PROTEIN FUNCTION, DIVERISTY AND FUNCTIONAL INTERPLAY
Functional annotations of novel or unknown proteins is one of the central problems in post-genomics bioinformatics research. With the vast expansion of genomic and proteomic data and technologies over the last decade, development of automated function prediction (AFP) methods for large-scale …

Institutional interplay in global environmental governance
… by analyzing and assessing their horizontal interplay activities from the starting point of their genesis at Earth Summit in 1992 until today. In this research, I address the connections between the three conventions and identify the conflicting, cooperative, and synergetic aspects of …

Interplay of Polyelectrolytes With Different Adsorbing Surfaces
Finally, preliminary studies on dynamical properties of biomembrane surfaces interacting with polyelectrolytes are presented, using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). The significance is to characterize domains induced by polyelectrolyte binding.

Precision phenomenology of the PDF-BSM interplay
… interpretation of the data very challenging. The interplay between PDFs and BMS physics is an issue that is often overlooked in the literature and, in this thesis, we aim to explore it further. In Chapter 1, we begin by providing a review of the SM and, in particular, quantum chromodynamics and …

Interplay - An Architecture School for Duke University
Architecture is explored as an interplay between nature and a composition of forms. This thesis involves a project, an architecture school for Duke University, and examines the idea of composition as a type of â structured play.â Structured play is used as a method to study reciprocal relationships …

Interplay between selenium hyperaccumulator plants and their microbiome
The plant microbiome includes all microorganisms that occur on the plant root (rhizosphere) and shoot (phyllosphere) or inside plants (endosphere). Many of these microbes benefit their host by promoting growth, helping acquire nutrients or by alleviating biotic or abiotic stress. In addition to its …

Probing the biology of liver fluke-flukicide interplay
Fasciolosis, caused by liver fluke parasites of genus Fasciola, is responsible for reducing global agricultural yield in livestock animals and is a neglected tropical disease of humans. A limited portfolio of flukicide drugs are available, however treatment of the highly pathogenic acute stage is …

Interplay Between P53 and Epigenetic Pathways in Cancer
The human TP53 gene encodes the most potent tumor suppressor protein p53. More than half of all human cancers contain mutations in the TP53 gene, while the majority of the remaining cases involve other mechanisms to inactivate wild-type p53 function. In the first part of my dissertation research, I …

The interplay of pragmatic inference, face and emotion
The present thesis is concerned with the interplay of pragmatic inference, face and emotion. Pragmatic inference refers to inferences that hearers or observers make when attempting to arrive at speaker meaning, a process during which they presumably operate according to the Maxims postulated by …

A Choreography of Water, Light, and Space Interplay
This thesis explores the interplay of water, light, and space in a choreography of architectural sequences. Through the design of a spa, it explores how these elements can evoke sensory and emotional responses, shaping human perception and interaction within spatial environments. The project …

Interplay Between Keratin and Vimentin Expression in Oral Cancer
<p>Previous research in our laboratory found that inhibiting expression of vimentin, a marker of epithelial-to mesenchymal transition, inhibited cell growth and motility in vitro and in vivo. Tumors derived from vimentin knockdown cells showed features of epithelial redifferentiation and increased …

The Interplay between Interoceptive and Cognitive Components in Alexithymia
… a large body of research has focused on the interplay between alexithymia and interoceptive deficits. Yet, the extent of their association is to date unclear. This question is coupled with a further one concerning whether all or just a few features of alexithymia have clinical relevance …

The interplay between shape and colour: an experimental inquiry
This research deals with some perceptual aspects of shape and colour vision, and specifically with the relation between the widespread phenomenon of amodality in vision and the multifarious characteristics of colour appearances. The study is divided into a theoretical and an experimental part, and …
