Parasitic mobility for sensate media
… a solution to these problems in the form of parasitically actuated nodes that gain their mobility and local navigational intelligence by selectively engaging and disengaging from mobile hosts in their environment. This body of work evaluates parasitically actuated sensor networks as a …

Non-Parasitic Warlords and Geographical Distance
… Konrad and Skaperdas (2012). I consider two non-parasitic warlords located on a line. Each warlord allocates resources for the extraction of natural resources, the production of goods and services, and conflict with the opposing warlord. Within the symmetric rates of seizure model, I use three …

Entangled Relationships Illustrated Through Parasitic Plants
… relationships between plants. My images focus on parasitic plants, as a metaphor for restrictive and binding aspects of human relationships. Several aspects of my work include psychological influences, my observations of the natural world, my artistic process and my major artistic influences. …

Acoustic manipulation by brood-parasitic honeyguide
Brood-parasitic birds lay their eggs in the nests of other species (‘hosts'), and their chicks encounter the challenge of acquiring sufficient food from host parents. Many parasitic chicks require more food than host chicks, and so need to elicit high rates of provisioning through their begging …

Small molecule inhibitors of parasitic enzymes
The work presented in this thesis is threefold:-(i) development of potential novel inhibitors of cysteine proteases from the causative agents of Malaria, African sleeping sickness and Chagas disease, (ii) development of potential new and novel anti-trypanosomal inhibitors of trypanosome alternative …

Pathology of parasitic infections in marine teleosts
The cellular responses of Crenimugil labrosus and Pleuronectes platessa to tissue parasites have been investigated using metacercariae of Cryptocotyle lingua and Rhipidocotyle johnstonei, and the myxosporidjan Myxobolus exiguous. The study was based on fish naturally infected with the parasites, …

Phosphorus-31 NMR Spectroscopy of Parasitic Protozoa
31P NMR spectra have been obtained of various parasitic protozoa including Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania major, Trypanosoma brucei, Plasmodium berghei, Toxoplasma gondii, and Cryptosporidium parvum. The unifying features of solution-state 31P NMR spectra of acid extracts of these parasites were …

A study of parasitic cellular frequency reuse
Indoor parasitic cellular systems are in-building stand alone cellular networks that use the concept of simultaneously reusing the frequencies of cellular systems outside the building for wireless communications inside the building. The objective of this thesis is to provide an analysis to …

Plasticity of Primary Metabolism in Parasitic Orobanchaceae
Parasitic weeds of the family Orobanchaceae attach to the roots of host plants via haustoria capable of drawing nutrients from host vascular tissue. Species in this family span the spectrum of host nutrient dependency, allowing comparisons that provide insight into parasite adaptation. A key aspect …

Controlling coupling in an electrically steerable parasitic array
… means to control the coupling between driven and parasitic elements is needed. The control mechanisms must be inexpensive and simple to implement. They should not fundamentally alter the array design procedure, but rather compliment it. This study investigates the effects of different approaches …

Developing a genetic toolkit for plant-parasitic nematodes
… and feed on bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Plant-parasitic lifestyles are relatively rare in terms of numbers, however, through their parasitism these nematodes have a substantial impact on agriculture. They are estimated to account for over 10% of the annual life-sustaining crop losses, costing …

Acceleration of parasitic multistatic radar system using GPGPU
… dissertation details the implementation of PMR [Parasitic Multistatic Radar] signal processing chain in the GPGPU [General Purpose Graphic Processing Units] platform. The primary objective of the project is to accelerate the signal processing chain without compromising the algorithm efficiency …

Coevolution between brood-parasitic honeyguides and their hosts
… have predominantly focused on temperate brood-parasitic species targeting open cup-nesting hosts. Therefore, honeyguides and their hosts are an ideal study system in which look for novel adaptations that have not evolved in other systems. Using field observations and experimental manipulations …

DAF-12: A Novel Drug Target in Parasitic Nematodes
… hypoactive resting states. In all of the parasitic species studied thus far, that resting state is the infectious third larval (iL3) stage, and activation of the receptor in iL3 worms outside of the host induces a premature and lethal molt (Wang et al. 2009; Motola et al. 2006). In …

Investigating the role of neuropeptides in plant parasitic nematodes
Plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs) devastate agriculture on a global scale causing severe annual economic losses. Withdrawal of the chemical nematicides used to control PPNs, due to their harmful environmental effects, has led to a short fall in<br/>our ability to manage these pests. This thesis …
