Defining Affective Working Memory
… maintenance, in order to further elucidate the defining characteristics of affective WM. It is hypothesized that affective WM consists of a single affective-arousal maintenance component, as opposed to valence-specific maintenance sub-components. Also, it is hypothesized that emotions are …

Defining Delivery Pathways of Nanoparticles
The goal of nanomedicine is to use nanoparticles to carry drugs to specific target site in the body. For cancer nanomedicine, a recent meta-analysis showed that only 0.7% of the injected nanoparticles reach the tumour. To address this delivery inefficiency, it is important to examine each …

Tonal Expectations Defining Narrative Archetypes
<p>This thesis examines the contributions of tonal analysis to narrative readings of three nineteenth-century pieces. The method used originates from the work of two theorists, Byron Almén and Fred Lerdahl. Almén’s 2008 book, <em>A Theory of Musical Narrative</em>, outlines narrative archetypes. …

Defining peptide structure with metathesis.
Understanding protein structure and function is central for the development of therapeutics for the treatment of diseases and also novel biocompatible materials. Herein describes studies on the control of peptide structure and function through synthetic modifications, for the synthesis of novel …

Defining the human endothelial transcriptome
Advances in microarray technology facilitate the study of biological systems at a genome-wide level. Meaningful analysis of these transcriptional profiling studies, however, demands the concomitant development of novel computational techniques that take into account the size and complexity of the …

Defining giftedness: an ethnographic approach
An anaerobic, cellulose decomposing bacterium was isolated in pure culture from the ingesta of a bovine rumen. The organia was a small, curved, Gram negative rod that occurred singly or in chains. The isolated bacterium was identified as a member of the genus Butyrivibrio because of its morphology …

Defining Sustainability Through Bentwood Lamination
What does sustainability mean with respect to furniture design and fabrication? How has technology - created and subsequently clouded - opportunities for new thinking? This body of work explores these broader questions and, more specifically, the efficiencies of bending wood. Historical precedents …

Defining gravitational singularities in general relativity
Singularities have been a long-standing problem in general relativity. In all other fields of physics, singularities can be easily located and avoided; in general relativity, singularities have an impact on the creation of the manifold, but, by definition, are not even part of real spacetime. …

Defining cellular microenvironments using multiphoton lithography
To understand the chemistry of life processes in detail is largely a challenge of resolving them in their native, cellular environment. Cell culture, first developed a century ago, has proven to be an essential tool for reductionist studies of cellular biochemistry and development. However, for the …
