Dynamical Systems Analysis of Neural Circuits with Applications to Physiological Processes
Reproductive function in mammals is regulated by the pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), controlled by a hypothalamic neuronal oscillator known as the GnRH pulse generator. The timing and pattern of GnRH secretion are essential, with disruptions leading to reproductive …

A behavioural analysis of computer game playing competence, experience and related physiological processes
… in order to develop novel behavioural and physiological measures of enjoyment in game playing. It was found that participants' preference for games of varying diculty was dependent on their experience with those games. In addition, a novel methodology was developed for analyzing …

Variation in leaf attributes and their effects on physiological processes in Leucospermum conocarpodendron L. Buek
Two subspecies of Leucospermum conocarpodendron with considerable variation in leaf traits occur along the Cape Peninsula along clearly delimited geographical distributions. We attempted to quantify the difference in leaf trait dimensions between green (L. conocarpodendron ssp. viridum) and grey …

Variation in the physiological processes of eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) differing in sensitivity to ozone, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide
Ten clones of eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) representing three different pollutant sensitivity classes (i.e. sensitive, intermediate, and tolerant) were exposed to ozone, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide singly, and in. combinations at various concentrations. Visible symptom expression, …

Characterizing the effects of ocean acidification in larval and juvenile Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, using a transcriptomic approach
… conditions through the appropriate modulation of physiological processes. Calcifying organisms are particularly at risk, as increased atmospheric levels of CO2 in the atmosphere increase the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in the oceans. Increased pCO2 reduces the saturation of carbonate minerals …

Capillary Resistance and Hematological Responses of Normal and Stressed Animals to Cortisone
… organism is constant, but rather coordinated physiological processes attempt to create a balance between the various systems. The great French physiologist Claude Bernard (1) wrote, "It is the fixity of the milieu interieur which is the condition of free and independent life, and all the vital …

Metabolomic approaches to understanding the auxin and ethylene response in Arabidopsis roots
… between these hormones regulates many important physiological processes in plants, including the initiation of lateral root formation and the response to gravity. These occur in part through alterations in the levels of flavonoids, specialized plant metabolites that have been shown to act as …

The eco-physiology of macroalgae from a temperate marine embayment in southern Australia
… Australia. This thesis investigated the physiological processes (i.e. photosynthesis, growth, nutrient uptake) of three species of macroalgae, Hincksia sordida (Harvey) Clayton (Phaeophyta), Polysiphonia decipiens Montague (Rhodophyta) and Ulva sp. (Chlorophyta) in response to a range of …

Investigation of ocular drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics using multi-omics and in-situ microdialysis
… transporter expression, and tissue-specific physiological processes. However, quantitative understanding of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters in ocular tissues remains limited, which has hindered mechanistic interpretation of ocular pharmacokinetics and the development of effective …

Lipoproteins and heat shock proteins as measures of reproductive physiology in the soft shell clam, Mya arenaria
Reproduction is an important physiological process in marine bivalve molluscs. Experiments were designed to examine the role of lipoproteins and heat shock proteins in normal physiological processes of the soft shell clam, Mya arenaria, including reproduction. The distribution of 14c triolein, an …

Small non-coding RNA-mediated epigenetic regulation of gene expression and its implications for wheat adaptation to continuous cultivation
… and act as key regulators of wheat molecular and physiological processes. Chapter IV entitled "The microRNA Bna-miR1885 interferes with TIR-NLRs and modulates the plant defense response in model plant Arabidopsis thaliana" focuses on the functional characterization of a Brassica-specific miR1885 …

Expression, Cloning, and Sequencing of Putative Insulin Signaling Genes Involved in Diapause in the Flesh Fly <em>Sarcophaga crassipalpis</em>.
… Insulin signaling has been associated with many physiological processes including aging. It is a working hypothesis that the diapause and aging programs have a common set of gene expression pathways via insulin signaling. Analysis of a heterologous microarray indicated that two genes involved in …
