Deconvolution of Membrane Protein-Detergent Complex Interactions
… and the cohesive detergent-detergent interactions for four beta barrel proteins in five distinct detergents. Further highlighting the generalizable nature of this method, I show the feasibility of this method by using two single pass alpha helical membrane proteins SELENOK and SELENOS. …

Analysis of Synaptotagmin-SNARE Complex Interactions by One-Dimensional NMR Spectroscopy
… the neuronal synapse. The SNARE proteins form a complex that mediates fusion between the synaptic vesicle and plasma membrane. The protein synaptotagmin-1 is the major sensor for the calcium concentration. Synaptotagmin-1 and the SNARE complex are therefore believed to interact in order to couple …

The Complex Interactions between Genetics and Environment: Diet, Inflammation and Intestinal Tumorigenesis
Diet-induced obesity (DIO) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are important factors that contribute to the development and progression of cancer, especially colon cancer. DIO and MetS have reached epidemic proportions in the United States and are heavily influenced by diets high in saturated and omega-6 …

Mitigation of Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex: Interactions of Physiology, Immunology, Nutrition and Management
<p>A series of experiments were conducted to determine the effects of on-arrival vs. delayed respiratory vaccination and exposure to persistently infected bovine viral diarrhea virus challenge on health, gain performance, and physiological and immunological measurements in newly received stocker …

A constructionist view of complex interactions between inflection and derivation: the case of SMG and Griko
One of the most difficult, but -at the same time- interesting questions in morphological theory is the relation between inflection and derivation. This question lies at the heart of the problem of the architecture of the morphological component and thus raises important issues such as: (a) the …

Development of Mass Spectrometric Methods for the Analysis of Components and Complex Interactions in Biological Systems
… 4- dinitrophenylhydrazone (A007) forms complexes with pdelocalized lymphangitic dyes that allow its penetration through the skin effectively delivering it to a meta-stable type cancerous site. Previous in vitro studies, combined with gas phase mass spectrometry studies, have shown that a …

Navigating the Complex Interactions between Preinjury Characteristics and Postinjury Outcomes Following Mild Head Injury: Does Trait Mindfulness Play a Role?
Despite increased awareness of the link between mild head injury (MHI) and long-term negative functional outcomes, there is a relative paucity of research investigating modifiable risk factors that contribute to chronic post-injury symptomatology. To address this gap in the literature, the current …

Does the conceptual nature of worry contribute to its uncontrollability? : unravelling the complex interactions of some of the properties of worry
This project aims to examine a particular property of worry that some therapists claim interferes with the treatment of clients who worry. Research has shown that worry is predominantly composed of concepts or thoughts rather than images (Borkovee & Hu, 1990). In particular this project aims to …

Riparian resilience in the face of interacting disturbances: understanding complex interactions between wildfire, erosion, and beaver (Castor canadensis) in grazed dryland riparian systems of low order streams in North Central Washington State, USA
… state. To address this, my study documented the interactions between largescale wildfire impact, subsequent erosion events and dam building beaver populations in riparian systems of the Methow River watershed, north central Washington (WA), US. I tested the hypothesis that beaver increase the …

Patterns of shallow clouds and rainfall over the Amazon : climatic impacts of deforestation
… cold cloud patterns over the Amazon. Through complex interactions, the results reported in this thesis may have important implications for the local ecosystem dynamics of the Amazon, for the geomorphology of the Amazon river basin, for the flow regimes of the Amazon river, and for global …

Building and sustaining effective relational contracts in multinational firms
The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate how complex interactions in organizational transactions and behavior can be better understood by using theory related to relational contracts. Further, given this understanding, suggestions are made as to how firms can increase competitive advantage by …

Flow Visualizations and Measurements of Turbulent Structures in Drag-Altered Axisymmetric Compressible Base Flows
The complex interactions present in the recompression and reattachment regions of the flowfield are shown to de-stabilize the turbulent structure organization. The mean structure statistics of all drag-altered flowfields demonstrate that the dominant organization present upstream is significantly …

Managerial Thinking and Large Diversified Firms
… suffers from a lack of appreciation for the complex web of external and internal factors that confront the managers of these firms. As Grant, et al. suggest, the "total impact of diversification on performance depends on complex interactions between diversification strategy, corporate …

On the Understanding of the Coastal-Urban Nexus of Weather, Air Quality and Energy
<p>Urban environments exhibit complex interactions between atmospheric processes, building energy consumption, and air quality, particularly during periods of seasonal extremes such as summer ozone peaks and winter heating. Accurate representation of these interactions in urban modeling is crucial …
