Modulation of Monocytic Activation following Spinal Cord Injury Reduces Secondary Injury and Neurodegeneration

Emmetsberger, Jaime Ann (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

Spinal cord injury (SCI) sets off a cascade of biochemical and cellular events that destroy neurons, cause demyelination, and trigger an inflammatory immune response. Microglia, the immune-competent cells of the central ...
Geometric Algorithms for Capacity Estimation and Routing in Air Traffic Management

Zou, Jingyu (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

We study various problems that arise from two inter-related fundamental computational problems in Air Traffic Management (ATM): that of estimating the capacity of an airspace that is cluttered with hazardous weather ...
Micromechanics of failure in porous carbonate and volcanic rocks

Zhu, Wei (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

Laboratory experiments, microstructural observations and micromechanical modeling were conducted to investigate the micromechanics on porous carbonate and volcanic rocks. A suite of limestones, two blocks of Alban Hills ...
Mechanism and Inhibition Studies of MenE MbtI and MenF Three Potential Drug Targets against Mycobacterium Tuberculosis and Staphylococcus aureus

Zhou, Rong (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

A detailed understanding of the catalytic mechanism of enzyme drug targets is required to guide structure-based drug discovery. In my thesis research I have primarily focused on the catalytic mechanism and inhibition of ...
Making the Vulnerable: Role of the State in Creating Inequalities in Urban China

Zhao, Zheng (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

In the sociological literature of stratification structure in post-reform China, the market transition debate in the 1990s has dominated this field by proposing competing arguments on who, redistributors or direct producers, ...
Annexin A2 and Microglia/Macrophages in Glioma Progression

Zhai, Haiyan (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

Gliomas are highly invasive brain tumors with the occurrence of numerous microglia/macrophages (MG/MP) in and around the tumor. Annexin A2 is overexpressed in many cancers and correlates with increased plasmin activity on ...
Front-End Read-Out System for Radiation Scintillation Detector

Yun, Xiao (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

Detection of various nuclear radiation sources is increasinglyimportant for security issues. A novel three-dimensional (3D)integration of scintillation-type semiconductor radiation detectorpixels has been proposed. This ...
Enhanced Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography for Pathological and Functional Studies

Yuan, Zhijia (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel technique that enables noninvasive or minimally invasive, cross-sectional imaging of biological tissue at sub-10æm spatial resolution and up to 2-3mm imaging depth. Numerous ...
Charmonium in strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma

Young, Clint Franklin (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

The heavy quark diffusion coefficient is the subject of a great deal of theoretical interest, with both phenomenology and AdS/CFT re- sults pointing towards this transport coefficient being small in com- parison to ...
A Nuanced Perspective of Sexual Orientation and its Relationship with Well-being: Differentiating Sexual and Non-sexual Attractions in Heterosexual and Sexual Minority Women and Men

Yoneda, Athena (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

Research has demonstrated that violating the norm of heterosexuality by endorsing a sexual minority identity is associated with poorer psychological well-being. Such studies have failed to take into account the multifaceted ...
The Role of Phospholipase D2 in golgi-architecture maintenance, vesicular trafficking and glucose- stimulated insulin release & Validation of a novel non- invasive approach to functional β-cell mass quantification

Yeku, Oladapo Olumoroti (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

Phospholipase D (PLD) is essential for different aspects of vesicle trafficking and regulated exocytosis in a variety of biological models. PLD1 and PLD2 are the two major mammalian isoforms and both isoforms localize to ...
Behavioral Relevance of Fine Timing in Different Cortical Areas

Yang, Yang (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

Neurons in sensory cortices can lock with millisecond precision to the fine timing of some stimuli, but it is not known whether or how this precision is used behaviorally. I addressed three issues related to these questions. ...
The role of working memory in visual search guidance for multiple targets

Yang, Hyejin (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

It is an open question whether the search for multiple targets is less efficient than the search for a single target. Here we explored visual search guidance for multiple targets by tracking subjects' eye movements, with ...
Genetic analysis of the GABA synthetic enzymes: from synapse development to activity dependent transcription

Wu, Xiaoyun (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

GABA mediates inhibitory synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain. GABA is synthesized through two glutamate decarboxylases, GAD67 and GAD65. My thesis addresses two questions of GABA signaling through the genetic ...
Simulation studies of hydrodynamic aspects of magneto-inertial fusion and high order adaptive algorithms for Maxwell equations

Wu, Lingling (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

Three-dimensional simulations of the formation and implosion of plasma liners for the Plasma Jet Induced Magneto Inertial Fusion (PJMIF) have been performed using multi-scale simulation technique based on the FronTier ...
The Influence of Pallial Mucus from the Oyster, Crassostrea virginica, on the Virulence of its Pathogenic Alveolate, Perkinsus marinus.

Winnicki, Sarah (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

Perkinsus marinus, a protistan parasite of the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), has been a contributing factor to the severe decline of farmed and wild oysters on the East Coast of the United States and the Gulf of ...
Decolonize Philosophy/Being Life: The Power of Discourse in Western and Africanist Epistemologies of Life and the Revolution of Language in AIDS Narratives

Wills, David Clinton (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)

Since Plato, Western Philosophy has offered accounts of creation entwining discussions from the philosophy of history, the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of race. These particular discussions are implicated by ...
SPH Simulations of Spiral Galaxy Interarm Structure

Wilhelm, Joern (The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)
