Synchrotron X-ray facilities have a tremendous impact in many fields of scientific research. Modern synchrotrons aim to provide collimated high brightness coherent X-ray beams. But due to its high power, no reliable detection ...
Polymer fullerene blends have gathered substantial interest in recent years for their potential technological applications, such as optoelectronics and photovoltaics. The performance of these blends is highly dependent ...
This thesis focus on the modeling and forecasting financial durations by the Markov-Switching Multifractal Duration (MSMD) model with using ultra-high-frequency (UHF) data. We first review the literatures of both of ...
This dissertation examines the geopolitical and cultural dynamics between European and Taiwan cinema. I explore how art house cinema were circulated and received at major European festivals—Berlin, Cannes, and Venice—to ...
It's Not All About Me is a wimpy patience's journey through the first year of cancer. Through journaling and email correspondence, courage was realized.
It is well recognized that cancer results from multi-stage mutation acquisitions. To this end, both intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to mutagenesis in cancer and subsequently the risk of cancer. To better understand ...
Durhamville: a Love Story is a collection of short stories set in the quirky town of Durhamville where children are legally not allowed. The result of such a law is a town of aging weirdos who are learning to celebrate ...
Multicilia are microtubule-based cellular projections that provide the motive force to propel mucus and debris out of our airways, cerebrospinal fluid in our nervous system, and the ovum in the female reproductive tract. ...
While the importance of the subventricular zone (SVZ) in brain development and homeostasis has become more well appreciated over the last few decades, many of the mechanisms regulating SVZ development remain unclear. In ...
Notch is a cell surface receptor that controls cell fate decisions in metazoans. Notch signaling is regulated by O-glycans attached to epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) repeats in its extracellular domain. Protein ...
This dissertation explores films that represent the Parisian banlieue (suburban ‘ghettos’) as a transnational space in two distinct periods: the early 1960s, when U.S. popular culture and French colonialism in North Africa ...
Many of the pathogens that cause disease are transmitted through physical contact, which makes patterns of social behavior potential routes of transmission. Questions about socially facilitated transmission are best addressed ...
Herpesviruses establish life-long infections in the host, characterized by phases of productive lytic replication, latency, and reactivation from latency. Gammaherpesvirus infections are associated with the development of ...
Wireless communication uses valuable energy especially because it is primarily done through battery-driven mobile devices. How we use energy revenue is a vital issue because people depend on this mode of communication for ...
A collection of poems in three sections exploring the complexities of memories, lovers, identity, and family through intimate meditations and their effects on an evolving, unstable life.
This dissertation studies the reception of Nordic painting in nineteenth-century France. I argue that the notion of so-called Scandinavian Art in nineteenth-century French literature, commonly referred to as l’art scandinave, ...
Obesity and chronic alcohol consumption have been associated with an elevated risk of osteoarthritis (OA). We examined here whether the administration of metabolic stressors in the form of diet compromised cartilage ...
Modern humans have flatter faces, wider palates and smaller teeth compared to chimpanzees and our early human ancestors. Many hypotheses concerning the evolution of the human face assume a relationship between the face and ...
