Role of the LPA2 Receptor in Protecting Against Apoptosis
… protein 6 (TRIP6) and the proapoptotic molecule Siva-1 <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em>. Palmitoylation that occurs on these cysteine residues, however, did not affect the association with TRIP6 or Siva-1. The L351A mutation in the PDZ motif weakened but did not abolish interaction with LIM …

RNA-based therapeutic approaches for FTDP-17
Neurodegenerative diseases are linked to altered splicing mechanisms (Mills et al., 2012). Fronto temporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) is one such disease that stems from the differential splicing caused due to mutations in Microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT) …

Dendrimer Based Nanotherapeutics For Ocular Drug Delivery
<p>PAMAM dendrimers are a class of well-defined, hyperbranched polymeric nanocarriers that are being investigated for ocular drug and gene delivery. Their favorable properties such as small size, multivalency and water solubility can provide significant opportunities for many biologically unstable …

AN OPENDSS FRAMEWORK OF AN 100% PV PENETRATION MICROGRID
The purpose of this thesis is to understand how the microgrid with 100% PV penetration reacts to multiple scenarios. This is done by creating a framework or test model in OPENDSS and ETAP. The stability is tested by creating a test scenario that tests the safety equipment in place and also provides …

B CELL EPITOPE MAPPING OF RIVAX, A CANDIDATE RICIN VACCINE ANTIGEN
Ricin toxin’s enzymatic A subunit (RTA) is a 267 amino acid RNA N-glycosidase that depurinates a conserved adenine residue of 28S rRNA, resulting in ribosome arrest and apoptosis. One of the leading subunit vaccine candidates for ricin is RiVax, a two point mutant (V76M, Y80A) of RTA. RiVax has …

Preserving application reliability on unreliable hardware
According to Moore’s law, technology scaling is continuously providing smaller and faster devices. These scaled devices are, however, becoming increasingly susceptible to in-field hardware failures from sources such as high-energy particle strikes (or soft-errors). This reliability threat is …
