Crumbs - 360 Kneading
DESIGN OF A BAKERY IN ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA Through the evolution of a baker's practices, we can understand the transitions of matter between bread, body and building. The food soil waste system of the bakery becomes an evolutionary process of recovery, remediation, restoration, replenishment, and …

Crumbs To Keep Them Full: Neoliberal Spectacle at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
<p>The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has been a fall staple in the U.S. for nearly a century. This event has the potential to make a significant impact on national culture due to its immersion in long-held traditions, the extent of media consumption, and the role of advertising. Unlike many other …

Cell Polarity Regulates Organ Growth Through The Hippo Pathway
… including overexpressing the apical determinant Crumbs, can lead to uncontrolled tissue growth. Cells mutant for the basolateral determinant <em>scribble </em>overproliferate and can form neoplastic tumors. Interestingly, <em>scribble </em>mutant clones that arise in wild-type tissues are …

Virtual Environment Usability Assessment Methods Based on a Framework of Usability Characteristics
… evaluations. We applied this methodology to Crumbs, an immersive visualization VE developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). A multi-dimensional framework of VE usability characteristics was a topic of research at Virginia Tech. This framework provided the …

Ultrasonic Sealing of Aluminum Foil Based Laminate Food Packaging Materials
… two contaminants, sweetened water and muffin crumbs, the seals still exceed specification. Ultrasonic tool vibrations could diminish the contaminants' interference with seal formation, and high-quality seals were produced. Seals contaminated with crumbs (more than 20% of the seal zone was …

Elucidating The Role of Rumi and O-Glucosylation In The Drosophila Eye
… including the transmembrane protein Crumbs and the secreted protein Eyes shut (Eys). Both of these proteins are required for proper eye development and mutations in their human homologs cause a blindness disorder named retinitis pigmentosa. Therefore, we sought to determine whether …

Increasing the bandwidth of social navigation during the prototyping process
… increase social navigation and demonstrate InfroCrumbs - a novel way of gathering relevant crumbs of information during the design process to create object use history, and share it within a prototyping environment. We suggest that such a system can be useful during the design process and that …

The Ephemerality of the Living and the Persistence of the Inanimate
… the now. I am interested in how the manufactured crumbs we leave behind as a species reveal our collective desires, and our relationship to the body and mortality. I am fascinated with, and even enchanted by, the proliferation of material objects and their tendency to surpass the lifespan of any …

The utilization and performance of carbohydrate-based fat replacers in southern-style baking powder biscuits
… Significantly (p<0.05) softer crusts and crumbs were observed with the fat replaced variations. All fat-substituted biscuits had significantly (p<0.05) higher moisture contents. Upon 24 and 48 hours of storage, staling was observed in all variations with the 100% variations having the most …

From Cell Shape to Body Shape: Epithelial Morphogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster
… of the groove cell-markers odd-skipped, crumbs and enabled, and we demonstrate that Hh-signaling promotes their accumulation. In addition, we describe the cell shape changes that lead to the formation of segmental grooves, and take a genetic approach to characterize the role of DRhoGEF2 …

Molekulare und funktionelle Analyse der p21-aktivierten Kinase Mbt (mushroom bodies tiny) in der Augen- und Pilzkörperentwicklung von Drosophila melanogaster
… involviert sind. Das Transmembranprotein Crumbs scheint ebenfalls zusammen mit Mbt in der Photorezeptorzellmorphogenese eine Rolle zu spielen. Außerdem weißen erste Experimente darauf hin, dass Mbt im ERK-MAP Kinase-Signalweg eine Rolle spielt. Durch die Entdeckung der direkten und …

Quantitative super-resolution imaging of cell polarity proteins using DNA-PAINT
… imaging of three apical polarity proteins (aPKC, Crumbs, Par6) in the fruit fly egg chambers revealed that they form mesoscopic-sized clusters along the cell junctions. In order to analyse these clusters in a quantitative manner, I collaborated with Leila Muresan to develop an image analysis …

big bang, a novel regulator of tissue growth in Drosophila melanogaster
Multicellular organisms need to control their size throughout development and adult life in the face of challenges such as rapid growth. Unraveling the mechanisms that regulate tissue growth in epithelial tissues, in order to generate organs of correct size and proportion, remains a crucial goal of …
