Wonder Lux
Wonder Lux is an art project that investigates the problematic relationship between the actual and the ideal, in the context of an attempt to construct a personal reality where these two concepts are one and the same. The approach taken is to create paintings based on or filtered through my …

#EvenMore than just a brand of soap: a case study analysing LUX soap's use of Instagram
… investigates the ways in which Unilever's LUX soap has repositioned their brand away from their historical association with beauty pageants. This research aims to unpack the ways in which Instagram is utilised by LUX soap to effectively communicate a distinct brand personality. This …

Gendered Film Criticism and “Intolerable Images”: Representation of Female Trauma in Brady Corbet’s <em>Vox Lux</em> (2018)
… thesis explores Brady Corbet's 2018 film <em>Vox Lux</em>, focusing on its portrayal of female trauma and the subsequent gendered division in its critical reception. The film centers on Celeste, a survivor of a school shooting who rises to pop stardom, depicting an eighteen-year narrative that …

The Golden Ages of radio and Hollywood unite : adaptation as self-regulation and promotion in the Lux Radio Theatre, 1936-1939
The Lux Radio Theatre was one of the most popular, highest rated, and longest running radio programs of the early to mid-20th century. J. Walter Thompson, the advertising agency that produced the program, successfully established a format for radio anthology drama by adapting popular films for …

Role of region 4 of the sigma 70 subunit of RNA polymerase in transcriptional activation of the lux operon during quorum sensing
… dependent activation of the luminescence (lux) genes of V. fischeri relies on the formation of a complex between the autoinducer molecule, N-(3-oxohexanoyl) homoserine lactone, and the autoinducer-dependent transcriptional activator LuxR. LuxR, a 250 amino acid polypeptide, binds to a site …

Amino Acid Residues in LuxR Critical for its Mechanism of Transcriptional Activation during Quorum Sensing
… the N-terminal domain of a regulatory protein, LuxR. In response to autoinducer binding, LuxR is believed to undergo a conformational change that allows the C-terminal domain to activate transcription of the luminescence or <I>lux</I> operon. To further understand the mechanism of LuxR-dependent …

Role of the C-terminal domain of the <font face = "symbol">a</font> subunit of RNA polymerase in transcriptional activation of the <i>lux</i> operon during quorum sensing
… In <i>V. fischeri</i>, the luminescence or <i>lux</i> genes are regulated in a cell density-dependent manner by the activator LuxR in the presence of an acylated homoserine lactone autoinducer molecule (3-oxo-hexanoyl homoserine lactone). LuxR, which binds to the <i>lux</i> operon promoter at …

Investigating the role of the circadian clock in the physiology of wheat
… in modern breeding efforts. In Arabidopsis, LUX ARRYTHMO (LUX) and EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) are circadian clock genes which are co- expressed at dusk, forming a transcriptional repressor complex which restricts the expression of day phased circadian clock genes. Deletions, which may result in …

Transcriptional Control during Quorum Sensing by LuxR and LuxR Homologues
… of Vibrio fischeri activates the luminescence (lux) operon when the autoinducer signaling molecule (N-3-oxohexanoyl homoserine lactone) is recognized and bound by the activator protein LuxR. LuxR subsequently binds to the lux box centered at à 42.5 bp upstream of the transcription initiation …

Untersuchungen zur Melatoninrhythmik beim Hausschwein (Sus scrofa f. domestica) unter Anwendung einer neu entwickelten HPLC-Methode
… intensities were set in two groups with 250 lux and 470 lux, scotophase light intensities were below 1,0 lux. Blood and saliva samples were collected over a period of 24 hours on two non-successive days with sampling intervalls of 3 hours. Following chloroform extraction, samples were …

Shining light on food microbiology; applications of luciferase-tagged microorganisms in the food industry
… caused by enzymes termed luciferases. The lux genes responsible for the emission of light can be cloned from one bioluminescent microorganism into one that is not bioluminescent. The light emitted can be monitored and quantified and will provide information on the metabolic activity, …

Assisting data exploration via in-situ adaptive visualizations
… To address these challenges, we introduce Lux, a visualization recommendation library that automatically generates useful insights for data exploration, and seamlessly integrates into a user’s data exploration workflow by augmenting the Pandas library. In this thesis, we document the design …

Display Technology and Ambient Illumination Influences on Visual Fatigue at VDT Workstations
… illumination levels of 0, 300, 600, and 1200 lux affected all four groups of dependent variables. On the whole, lighting caused visual fatigue, with "watery eyes" and "glare from lights" being adversely affected by brighter lighting. The 0 and 1200 lux were associated with the worst …

The effects of luminance contrast, raster modulation, and ambient illumination on text readability and subjective image quality
… luminance contrast, the 1.2 RAR, and the 1000 lux ambient illumination conditions as possessing the lowest image quality. From this research, it can be concluded that 7:1 is the preferred contrast ratio. This conclusion is based upon the findings that the 3:1 and 7:1 luminance contrast …
