Eukaryotic RNA Polymerase II start site detection using artificial neural networks
An automated detection process for Eukaryotic ribonucleic acid (RNA) Polymerase II Promoter is presented in this dissertation. We employ an artificial neural network (ANN) in conjunction with features that were selected using an information-theoretic approach. Firstly an introduction is given where …

Type-1 diabetes risk prediction using multiple kernel learning
… has been successfully been implemented in image detection, splice site detection, ribosomal and membrane protein prediction, etc. In this thesis, this method was applied for Genome-wide association study (GWAS) for classifying cases and controls. This thesis has shown that combined kernel does …

A Comparison Of Shovel Testing And Surface Collection As Archaeological Site Discovery Methods: A Case Study Using Mississippian Farmsteads
… collection are commethods of archaeological site investigation that are generally approved by state and federal agencies as well as the academic community for cultural resource management projects and research. While both techniques are equally utilized, little research has been conducted on …

A structural classification of protein-protein interactions for detection of convergently evolved motifs and for prediction of protein binding sites on sequence level
… to identify and classify protein binding sites and how can knowledge be inferred from this classification such that protein interactions can be predicted for proteins without solved structure? The underlying hypothesis is that protein binding sites are often restricted to a small number of …

Archaeological geophysical prospection in peatland environments.
Waterlogged sites in peat often preserve organic material, both in the form of artefacts and pa1aeoenvironmenta1 evidence as a result of the prevailing anaerobic environment. After three decades of excavation and large scale study projects in the UK, the subdiscipline of wetland archaeology is …

UNDERSTANDING THE RAL GTPASES: THE REGULATION BY PROTEIN LYSINE FATTY ACYLATION, SIRT2, AND INTERACTING PROTEINS
… current proteomic methods cannot provide site identification. This makes profiling lysine fatty acylated proteins challenging. To overcome this, I attempted to develop a chemical proteomic platform that would allow direct site detection of protein lipidation, including lysine fatty …

Silicone microspheres and disposable separation technology for gaseous analytes
… portable, and inexpensive technology for the on-site detection of gaseous analytes. Significant progress has been made towards this goal through the miniaturization of gas chromatographs (GC), the most widely used method for analyzing complex gas mixtures. Typical GC microcolumns are made through …

Development of stainless cardiac histology of clinical biopsy samples with infrared spectroscopy
… instruments can be developed to provide detection in-situ but were earlier limited by the speed of imaging using Fourier Transform infrared spectrometers. The problem of speed can be overcome by using quantum cascade laser-based discrete frequency infrared (DFIR) imaging instruments. In …

Local impacts of White-nose Syndrome on the foraging ecology of insectivorous bats
… Cave National Park before and after the first on–site detection of WNS. Echolocation calls were classified by phonic group (low–, mid–, or Myotis–frequency). All insects were identified to order, and Lepidoptera were clustered into six classes defined by wingspan and characterized by mean dry …
