Changes in gene expression can rapidly influence adaptive traits in the early stages of lineage diversification. Venom is an adaptive trait comprised of numerous toxins used for prey capture and defense. Snake venoms can vary widely between conspecific populations, but the influence of lineage diversification on such compositional differences are unknown. To explore venom differentiation in the early stages of lineage diversification, we used RNA-seq and mass spectrometry to characterize Sidewinder Rattlesnake (Crotalus cerastes) venom. We generated the first venom-gland transcriptomes and complementary venom proteomes for eight individuals collected across the United States and tested for expression differences …

Glucose Signaling Is Important For Nutrient Adaptation During Differentiation Of Pleomorphic African Trypanosomes, Yijian Qiu, Jillian E. Milanes, Jessica A. Jones, Rooksana E. Noorai, Vijay Shankar, James C. Morris
Publications
The African trypanosome has evolved mechanisms to adapt to changes in nutrient availability that occur during its life cycle. During transition from mammalian blood to insect vector gut, parasites experience a rapid reduction in environmental glucose. Here we describe how pleomorphic parasites respond to glucose depletion with a focus on parasite changes in energy metabolism and growth. Long slender bloodstream form parasites were rapidly killed as glucose concentrations fell, while short stumpy bloodstream form parasites persisted to differentiate into the insect-stage procyclic form parasite. The rate of differentiation was lower than that triggered by other cues but reached physiological rates …

From Hybrid Space To Dislocated Space: Mobile Virtual Reality And A Third Stage Of Mobile Media Theory, Michael Saker, Jordan Frith
Publications
Research in the field of mobile communication studies (MCS) has generally moved away from focusing on how mobile phones distract users from their physical environment to considering how the experience of space and place can be enhanced by locative smartphone applications. This article argues that trajectory may be complicated by the emergence of a new type of mobile technology: mobile virtual reality (MVR). While an increasing number of handsets are specifically developed with MVR in mind, there is little to no research that situates this phenomenon within the continuum of MCS. The intention of this paper is accordingly twofold. First, …

Effect Of Controlled Burns On The Bacterial Communities Composition Over Time At Four Sites In The Yawkey Forest On Cat Island In Georgetown, S.C., Richard Thomas Pepple
Effect Of Controlled Burns On The Bacterial Communities Composition Over Time At Four Sites In The Yawkey Forest On Cat Island In Georgetown, S.C., Richard Thomas Pepple
All Theses
Fire is known to be capable of disturbing the composition of soil microbial communities due to changes in soil chemistry post-fire. These fire based disturbances leave behind higher levels of inorganic nutrients and toxic byproducts from incomplete combustion. Ecosystems are seen to recover from these disturbances given enough time. To determine if the controlled burns utilized on Cat Island in Georgetown South Carolina caused a disturbance, and if so to track the recovery from that disturbance, samples were collected from Cat Island over the course of 12 months from 03/07/2016 – 03/06/2017 from four separate locations. The pre-fire, post-fire and …

Evaluation Of Effectiveness Of Tannin Removal By Alkaline Pretreatment On Sorghum For Ethanol Production Blended With Corn, Franco E. Foglia
All Theses
Sorghum has been proposed to be a complement to corn for ethanol production. Several advantages have been identified while using sorghum in agricultural and technological aspects. One of the differences between sorghum and corn is the presence of tannins. These compounds are well known for binding proteins and especially affecting enzymatic activity. This is the main disadvantage that sorghum has for ethanol production. High tannin sorghum hybrid XM217 was used to analyze the effect of tannin removal by alkaline pretreatment of sorghum for ethanol production. In this process, 87.6% of the tannins of sorghum were removed. A laboratory-scale dry milling …

Exploring Interspecific Interactions Of Reniform Nematode (Rotylenchulus Reniformis) And Host Roots, Nathan Wayne Redding
All Dissertations
The semi-endoparastic reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) infects over 300 plant species. Females penetrate host roots and induce formation of complex, multinucleate feeding sites called syncytia. While anatomical changes associated with syncytia morphology are well documented, little is known about their molecular basis or the local impact on root development. Using a soybean (Glycine max) split-root system across a twelve-day time course, we identified over 6,000 genes that were differentially expressed between inoculated and control roots (FDR = 0.01, |log2FC| ≥ 1) and 507 gene sets that were significantly enriched or depleted in inoculated roots (FDR = …

