Supersymmetric Schur functions and Lie superalgebra representations
… representations in terms of supersymmetric S-functions. Although this is certainly true for the covariant and contravariant tensor representations2, where the supersymmetric S-function is labelled by a single partition λ, it is not so for the mixed tensor representations3 where the …

Phonon dispersion curves and atomic mean square displacement for several fcc and bcc materials
… theory (PT) and a recently proposed Green's function (GF) method by Shukla and Hiibschle. The latter method includes certain anharmonic effects to all orders of anharmonicity. In order to determine the effect of the range of the interatomic interaction upon the anharmonic contributions to the …

Order Reduction, Identification and Localization Studies of Dynamical Systems
… of the thesis, a new technique based on Green!s function method is proposed to identify the dynamics of practical bolted joints. By modeling the difference between the dynamics of the bolted structure and the corresponding unbolted one, one constructs a nonparametric model for the joint dynamics. …

The temperature distribution on a rotating cylindrical shell in the presence of a primary radiative source and a reflecting and radiating infinite plane
… to the linear equation is found by the Green's function technique. Then some numerical results are obtained for variations in the non-dimensional parameters.

MeCP2 and the Epigenetic Regulation of Excitatory Synaptic Transmission
… of gene expression is critical for normal brain function. Many human neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders are associated with mutations in genes important for controlling transcription. Mutations in one such gene, the transcriptional repressor methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2), …

Investigating the properties of molecular wires on gold and diamond
… wires based on the first-principles density functional theory and non-equilibrium Greenb s function revealed electrical properties consistent with the experimental results. In Chapter 5, we demonstrated strong rectification in assemblies of molecular dyads comprising a bithiophene segment as …

K(ATP) channel Kir62 subunit distribution differs between muscles and between fiber types in skeletal muscle
… prevention of fiber damage and contractile dysfunction during fatigue. The extent of the cytoprotective capabilities of the KATP channel vary tremendously between muscles with different muscle fiber type composition. Semi-quantitative measurement of Kir6.2 subunit content showed that variances …

Vps1, a Novel Recycling Factor For the Traffic of Early Endosome to Late Golgi
… GED domains of Vps1 are essential for Vps1's function in Snc1 recycling. Our finding of genetic interactions of VPS1 with genes involved in early endosome-to-Golgi traffic further suggests Vps1 functions as a recycling factor in the membrane traffic. Finally, I provide evidence that the severe …

Comparison of smallest eigenvalues and extremal points for third and fourth order three point boundary value problems.
… methods. One method involves finding the Green's function for –u⁽ⁿ⁾ = 0 satisfying the higher order boundary conditions, and the other involves making a substitution that allows us to work with a variation of the fourth order problem. Extremal points via Krein-Rutman theory are then found. …

“Precios perle wythouten spotte”: Accepting the Unknowable in Pearl
… figures, this thesis reads <em>Pearl</em>’s function as a dream vision as a rhetorical strategy that demonstrates new ways of conceptualizing the ambiguities of death and the afterlife. As the Dreamer attempts to reconcile the disparity between what he sees (bodily decay), and what he is …

AML1/ETO Downregulates the Transcription Factor PU.1 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
… leukemia patients. Here, we report a negative functional impact of AML1-ETO on the transcriptional activity of PU.1, an important transcription factor for normal myeloid differentiation. We have demonstrated that AML1-ETO interacts with PU.1 by immunoprecipitation assay in Kasumi-1 cells having …

The Role of BiP Co-chaperone SIL1 in Marinesco-Sjögren Syndrome Pathogenesis
… and are predicted to result in a loss of SIL1’s function. The large majority of these mutations cause deletions of large fractions of the SIL1 protein. Nine MSS-associated mutations are particularly interesting because they alter less than six amino acids, yet are associated with a phenotype …

Hyperactive Rac1 Drives MAPK-Independent Proliferation in Melanoma by Assembly of a Mechanosensitive Dendritic Actin Network
… of the Rac1 GTPase (Rac1P29S) harnesses Rac1's function as a regulator of actin polymer assembly to sustain cell cycle progression in growth limiting conditions. This proliferative advantage supports metastatic colonization of melanoma cells and confers insensitivity to inhibitors of the …

A High-Throughput Approach to Uncover Novel Roles of APOBEC2, a Functional Orphan of the AID/APOBEC Family
… Unlike most of AID/APOBEC, however, APOBEC2's function remains elusive. Previous research has implicated APOBEC2 in diverse organisms and cellular processes such as muscle biology (in Mus musculus), regeneration (in Danio rerio), and development (in Xenopus laevis). APOBEC2 has also been …

Human FRG1 is an Actin-Bundling and a RNA-Associated Protein with Distinct Subcellular Localizations
… and vasculature, however its precise molecular function is unknown. Because of its location 125 kb proximal to the FSHD1A lesion, a deletion in a subtelomeric macrosatellite DNA repeat array, it has been considered a candidate for mediating FSHD pathophysiology. This study investigates FRG1’s …

Computational and Experimental Modeling of the Bioheat Transfer Process of Perfusion in Tissue Applied to Burn Wounds

Analysis of the Role of EIF5A in Mammalian Translation
… In order to identify regulators of MYC that function through the 5' UTR of the transcript, we performed a fluorescent reporter-coupled genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9-mediated loss of function screen. Analysis of screening data identified eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (EIF5A) as novel regulator of …
