Somatic cell interspecies nuclear transfer
… vs. banteng female cell line 15%). Two banteng interspecies NT pregnancies were established and subsequently lost from the banteng male cell line. In the final study, the effect of a mixed mitochondrial population (heteroplasmy) on early embryonic development was investigated. Ooplasmic transfer …

The Interspecies Family: Attitudes and Narratives
… a widespread contemporary family form, the interspecies family. This mixed-method approach relied on both quantitative survey data and qualitative interview data. First, survey data from the 2006 Constructing the Family Survey were analyzed to understand who in America counts pets as family. …

Bacterial Interspecies Interactions and Microbial Community Assembly
… In this thesis, I also show that bacterial interspecies interactions in the C. elegans intestine are mostly competitive and hierarchical. Interestingly, simple two-species microbiotas can predict the composition of three-species and eight-species microbiotas in this nematode. Finally, we …

Species Panic: Interspecies Erotics in Post-1900 American Literature
… such as Donna Haraway is a sustained focus on interspecies erotics as a cultural driving force, manifested in the panicked literary case studies I explore. Cumulatively, the texts I analyze show an American literature still threatened by Darwin’s radical intervention in the history of science. …

Interspecies Pharmacokinetic Scaling and Metabolism of Alcohols and Glycols
… applications of alcohols andglycols, the interspecies differences with respect to their pharmacokinetics (PK) arepoorly understood. The aim of this research was to use in-vivo and in-vitro approaches to compare and model the PK characteristics across various species.Methods: Appropriate …

INTERSPECIES TRANSMISSION AND HOST RESTRICTION OF INFLUENZA A VIRUSES
… A viruses shows host range restrictions, interspecies transmission have been documented at many occasions. Swine have been proposed as an intermediate hosts for influenza viruses since they are susceptible to both avian and human influenza viruses and genetic reassortment up on …

Cellular/Molecular Analysis of Interspecies Sterile Male Hybrids In Drosophila
… contribute to the rich biodiversity on Earth. Interspecies hybrid sterility is a postzygotic isolating mechanism that affects the development of hybrids, rendering them sterile. A notable trend, known as Haldane's Rule, describes that heterogametic individual (e.g. males in Drosophila) are more …

Interspecies characterization and tissue engineering of the temporomandibular joint disc
… challenges by (1) exploring topographical and interspecies variation in functional properties of the TMJ disc, (2) developing an in vitro tissue engineering strategy capable of recapitulating native tissue characteristics, and (3) enhancing protocols for chondrogenesis of dermis-derived cells. …

The evolution of business ecosystems : interspecies competition in the steel industry
This thesis contributes toward the building of a theory of the evolution of business ecosystems by exploring the applicability of Piepenbrock's' theoretical framework to a commodity industrial setting, namely the U.S. steel industry from 1860-2010. As the evolution of business ecosystems framework …

An experimental investigation of interspecies variation in mechanical properties of cortical bone
Cortical bone has been found to display properties that vary greatly, with most previous work focused on human or bovine bone. The main aim of this research was to investigate mechanical properties of cortical bone from various species of animal (ostrich, baboon, crocodile and sheep) to allow for …

Genomic insights into the host range and interspecies transmission dynamics of Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is an important human bacterial pathogen with a wide host range, including livestock, companion, and wild animal species. Genomic and epidemiological studies show that S. aureus can freely transmit between different species, with some of these transmissions resulting in …

The role of bacterial interspecies communication in polymicrobial infection of the cystic fibrosis lung
… on P. aeruginosa and examine the role that such interspecies signalling play in infection of the CF airway. Next generation sequencing technologies targeting the 16S ribosomal RNA gene were applied to DNA and RNA isolated from sputum taken from cohorts of CF and non-CF subjects to characterise …

Metabolic and molecular responses to interspecies hydrogen transfer between Ruminococcus albus and Wolinella succinogenes
… in 1967. Based on thermodynamic principles, interspecies hydrogen transfer is a central process in anaerobic environments linking transfer of reducing power from fermentation of organic molecules to inorganic electron acceptors via hydrogen. Interspecies hydrogen transfer is the most …

‘Transfiguration’s coming’: An investigation of the depiction of interspecies transformation in medieval Irish literature
This thesis examines the depiction of interspecies transformation, that is, the transformation of living beings between species of animal including human, in medieval Irish literature. It spans texts written from the seventh to the fourteenth centuries, using the wide temporal range, along with an …

Of Mice and Maidens: Ideologies of Interspecies Romance in Late Medieval and Early Modern Japan
Interspecies marriage (irui kon'in) has long been a central theme in Japanese literature and folklore. Frequently dismissed as fairytales, stories of interspecies marriage illuminate contemporaneous conceptions of the animal-human boundary and the anxieties surrounding it. This dissertation …

Interspecies interplay between cyanobacteria and green algae - the first step to know why cyanobacteria produce what we call “Toxins”
… of the algal secondary metabolites in the interspecies interplay. The growth of the two species was inhibited in the culture filtrates of one another (˃ 25% exudates). The MC-containing crude extracts (˃ 140 µg/L) inhibited the growth of green alga. Moreover, the co-cultured species …
