Stress-signal recognition in the unfolded protein response
… ERdj4 derepresses IRE1α activity in cells (Amin-Wetzel *et al*, 2017). However, evidence linking these *in vitro* and cellular observations is sparse. Data reported here show that enforced loading of endogenous BiP onto endogenous IRE1α represses UPR signalling in cells. Furthermore, deletions in …

Competitive status of red spruce (Picea rubens) and Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) at ecotonal transitions in southern Appalachian sky islands
Southern Appalachian spruce-fir sky islands are globally threatened, boreal relict forests where red spruce (Picea rubens) and Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) are dominant. Fraser fir dominates at the highest elevations with spruce-fir and spruce-dominated stands at middle elevations and hardwoods …

An investigation of wave-induced momentum flux through phase averaging of open ocean wind and wave fields
This thesis presents an investigation of the influence of the dominant, wind-driven, surface waves on the vertical flux of horizontal momentum in the marine surface layer over open ocean conditions. Through a procedure which involves phase averaging the wind fields at the period of the dominant …

A Parametric Simulation Model for Evaluating Cost Effectiveness of Remote Monitoring for Risk Reduction in Rural Water Supply Systems and Application to the Tazewell County, Virginia System
A simulation model analyzes cost effectiveness of remote facility monitoring for risk reduction in rural water supply systems by performing a break-even analysis that compares operating costs with manual and remote monitoring. Water system operating cost includes the value of water loss (i.e., …

Characterization of an agrobacterial plasmid inducible for transfer by mannopine and evolution of the core replication and transfer functions of repabc plasmids with class i quorum-sensing and transfer systems
repABC plasmids are ubiquitous in the α-proteobacteria and are important to the biology of the bacteria that harbor them for several reasons. First, they can carry large amounts of DNA, thereby conferring a wide variety of important characteristics. Some of these traits are important for the …
