The effect of lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) on α-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) binding to lipid membranes
(Brock University, 2010-03-09)
The a-tocopherol transfer protein (a-TTP) is responsible for the retention of the atocopherol
form of vitamin E in living organisms. The detailed ligand transfer
mechanism by a-TTP is still yet to be fully elucidated. ...
Impact of considering the effects of latent heat on caldera-hosted hydrothermal systems
(Brock University, 2010-10-26)
To investigate the thennal effects of latent heat in hydrothennal settings, an
extension was made to the existing finite-element numerical modelling software,
Aquarius. The latent heat algorithm ...
Mechanisms for sustainable accountability : a case study of a nonprofit educational organization
(Brock University, 2010-10-26)
A qualitative case study of the capacity to be accountable in one nonprofit
intennediary educational organization yielded an emergent conceptual framework of four
mechanisms: structural, governing, communicative, and ...
Using genetic algorithms for the single allocation hub location problem
(Brock University, 2010-10-25)
Hub location problem is an NP-hard problem that frequently arises in the
design of transportation and distribution systems, postal delivery networks, and
airline passenger flow. This work focuses on ...
Flow regime prediction via froude number calculation in a rock-bedded stream
(Brock University, 2010-10-27)
Mathematical predictions of flow conditions along a steep gradient rock bedded stream
are examined. Stream gage discharge data and Manning's Equation are used to calculate
alternative velocities, and subsequently ...
Properties and algorithms of the (n, k)-arrangement graphs
(Brock University, 2010-03-09)
The (n, k)-arrangement interconnection topology was first introduced in 1992. The
(n, k )-arrangement graph is a class of generalized star graphs. Compared with the
well known n-star, the (n, k )-arrangement graph is ...
Decoding algorithms using side-effect machines
(Brock University, 2010-03-09)
Bioinformatics applies computers to problems in molecular biology. Previous
research has not addressed edit metric decoders. Decoders for quaternary
edit metric codes are finding use in bioinformatics problems ...
Beyond child's play : wealth, status, and the death of children in the MH-LH I periods of the Argolid, Greece
(Brock University, 2010-10-27)
This study explores the mortuary remains of children from the MH-LH I periods
of the Argolid, Greece. This examination concentrates on how the child in death acted as
a tool for wealth and status display. Here, ...
Adenovirus-based exogenous gene expression in mammalian cells
(St. Catharines, Ont. : Brock University, Dept. of Biological Sciences, 2010., 2010-03-10)
Adenoviruses have been used as a model system for understanding gene
expression, DNA replication, gene delivery and other molecular biological phenomenon.
In this project, adenovirus was used as a model to study exogenous ...
Bioindication of ozone using milkweed plants in Southern Ontario
(Brock University, 2010-03-09)
Ambient (03) ozone concentrations were compared to ozone damage on milkweed
plants to determine if there was a correlation. Eight survey sites of at least 100 plants
each were located within 5 kilometers of Air Quality ...
