A comprehensive assessment of peroxisome biology: ER-dependent peroxisome proliferation control, evolution of organelle inheritance in yeast and a Drosophila model system of Zellweger syndrome
DownloadFall 2013
The modern eukaryotic cell is a meshwork of encapsulating membranes that compartmentalize many distinct biochemical processes. It is complex. This complexity facilitates the many unique and diverse processes that aid the eukaryote in its growth, division and adaptation to its environment. A...

Fall 2017
The voltage-gated KCNQ1/KCNE1 potassium ion channel plays a key role in maintaining the heart rhythm. An active channel generates the slow delayed rectifier (IKs) current in the heart. Both loss-of-function and gain-of-function mutations in KCNQ1 or KCNE1 are linked to many heart-related...

A Comprehensive Dynamical Model for Human CaV1.2 Ion Channel: Structural and Functional Studies
DownloadFall 2019
Human CaV1.2 is a voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC), which plays an essential role to maintain a normal cardiac function. Any abnormalities in CaV1.2 can lead to serious cardiac diseases (e.g. cardiac arrhythmias and Timothy syndrome). Thus, understanding the structure-function-dynamics...

A Comprehensive Study of Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks for Noise Reduction in Optical Coherence Tomography
DownloadFall 2024
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been widely adopted as an imaging modality for various clinical applications, such as breast cancer screening, retinal imaging, and vascular assessment, due to its non-invasive nature. However, OCT is affected by coherent speckle noise, which impairs OCT...

Mirian HosseinAbadi, MahdiehSadat
In this thesis we propose a computational model of animal behavior in spatial navigation, based on reinforcement learning ideas. In the field of computer science and specifically artificial intelligence, replay refers to retrieving and reprocessing the experiences that are stored in an abstract...
