Encapsulating sorptive materials and biodegrading microorganisms in composite alginate bead geomedia to capture and remove stormwater trace organics and nutrients

Tanmoy, Debojit S

Urban areas covered with impervious surfaces generate rapid and intense runoff during rain events and/or after snowmelts. Urban stormwater runoff is known to contain complex mixtures of both dissolved phase and particle-bound pollutants that degrade water quality of receiving waterbodies. The mixture of pollutants freq...

Dental caries management using a bioactive dual-action peptide

Fu, Yipeng

Dental caries remains a global health challenge, driven by bacterial acid production and characterised by a dynamic balance between demineralisation and remineralisation. Root caries presents significant challenges in dental practice due to its complexity and the need for careful restorative management. Current caries...

Break-induced replication as a DNA double-strand break repair pathway

Twarowski, Jerzy Mateusz

Additionally, this research investigated a related and poorly understood error-prone DNA repair pathway called Microhomology-Mediated BIR (MMBIR). MMBIR has been proposed to utilize short regions of microhomology to promote polymerase template switching leading to templated insertions and rearrangements that underly ne...

Three Essays on Applied Econometrics

Zhao, Bin

The first chapter investigates the long-term legacy of China’s family planning policies on intergenerational mobility. Drawing on a large-scale intergenerational dataset, it reveals how coercive fertility controls inadvertently reallocated resources across classes, thereby reshaping the landscape of social mobility. Th...

Impact of integrating response time into item response theory models on educational assessment

Park, Jun Hee

Three comparisons were conducted by using empirical dataset: (1) 2PNO versus hierarchical modeling under the timed condition, (2) 2PNO versus hierarchical modeling under the untimed condition, and (3) comparisons between timed and untimed tests. Results indicate that incorporating response time changed item and person...

Evolution: How We Use It, and How It Works Around Us

Patterson, MacKenzie

Natural evolution can be artificially accelerated and fine-tuned in a process called directed evolution (DE) to engineer biocatalysts with desired properties. Diversification, screening, and selection methods are user-defined, and the resultant engineered enzymes have been employed in a broad range of applications, fro...

R-loops’ effect on chromosome stability and temporal regulation of DNA double-strand break processing in the C. elegans germline

Hicks, Tara Lynn

DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) represent one of the most genotoxic and deleterious types of DNA damage. Their efficient and timely repair is essential and improperly repaired or unrepaired DSBs can directly lead to major genome catastrophe by way of chromosome rearrangements and cell death. Germ cell chromosomes endur...
