Mitotic Exit: Thresholds and Targets
… we begin to assess the contribution of specific targets of the mitotic exit transcriptional program to the mitotic cyclin-dependent regulation of specific cell cycle events. Finally, Cdc14, a phosphatase that removes the phosphate groups added by CDKs, is sequestered for most of the cell cycle …

The control of speech motor targets
Studies of speech production and its control have traditionally focused on acoustic parameters and/or articulatory configurations of the end result of the production process as the target of speech production. The representations of production target, however, are far richer than the stereotypical …

INTRACELLULAR TARGETS OF SPHINGOSINE-1-PHOSPHATE
… of S1PRs. However no bona fide intracellular targets of S1P have been identified. In my dissertation, I have identified a novel intracellular binding protein for S1P. This finding has important implications for the pleiotropic actions of S1P.

Assessment of potential antibacterial drug targets
… to assess and select potential antibacterial targets and carry out initial biochemical characterisation concentrating on enzymes from biowarfare agents <i>Bacillus anthracis</i>, <i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i>, <i>Francisella tularensis</i> and <i>Yersinia pestis</i>. The overall objective …

Are long-term earnings targets forecasts?
This paper examines whether earnings targets used in long-term performance-based compensation plans predict future performance. Using a sample of targets from long-term grants made to CEOs from 2007 to 2012, I find that earnings targets provide information about future earnings outcomes; however, …

Performance targets for electric vehicle batteries
… several organizations have created performance targets for batteries, including the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) and the US Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC). The goal of this thesis is to assess these performance targets based on real-world vehicle performance. A method …

Radiative muon capture on nuclear targets
… Al and 5i, only the branching ratios for these targets are reported. For Mo, 5n, and Pb, the branching ratios found were consistent with the Fermi gas n10del for which a nill contribution from the pseudoscalar coupling was assumed. Good agreement was found between the experimental results and …

Passive estimation of underwater maneuvering targets
The initial portion of this thesis examines the problem of tracking a maneuvering target in the 2-dimensional (X,Z) plane, vertical to the ocean floor, using passive time-delay measurements. The target is free to maneuver in velocity and make depth changes at times unknown to the observer. In the …

Typical PM targets are not typically better than atypical PM targets: Underlying mechanisms of Prospective Memory retrieval
… and the expected category typicality of PM targets while familiarity was manipulated by the category typicality of PM targets alone. Consistent with PAM’s prediction, higher PM performance with significant monitoring was found in the conditions where typical category exemplars served as …

Pre-clinical Targets for Ischemic Brain Injury
Stroke is the second most common cause of disability worldwide, and 87% of strokes result from a blockage in the cerebral blood flow which results in ischemia. Injury to the myelinated axons located in white matter is observed in ischemic injuries but is generally underappreciated. Research has …

Ceramides as Therapeutic Targets in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disorder associated with extremely premature birth, resulting from arrested development of the microvasculature and consequently disrupted alveologenesis. Premature infants are dependent on respiratory support, including oxygen supplementation and …

Neutrino Factory Targets and the MICE Beam
The future of particle physics in the next 30 years must include detailed study of neutrinos. The first proof of physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics is evident in results from recent neutrino experiments which imply that neutrinos have mass and flavour mixing. The Neutrino Factory …

The Determinants of Voluntary Carbon Emissions Targets
… thresholds change their behavior to meet these targets. Emissions targets are commonly measured in two ways: absolute emissions levels and emissions intensity(absolute levels normalized by sales). To meet absolute benchmarks, firms can only reduce their actual emissions. However, to meet …

Why do firms disclose performance compensation targets?
… decision to disclose performance compensation targets that contain information about future profitability. I test the effect of factors expected to influence the decision to provide other expectation disclosures, e.g. management forecasts, as well as that of factors particular to the …

Empirically derived guidelines for touch screen targets
Users are often frustrated when a touch screen monitor inaccurately records their touches. Enlarging touch sensitive regions improves touch accuracy, but few specific guidelines are available in the literature. A controlled field experiment determined the effect of target location and visual target …
