On the importance of the choice of wind stress forcing to the modeling of the Mediterranean Sea circulation
Download1998
Myers, Paul G., Josey, Simon, Haines, Keith
A 1/4° degree ocean general circulation model is used to examine the role that four different wind stress climatologies play on the circulation of the Mediterranean. The wind stress climatologies examined are those derived from numerical weather prediction models (National Meteorological Center...

Veit, R. R., Banks, J. E., Holmes, E. E., Lewis, M. A.
Most of the fundamental elements of ecology, ranging from individual behavior to species abundance, diversity, and population dynamics, exhibit spatial variation. Partial differential equation models provide a means of melding organism movement with population processes and have been used...

Photoreceptors (the light-sensitive cellular mediators of vision in the eye) are divided into two classes: rods, which are sensitive to dim light and responsible for vision in low-light conditions, and cones, which are sensitive to specific wavelengths of light, and are responsible for daytime...

Nisbet, Roger, Anderson, Kurt E., McCauley, Edward, Lewis, Mark A.
Much ecological research involves identifying connections between abiotic forcing and population densities or distributions. We present theory that describes this relationship for populations in media with strong unidirectional flow (e.g., aquatic organisms in streams and rivers). Typically,...

Spatial ecology of cougars (Puma concolor) in the Cypress Hills: Implications for human-cougar interactions and range expansion
DownloadFall 2013
Cougar (Puma concolor) range is expanding eastward in North America. Understanding how range expansion is occurring in a human-dominated landscape is needed to manage the social and ecological implications of a returning large carnivore. To address this, I used GPS-radio collars and...

Multiple novel and rapidly changing environmental factors (i.e. anthropogenic stressors) are increasingly affecting ecological communities, and their functional roles in ecosystems. Consequently, freshwater biodiversity has declined worldwide; however, the functional impacts of this loss should...

More than 90% of human genes undergo a processing step called splicing, whereby non-coding introns are removed from initial transcripts and coding exons are ligated together to yield mature messenger RNA. Roughly 50% of human genetic diseases correspond to aberrant splicing. Splicing is...

Thuricin CD, a two-component bacteriocin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis DPC 6431, exhibits potent activity against the hospital superbug Clostridium difficile ribotype O27. The two peptides (Trn-α and Trn-β) that constitute thuricin CD operate synergistically to kill sensitive bacteria at...

Structure and dynamics of biomolecules: probing muscle regulation, prion protein unfolding, and drug insertion into DNA by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2011
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful approach to study the structure and dynamics of macromolecules in a close-to-native solution environment. In the present thesis I present my investigation of protein and nucleic acid structure and dynamics in a wide variety of biological...
