Towards Public Housing: Architecture as (Prop)aganda
… in psychological warfare. We need to adopt propaganda as a method to rewrite the cultural narrative where single-family homeownership antagonizes public housing. We need to shift paradigms from homeownership to home-usership. This thesis proposes collaborations with tenant advocacy groups to …

Understanding Prop Design in VR: A framework to establish the fidelity required for a physical prop to maintain immersion in a VR experience
… virtual realities by using tangible objects as props. The focus of this dissertation is to first, confirm that the presence of a physical prop in a virtual environment creates a more immersive experience, and second, to investigate the level of accuracy required in a physical prop, based on a …

From prop to producer: the appropriation of radio technology in opera during the Weimar Republic.
This thesis explores the appropriation of radio technology in opera composed during the Weimar Republic. It identifies a gap in current research where opera and radio have often been examined separately in the fields of musicology and media history. This research adopts a case study approach and …

La percezione del gusto amaro nell’uomo: la sensibilità gustativa al 6-n-propiltiouracile (PROP) come marker della variabilità individuale con implicazioni fisiologico-nutrizionali
PROP sensitivity varies greatly among individuals and can strongly influence food choice and satiety. It is associated with the bitter receptor gene (TAS2R38) and with differences in the salivary proteins involved in taste function. Among them, the enzyme Zn dependent gustin, a trophic factor of …

Sensitivity to chemical stimuli plays a fundamental role in the food preferences. Examples in the evolutionary scale: 1. Role of the walking leg chemoreceptors in the red swamp crayfish Procambarus Clarkii 2. PROP bitter taste sensitivity and its nutritional implications in Humans
… that chemoreceptor phasicity is an additional property for better discrimination of the protein components in the diet from other stimuli. The behavioral bioassays excluded, at least under confined experimental conditions, any involvement of antennules in the detection of food-related …

Astringency and other oral sensations : biological sources of individual variation and association with food and beverage behaviour
… of health. Two orosensory indices were examined: propylthiouracil (PROP) responsiveness, a genetically-mediated index of individual variation associated with enhanced responsiveness to orosensory stimuli often expressed as PROP taster status (PTS); and thermal taster status (TTS), a recently …

Applying an enterprise architecting framework to design enterprise sales and operations planning
… Program Requirements and Operations Planning (PROP) was born to enable improved supply chain planning for factory labor and capital resources. Over time, the complexity of SAS' business has proven to be a challenge for PROP to achieve its intended objectives.- This thesis considers PROP as an …

MACPROP: A Revised Program for the Refinement of Satellite Orbital Parameters
… 1957. One of the programs in current use is PROP. This program takes an initial estimate of the orbital parameters of an Earth satellite, together with observations of the satellite, and refines the parameters by a least squares differential correction process. The current version of PROP, …

Investigating the Link between the Oral Microbiome and Cardiovascular Health in Regards to Nitrate/Nitrite Metabolism.
… the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX-M n= 21) and propolis (PROP-M n= 24) mouthwashes on abundance and activity of nitrate-reducing bacteria in healthy individuals. CHX-M increased relative abundance of nitrate-reducing bacteria (P < 0.001), but significantly impaired nitrate-reducing activity (P < …

Three Essays in Law and Economics: Consequences and Formation of Legal Rules in Other Markets
… decarceration policies, <em>AB 109</em> and <em>Prop 47</em>, respectively. <em>AB 109</em> reallocated state prison inmates into local county jails. On the other hand, <em>Prop 47</em> reduced penalties for non-serious property crimes, thereby providing a second chance for offenders who …

Genetic Analysis of Taste in Homo Sapiens
… receptors TAS2R38, Gustin, and TRPM5 and for PROP (6-n-propylthiouracil) taster status (PTS), thermal taster status (TTS), and orosensory sensation intensity ratings. PTS is a proxy for general taste responsiveness, and the ability to taste PROP classifies individuals into three phenotypes: …

Effects of chromium supplementation on dam performance and progeny growth and development
… source of Cr to be fed to cattle, chromium-propionate (Cr-prop). We hypothesized that feeding Cr-prop to cows during gestation would increase dam insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in gestation and increase subsequent milk production, thereby increasing weaning weights of calves from …

Evaluating factors that affect copper tasting sensitivity in drinking water
… classification was used to discriminate 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) taster status. Solutions containing copper sulfate (0.05 – 8 mg/l Cu) were prepared in distilled water, mineral water of varying pH and mineral water with disinfectant added. Geometric mean copper taste thresholds were 0.48 …

Exploration of [2+2+2] cyclotrimerisation reactions of alkynes. A new methodology for the synthesis of small molecules to probe biological systems
… products. Three different dialkynes (1,5-di(prop-2-yn-1-yl)pyrrolidin-2-one 2.117a, 1,6-di(prop-2-yn-1-yl)piperidin-2-one 2.118a and 4-benzyl-1,6-di(prop-2-yn-1-yl)piperazin-2-one 2.120a) were successfully synthesised. Several cyclotrimerisations were attempted, with the best yields being …
