Geometric aspects of three dimensional N = 4 gauge theories
We study geometric aspects of three dimensional N = 4 gauge theories. We focus mainly on the factorisation property of supersymmetric partition functions of these theories and introduce hemisphere blocks that precisely realise the factorisation. We define these blocks as UV partition functions on a …

Boundaries, States and Cohomology in Three-Dimensional N = 4 Theories
This thesis studies geometric and algebraic aspects of 3d N = 4 theories. We first focus on 3d N = 4 gauge theories compactified on an elliptic curve, and provide physical realisations of the equivariant elliptic cohomology of symplectic resolutions, and recent constructions therein. The Berry …

Much ado about nothing: The superconformal index and Hilbert series of three dimensional N =4 vacua
We study a quantum mechanical $\sigma$-model whose target space is a hyperKähler cone. As shown by Singleton, [184], such a theory has superconformal invariance under the algebra $\mathfrak{osp}(4^*|4)$. One can formally define a superconformal index that counts the short representations of the …

The effects of R(+)-lipoic acid supplementation on regulation of human skeletal muscle pyruvate dehydrogenase
This thesis investigated whole body glucose disposal and the adaptive changes in skeletal muscle carbohydrate metabolism following 28 d of supplementation with 1000 mg R(+)-lipoic acid in young sedentary males (age, 22.1 ± 0.67 yr, body mass, 78.7 ± 10.3 kg, n=9). In certain individuals, lipoic …

Sato-Tate Problem for GL(3)
Based upon the work of Goldfeld and Kontorovich on the Kuznetsov trace formula of Maass forms for SL(3,Z), we prove a weighted vertical equidistribution theorem (with respect to the generalized Sato-Tate measure) for the p-th Hecke eigenvalue of Maass forms, with the rate of convergence. With a …

Excited state structure of neon(2)
Several Rydberg series attributable to transitions originating from the a$\sp{3}\Sigma\sbsp{\rm u}{+}$ metastable state of the neon dimer have been observed by laser excitation spectroscopy in the afterglow of a pulsed corona discharge. Most of the observed bands in the excitation spectrum in the …

T cell mediated satellite cell function: implications for age-associated changes in skeletal muscle regeneration
Sarcopenia is an age-associated loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Recent evidence suggests that an age-associated loss of muscle precursor cell (MPC) functionality contributes to sarcopenia. Current research also suggests that T cells of the immune system may influence skeletal muscle …

Space Use And Habitat Selection By Bobcats In Southeastern Kentucky
<p>Population estimation and trend analyses are critically important for sustainable harvest and management of many species. The bobcat (Lynx rufus) plays important ecological and economic roles in Kentucky as a furbearer and mesopredator. I conducted a study of the bobcat in southeastern Kentucky …

Evaluation of a Developmentally-Based Music Therapy Tool for Children with Autism
The purpose of this study was to gather sufficient data to determine the statistical reliability of the scores obtained with a new music therapy assessment tool for children with autistic disorder: the Autism Developmental Skillset Assessment (ADSA). Participants included one child with autistic …

An Investigation Into the Resistance of Goosegrass (Eleusine Indica) to Dinitroaniline Herbicides (Biotypes, Trifluralin, Oryzalin)
Research was conducted in the growth chamber and laboratory to determine if continuous dinitroaniline use in the Coastal Plain region of South Carolina has selected for a dinitroaniline-resistant goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertner). Seed was collected from two locations where dinitroniline …

An investigation into hormonal regulation of ovine mammary gland growth during pregnancy
Prepartum, multiparous ewes were randomly assigned to experimental groups and sacrificed at 50(n=5), SO(n=4),115(n=5), and 140(n=4) days of gestation. Serum harvested the week prior to slaughter was assayed for progesterone (PG), prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) concentrations. Mammary …

Computed tomography of cats without general anesthesia: feasibility, protocol development and assessment of cats with thoracic disease
This study consisted of three phases. On phase one, the VetMouseTrapTM, a novel device that allows computed tomography (CT) of awake cats and provides a clinically supportive environment, was designed. Ten normal cats were used to test the device for safety parameters, including ambient internal …

SOLUTIONS OF MATTER-COUPLED HALF-MAXIMAL GAUGED SUPERGRAVITY IN FOUR AND FIVE DIMENSIONS
In this thesis, we present holographic and de-Sitter (dS) solutions of matter-coupled half- maximal gauged supergravity (SUGRA) in four and five dimensions using the embedding tensor formalism. In the first part, we study the 5D N = 4 gauged supergravity coupled to five vector multiplets with …

Infinite Dimensional Symmetries of Self-Dual Yang-Mills Theories.
We construct infinite dimensional symmetries of the Chalmers-Siegel action describing the self-dual sector of non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills. The symmetries are derived by virtue of a canonical transformation between the Yang-Mills fields and new fields that map the Chalmers-Siegel action to a free …

Skeletal muscle pericyte response to acute and chronic electrical stimulation
Pericytes are mural cells that are located on the outer surface of blood capillaries where they attach to endothelial cells and regulate vascular function, including dilation and angiogenesis. Recent studies suggest that pericytes in skeletal muscle may contribute to myofiber repair in response to …
