Going Nuclear: Exploring Mtor’S Transcriptional Role In Regulating Estrogen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer, Alek S. Torres

NYMC Student Theses and Dissertations

Global changes in gene expression are orchestrated by an array of transcription factors regulated by both extracellular and intracellular signals. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein kinase that ubiquitously mediates signaling networks across every cell type, in two active complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. By phosphorylating its downstream targets, these classically cytosolic complexes regulate protein homeostasis, metabolism, cell growth, proliferation and survival. However, evidence from prostate cancer studies reveals mTOR and its partners can occupy the nucleus, where its interaction with chromatin (in complex with transcription factors) has been shown to regulate gene expression at the level of …

Multi-Biometric Recognition System Based On A Specific Set Of Features, Zahraa Naji Razoqi, Raheem Ogla, Abdul Monem S. Rahma

The Journal of Engineering Research

Biometric techniques are replacing traditional passwords and Personal Identification Numbers since they are more dependable and secure. Unimodal biometric systems have various challenges, including non-universality and noisy data. The systems that use multiple modalities of biometrics can help overcome some of these restrictions, but retrieval and matching processes are time-consuming due to the high-dimensional nature of biometric data. This research proposes a serial multi-biometric recognition system using iris and face models based on only 16 features. Iris features are retrieved after splitting the region of interest into (2 × 2) blocks and computing the mean, standard deviation, and energy values …
