SCALE-DEPENDENT VARIATION IN MOLECULAR AND ECOLOGICAL PATTERNS OF INFECTION FOR ENDOHELMINTHS FROM CENTRARCHID FISHES
Few studies exist addressing the intraspecific molecular variability of helminths in a widely distributed freshwater fish host. Equally rare are studies considering both large- and small-scale patterns of infection of helminth communities in a widely distributed aquatic host(s). Vanishingly few …

Alternative splicing of the zebrafish myosin phosphatase targeting subunit, MYPT1, produces a novel isoform
<p>Alternative splicing of the zebrafish Myosin Phosphatase Targeting Subunit, MYPT1, produces a novel isoform (TV202). TV202 and the truncated TV202Δ ere shown to form an active complex with Protein Phosphatase 1 β (PP1β) via stress fiber assay. TV202 was also shown to be localized in the …

Curriculum-based burnout prevention programs for medical trainees
Burnout is a problem that impacts the physician population disproportionately compared to other professions in the United States, and its consequences affect not only physicians but their patients and the healthcare system as a whole. In particular, physician trainee years are associated with a …

Solid state superionic stamping design for large area patterning
Solid state superionic stamping (S4) is a non-photolithographic process for etching features into thin metal films which has shown the capability of reproducing features below 100 nm in recent years. The technique has significant potential because in addition to its high resolution capability it is …

Pulsed out of awareness: EEG alpha oscillations represent a pulsed inhibition of ongoing cortical processing
Alpha oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain, but their role in cortical processing remains a matter of debate. Recently, evidence has begun to accumulate in support of a role for Alpha oscillations in attention selection and control. In this thesis, a series of studies is presented investigating …

Solid-state superionic conductors for advanced nanoscale fabrication
Silver possesses the highest electrical conductivity of any metal, and this property allows for unique interaction with visible light when patterned at the nanoscale. Few methods exist for patterning silver down to sub-100nm scales, and all tend to be complicated, multi-step processes which require …

Block copolymer-templated iron oxide nanoparticles for bimodal growth of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
Since their discovery carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have sparked great interest due to their exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. These properties make carbon nanotubes desirable for numerous applications including: nanoelectronics, high-strength composites, energy storage, …

SOF TALENT PROFILES: HOW TO LEVERAGE PERFORMANCE DATA FOR QUALITATIVE TALENT MANAGEMENT
Special Operations Forces (SOF) face a talent retention problem. They currently retain significantly less than their optimal officer manning after their O-3 Key Development positions. One of the main challenges is an impersonal talent management system. SOF organizations collect large amounts of …
