Background:Staphylococcus aureus exhibits tropisms to many distinct animal hosts. While spillover events can occur wherever there is an interface between host species, changes in host tropism only occur with...

Decomposing the Humanities
S Connor
Feb 07, 2017
Drawing deeply from the example of Michel Serres, Bruno Latour’s work represents a critique of the commitment to critique which has become the dominant mode of much work in the humanities. Latour’s An Inquiry into Modes of...
Towards the Homotopy Type of the Morse Complex
Connor Donovan

Characterizing the Interaction of MAGUK Scaffold Protein PSD-95 With Synaptic Adhesion Protein Slitrk2
Connor Loomis

Penalized smoothing splines resolve the curvature identifiability problem in age-period-cohort models with unequal intervals
Age-period-cohort (APC) models are frequently used in a variety of health and demographic-related outcomes. Fitting and interpreting APC models to data in equal intervals (equal age and period widths) is nontrivial due to the...

A Discrete Morse Approach for Computing Homotopy Types: An Exploration of the Morse, Generalized Morse, Matching, and Independence Complexes
Connor Donovan
Jan 01, 0001
In this thesis, we study possible homotopy types of four families of simplicial complexes-the Morse complex, the generalized Morse complex, the matching complex, and the independence complex-using discrete Morse theory. Given a...

Role of protein concentration on transient film thickness in synovial fluid lubricated joints
A computational model of protein aggregation lubrication has been developed for predicting transient behaviour in lubricated prosthetics. The model uses an advection-diffusion equation to simulate protein transport in order to...
Neuroimaging in schizophrenia
Over the last five decades, a large body of evidence has accrued for structural and metabolic brain alterations in schizophrenia. Here we provide an overview of these findings, focusing on measures that have traditionally been...
Origin and function of the yolk sac in primate embryogenesis.
Human embryogenesis is hallmarked by two phases of yolk sac development. The primate hypoblast gives rise to a transient primary yolk sac, which is rapidly superseded by a secondary yolk sac during gastrulation. Moreover...
