Turkey-leg-tendon : a model system for collagen mineralisation
Turkey leg tendon (TLT) is used as a model system to explore the process of collagen mineralisation. Mineralisation takes place in distinct regions across the length of the tendon and is accompanied by a change in biomechanical properties of collagen. The collagen becomes more aligned and adapted …

Calibrating activity-based travel demand model system via microsimulation
… of calibrating activity-based travel demand model systems. After estimation, it is common practice to use aggregate measurements to calibrate the estimated model system's parameters. However, calibration of activity-based model systems has received much less attention. Existing calibration …

DNA methylation: a model system for the study of ageing
… However, at present there is no animal model system with which this process can be studied at a mechanistic level. Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly apparent that many disease states that increase in prevalence with age are not caused by all cells within the individual, but are …

Investigating non-canonical vertebral development in the zebrafish model system
… to address this dual mechanism in the zebrafish model, by testing whether the chordoblasts can mineralise and pattern the chordacentra. The second aim is to elucidate the role of the sclerotome in teleost vertebral development. To do this, I explored CRISPR knock-in tools to label the sclerotome …

Signal Transduction Effects Induced by Erythropoietin in a HNSCC Model System
… blood cells (RBCs). Erythropoietin (EPO) is a systemically circulating hormone in the body that regulates the production of RBCs and is applied to treat anemia. Recently, several studies implicated shortened life expectancy of cancer patients by EPO administration. It may be due to an …

A MODEL SYSTEM FOR THE CONCENTRATION OF REOVIRUS FROM AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENTS
… for the routine isolation of reovirus from model aqueous systems was developed. Reovirus was found to be stable within a pH range of 3 to 10, with a minimum loss of viability. A slight hydrogen ion excess minimized virus aggregation phenomena and promoted efficient adsorption of virus to …

Avian brood parasitism as a model system for studying multispecies interactions
… and their hosts are widely recognised as model systems for studying coevolution. Through the examination of tractable interactions between one species of brood parasite and one species of host, important insights have been gained on the processes that shape and regulate the world’s …

An Agent-based Travel Demand Model System for Hurricane Evacuation Simulation
… and develops an agent-based travel demand model system for hurricane evacuation simulation using these behavioral findings. The dissertation econometrically models several important evacuation decisions including evacuate-stay, accommodation type choice, evacuation destination choice, …

Single stranded DNA: A new model system for single molecule polymer dynamics
… double stranded DNA (dsDNA) has been the model system for studying single molecule polymer dynamics in non-equilibrium conditions. However, dsDNA is a semiflexible polymer with markedly different local molecular properties compared to flexible polymer chains, such as synthetic organic …

Hypercontraction and Drosophila : a model system for the study of human myopathies
… dystrophies and cardiomyopathies. Development of model systems in which to utilize high-throughput screens for novel compounds will help in drug discovery for these diseases. In addition, genetic model systems will allow us to dissect the molecular and cellular pathways activated in response to …

Study of the Cryptosporidium parvum DHFR-TS in the model system Saccharomyces cerevisiae
… We have developed a method using the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae to rapidly screen for compounds effective against the C. parvum dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme. The DHFR enzyme is essential and an effective drug target in other organisms. The yeast screening method …

From Flies to Mice: Drosophila as a Model System to Study Fat Biology
… costly health problems of our time - obesity. Model organisms are a powerful resource for the discovery of genes critical to human health and disease. Thus far, the utility of Drosophila melanogaster as a model system to study fat biology has not been critically evaluated. My studies highlight …

BAC transgene arrays as a model system for studying large-scale chromatin structure
… of defined genomic regions, and used them as a model system to study the mechanisms and functional significance of large-scale chromatin organization. The BAC transgene arrays recapitulated several important features of endogenous chromatin, including transcription level and intranuclear …

Interplay between electronic structure and catalytic activity in transition metal oxide model system
… cost-effective energy storage and conversion system. In this thesis, we demonstrate that the oxygen electrocatalytic activity for perovskite transition metal oxide catalysts primarily correlates to the a* orbital ("eg") occupation. We further find that the extent of B-site transition …
