The Art Of Surviving: Alchemy Of Healing Trauma In Relation To Identity: A Self Study., Rebecca Morgan
The Art Of Surviving: Alchemy Of Healing Trauma In Relation To Identity: A Self Study., Rebecca Morgan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The following thesis explores trauma’s physical and psychological aspects concerning identity as an artistic practice. Through exploring materials, subject matter, and media, my approach to trauma is based on personal and socially engaged experiences and my attempt to re-conceptualize that experience through the language of contemporary art. Extensively this work is governed by childhood memories and the critical aspect of being raised as a female in a patriarchal society. Being raised female comes with a certain number of expectations and requirements. This work creates a physical and spiritual connection between trauma and the identity of what is female. Discussing these …
Primary Cilia Of The Cardiac Neural Crest & Hedgehog-Mediated Mechanisms Of Congenital Heart Disease, Lindsey A. Fitzsimons
Primary Cilia Of The Cardiac Neural Crest & Hedgehog-Mediated Mechanisms Of Congenital Heart Disease, Lindsey A. Fitzsimons
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Elimination of primary cilia in cardiac neural crest cell (CNCC) progenitors is hypothesized to cause a variety of congenital heart defects (CHDs), including atrioventricular septal defects, and malformations of the developing cardiac outflow tract. We present an in vivo model of CHD resulting from the conditional elimination of primary cilia from CNCC using multiple, Wnt1:Cre-loxP, neural crest-specific systems, targeting two distinctive, but critical, primary cilia structural genes: Intraflagellar transport protein 88 (Ift88) or kinesin family member 3A (Kif3a). CNCC loss of primary cilia leads to widespread CHD, where homozygous mutant embryos (MUT) display a variety of outflow tract malformations, septation …
Assessment Of Cellular Alignment And Proliferation On Cellulose Nanofibril(Cnf) Films, Sahar Roozbahani
Assessment Of Cellular Alignment And Proliferation On Cellulose Nanofibril(Cnf) Films, Sahar Roozbahani
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Research on novel biomaterials to address current limitations associated with bone grafting is currently of high demand. Current treatment options for bone regeneration are facing challenges such as donor site morbidity and limited availability, immune rejection, and disease transmission. Research conducted on natural polymers to mimic Extracellular matrix (ECM)structure of bone tissue demonstrated their strong potential to spur bone regeneration. Engineered scaffolds that are inspired by oriented collagen/Hydroxyapatite (HA)structure in natural bone are promising biomaterials that can provide an ECM like structure for primitive mesenchymal cells to grow and differentiate to the bone cells. Cellulose nanofibril (CNF) is a natural …
