To maintain an effective barrier, intestinal epithelial progenitor cells must divide at a rate that matches the loss of dead and dying cells. Epithelial damage during most enteric infection accelerates cell proliferation and tissue repair via multiple stress responses. However, infection with the...

Wang, W., Wang, H., Wong, G.K.S., Zheng, H., Clark, T., Zhang, G., Kang, L., Wang, J., Shi, J., Wang, X.
Background Insects constitute the vast majority of known species with their importance including biodiversity, agricultural, and human health concerns. It is likely that the successful adaptation of the Insecta clade depends on specific components in its proteome that give rise to specialized...

Impacts of Recovery Rates and Terms of Trade on Strange Attractors and Predictability in Sustainable Agriculture
Download1994
Schilizzi, Steven, Apedaile, L. Peter, Freedman, H.I., Solomonovich, M.
Sustaining agricultural systems requires the ability to predict approaching extinction. Thus a suitable model needs to generate predictability as an intrinsic attribute. Such a model should provide several features for managers. It should incorporate learning about the minimum sustainable...

Implementation and Evaluation of Spatiotemporal Prediction Algorithms and Prediction of Spatially Distributed Greenhouse Gas Inventories
DownloadFall 2011
Growing environmental concerns require monitoring and modelling of greenhouse gases. These modelling efforts require processing of massive datasets in a timely fashion. This, in turn, can lead to feasibility problems when estimating values of missing data points. This thesis examines and compares...

Improving the accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction using structural alignment
Download2006
Gallin, W.J., Wishart, D.S., Montgomerie, S., Sundararaj, S.
Background: The accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction has steadily improved over the past 30 years. Now many secondary structure prediction methods routinely achieve an accuracy (Q3) of about 75%. We believe this accuracy could be further improved by including structure (as opposed...

Proteins, which participate in virtually every process within cells, implement many of their functions through interactions with various ligands. Although a substantial effort in characterization and prediction of protein-ligand interactions was observed in the past two decades, these subjects...

Myt1 kinase performs several functions during Drosophila development. Myt1 has firstly been described as a regulator of the G2/M DNA damage checkpoint in the developing wing disc. In addition, Myt1 has been shown to regulate several aspects of male and female gametogenesis, while also...

Investigating the Nuclear Roles of Iron Regulatory Protein-1A (IRP1A) in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2023
Iron is an indispensable micronutrient for almost all organisms. Either the lack or excess of iron can result in various human diseases. Therefore, to maintain cellular iron homeostasis, the IRP/IRE (iron regulatory protein/iron responsive element) system tightly regulates iron concentrations....
