Conversation Analysis: a study of institutional interaction and gender in a Russian classroom
DownloadFall 2009
This dissertation analysed the interactions between instructors and students in a language classroom in Russia. Using video-recorded data, instructor interviews, and student assessments from English classes at a private language school for children in the Urals region of Russia, a Conversation...

Differences in replication of a DNA template containing an ethyl phosphotriester by T4 DNA polymerase and Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I
Download2003
Reha-Krantz, L.J., Tsujikawa, L., Weinfield, M.
A DNA template containing a single ethyl phosphotriester was replicated in vitro by the bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase and by Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I (DNA pol I). Escherichia coli DNA pol I bypassed the lesion ef®ciently, but partial inhibition was observed for T4 DNA polymerase. The...

Epidermal Growth Factor-like domain 7 (EGFL7) is a secreted angiogenic factor that is almost exclusively expressed by endothelial cells. High EGFL7 expression occurs during physiological angiogenesis, under pathological conditions, and in solid tumor angiogenesis. Evidence suggests that EGFL7...

Heart transplantation (HTx) is a life-saving intervention for patients with end-stage heart failure. Nonetheless, the development of Chronic Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) limits the longevity of transplanted cardiac allografts and the survival of recipients. The pathogenesis of CAV begins with a...

Exploiting the Enhanced Permeability and Retention Effect for the Targeting of Tumors with 18F-SiFA Polymer Nanoparticles
DownloadFall 2017
Over the last several decades great progress has been made in cancer diagnosis and detection. One foundation of this progress has been improved imaging technologies. Among the most promising imaging technologies for cancer detection is Positron Emission Tomography (PET). PET imaging allows for...

The kinetics of forming a proper Watson–Crick base pair as well incorporating bases opposite furan, an abasic site analog, have been well characterized for the B Family replicative DNA polymerase from bacteriophage T4. Structural studies of these reactions, however, have only been performed with...

Manipulation of the Angiogenic Balance by Pharmacological Inhibition of Platelet PKC Signalling
DownloadFall 2012
Blood platelets mediate wound healing by preventing bleeding and by supporting growth of new blood vessels. Blood vessel growth is supported in part by growth factors released from platelet α-granules. Both platelet aggregation and α-granule release are mediated by intracellular signaling...

The placenta is an essential transitory fetal organ responsible for the key processes of nutrient, oxygen, and waste transfer between the mother and the fetus throughout gestation. Placental size is, importantly, known to correlate to fetal weight, and the malfunction and malformation of the...

Novel Insights into the Role of O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase in Glioblastoma Angiogenesis, Invasion, and Proliferation
DownloadFall 2012
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized by aberrant angiogenesis, rapid proliferation, and widespread invasion through the brain parenchyma. Thus, the prognosis for these tumors remains extremely poor despite aggressive multimodal treatment including chemotherapy with the alkylating agent...
