Through many recent remarkable developments, perhaps the most significant advancements in the study of transcriptional regulation are the development of genome-wide approaches for measuring gene expression, exemplified by gene chips (chip), and chromatin immunoprecipitation assa…
This document investigates the improvisational style of Johnny Hodges based on improvised solos selected from a broad swath of his recording career. Hodges is widely considered one of the foundational voices of the alto saxophone, and yet there are no comprehensive studies of hi…
The Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) family are a group of non-histone chromo- somal proteins with functions in many essential DNA processes. The HP1 family is high- ly conserved, and many eukaryotic genomes contain multiple HP1 genes. Individual pa- ralogs specialize in specific…
This dissertation examines cross-language phonetic similarity and perception, empirically demonstrating a link between transcription patterns and cross-language perception. The experimental methodology provides a technique for developing cross-language phonetic similarity models…
19. yüzyılın Osmanlı düşünce ve fikir hayatının önemli şahsiyetlerinden biri hiç şüphesiz Mehmed Murad’tır. Osmanlı Devleti’nin içinde bulunduğu buhran, dönemin diğer fikir adamları gibi Mehmed Murad’ı da çareler aramaya ve çöküşü önlemeye yönelik çalışmalar yapmaya itmiştir. Si…
This dissertation is a compilation of two research projects, one that deals with the transcriptional profile of rhesus rhadinovirus (RRV) and the other, the conserved viral protein kinase encoded by Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV). Project 1. RRV, a lymphotropic gamma-2 herp…
Trypanosomatids are causative agents of diseases of great public and international health significance. There is a vast literature on eukaryotic chromatin structure and regulation of gene expression, but little is known about the nuclear organization as well as transcription fac…
Over the course of nearly 100 years, Jewish music scholars have framed Joseph Achron (1886-1943) as a pioneering Jewish nationalist composer who, under the influence of the St. Petersburg Society for Jewish Folk Music (1908 - ca. 1922), gave up his cosmopolitan performance caree…
Energy production is a very important function for the cells to maintain homeostasis, survive and proliferate. Cellular energy can be produced either through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in the presence of oxygen or glycolysis in its absence. Cancer cells, even in the pres…
Recent years have seen significant advancements in the development of enabling technologies that facilitate the study of Transcription Factors (TFs). TFs are pivotal in the regulation of plant development, reproduction, intercellular signaling, response to environment, cell cycl…
Hyde's Introduction to Genetics teaches the principles of genetics with an innovative approach that emphasizes the basic concepts involved in solving problems as well as teaching students how to manipulate genetic data.
The practice of transcribing improvised solos has been a crucial method for jazz musicians to develop their improvisational skills and style since the early history of the music. Stylistic changes to jazz over time can be traced through the impact of innovative soloists and thei…
Johann Sebastian Bach’s Ciaconna from the Partita No. 2 in D minor (BWV 1004) was originally written for solo violin without bass as part of a collection of six sonatas and partitas. The Ciaconna has unique demands on a flutist: embouchure flexibility, breathing technique, tone …
In the twenty-first century, knowledge of Gustav Mahler’s work as a conductor is largely limited to his work in the German romantic repertory, with particular affinities for the symphonies of Beethoven and the operas of Wagner, alongside his advocacy of his own music. But a clos…
This dissertation examines and adapts for saxophone Three Fantasias, Op. 95 for unaccompanied flute by Friedrich Kuhlau (1786–1832), a composer of enduring popularity and respect among flutists. Musical repertoire written for saxophone began in the late 1800s, and became more ro…
Transcriptions, despite their prevalence, are still disparaged by a surprising number of educated listeners. This has always struck me as odd, since most of history’s greatest composers have at least dabbled in the art of transcription, and some have taken it on as a significant…
This textbook provides a distillation of the essential concepts of molecular biology, and is supported by current examples, experimental evidence, an outstanding art program, multimedia support and a solid pedagogical framework. It has a solid coverage of traditional topics, and…
