The Unraveling Of America's Education System
This research project takes a critical look at the data that drives educational policies. This research project looks at the data at the national level as well as the regional levels in order to see if the data is functioning differently at the different levels. All data has been collected from the …

Unraveling the multifunctionality of human Spindly
Spindly was discovered in 2007 as a protein crucial for cells to progress through mitosis. It was shown to be required for recruitment of the dynein/dynactin motor complex to kinetochores thus to promote chromosome alignment and mitotic progression. Kinetochore recruitment of the dynein/dynactin …

Kimono threads: unraveling ontologies, epistemologies, and ethics
What is kimono? How do we know what we know about kimono, and whose voices matter? Who should (or should not) wear kimono? Repeated protests, social media engagement, and boycotts have underscored the exigent nature of these divisive questions, particularly for those interested in fashion, …

Precisely Loose: Unraveling the Potential of Particles
Random, irregular, erratic, arbitrary, unspecifiable, and unpredictable—particles. In a post-extractive future, our reliance on standardized materials, continuously sourced through the exploitation of raw resources, will no longer be sustainable. Instead, architecture will increasingly contend with …

Clustering biological data by unraveling hidden transitive substructures
… Graph Projection (WTGP), which aims for unraveling hidden transitive substructures in a given similarity graph deduced from a pairwise similarity measure. TC solves the aforementioned problems (2-5). The software implementation TransClust is an easy-to-use standalone and online …

Unraveling the mystery of leaf reddening in seagrasses
<p>Seagrass meadows around the world are declining due to natural and anthropogenic stressors, including global climate change. Recently, more attention has been given to identifying responses that offer resistance to stressors so that researchers can better manage seagrasses for resilience to …

UNRAVELING TAZ REGULATION IN BREAST CANCER BY CRISPR SCREENING
YAP and TAZ are transcriptional coactivators belonging to the Hippo signaling pathway. Their activity is regulated by a complex network of upstream signals. As consequence, they orchestrate a wide spectrum of downstream cellular responses. In physiological conditions, a precisely balanced …

Unraveling the Role of SNARE Interactions in Neurotransmitter Release
The release of neurotransmitters by Ca2+-triggered synaptic vesicle exocytosis is tightly controlled by an intricate protein machinery. Essential components of this machinery are the synaptic vesicle protein synaptobrevin and the plasma membrane proteins syntaxin 1 and SNAP-25, which are …

Unraveling the genetic determinants of virulence in Cryptococcus neoformans
Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen that causes meningitis, primarily in patients who are immunocompromised. It is most common in populations with advanced HIV disease in low- and middle-income countries, especially in sub–Saharan Africa, South America, and southeast Asia. Even with …

Unraveling the Dynamic Nature of Creativity in the Workplace
Recent research and theories on workplace creativity have construed workplace creativity as a dynamic process. Past research, however, largely examines the phenomenon using crosssectional studies that are unable to test these dynamic theories of creativity. Moreover, scholars have traditionally …

Unraveling Internet identities : accountability & anonymity at the application layer
Both anonymity and accountability play crucial roles in sustaining the Internet's functionality, however there is a common misconception that increasing the anonymity of Internet identities necessitates diminishing their accountability, and vice-versa. This thesis argues that by implementing …

Unraveling the Functions of Synaptotagmin and Munc13 in Neurotransmitter Release
Neurotransmitter release is a central event in interneuronal communication. The release machinery includes three SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor adaptor protein receptor) and Munc18-1 as core components. Munc13, synaptotagmin and complexin underlie the exquisitely tight regulation …
