Ubiquinone (UQ) is a lipid found in all cellular membranes. It is involved in multiple cellular processes, either directly or through its effect on the redox status of the cell. clk-1 encodes a highly conserved hydroxylase required for UQ biosynthesis.…

This thesis examines seven of Devora Neumark's artistic interventions that activate an embodied transfer or continuity of knowledge. I am inspired by phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty's notion of "the flesh of the world," that is the element enabling a reversibility between…

New digital communication applications, such as multimedia, require very powerful error correcting codes that deliver low error rates while operating at low to moderate ratios (SNRs). Turbo codes have reasonable complexity and can achieve very low error rates if a…

Multi-drug or pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) is a universally acquired mechanism that is evolutionarily conserved. Saccharomyces cerevisiae serves as an excellent model organism for studying this phenomenon in pathogenic fungi, such as Candida albicans. In yeast, PDR is most often…

One of the primary challenges facing researchers and practitioners in their efforts to address issues of poverty and environment is the need to deepen our understanding of the logic that guides local people's decisions over resource use, particularly among the…
