Land Value under Growth Control in King County
… topic in the field of urban planning, whether growth control is an effective planning tool overall and its potential impacts on land value have been discussed by a lot of literature, yet many of the studies reached quite different conclusions. The purpose of this thesis is to assess the price …

Investigating the role of DA1 in growth control.
… improvement. A detailed understanding of the growth of plant organs in general is paramount if such advances are to be made. Utilising previously characterised regulators of plant organ growth, this thesis explores the molecular mechanisms involved in the setting of final organ size. This …

The role of retinoic acid in glioma growth control
… capacity could be used to regulate cancerous growth. Using two established glioblastoma cell lines, the growth altering properties of retinoic acid, some of its synthetic derivatives and specific retinoic acid receptor isoforms was assessed. Results show that manipulation of the retinoic acid …

Role of ryanodine receptors in neuronal calcium signalling and growth control
<p>The versatility of Ca<sup>2+</sup> as a messenger regulating a myriad of signalling events requires that the concentration of Ca<sup>2+</sup> ions in the cytoplasm be highly regulated. Capacitative Ca<sup>2+</sup> entry (CCE) or store-operated Ca<sup>2+</sup> (SOC) entry, whereby the depletion …

Dissecting the molecular role of distinct binding interfaces on the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor in growth control and tumorigenesis.
… (pRB) functions to maintain proliferative control and act as a barrier to tumorigenesis. pRB is capable of regulating E2F transcription factors to mediate control of proliferation through transcriptional regulation of S-phase target gene expression. In addition, pRB can stabilize the CDK …

Investigating the parameters of metal-organic framework crystal growth control for reverse osmosis membrane nanofillers and direct air capture of CO2
… porphyrinic MOF, PCN-222, to selectively control its crystal size, aspect ratio, and dispersity. Size-constrained PCN-222 was post-synthetically modified with fatty acids and zwitterions to be used as RO thin-film composite (TFC) membranes with improved membrane flux, salt rejection, and …

An analysis of urban growth controls with resident landowners
… literature, this study develops a generalized growth-control model with resident landowners. It is shown that resident landowners have a weaker taste for growth control than their absentee counterparts. The reason is that resident landowners ignore the rent increase on the land they occupy, …

Cell Polarity Regulates Organ Growth Through The Hippo Pathway
… 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 eliminated and therefore do …

Systemic growth promoting actions of copper in weanling pigs
… were to examine whether copper (Cu) exerts its growth promoting actions systemically, to assess the role of feed intake in Cu-stimulated growth and to investigate the effect of Cu on the growth control system. An economical and convenient bioassay system using non-fusing myogenic BC₃H₁ cells and …

Microfiltration of Synthetic Metal Working Fluids Using Aluminum Oxide Membranes
… build-up in the MWF. Microbiological population growth can grow to potentially hazardous levels in extremely short time-scales. Membrane filtration systems designed to control microbial populations must remove microbes from the MWF at a rate faster than population growth. A model is developed to …

The Regulation and Function of Drosophila Acinus
Autophagy and growth control are two processes critical to organisms that mutually antagonize and regulate on each other. Several well known connections between these processes have been described, but here I describe a new link. Using Drosophila melanogaster as a model system, my thesis research …

The Effects of Atypical Protein Kinase C on TGFβ Signalling
The transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signalling pathway is an essential regulator of many cellular processes including epithelial growth control, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), apoptosis, and the establishment of developmental fate. Alterations in TGFβ signalling patterns are …

ROLE OF THE HISTONE DEMETHYLASE LSD1 IN THE REGULATION OF DIFFERENTIATION OF ACUTE PROMYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA CELLS
… of genes involved in differentiation and cell growth control as assessed by gene ontology analysis. Moreover, LSD1 modulates H3K4me2 levels at regions enriched in binding sites of master regulators of the myeloid/monocytic lineage, suggesting their regulatory potential. We also described a …

Sterol requirements in Drosophila melanogaster
… which are prone to have side effects. We have controlled the level and type of dietary sterol available to developing Drosophila larvae in order to investigate the requirement for sterol in cell membranes, and to distinguish it from the function of sterol as a precursor for signaling molecules. …

Serum Regulation of Inhibitor of DNA Binding/Differentiation 1 Expression by a BMP Pathway and BMP Responsive El
… serum stimulation. These genes are involved in growth control and differentiation and hence their expression is tightly controlled. Many IEGs are regulated through Serum Response Elements (SREs) in their promoters, which bind Serum Response Factor (SRF). However, many other IEGs do not have SREs …

Three Essays in Urban and Public Economics
… of public goods. In Chapters 2 and 3, urban growth controls (land use regulations adopted to restrict population growth and urban sprawl) are studied. The previous literature has shown that controls increase housing prices and divert population growth to uncontrolled cities. In Chapter 2, the …

Regulation of the Arf tumor suppressor by E2F transcription factors
… of two major signaling pathways, the pRB-E2F growth-control pathway and the p53 stress-response pathway. Members of the E2F family of transcription factors are key downstream targets of the retinoblastoma protein, pRB, and mediate the activation of genes required for cellular proliferation. …
