Ultramafic Alteration and the Cooling of Earth and Mars by Murray, Joshua

“…Due to their instability, they play an out-sized role in Earth's long-term carbon cycle. My first chapter investigates a hitherto unappreciated mechanism by which ultramafic rocks serve as a carbon sink, through the formation of high-surface-area clays and the resultant burial of organic carbon. …”

Mapping the Cellular Landscape of the Brain: A Scalable Approach to Comprehensive Microscopy Data Analysis by Kim, Minyoung E.

“…To address the challenge, we developed an end-to-end scalable framework that seamlessly strings each step of the analysis pipeline together, enabling comprehensive fluorescence microscopy data analysis. The framework, termed MorPheT (Morphology Phenotyping Tool), serves as an all-in-one solution, offering a suite of analysis modules spanning from image pre-processing to precise cell detection, atlas alignment, morphological phenotyping, and interactive visualizations. …”

Autonomy Work: Personhood, Expertise, and Activism of Disabled AI Data Workers in China by Wu, Di

“…In ENABLE’s case, what appears to be a familiar story of capitalist exploitation of disabled people turns out to be, instead, a story about the struggles of disabled Chinese people over different ways of being, living, and relating. I use the term “autonomy work” to describe disabled people’s labor to make “autonomous” machines (zidonghua) (Chapter 1), build an “autonomous” life (zizhu shenghuo) through work (Chapters 2 & 3), and design tools for “independent” navigation (duli chuxing) (Chapter 4). …”

Regulation of microRNA degradation in Caenorhabditis elegans via the E3 ubiquitin ligase EBAX-1 by Stubna, Michael William

“…Some rapidly degraded miRNAs owe their instability to a mechanism termed target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD), whereby unusual miRNA binding sites with extensive complementarity to the miRNA promote a conformational shift in AGO, leading to the recruitment of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex containing the substrate receptor ZSWIM8. …”
