Global Proteomic Analysis Reveals An Exclusive Role Of Thylakoid Membranes In Bioenergetics Of A Model Cyanobacterium, Michelle Liberton, Rajib Saha, Jon M. Jacobs, Amelia Y. Nguyen, Marina A. Gritsenko, Richard D. Smith, David W. Koppenaal, Himadri B. Pakrasi

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Faculty Publications

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic microbes with highly differentiated membrane systems. These organisms contain an outer membrane, plasma membrane, and an internal system of thylakoid membranes where the photosynthetic and respiratory machinery are found. This existence of compartmentalization and differentiation of membrane systems poses a number of challenges for cyanobacterial cells in terms of organization and distribution of proteins to the correct membrane system. Proteomics studies have long sought to identify the components of the different membrane systems in cyanobacteria, and to date about 450 different proteins have been attributed to either the plasma membrane or thylakoid membrane. Given the complexity of …

Refining Our Understanding Of Howiesons Poort Lithic Technology: The Evidence From Grey Rocky Layer In Sibudu Cave (Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa), Paloma De La Peña

KIP Articles

The detailed technological analysis of the youngest Howiesons Poort occupation in Sibudu Cave, layer Grey Rocky, has shown the importance of blade production (with different knapping methods involved), but also of flaking methods in coarse grained rock types. Moreover, new strategies of bifacial production and microlithism were important. Grey Rocky lithic technology shows a really versatile example of reduction strategies that were highly influenced by the characteristics of the rock types. This lithic assemblage is another example of the technological variability linked to the Howiesons Poort technocomplex. The reasons for this variability are still difficult to elucidate. Discrepancies between sites …

Standardised Testing In Compulsory Schooling In England And Denmark: A Comparative Study And Analysis, K Andreasen, P Kelly, K Kousholt, E Mcness, C Ydesen

Plymouth Institute of Education

Within education, national testing is flourishing and, considering the important role which assessment plays in the production and reproduction of culture, it is important to examine further the possible impact of such practice. While England has a long tradition of national educational testing, Denmark, in contrast, has only recently introduced such tests. Thus the two countries present excellent cases for comparison and analysis in order to gain knowledge about the possible consequences of such testing schemes on pedagogy and the content of the school curriculum, as well as the impact they may have on pupils' perceptions of their potential academic …

Electronic Structure Calculations Of Monolayer–Protected Gold Nanoclusters To Aid Spectroscopic Analysis, Neranjan V. Perera

Doctoral Dissertations

The underlying goal of this thesis dissertation is to simulate small monolayer protected clusters (MPCs) via quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics calculations to derive electronic, structural, and dynamical properties. First we specifically focus on monolayers consisting of thiolated oligopeptides and alkanethiols. We construct MPCs with a layer of oligopeptides consisting of α-aminoisobutyric acid units. We use Monte Carlo simulations to determine peptide arrangements and folding. We then perform NMR chemical shifts calculations and compare to experimental measurements to validate the predicted structure.

The native -1 oxidation state can be oxidized into 0 and to +1 charge states. The neutral charge …

Nahua Perspectives On Natural Resources, Labor, And Social Well-Being, Alejandra P. Navarro-Benbow

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation analyses how indigenous communities from the Tlaxcala and Chalco regions of central Mexico responded to the exploitation of their knowledge, natural resources, and labor in the sixteenth century. In proposing social models that focused on natural resources and specialized labor, the Nahua directly influenced colonial economic policy and promoted a more ecologically sustainable model of colonization.

In developing strategies for incorporating the indigenous populations into the colonial society of New Spain, the Spanish monarchy relied on agriculture, mechanical arts, and commerce. This reliance led to the exploitation of resources, the adaptation of local industries and transatlantic commerce, as …

A Markerless Augmented Reality System Using One-Shot Structured Light, Bingyao Huang

Theses and Dissertations

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes computer-generated 3D and/or 2D information on the user’s view of a surrounding environment in real-time, enhancing the user’s perception of the real world. Regardless of the field for which the application is applied, or its primary purpose in the scene, many AR pipelines share what might be thinned down to two specific goals, the first being range-finding the environment (whether this be in knowing a depth, precise 3D coordinates, or a camera pose estimation), and the second being registration and tracking of the 3D environment, such that an environment moving with respect …

Hypertension Patient Compliance, Taylor Myers

University Honors College

Hypertension is a prevalent condition in the United States that often has many comorbidities. It is usually asymptomatic, so patients are less likely to comply with treatment if they feel healthy. This is a growing concern due to the complications that can arise from hypertension. Hypertension can be associated with a lower quality of life in patients that have symptoms. However, in patients that do not show symptoms they may feel that they have a higher quality of life by not changing their preexisting habits. The reasons for patient noncompliance will be studied as well as interventions to increase compliance, …

Die failure causes huge amount of maintenance cost and machines shutting down. Knowing the mechanism of die soldering and soldering resistance saves not only money but also reduces machine downtime. Industry has found that strontium, instead of iron conventionally, has significant effect in enhancing soldering resistance of H13 steel. Previous studies on strontium effect proposed the ideas that strontium changed the surface …

Independency Of Elasticity On Residual Stress Of Room Temperature Rolled Stainless Steel 304 Plates For Structure Materials, Parikin Parikin, David Allen

Makara Journal of Technology

Mechanical strengths of materials are widely expected in general constructions of any building. These properties depend on its formation (cold/hot forming) during fabrication. This research was carried out on cold-rolled stainless steel (SS) 304 plates, which were deformed to 0, 34, 84, and 152% reduction in thickness. The tests were conducted using Vickers method. Ultra micro indentation system (UMIS) 2000 was used to determine the mechanical properties of the material, i.e.: hardness, modulus elasticity, and residual stresses. The microstructures showed lengthening outcropping due to stress corrosion cracking for all specimens. It was found that the tensile residual stress in a …
