Membrane transporters play integral roles in the functioning of cells by controlling movement of molecules across the phospholipid bilayer. In this thesis, utilization of radioisotope uptake assays permitted examination of intentional and unintentional inhibition of three membrane transporter...

Background: The MS4A gene family in humans includes CD20 (MS4A1), FcRb (MS4A2), Htm4 (MS4A3), and at least 13 other syntenic genes encoding membrane proteins, most having characteristic tetraspanning topology. Expression of MS4A genes is variable in tissues throughout the body; however, several...

Human cells possess multiple nucleoside transporters (NTs) that belong to either the human equilibrative or concentrative NT (hENT: hENT1/2/3/4; hCNT: CNT1/2/3) families. In the kidney, coupling of apical hCNT3 activities to basolateral hENT1/2 activities is hypothesized to mediate renal...

Sacred Space and Community Identities: Sanctuaries in Broader Thessaly from the Archaic to the Early Roman Periods
DownloadSpring 2021
This study examines the roles of sacred spaces in Thessaly as agents in the formation, maintenance, and negotiation of group identities in Thessaly from the Archaic period until the beginning of the Roman Imperial Period in Greece. I demonstrate that the individuals who formed the communities of...

State inference and identification of discrete-time, non-linear, stochastic state-space models (SSMs) are considered here. A novel sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) based Bayesian method for simultaneous on-line state inference and identification of non-linear SSMs is proposed. Extension of the method...

In this thesis, time-varying behaviour, nonlinearity and switching dynamics are generally treated as multi-modal behaviour. Two multi-model modelling techniques, i.e., the linear parameter varying (LPV) technique and the switched modelling technique, are investigated to model the multi-modal...

Creative works are now increasingly distributed as digital “content” through the internet, and copyright law has created powerful incentives to monitor and control these flows. This paper analyzes the surveillance industry that has emerged as a result. Copyright surveillance systems identify...

The prevalence of obesity worldwide has increased in the last few decades. The risk of obesity comes from its association with various clinical diseases especially cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. In this thesis, we assessed the expression of some drug metabolizing enzymes and transport...

The Question Concerning Identification: A Tetradic Analysis of the Alberta Birth Certificate
DownloadSpring 2017
One little-noticed yet increasingly vital technology is the birth certificate. The existence of any technology transforms the environment, yet many technologies--just as the birth certificate--remain generally unnoticed or disregarded as neutral. Locating my research within a media ecology...

Müller-Reichert, T., Greenan, G., O'Toole, E., Srayko, M., Lange, K.I.
As part of a multi-subunit ring complex, γ-tubulin has been shown to promote microtubule nucleation both in vitro and in vivo, and the structural properties of the complex suggest that it also seals the minus ends of the polymers with a conical cap. Cells depleted of γ-tubulin, however, still...
