Hayashi, Samantha | The Mechanism of Lysosome Movement During ER Stress | The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a cellular organelle responsible for the synthesis and folding of secretory proteins. When protein import into the ER exceeds the its protein folding capacity, misfolded proteins accumulate and can potentially become toxic to the cell. This situation, termed ER stre... | | 2019 |

Wang, Alison | Mechanistic studies of the electroanalytic reduction of CO2 TO CO: A BPY-MN(CO)3Coome model | Transition-metal electrocatalysts have previously been shown to convert carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, which is promising for future energy schemes. Recent efforts have focused on (N^N)Mn(CO)3X complexes due to their performance and exclusion of expensive metals (X = anionic ligand, N^N = bident... | | 2023 |

Yehle, Tobin | Memoized parsing with derivatives | Due to the computational complexity of parsing, constituent parsing is not preferred for tasks involving large corpora. However, the high similarity between sentences in natural language suggests that it is not necessary to pay the full computational price for each new sentence. In this work we p... | Parsing (Computer grammar) | 2016-04 |

Erturk, Ali Cem | Minimum wage employment effects | In this study, the employment to population ratios and unemployment rates of 16- 19- and 20-24-year-olds are modelled as a function of the minimum wage. The federal minimum remains constant while the state minimum increases in some states from 2010- 2019. Such a research question is useful because s... | | 2023 |
