Ablation of Doublecortin-Like Kinase 1 in the Colonic Epithelium Exacerbates Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis
(PLos One, 2015-08-18)
Doublecortin-like kinase 1 (Dclk1), a microtubule-associated kinase, marks the fifth lineage of intestinal epithelial cells called tuft cells that function as tumor stem cells in Apc mutant models of colon cancer. In order ...
A late-surviving apatemyid (Mammalia: Apatotheria) from the latest Oligocene of Florida, USA
(2015-12-17)
A new species of Apatemyidae, Sinclairella simplicidens, is based on four isolated teeth that were screenwashed from fissure fillings at the late Oligocene Buda locality, Alachua County, Florida. Compared to its only ...
ASSIMILATION OF RADAR OBSERVATIONS WITH ENSEMBLE VARIATIONAL HYBRID DATA ASSIMILATION METHOD FOR THE INITIALIZATION AND PREDICTION OF HURRICANES
(2015-05-08)
Data assimilation is a critical component for accurate model forecast. This dissertation investigated the ensemble-variational hybrid data assimilation methods using land based radar and airborne radar data for the prediction ...
Parallel programming in the classroom : analysis of genome data
(2015-09-23)
Over the course of a semester, students enrolled in an HPC seminar class created a suite of human genome analysis tools on the Beowulf clusters that they and other students built. The analysis tools were written with C and ...
Nocturnal Boundary Layer and Low-level Jet Characteristics under Different Turbulent Regimes
(2015-05-08)
The intensity, extent, and continuity of turbulence in the nocturnal stable boundary layer (SBL) is governed by many interacting processes and features. Generally, SBLs can be grouped into two broad categories: weakly ...
Curcumin Prevents Palmitoylation of Integrin β4 in Breast Cancer Cells
(PLos One, 2015-05-04)
Curcumin has been shown to mitigate cancer phenotypes such as invasive migration, proliferation, and survival by disrupting numerous signaling pathways. Our previous studies showed that curcumin inhibits integrin β4 (ITG ...
Central or Peripheral: Reconsidering the Place of African Americans within the American Intellectual Establishment
(2015-12)
Do we think of Frederick Douglass as a founding father of the modern social democratic tradition in the United States? Or is he taken as proof in our textbooks that a slave could indeed become a “great American”—proof that, ...
Three Papers in Applied Macro Policy
(2015-05-08)
The purpose of any applied macroeconomics study should be to provide actionable information to world governments on policy questions. This dissertation addresses two policies: the first chapter addressed the effects of a ...
Limitations and Potential of Complex Cloud Analysis and Its Improvement for Radar Reflectivity Data Assimilation Using OSSEs.
(2015-12-18)
The radar data assimilation is very important for improving short-range precipitation forecasts. Within the three dimensional variational (3DVAR) framework which is still the prevailing method used for operational regional ...
