optically Anisotropic Materials
… mode swapping, and diffractionless field canalization by regulating material absorption.

The Effects of the Nat Turner Slave Revolt on the Health and Welfare of 19th-Century Slaves in Southeastern Virginia
… at 63 inches (160 cm). This may be due to canalization as other studies also found this average stature under similar circumstances. It is also possible that this is due to cultural practices and biases that allowed better nutrition – and therefore increased catch-up growth – for males. …

Robustness Analysis of Gene Regulatory Networks
… role in cancer, is shedding some light on how canalization may in fact take place as part of a cell’s gene regulatory program. Short segments of single-stranded RNA, so-called microRNAs, which are embedded in several different types of feedforward loops, help smooth out noise and generate …

Bringing to bear: A biosocial examination of the developmental origins of the obstetric dilemma.
… of the pelvis suggest differing patterns in canalization and potential for genetic compared to environmental impact on their morphology. Biological factors that associated with shoulder breadth and bi-iliac breadth were height and thigh circumference, whilst pelvic canal dimensions associated …
