The Role Of Neurotrophin Receptors In Taste Development., Da Fei
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4) are two neurotrophins that play distinct roles in geniculate (taste) neuron survival, taste innervation and taste bud formation. These two neurotrophins activate the same receptors tyrosine kinase B (TrkB) and a pan-neurotrophin receptor (p75). While the roles of these neurotrophins have been well studied, it remains unclear how much BDNF and NT-4 function through TrkB and p75 to regulate taste development in vivo. In chapter 2, I compared taste development in TrkB-/- mice and Bdnf-/-/Ntf4-/- mice to determine if these deficits were similar. If so, this would indicate that the functions of both …

The Role Of Private International Financial Capital Flows In Support Of Development For Emerging Market Countries, Jason Victor Reuter
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Economic growth and development are critical issues for emerging market economies as they seek increase their standards of living. Financial globalization, innovation and international financial capital flows are prominent factors influencing macroeconomic stability and the pace of growth and development around the globe. This dynamic has become even more pronounced since the Asian Financial Crisis at the end of the 1990s and the Global Financial Crisis starting in 2008. In the wake of these two global economic events, the need for reflection on the drivers of growth and development as well as impediments to these activities is warranted. This thesis …
