Interaction Proteomics of Autism Spectrum Disorder- and Intellectual Disability-Associated Proteins Identifies a Novel Hap1-Tsc1 Signaling Link that Controls Neuronal mTORC1 Signaling and Pyramidal Neuron Morphogenesis
(2013-10-18)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) are neurodevelopmental disorders of cognition that remain incompletely understood. Here, using a computation-assisted interaction proteomics approach in neural ...
Structure and development of Rafflesiaceae
(2013-10-17)
Rafflesiaceae produce the largest flowers among all flowering plants, measuring up to a meter in diameter and weighting 7 kg, and have been a source of amazement since their discovery about two centuries ago. In addition ...
Quantum Jump Spectroscopy of a Single Electron in a New and Improved Apparatus
(2013-10-15)
The 2008 measurement of the electron magnetic moment is the most precisely measured property of an elementary particle, with an astonishing precision of 0.28 parts per trillion. It makes possible the most precise determination ...
Microbe-electrode interactions: The chemico-physical environment and electron transfer
(2013-10-14)
This thesis presents studies that examine microbial extracellular electron transfer that an emphasis characterizing how environmental conditions influence electron flux between microbes and a solid-phase electron donor or ...
Computer Simulations of Protein Folding and Evolution
(2013-10-14)
Computer simulations for investigating protein folding and evolution are presented. In chapter 1, an all-atom model with a knowledge-based potential is used to study the folding kinetics of Formin-Binding protein. We study ...
Visionary Realities: Documentary Cinema in Socialist China
(2013-10-11)
This dissertation examines documentary cinema in Socialist China as an emerging technology of mass politics, a new medium for creating political imaginaries and writing history, and a global vernacular connecting China to ...
Molecular Dissection of Neural Circuits Underlying Parental Behavior in Mice
(2013-10-18)
Mice display robust and stereotyped behaviors towards pups: virgin males typically attack pups, while virgin females and sexually experienced males display parental care. I show here that virgin males that are genetically ...
Protoplanetary Disks in Multiple Star Systems
(2013-10-18)
Most stars are born in multiple systems, so the presence of a stellar companion may commonly influence planet formation. Theory indicates that companions may inhibit planet formation in two ways. First, dynamical ...
Neoclassical Medicine: Transformations in the Hippocratic Medical Tradition from Galen to the Articella.

Neoclassical Medicine: Transformations in the
Duties of Rescue: a Moderate Account
(2013-10-18)
This dissertation clarifies a challenge present in Peter Singer's famine-relief argument and offers a new account of our moral duties of rescue. The challenge, in essence, is to differentiate two classes of idealized ...
