Starting from the River Again. Community Processes to Regenerate Spoiled Ecosystems
Rivers and their ecosystems are a vital core of human societies: not only do they provide resources, in particular for rural economies, they also generate symbolic meanings in different cultures around the world. The Dissertation focuses on how watershed planning and management can be enhanced with …

A regenerate science : paradigms for science and theology in recent American fiction.
In this dissertation, I examine four paradigms for integrating science and theology as seen in literary fiction. First, I offer a theoretical approach to integrating science and theology, show some recent anxieties about science and religion, and provide a short history of literature and science. …

Design investigation of the Lake Calumet Complex: improving water quality to regenerate local industrial, community, and ecosystem resources
This design thesis is an inquiry of the highly industrialized urban landscape of the Lake Calumet Complex on the South Side of the City of Chicago. It examines geologic and anthropogenic strata within this region as waste used for staging various social, industrial, and ecological systems. Today, …

The development of a disruptive innovation response framework within the South African insurance context: adapt, regenerate, transcend (Art)
… findings has led to the development of an Adapt, Regenerate, Transcend response strategy framework, the ART framework, which describes these three broad response strategies and a further set of sub-strategies, that answer the question of how firms respond to disruptive influence and become …

Cover crops to regenerate soils and increase profitability in dryland crop production in the semi-arid central Great Plains
Replacing fallow with dual-purpose cover crops (CCs) could enhance soil health and increase cropping system profitability when CCs are grazed or hayed by providing an economic benefit to offset potential lost revenue when crop yields are reduced after CCs in dry years. However, there is concern …

THE ROLE OF NOTCH SIGNALING IN THE DIFFERENTIAL ABILITY OF SUPPORTING CELL SUBTYPES TO SPONTANEOUSLY REGENERATE HAIR CELLS IN THE NEONATAL MOUSE COCHLEA
… proximity to HCs and may have the potential to regenerate HCs after damage. These subtypes include cells of the greater epithelial ridge, inner phalangeal/border cells, inner and outer pillar cells, Deiters’ cells, Hensen cells, and Claudius cells. During embryonic development, progenitor cells …

An Iolausian endeavour : exploring why the regenerative capacities of insurgent actors weaken
… of their campaigns. Weakening this capacity to regenerate is thus a seemingly promising means of combating insurgent threats. However, being able to manipulate insurgent regeneration is far from a simple undertaking; one that a number of governments have struggled to realise. The central purpose …

Development of an Optogenetic Tool for Targeted Sensory Hair Cell Ablation in Zebrafish
… of sensory hair cells. Mammals are unable to regenerate these cells, leading to the permanent loss of hair cells. Research efforts are being made to stimulate hair cell regeneration in mammals and to repair genetic mutations via gene therapy to restore hearing. However, if sensory-deficient …

Activin signaling controls a wound-induced program essential for regenerative patterning
… is how animals determine what body part to regenerate. Planarians are flatworms that can regenerate any missing body part, and are studied to identify mechanisms underlying regeneration. At transverse amputation planes, a poorly understood mechanism specifies regeneration of either a head or …

Optimizing CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Targeting to Investigate Cone Photoreceptor Development in the Chick Retina
… the retina. Thus, the development of methods to regenerate these cone photoreceptors is an active area of study. In order to find ways to regenerate cones, the molecular pathways and gene regulatory networks that a retinal progenitor cell takes to develop into a postmitotic cone photoreceptor …

The Effects of Retinoids on Regenerating Axolotl Limbs
The limbs of amphibians normally regenerate only those parts distal to the amputation plane, an observation that has been formalized as the rule of distal transformation. The basis for this rule is the inheritance by the blastema of a cellular memory of its position of origin, termed positional …

Inhibition of myofibroblast contraction
… inserting both of its ends in a tube helps it regenerate. The regenerate is inferior to the uninjured nerve: it has a smaller diameter and poorer electrical conduction. Layers of contractile cells known as myofibroblasts have been observed around regenerated nerve portions. An inverse …

"The use of retinoids and an in vivo ""affinophoresis"" assay to analyze the cellular basis of positional memory in regenerating axolotl limbs"
… limb regeneration blastema cells normally regenerate only those parts distal to the amputation plane, and have been shown to inherit an expressed memory of their position of origin, termed positional value, by developing autonomously when grafted away from their normal limb site, and by …

Cerebral Organoids as 3-Dimensional Grafts in Traumatic Brain Injury
… as the brain lacks a functional mechanism to regenerate the lost tissue. Researchers have sought to develop cell-based therapies to regenerate these tissues using several approaches, such as neural progenitor cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and direct astrocyte-to-neuron conversion. Each of …

Modification of mineralized collagen scaffolds to overcome challenges of craniomaxillofacial bone repair
… missing from the skull or jaw which is unable to regenerate without surgical intervention. Examples of these include cleft palate birth defects, cancer resection, and high energy impact trauma such as those from battlefield injuries. Common strategies to repair these defects involve autografts, or …

Thermal regeneration of activated carbon for the treatment of drinking water
… utilities which use GAC must either replace or regenerate the carbon periodically. Thermal regeneration is one option for handling spent carbon.

Transcriptional analysis of the healing response of wounded nerves treated with collagen and silicone tubes
… that the discrepancy between the low-quality regenerate that forms in a silicone tube and the high-quality regenerate that forms in a collagen tube is due to differences in gene transcription. We used in vivo experiments on rat sciatic nerves with the use of real-time PCR to study the mRNA …
