Both E. coli ClpA and E. coli ClpB belong to the Clp/Hsp100 chaperone family. They share many common features, such as the same conserved motifs (Walker A, Walker B, Arginine finger, Pore loop, etc.), hexameric ring-shaped structure, and double nucleotide binding domains. ClpA and ClpB are closely related to each other. However, they participate in different protein quality control pathways. ClpA regulates cellular functions by either associating with ClpP to form the ClpAP complex (an ATP-dependant protease) to degrade unwanted polypeptides or remodeling inactive proteins to their biological active forms. ClpA can recognize specific sequences located on either N- or …
Immunoprotection Versus Immunopathogenesis Associated With Aspergillus Fumigatus Exposure, Lauren Lilly
Immunoprotection Versus Immunopathogenesis Associated With Aspergillus Fumigatus Exposure, Lauren Lilly
All ETDs from UAB
Opportunistic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus can cause a wide range of disorders depending on the immunological state of the host. In individuals lacking a robust innate immune response, invasive aspergillosis (IA) within the lungs can occur. In contrast, patients with a hyperreactive immune response can develop an allergic disorder called Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA). Using mouse models, we investigated contributing factors of host defense in IA and fungal asthma induced by Aspergillus fumigatus. The connection between fungi and the development of allergic disease has long been of interest. Previously, we have shown that beta-glucan receptor, dectin-1, is required for clearance during …
Implications Of Hatchling Sex Ratios And Survival In The Recovery Program For The Endangered Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle, Elizabeth Bevan
Implications Of Hatchling Sex Ratios And Survival In The Recovery Program For The Endangered Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle, Elizabeth Bevan
All ETDs from UAB
The Kemp’s ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) sea turtle neared extinction during the mid-1980s, but due to intense conservation efforts its population is now gradually recovering. Hatchling sex ratios and natural predation on nests and hatchlings have been monitored at Rancho Nuevo, Mexico to optimize this species’ recovery. Sand and nest temperatures were evaluated for the 2009 - 2012 nesting seasons in the egg corrals and on the nesting beach. Temperatures were cool during the start of the nesting seasons (i.e. below pivotal temperature), and gradually rose and were at or above pivotal temperatures by mid–May. Temperatures remained warm for the remainder …
Regulatory Mechanisms Of Pathogen-Mediated Cellular Stress Signaling In Arabidopsis Thaliana, Jon Lucas Boatwright
Regulatory Mechanisms Of Pathogen-Mediated Cellular Stress Signaling In Arabidopsis Thaliana, Jon Lucas Boatwright
All ETDs from UAB
SA is a vital signaling molecule responsible for activation of plant defenses against various pathogen infections. Pathogen detection activates salicylic acid (SA) biosynthesis which is paramount to local and systemic acquired resistance in addition to pathogenesis-related (PR) protein accumulation. Recently, NPR1, NPR3 and NPR4 were identified as SA binding proteins and signal transducers; however, conflicting results have been obtained concerning the nature of NPR1 as a SA receptor. These, and other, SA signaling pathways are often heavily influenced by phytohormone crosstalk, whether by inhibiting or potentiating effects. Pathogenic infection can additionally activate defense responses that require increased protein synthesis and …
Effects Of Loblolly Pine (Pinus Taeda) And Switchgrass (Panicum Virgatum) Intercropping Techniques On Intermittent Stream Macroinvertebrate Communities, Kelly L. Breland

Forestry management activities can influence hydrologic regimes of intermittent streams which can influence the macroinvertebrate community of these streams. To test the effects of various harvesting and intercropping techniques, five small watersheds (0.08-0.25 km2) in Greene County, AL have been monitored before and after various treatments. Modified rapid bioassesment protocols were used to sample each stream every two weeks prior to treatments and once a month following treatments. In an effort to capture the full seasonality of these intermittent streams, samples were collected for a full year following the first sampling date. Macroinvertebrate community data has been analyzed using multimetric …
Asset-Based Citizen Development: A Theoretical Contribution, Rachel Marie Hicks
Asset-Based Citizen Development: A Theoretical Contribution, Rachel Marie Hicks
All ETDs from UAB
Asset-based citizen development provides a comprehensive theoretical framework for the development of individual assets through a methodological process that incorporates asset-based community development theory, organizational knowledge management practices, and human resource accounting principles. Borrowing inspiration from John Kretzmann and John McKnight's (1993) theory of asset-based community development, asset-based citizen development concentrates on the asset and skill development of the citizen through collective opportunities for transactional exchanges of assets and skills with other community actors. Knowledge management practices and human resource accounting principles supplement asset-based community development by providing universities a systematic method for the organizational implementation of a process that …

The Fireball Brothers is a novel about two teenage brothers who, while swimming near their Alabama farm in 1959, come near a "fireball" that has fallen from the sky. From then on, the two brothers are joined at the shoulder. Because they can no longer do regular work to support the family farm, their father takes them on the road as travelling musicians. While travelling, they meet fellow travelers, snakeoil salesmen, freakshows, and beatniks. A reporter named Munford Coldwater takes an interest in the family and tries to help them while documenting their journeys. Taken as a whole, the novel …
Predictors Of Falls Among Older Adults, Jaspreet Kaur
Predictors Of Falls Among Older Adults, Jaspreet Kaur
All ETDs from UAB
With an aging population, more attention has to be focused on the needs of older adults, especially regarding medical and psychological concerns. Thirty-three percent of older adults fall each year, and falling is one of the leading causes of accidental death nationwide. The objective of this study was to identify predictors of falls among sedentary community-dwelling older adults (age 65+). The study employed a secondary data analysis of measures collected in the Physical and Cognitive Exercise Study (PACES). Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate whether individual or composite measures of vision, cognition, and physical functioning were associated with an …

Investigation Of Nanodiamonds With Si-V Defect Centers For Applications In Fluorescence-Based Sensing And Drug Delivery, Sonal Singh
All ETDs from UAB
Fluorescent Nanodiamond (FND) offers a promising platform for many therapeutic applications involving drug and gene delivery, optical agents for bioimaging and labeling, and molecular detection. This is due to the potential to incorporate photostable luminescent vacancy-related defects into sub-10 nm diamond crystals which are biologically compatible and easy to functionalize. Moreover, the development of future nanoscale devices and arrays based on nanodiamonds (NDs) will require precise spatial control. Hence, the direct placement and manipulation (control of size, shape and chemical functionality) of brightly fluorescent sub-10 nm NDs offers potential for highly localized /specific imaging and sensing, while also providing the …
The Effectiveness Of A Behavioral Summer Treatment Program For Children With High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder, Elisabeth Sheridan Mitchell
The Effectiveness Of A Behavioral Summer Treatment Program For Children With High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder, Elisabeth Sheridan Mitchell
All ETDs from UAB
Children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate a number of core social and behavioral deficits that affect their ability to interact effectively with peers. Despite recommendations to improve intervention programs for children with high-functioning ASD, few empirical studies have evaluated the effectiveness of comprehensive, skills building behavioral interventions. Previous clinical case studies documented that a behavioral summer treatment program (STP) produced substantial changes in behavior and social functioning for several children with high-functioning ASD. While the STP may be a promising efficacious intervention for these children, a quantitative examination is needed to further examine the effectiveness of the STP …
