“All the Evil Music Has:” Musical Representations of the Vamp in Interwar American Popular Media
<p>This dissertation explores the vamp as a symbol of sociosexual deviance in film and American popular music of the 1910s and ‘20s. Abbreviated from vampire, “vamp” came to be used as a term for sexually voracious and predatory women in the early 20<sup>th</sup> century. Following the …

Performing "Camp, Vamp & Femme Fatale": Revisiting, Reinventing & Retelling the Lives of Post-Death, Retro-Gothic Women
… examines the production process for "Camp, Vamp and Femme Fatale," performed at the University of North Texas in April of 1997. The first chapter applies Henry Jenkins's theory of textual poaching to the authors' and cast's reappropriation of cultural narratives about female vampires. The …

Visibility-Aware Motion Planning
… which we call Visibility-Aware Motion Planning (VAMP), and several solution methods with different computational trade-offs. We demonstrate the behavior of these planning algorithms in illustrative planar domains. The key to an efficient solution is to aggressively prune paths, while ensuring …

Vesicle-associated Membrane Proteins in Airway Mucin Secretion
… protein, a Vesicle-Associated Membrane Protein (VAMP), has been shown to regulate exocytosis in multiple cell types.</p> <p>Here, we report that VAMP8 has the highest gene expression among all VAMP isoforms in human airway secretory cells, as revealed by an analysis of a public scRNA-seq …

Low-Complexity Iterative Receiver Design for Multi-Carrier Faster-Than-Nyquist Signaling Over Frequency-Selective Fading Channel
… based on vector approximate message passing (VAMP) are proposed for solving the symbol detection issue in known channel scenarios. Numerical results verify that the VAMP-TDE algorithm is superior in terms of BER performance, while the VAMP-FDE algorithm is able to compromise between BER …

Syntaxin-3 mediates baseline and stimulated mucin secretion
… contributing helices are the vesicle-SNARE VAMP, and the target-SNAREs SNAP and Syntaxin. Coiling of the complex fuses the granule and plasma membranes to release mucins into the extracellular space. The VAMP and SNAP isoforms mediating baseline and stimulated secretion are known, but the …

Badnaam Women of Bollywood: The Combative Sexual Politics of Item Songs in India
… Bollywood convention “item number,” a vampy song with suggestive lyrics and hypersexualized imagery of dancing women, as a crucial cultural artefact reflecting the gender and sexual uneasiness in India. Sex avoidance is a common theme in Bollywood films and in the country, where media …

Therapieprozess- und Ergebnisforschung in der Ambulanten Langzeit-Intensivtherapie für Alkoholkranke (ALITA)
… bei chronischen psychiatrischen Krankheiten (VAMP)" untersucht die vorliegende Studie 64 chronisch alkoholkranke Patienten zu den drei Zeitpunkten t1 (Woche 3), t2 (Monat 6) und t3 (Monat 12) während des ersten Jahres der Ambulanten Langzeit-Intensivtherapie für Alkoholkranke …

Reconstitution of Munc18-Dependent Mast Cell Degranulation
… was active in stimulating fusion mediated by VAMP2 and VAMP3, but not by VAMP7 and VAMP8. In contrast, Munc18b and Munc18c did not show any stimulatory activity. Further analysis of Munc18a function unraveled a previously unidentified role in the tethering of SNARE complexes prior to fusion, …

Interaction between DVAP, the orthologue of human VAPB, and Drosophila Sac1
… 5 years of disease onset. Mutations in human (VAMP)-associated protein B (hVAPB) gene cause ALS8. Interestingly, the Drosophila VAPB (DVAP) is required at the Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction (NMJ), to control bouton morphology. In Pennetta’s lab Drosophila Sac1, a phosphoinositide-4- …

The Role of Munc18 Proteins in Physiologic and Pathologic Exocytoses in the Pancreatic Acinar Cell
… (Syn)-4 and SNAP-23 on the BPM to complex with VAMP proteins on the granule to form the exocytotic SNARE complex that triggered basolateral exocytosis. This molecular mechanism of pathologic basolateral exocytosis was recapitulated in an Ethanol-diet rat model of pancreatitis. In Chapter Four, I …
