Zainichi: How Violence and Naming Determine A Consciousness
(2015-05-05)The purpose of this research paper is to identify how the post-colonial Koreans (also known as zainichi) who remained in Japan after World War II form their identity. The challenge within this question lies in the fact that ... -
Zebrafish Cardiac Development Requires a Conserved Secondary Heart Field
(2011)Despite its lack of septation, the tissue patterning of the arterial pole of the zebrafish is remarkably similar to the patterning of pulmonary and aortic arterial poles observed in mouse and chick. The secondary heart ... -
Zera Academy
(2016-04-28)Zera Academy is a boarding school for middle and high school aged youth who lack the access and necessary resources to achieve equitable opportunities. Zera leverages the brilliance of each child to improve educational outcomes ... -
ZERO DENSITY ESTIMATES FOR FAMILIES OF L-FUNCTIONS, WITH APPLICATIONS TO EFFECTIVE CHEBOTAREV DENSITY THEOREMS AND l-TORSION IN CLASS GROUPS
(2021)This thesis concentrates on several topics of number theory, including zero density estimates, the effective Chebotarev density theorem, and l-torsion in class groups.The study of the topics has a long history. In 1801, ... -
ZFP36L3: a Unique Member of the Tristetraprolin Family of RNA-Binding Tandem Zinc Finger Proteins
(2009)Members of the tristetraprolin (TTP) family of CCCH tandem zinc finger proteins bind to AU-rich elements in the 3' untranslated regions of certain cellular mRNAs, leading to their deadenylation and destabilization. Studies ... -
Zigzag Phase Transition in Quantum Wires and Localization in the Inhomogeneous One-Dimensional Electron Gas
(2013)In this work, we study two important themes in the physics of the interacting one-dimensional (1D) electron gas: the transition from one-dimensional to higher dimensional behavior, and the role of inhomogeneity. The interplay ... -
Zinc Oxide Nanostructures: Synthesis, Doping and Growth Mechanism
(2013)Over the past decade, the study of zinc oxide (ZnO) II-VI semiconducting nanostructures has been a burgeoning research area because of this material's unique electrical and optical properties. Despite the promise of its ... -
Zincative Functionalization of C–H Bonds Using Lithium Amide Zincate Bases
(2018)Carbon–hydrogen bond functionalization is a highly desirable transformation as C–H bonds are plentiful in feedstock chemicals and the direct introduction of valuable functional groups improves atom economy and efficiency. ... -
β-Arrestin Biased Signaling at the Dopamine D2 Receptor
(2018)Herein I describe studies I have undertaken that were aimed at understanding the mechanisms of achieving β-arrestin-biased signaling at the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R), methods for studying downstream mediators of ...