Physiological And Environmental Impacts Of Nanomaterials-Biomolecular Coronae, Achyut J. Raghavendra
All Dissertations
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) exhibit unique electronic and optical properties, which are suitable for the broad spectrum of applications including biomedical, aerospace, textiles, agriculture. Such unique properties of ENMs also raise significant concerns over their adverse ecological and physiological effects. In the past two decades, ENMs were found to exhibit complex interactions in biological milieu. It is expected that physicochemical properties of ENMs and their surrounding environment influence their environmental and physiological fate and transport. Indeed, a comprehensive understanding of interactions at the nano-bio interface is critical to designing environmentally and physiologically benign ENMs pivotal to the future growth of nanomedicine …

Mechanical Characterization Of The Mesh-Tissue Composite Using Abdominal Wall Tissue Phantoms And Experimental Simulations, Mathew Murphy Stanford
Mechanical Characterization Of The Mesh-Tissue Composite Using Abdominal Wall Tissue Phantoms And Experimental Simulations, Mathew Murphy Stanford
All Theses
Abdominal wall hernias occur when a weakening in the muscle layer allows the protrusion of internal tissues. Hernia repair is a highly common surgical procedure with nearly one-million performed annually during which surgeons may implant surgical mesh to reinforce the weakened muscles and probe by hand to subjectively assess mesh fixation to the abdominal wall. Objective evaluation of mesh implantation relies on the mechanical characterization of the mesh-tissue composite, which is difficult in intra- operative settings. There is a need for tools capable of providing quantitative assessments of the mechanical behavior of mesh in situ. While several metrics exist for …
The Detrimental Effects Of Cigarette Smoke On Fracture Healing In A Bilateral Femur Fracture Rodent Model, Russell Abbott Reeves
The Detrimental Effects Of Cigarette Smoke On Fracture Healing In A Bilateral Femur Fracture Rodent Model, Russell Abbott Reeves
All Theses
Fractures that fail to heal (nonunions) substantially contribute to patient morbidity and overall healthcare costs. When nonunions occur in the absence of a critical size defect it is the result of impaired healing via one of the two distinct bone healing pathways: primary (intramembranous) and secondary (endochondral) ossification. Furthermore, the recent characterization of circulating osteoprogenitor cells (COPs) presents yet another important mechanism by which fractures may heal. Clinically, patients who smoke cigarettes are at increased risk of suffering from a nonunion; however, the mechanism by which this occurs has still not yet been defined. We sought to determine whether cigarette …

The Hot Hand Phenomenon In Basketball Revisited, Alexander T. Dahlstrom
All Theses
The focus of this paper is to summarize the economic literature of the hot hand phenomenon in basketball while adding in another study of my own. By using recent NBA statistical data, I will show the advancement and evolution of this widely held public belief that a certain number of makes or misses can alter the chances of the next attempt's success or failure. I start by recreating part of Gilovich, Valone, and Tversky's (1985) experiments with a larger set of data and finish by introducing Miller and Sanjurjo's fix to their method's biases(2015). The major finding is when a …

Bacteria-Mediated Delivery Of Mazf Mrna Into Cancer Cells For Induction Of Apoptosis, Maryam Saffarian Abbas Zadeh
All Dissertations
Programmed cell death (PCD), an active process that leads to cell suicide, is a critical mechanism in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In eukaryotes, apoptosis, a well-characterized form of PCD, is a gene-directed program that can be inhibited by some oncogenic mutations, resulting in the development of cancer. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) is one example of an intracellular death program that is present in almost all bacteria and comprises a stable toxin and a labile antitoxin that blocks the lethal function of the toxin. MazEF, one of the best studied bacterial PCD systems, includes a toxin, namely, MazF that cleaves mRNAs at ACA sequences …
