During his life and even after, the poetry of Mexican poet and 1990 Nobel Prize winner, Octavio Paz, has provided academic fodder for many critics, teachers and students. The lyrical nature and open structures of poetry ...
Transcendent voices: Heteroglossia and the Power of Female Identity in Three Films by David Lynch
(2011-05-20)
In this thesis, I perform a feminist-semiotic analysis of three of David Lynch’s movies—Twin
Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire. I use Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of
heteroglossia as the ...
Transcript Analysis and Teacher Study Group: Improving Comprehension Instruction
(2005-12-15)
The purpose of this study was to determine if teachers’ participation in a teacher study group and transcript analysis would have an effect on the reading comprehension scores of their students. The 6 teacher participants ...
Transcriptional Adaptations to Low Salinity in Euryhaline Crustaceans
(2014-05-02)
The transfer of euryhaline crustaceans from full-strength seawater to low salinity is
known to induce a myriad of physiology changes corresponding with active ion uptake across the
posterior gill pairs. The goal of this ...
Transcriptional rearrangement by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in priming drought tolerance in plants
(2017-08-01)
In recent decades, the scarcity of water, referred to as drought, has become one of the most main problems in agriculture throughout the world. Especially since recent increases in human population, and the global climate ...
Transcriptome profiles of porcine oocytes and their corresponding cumulus cells reveal functional gene regulatory networks
(2018-05-31)
The oocyte acquires developmental competence as it progresses through folliculogenesis. It does so, by communicating with the surrounding cumulus cells in a bidirectional fashion. Analyses of single oocytes are essential ...
Transcriptomic analysis to identify candidate genes conferring gossypol tolerance in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum
(2018-11-27)
Fusarium oxysporium f.sp vasinfectum (Fov) is a soilborne filamentous fungus that causes vascular wilt on cotton. In response to pathogens such as Fov, cotton plants produce the phytoalexin gossypol as a defense mechanism. ...
Transcriptomic profiling of differential responses to drought in two freshwater mussel species, the giant floater Pyganodon grandis and the pondhorn Uniomerus tetralasmus
(2013-11-08)
The southeastern US has experienced recurrent drought during recent decades. Increasing demand for water, as precipitation decreases, exacerbates stress on the aquatic biota of the Southeast: a global hotspot for freshwater ...
Transdermal Delivery of Genistein as a Chemoprotective Drug for Melanoma
(2009-07-13)
Genistein is a soy isoflavone and it is a chemo preventative agent against various cancer cell lines including melanoma. The percutaneous absorption of genistein has been scantly investigated. Also, genistein has very poor ...
