Production of ryanodine receptor calcium release channel ATP-binding site mutants
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are a class of mammalian ion channels which are the primary efflux pathways for the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. They play a critical role in muscle excitation-contraction ... -
Provenance Analysis of the Bouse Formation, Lower Colorado River from Detrital Zircon (U-Th)/Pb Geochronology
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)The timing and mechanism of Colorado River integration from the Grand Canyon to the Gulf of California have long been debated. Early research proposed river integration developed “bottom-up” due to Pliocene marine incursion ... -
Oracle Guided Image Synthesis with Relative Queries
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Isolating and controlling specific features in the outputs of generative models in a user-friendly way is a difficult and open-ended problem. We develop techniques that allow a user to generate an image they are envisioning ... -
Emotional wellbeing in those with chronic illness due to a genetic mutation in valosin-containing protein
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Valosin-containing protein (VCP) is a ubiquitous protein and a member of the ATPases Associated with a variety of cellular Activities (AAA proteins) superfamily. VCP has many functions in the cell including protein quality ... -
Predicting Metabolic Cost Using Cumulative Muscle Activation Per unit Distance
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Many studies are currently being conducted in order to optimize the functions of exoskeletons in a way that generates the greatest benefit for the user. However, this research is hampered by the traditional methodology of ... -
Intelligent Buffer Pool Prefetching
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Buffer pools are essential for disk-based database management system (DBMS) performance as accessing memory on disk is orders of magnitude more expensive than accessing data in-memory. As such, one of the most important ... -
Identifying the potential effect of zolmitriptan on the 1b pathway of Golgi tendon organs in regulating intermuscular inhibition in the extremities to find a link in the mechanism of spasticity
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)The deep dorsal horn (DDH) of the spinal cord is a major integration center for receiving a variety of neural projections from the brainstem as well as a variety of afferent inputs from muscle spindles and Golgi tendon ... -
BrainBraille: Towards Passive Training in Brain-Computer Interfaces using fNIRS
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating movement disability that causes patients to gradually lose their ability to voluntarily control their muscles. In some cases, patients who are "locked-in" are unable ... -
Forecasting Atlanta Gentrification with Transformers
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Gentrification is an impactful trend in American cities, yet our ability to measure and predict this process remains weak. This thesis explores the use of machine learning to predict gentrification in Atlanta, Georgia. We ... -
Developing a Recommendation-Based Application to Help Endocrinologists Treat Type II Diabetes Mellitus
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Diabetes Mellitus type II is a disease characterized by abnormally high levels of glucose in the bloodstream (hyperglycemia) due to decreased insulin secretion, insulin resistance, or both. It affects approximately 425 ... -
Fighting on Facebook: Political Conversations Between Strong and Weak Ties
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Most Facebook users have observed a heated disagreement on the site, or been involved in such a disagreement themselves. Why do we get into these disagreements and who are we fighting with? Are we learning anything from ... -
Evaluating the Predictive Performance of Genomic Data-based Machine Learning Models for 4 Different Mental Health Disorders
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-01-18)Clinical psychiatry can greatly benefit from using polygenic risk scores (PRS) to assess the risk of developing certain mental health disorders. While the PRS performance can be evaluated considering exclusively the disorder, ... -
Usability Study of ImageScape Integration in the Prolonged Exposure Collective Sensing System (PECSS)
