GABAA Receptors and Tonic Inhibition: Towards an Improved Understanding of Agonist Binding and in vivo Expression of the Extrasynaptic a4b3d Subtype
DownloadFall 2013
The GABAA receptor is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor in the central nervous system. Receptors containing the delta subunit generate tonic inhibition due to their extrasynaptic expression, high affinity for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and slow densensitization kinetics. The...

Development of the vertebrate ocular structures requires the cooperative interactions of transcription factors, signalling proteins, external growth factors, and epigenetic regulatory factors. Consequently, misregulation of these cues can result in a number of developmental and functional...

Children’s outdoor play (OP) has been consistently declining over recent decades. As such, OP research has increased; however, important gaps remain in the literature, especially for preschool-aged children (3-5 years). Specifically, there is a need to better understand the health benefits of OP,...

The developmental programs of maturing seed and fruit in pea (Pisum sativum L.) are tightly controlled by the interactions of several phytohormones, including gibberellins (GAs), auxins, and abscisic acid (ABA). To more fully understand these hormone networks and their roles in controlling...

Impact Evaluation of Climate Smart Agriculture Program Investments in Food Security Using Machine Learning Estimators
DownloadSpring 2023
Smallholder farmers in rural regions of developing countries are often vulnerable to climate events. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) seeks to sustain or improve agricultural yields while mitigating climate change. The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS)...

Integrative analysis of the developing diaphragm provides a better understanding of congenital diaphragmatic hernia
DownloadFall 2023
Introduction: Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a condition that affects 2.3 births every 10,000 and is characterized by an incomplete formation of the diaphragm. As a result of the incomplete development of the diaphragm, the abdominal organs will protrude into the thoracic cavity,...

Investigating Cultures of Food Security: Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Gender in Rural Kongwa, Tanzania
DownloadSpring 2015
This thesis examines two cultural components of food security in rural Tanzania, specifically gendered mobilities and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in the District of Kongwa. Drawing on critical and focused ethnographic principles, intra-household data was collected from 27 households in...

Investigating the Effects of N2-Acetylphenelzine in the Sexes in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
DownloadFall 2017
Chronic pain is a highly prevalent symptom in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and affects approximately half of patients at some stage of the disease. MS affects women more frequently than men and neuropathic pain is also reported as more severe, and frequent, in females with the disease. The underlying...

In the perimenopausal period, an event marked by end of menstrual cycle regularity, women are at a greater risk of either experiencing a reoccurrence of a major depressive episode (MDE), or presenting with their first MDE. This risk is greater in women with a history of mood vulnerability related...

Phosphate is important for a variety of physiological functions, including the composition of bone via formation of the calcium-phosphate salt hydroxyapatite. Given that bone mineralization occurs very rapidly early in life, young mammals require high phosphate absorption to establish and...
