R-loops’ effect on chromosome stability and temporal regulation of DNA double-strand break processing in the C. elegans germline

Hicks, Tara Lynn

DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) represent one of the most genotoxic and deleterious types of DNA damage. Their efficient and timely repair is essential and improperly repaired or unrepaired DSBs can directly lead to major genome catastrophe by way of chromosome rearrangements and cell death. Germ cell chromosomes endur...

OSCILLATION DETECTION AND ANALYSIS IN POWER SYSTEMS WITH SCADA USING INFERENTIAL STATISTICS

Shiuab, Salman Siddique

The analysis of oscillations is of vital importance for stable, secure, and reliable power system operations. Recently, many algorithms have been proposed to identify potential forced oscillation sources using synchrophasors. However, the synchrophasor coverage is limited in several systems, and the oscillation source...
