Social defense mechanisms : tools for reclaiming our personal space
In contemporary Western society, electronic devices are becoming so prevalent that many people find themselves surrounded by technologies they find frustrating or annoying. The electronics industry has little incentive to address this complaint; I designed two counter-technologies to help people …

MUCIN-MEDIATED AND INTERFERON-DRIVEN DEFENSE MECHANISMS AGAINST INFLUENZA VIRUS INFECTION IN HUMAN AIRWAY EPITHELIUM
… and how interferon drives intrinsic antiviral defense in the context of a human airway epithelial (HAE) culture system. By utilizing fluorescently-labeled influenza virus particles we further elucidate the adhesive interactions between mucus and influenza virus while also detailing, for the …

Host Defense Mechanisms in the Crayfish: the Effect of Injection with Live or Killed Bacteria.
<p>An increase in attachment of SRBCs to <em>Procambarus clarkii</em> hemocytes has been shown after the crayfish were injected with a live or killed <em>Pseudomonas</em> strain RS2b. The increase in attachment occurred at 8 hours post injection and peaked at 24 hours for both experimental groups. …

Transcriptional profiling of potential regulatory factors modulating defense mechanisms in soybean during Phytophthora sojae infection
… soybean against P. sojae, however the molecular mechanisms underlying this form of resistance are still unknown. The objective of this project is to gain insight into molecular basis of quantitative resistance in the soybean-P. sojae pathosystem. The approach was to use global transcriptional …

Examining the Effect of Object Relations and Defense Mechanisms on Interpersonal Relations in Adults with ADHD Symptoms
… self-regulation, promoting healthy and mature defenses. Conversely, those with difficulty self-regulating may rely on immature defenses into adulthood, negatively impacting interpersonal relationships. Therefore, it is hypothesized that immature defenses will mediate the relation between poor …

Induction of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps by Nontypeable Haemophilus Influenzae And Defense Mechanisms Against Host NETs and Oxidative Stress
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a Gram-negative commensal bacteria of the human nasopharynx. Normally residing in healthy individuals, NTHi rarely causes adverse effects. However, infection with NTHi in children often leads to middle ear inflammation and disease in the form of otitis …

Investigating the Relationship Between Defense Mechanisms and the Therapeutic Alliance in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder
Defenses play an important role in psychotherapy, as clients' overall defensive functioning (ODF) predicts treatment outcomes. Defensive functioning may influence the relationship between the therapeutic alliance and outcome; however, findings are mixed. This study examined the relationship between …

Capsinoids, Non-Pungent TRPV1 Agonists, Induce a Mild Hypothermia That Provides Short- and Long-Term Neuroprotection After Ischemic Stroke
… to stroke due to the activation of cold defense mechanisms in conscious patients. This dissertation examines the efficacy and specificity of capsinoids (a purified mixture of capsiate and dihydrocapsiate) to induce a sustained mild hypothermia in conscious mice that is neuroprotective …

The role of melanin production in the survival of Vibrio cholerae in the marine environment
… types of melanins are used by microbes as defense mechanisms against a variety of environmental stresses. This thesis investigated the defensive role of V. cholerae pyomelanin against exogenous stresses, particularly hydrogen-peroxide (H2O2).

Physics-based Security Analysis of Controller Area Network Protocols
… we develop software and hardware-based defense mechanisms that can detect attacks by exploiting timing, voltage, and motion information, where the hardware-based defense mechanism can also mitigate these attacks. We implement the attacks and demonstrate that the proposed defense …

'THE LOCAL' IN THE HUMANITARIAN PSYCHE: HOW EMOTIONS OF HUMANITARIAN WORKERS MEDIATE THE EVERYDAY PRACTICES OF PARTICIPATION
… traumas are kept at bay through adequate defense mechanisms. Next, based on fieldwork in Singapore, Jakarta and Aceh, 45 semi-structured interviews and 20 published autobiographies, I show how humanitarian workers regularly question their impact and complicity in human suffering. This is …
