Music in Site: Integrating elements of site-specificity into composition
… process, and discusses how different levels of site-specificity may be engaged in this process. This research grew from an interest in composing music for the acoustic problems of performance spaces rather than trying to resist them, after a jazz ensemble performance in a large reverberant …

Site specificity as the decolonial model : an interpretive study of the Groote Schuur Menagerie
… A deserted display of historical relics, this site can be seen as a tangible and perceived symbol of colonisation. Despite not being a focus of the #RhodesMustFall movement to date, the Groote Schuur menagerie was also established by Cecil John Rhodes' and was part of his imperial agenda. …

Development of a novel electron-transfer secondary reaction matrix, characterization of the site–specificity of novel bilin-lyase, and Fundulus grandis protein expression investigation using mass spectrometry
… Mass spectrometry was used to investigate the site specificity of a newly developed bilin-lyase enzyme, a new approach was developed to distinguish between A-ring and D-ring attachment of bilins, and <em>F.</em> <em>grandis </em>protein expression pattern was investigated in several tissues. …

Pyruvate dehydrogenase activity in response to skeletal muscle contraction at two stimulation frequencies in pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 2 knockout mice
… of the PDH complex due to its phosphorylation site specificity and allosteric regulation. These results suggest that the site specificity and allosteric regulatory properties of the individual PDK isoforms are more important than total PDK activity in determining transformation of the complex …

Plantable Maps
… and the implications of relating data to its sites of origin. The result is a project that — through material, process and site-specificity — aims to return information to the natural landscape.

The amplitude-modulation-following response as an audiometric tool
… were: (1) demonstration of the cochlear site-specificity of the AMFR in high-pass and low-pass masking paradigms and comparison of behavioral and AMFR thresholds using spectral analysis; (2) valuation of the influence of sleep on the AMFR; (3) examination of the effects of modulation …

A site without a place is a space :
… and art programs in Colombia that have shaped site-specific works since the 1980s. Due to the fact that site-specific projects in Colombia have not evolved at the same pace--or with similar theoretical, and/or critical support--as other contexts (e.g. North America or Europe,) this is an …

Metals and the conformation of fibrin
… (ii) the platelet receptor domain and (iii) the site for staphyloccocal clumping. The nature of the site specificity of these interactions necessitates the existence of a preferred conformation for this region, the nature of which has yet to be clearly established. A novel zinc metalloproteinase …

Surface plasmon enhanced fluorescence for biological imaging : from visible to short-wave infrared
… thesis, we develop a fluorescent probe with high site-specificity and emission efficiency by exploiting the targeting-specificity of M13 virus and co-assembling plasmonic nanoparticles and visible dye molecules on the viral capsid. Practical factors controlling fluorescence enhancement, such as …

Revolutionary Forms: Unsettling Dance Through Site-Relational and Transformative Aesthetics
Reflecting on ways in which site-specificity in dance reproduces settler colonial logics, this thesis seeks to address questions about relationships of embodiment and land in screendance, remote interactive performance, and the proscenium theatre. Through close readings of work by Indigenous …

Site Specifics: Modernist Mediums in Modern Places
… argues that the modernist doctrine of medium specificity, the idea that the autonomy of the arts arises from artworks' investigation of the properties and limits of their materials, grounds artistic production in the place where it was produced. The identity of artistic mediums (writing, …

Permanence/Transience: The Afterlives of Ann Hamilton's Installations
… the felt relationships between elements, site-specificity, and the process of unmaking/remaking. These qualities are virtually absent in the objects when they are exhibited in isolation. The action and durational qualities that were so important when the objects were created are gone. …

A fragment of the Berlin Wall in the Centre de commerce mondial de Montréal : notes toward a theory of the public artefact at the "end of history"
… art practices of situational aesthetics and site specificity have affected and transformed the production and reception of monumental public art. This thesis examines the placement of a fragment of the Berlin Wall in the 'Centre de commerce mondial de Montreal' in light of the knowledge …

Fibroblast Regional Identity in the Murine Lymphoid System
… isolated from a range of lymphoid and peripheral sites. Our findings show that fibroblasts grown from different sites show heterogeneous gene and protein expression and are functionally different in their response to lymphotoxin α treatment in vitro and in their capacity to recruit host leucocytes …

Deoxyribozymes to hydrolyze DNA phosphodiester bonds
… tolerance were also found to suffer from relaxed site specificity, which could only be restored by expanding the “recognition site” beyond ATG^T (as in the parent 10MD5) to TATG^TT. These findings reflected functional compromises of the initial family of DNA-hydrolyzing deoxyribozymes. …

Mechanistic Studies Of A Novel Ppar-Gamma Mutant That Causes Lipodystrophy And Diabetes
… the DNA molecule and is required for DNA binding site specificity. Mechanistic analysis revealed that E157D PPAR-gamma binds PPAR-gamma response elements (PPREs), but is mildly, moderately or severely defective at inducing transcription from most promoters, without dominant negative activity. This …
