Hammerhead ribozymes as a candidate gene-based therapy for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa due to rhodopsin mutations
(2012)Post-transcriptional gene silencing ( PTGS ) holds vast potential as a method of treatment for autosomal dominant diseases. Significant bottlenecks exist in the development of gene therapeutics, including the identification ... -
Hand Perception in Late Twentieth Century Women's Experimental Poetics
(2011)"Hand Perception in Late Twentieth Century Women's Experimental Poetics" examines the aesthetics, ethics, and politics of what I call "hand perception" in late twentieth century women's experimental art, specifically in ... -
Handwashing with soap to improve child health: Observational and experimental studies to estimate behavior and health effects of handwashing with soap in low-resource settings
(2014)Pneumonia and diarrhea are the two leading causes of death among children <5 years old, and handwashing with soap can prevent these infections. This dissertation will provide insight into measurement of handwashing, ... -
Handwriting Verification Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
(2017)With the growing popularity Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs) in computer vision tasks and the ability of them to model intricate patterns in data, we took to extending the study of verifying handwriting using CNNs. ... -
Hanging systems and the re-use of forsaken architecture
(2007)This thesis explores a method of structural design whereby major elements are implemented to hang from above. The benefit of this structure is an open plan unrestricted by the space normally allocated to support or load ... -
Hankel operators on the Segal-Bargmann space and symmetrically-normed ideals
(2007)Consider the Hankel operators on the Segal-Bargmann space. Given any symbol function, we can consider the Hankel operator associated with it as well as the Hankel operator associated with the symbol function's complex ... -
