Human Muscle-Specific A-Kinase Anchoring Protein (mAKAP) Polymorphisms: Mechanistic Role in Cardiovascular Diseases
(2017)mAKAP polymorphisms may pre-dispose humans to CVDs by altering cAMP/PKA signaling in the heart. PKA-mAKAP interaction modulators can be developed as therapeutic target to augment current treatment of CVDs. This project was ... -
Human Signaling Scaffold Protein (mAKAP) Polymorphisms: Role in Heart Failure
(2013-05-07)Protein kinase-A (PKA) substrate phosphorylation is facilitated through its co-localization with its signaling partner by A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs). mAKAP (muscle-selective AKAP) localizes PKA and its substrates ... -
Humanity is Not Concerned with Us: The United States Congress and the Jewish Refugee Problem, 1936-1941
(2013-09-11)The purpose of this thesis is to expand on the existing historiography of the United States and the Holocaust by examining the actions of Congress between 1936 and 1941. By looking at congressional documents from both ... -
HUNGRY HUNGRY COWORKER: THE IDENTIFICATION OF LUNCH THEFT AS A FORM OF PERSON-DIRECTED COUNTERPRODUCTIVE WORK BEHAVIOR
(2016-05)Theft is a widely studied phenomenon in the workplace. However, much of this research focuses on organizational theft (i.e., stealing from the company), and no studies to date have investigated coworker lunch theft, although ... -
HUNTER: A Sterile Neutrino Search
(2017)Dark Matter is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in modern physics. Discovery of massive sterile neutrinos could lead to advances in modern particle physics, possible dark matter candidate. Current searches for the ... -
HYDROCARBON ACCUMULATION OF SHAHEJIE FORMATION, BOHAI BAY BASIN, CHINA
(2014-08)Only a few basin modeling studies have been completed at a depression-scale for the southern Western Depression, Liaohe Basin, Bohai Bay Basin Group. Such studies are essential for advancing our understanding of the ... -
Hydrocarbon potential of the northeastern Caribbean based on integration of sediment thickness and source rock maturity data
(2015-08)Over 72 exploration wells have been drilled on the Caribbean islands of Hispaniola and Puerto over the past century, but with no commercial success. A key question is whether these large Caribbean oceanic islands have ... -
Hydrocarbon Potential of the Upper Green River Petroleum System in the Uinta Basin, Utah: A Basin Modeling Approach
(2013-05)The Late Cretaceous Uinta Basin is a foreland basin located in northeastern Utah within the northern most portion of the Colorado Plateau. The basin's uplift and subsidence history and thermal evolution have impacted the ... -
Hydrocarbon Prospectivity of the Nicaraguan Rise and Colombian Basin, Western Caribbean Sea
(2017-05-01)The Nicaraguan Rise (NR) and Colombia Basin (CB) represents a vast, 1,160,000 km2, under-explored area of the western Caribbean Sea where hydrocarbon exploration efforts stalled in the period between early exploration ... -
Hydrodeoxygenation mechanism of Acetaldehyde on Ru(0001), RuO2(110), and RuO2/TiO2(110) from first-principles investigations
(2013-05)Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of acetaldehyde, a surrogate molecule for the ca. 400 oxygenates in bio-oil, is explored on Ru(0001), RuO2(110), and a RuO2/TiO2(110) overlayer surface using periodic density functional theory. ... -
Hydrothermal Syntheses, Structure, Characterization, and Structure-Property Relationships of New Mixed Metal Fluorides
(2014-08)Mixed-metal fluoride materials are of significant interest attributable to their important physical properties such as magnetic frustration, multiferroicity, ferroelectricity, magnetoelectricity, and non-linear optical ... -
I Am Dance...
(2017)Goal: figure out what the cultural impact and legacy was that African- American teachers/choreographers have on society and the dance world. Significance: Need to be informed of origin of the type of dance I am ... -
I like people who drink like me: Perceived appeal as a function of drinking status
(Addictive Behaviors, 2016-02)Introduction: Individuals rate opposite sex faces as more attractive after consuming or being primed with alcohol. However, other traits such as intelligence and likeability have not been examined and might vary as a ... -
I think I can’t: Drink refusal self-efficacy as a mediator of the relationship between self-reported drinking identity and alcohol use
(Addictive Behaviors, 2014-02)This study examined the relationship between self-reported drinking identity (SRDI), defined as how closely individuals believe drinking is a crucial aspect of their identity (Conner, Warren, Close, & Sparks, 1999), and ... -
"I try to connect with them on something": A Qualitative Study of Patient-Centered Care From the Doctor's Perspective
(2015-05)In today’s world, successful health care and patient satisfaction is not only dependent on the medical treatment patient’s receive, but also the relationship and communication that takes place between the patient and ... -
