The Functions and Consequences of Intergroup Aggression among Argentine Tufted Capuchin Monkeys (<italic>Cebus apella</italic> [<italic>Sapajus</italic>] <italic>nigritus</italic>)
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-12)Intergroup encounters provide dramatic examples of cooperative behavior, in which unrelated individuals may coordinate aggression when mutual benefits arise from defending access to resources. While between-group competition ... -
The Functions of Atypical PKC and the PAR Complex in Axon Growth Inhibition
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-May-12)The failure of axon regeneration at injury sites in the central nervous system is due, at least in part, to the formation of a growth-inhibitory environment. The glial scar formed at injury sites contains numerous ... -
Functions of Interferon Stimulated Gene, ISG54
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-12)The ability of interferons to protect cells from viral infection depends on the activation of multiple interferon-stimulated genes that together induce an anti-viral state. One of the genes is Interferon Stimulated Gene ... -
The Functions of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury in an Adolescent Clinical Sample: Frequency, Structure, and Psychological Correlates
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-May-11)Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI; e.g., cutting and burning) is most prevalent among adolescents, especially in clinical populations. Understanding the functions of NSSI can help clarify the behavior's etiology and treatment. ... -
Gadamer's Hermeneutic Holism

Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Examination of Fear Generalization and Anticipation of Affective Stimuli
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Dec-12)Despite increasing interest in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) it remains one of the least studied anxiety disorders and little is known about its neurobiology. The aim of the current research study was to investigate ... -
Generalized isometries in superspace
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)N=(2,2) supersymmetric models are of interest for mathematicians and physicists and have been used extensively as a tool for the investigation of Kaehler geometry. It is convenient to formulate and manipulate these in ... -
Generating Video Frames with Depth Of Field and Motion Blur Effects for 3D Animation
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-May-10)Researchers in the field of Image Processing and Computer Vision have been working hard to understand and resolve the problems arising due to depth of field (DOF) effects and relative motion between the scene and imaging ... -
Generation of Conformation Sensor Recombinant Antibodies to Understand Redox Regulation of PTP1B
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Dec-10)Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) plays important roles in down-regulation of insulin signaling. Although it has been established as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetes and obesity, the finding ... -
Genetic analyses of the terminal protein (VPg) and of spacer II in the 5'-nontranslated region of poliovirus RNA
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-10)VPg is a small protein (20-30 amino acids long), which is present in every virus of the Picornaviridae family. A hydroxyl group of tyrosine at position 3 of VPg is covalently linked to the 5'-terminal UMP of genomic ... -
Genetic analysis of the GABA synthetic enzymes: from synapse development to activity dependent transcription
(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 ... -
Genetic diversity and gene flow in Zostera marina populations across the Long Island Sound and south shore estuaries
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-May-10)The dominant species of seagrass in NY, Zostera marina, has experienced several historical die-offs and is currently under heavy stress due to water quality and other anthropogenic problems. The consequences of these events ... -
