C-X Bond Formation With Tridentate Nacnac Based Pyridine-Imine Ligands And Study Of A Tetradentate Diimine Redox Non-Innocent Ligand
(2014-08-18)First row transition metals are attractive candidates for catalysis because they are much more abundant, cheaper, and less toxic than their 2nd and 3rd row congeners. Unfortunately, these first row metals typically promote ... -
The C. Elegans Homolog Of Drosophila Lethal Giant Larvae Functions Redundantly With Par-2 To Maintain Polarity In The Early Embryo
(2012-01-31)Polarity is essential for generating cell diversity. The one-cell C. elegans embryo serves as a model for studying the establishment and maintenance of polarity. In the early embryo, a myosin II-dependent contraction of ... -
Ca2+ Channel Independent Functions Of An Alternatively Spliced ß4 Subunit
(2014-08-18)The [beta] subunits of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are multifunctional proteins, which act primarily as a Ca2+ channel regulatory subunit to regulate trafficking and gating properties of pore-forming Ca2+ channel [alpha]1 ... -
Cadmium interactions with the roots in a flowing culture system and subsequent influneces on xylem sap thiol responses of Brassica napus
(2008-04-14)The research in this thesis was focused on cadmium (Cd) uptake and transport in Brassica napus, a plant with phytoremediation potential. Early efforts were targeted to development of a system to monitor Cd depletion by ... -
Caenorhabditis Elegans Host Cell Factor 1 Modulates Organismal Longevity And Stress Responses Via Coordinated Interactions With Multiple Nuclear Transcription Factors And Regulators
(2011-08-31)Aging is a complex process influenced by the environment and genotype. Numerous conserved genetic pathways and factors have been identified as key mediators of lifespan and stress responses in the nematode C. elegans. Host ... -
Cagecraft: Prison, Performance, and the Making of Carceral Subjects
(2018-05-30)This dissertation draws upon five years’ work as a volunteer teaching artist in the Auburn Correctional Facility, a maximum-security prison in Upstate New York, where I have co-facilitated a company of incarcerated poets ... -
CALCIUM IMAGING WITH THREE-PHOTON MICROSCOPY IN THE MOUSE BRAIN
(2018-08-30)Calcium imaging posed both opportunities and challenges for three-photon microscopy. With the development of genetically encoded calcium indicators, optical imaging has enabled in vivo activity recordings from increasingly ... -
Calcium Intake, Vitamin D Status, Placental Vitamin D Receptor (Vdr) Expression, Placental Calcium Transport, And Neonatal Outcomes In Adolescent Pregnancy
(2012-01-31)Pregnancy and adolescence are both periods of elevated calcium (Ca) demand. Pregnancy during adolescence places both mother and fetus at risk for adverse skeletal outcomes. The overall goal of this research was to address ... -
CALCIUM PHOSPHATE SOL-GEL COMBUSTION SYNTHESIS AND ITS APPLICATION IN BIO-INSPIRED COMPOSITE PRODUCTION
(2019-12)Crystalline calcium phosphate, CaP, in the form of carbonated hydroxyapatite, is the majority inorganic constituent of bone and teeth. Aqueous syntheses and amorphous/poorly crystalline precursors are established routes ... -
Calculations Of Turbulent Reacting Flows Using Pdf Methods
(2013-01-28)This work presents applications of the probability density function (PDF) method to several recently-developed turbulent flows, and the implementation and assessment of several sub-models. A series of lean piloted premixed ... -
Cambodian Genocide Museums And Memorials: A Medium For Transmitting Intergenerational Cultural Memory
(2010-10-20)This paper, based on field research and oral interviews with museum attendees in the United States and Cambodia, examines the role of four memorial museums in promoting shared intergenerational cultural memory from the ... -
Can A Milk-To-Feed Price Ratio Futures Contract Help Farmers? A Study Based On New York Dairy Industry
(2011-08-31)Dairy producers confront increasing price risks from both inputs and outputs as the prices of milk, corn and soybean become more volatile in recent years. These risks significantly affect dairy producer's profit margin. ... -
CAN AGROFORESTRY EFFECTIVELY INCREASE TREE COVER AND ENHANCE LIVELIHOODS IN HAITI? A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF COMMUNITY AGROFORESTRY IN THE LATIBONIT
(2020-12)Agroforestry is one of the few natural resource management practices that can restore degraded landscapes while simultaneously delivering food and income. However, despite these benefits, there exist numerous barriers to ... -
CAN DISTANCE HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON PERCEIVED VALUE? AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF GEOGRAPHICAL AND CULTURAL DISTANCE IN TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY
(2020-08)Any tourism experience is characterized by a certain degree of distance, not only in geographical but also in cultural terms. The existing literature suggests that distance influences the way in which people perceive events. ... -
Can Modern Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms Discover High-Dimensional Financial Risk Portfolio Tradeoffs for Snow-Dominated Water-Energy Systems?
(2019-12)Hydropower-reliant power utilities are becoming increasingly vulnerable to hydrologic variability in states such as California, that have suffered from extensive droughts and reduced winter snowfall. One such utility is ... -
CAN PLASTIC WASTE PROCESSING CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY? TECHNO-ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF SUSTAINABLE POLYPROPYLENE RECYCLING
(2020-12)There were 2.01 billion tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) produced globally in 2019, with numbers for 2050 projected to be 3.4 billion tons. Approximately 5-12% of the MSW currently comprises of plastic wastes, with their ... -
