Protein and Drug Design Algorithms Using Improved Biophysical Modeling

This thesis focuses on the development of algorithms that will allow protein design calculations to incorporate more realistic modeling assumptions. Protein design algorithms search large sequence spaces for protein sequences that are biologically and medically useful. Better modeling could improve the chance of success in designs and expand the range of problems to which these algorithms are applied. I have developed algorithms to improve modeling of backbone flexibility (DEEPer) and of more extensive continuous flexibility in general (EPIC and LUTE). I’ve also developed algorithms to perform multistate designs, which account for effects like specificity, with provable guarantees of accuracy (COMETS), and to accommodate a wider range of energy functions in design (EPIC and LUTE).

Fronteras en construcción: Diferenciación social y desterritorialización en el Sur ibérico (siglos IX-VI a.C.)

Durante las tres últimas décadas, numerosos/as arqueólogos/as han discutido extensamente sobre el ritual funerario original de las poblaciones del sur ibérico entre los siglos ix y vi a.c., esto es, cremación o inhumación. Este debate está además conectado con la existencia o no de complejidad social antes de la llegada fenicia, con la aparición de una élite “orientalizada” y con la adopción de nuevos objetos y prácticas por las poblaciones locales. En este artículo hago uso del concepto deleuziano de “desterritorialización” y lo asocio con el de “frontera” desarrollado por anzaldúa para interpretar la sociedad del sur ibérico. Para ello, analizo la evidencia funeraria indígena y cuestiono la división estricta entre cremación e inhumación en la región; así como examino la profundidad y significado de los cambios funerarios en las comunidades locales.

El dinero fuente de pecados en el Inferno de Dante y en la traducción de Pedro Fernández de Villegas (Burgos, 1515)

El trabajo se centra en el análisis de los pecados relacionados con el dinero en el Inferno de Dante y en la primera traducción castellana de la primera cantiga de la Commedia, obra del arcediano de Burgos Pedro Fernández de Villegas. La traducción, compuesta en coplas de arte mayor y acompañada de un enciclopédico comentario, se publicó en 1515. Particular atención se dedica a la reflexión sobre el problema del mal uso del dinero que Villegas desarrolla en la glosa de los cantos en que con más vigor se levanta la voz de Dante para denunciar la gravedad del pecado de la sed de riquezas. Se analiza la postura del traductor español ante el tema comparándola no sólo con la de Dante sino también con la de Cristoforo Landino, autor del Comento sopra la Comedia, obra exégetica que se publicó por primera vez en Florencia en 1481 y que representó el punto de referencia privilegiado de Villegas.

A VOICE OF THEIR OWN: MUSIC AND SOCIAL COHESION IN TURKISH ALEVI LIFE

This dissertation examines the role that music has played in the expression of identity and revitalization of culture of the Alevis in Turkey, since the start of their sociocultural revival movement in the late 1980s. Music is central to Alevi claims of ethnic and religious difference—singing and playing the bağlama (Turkish folk lute) constitutes an expressive practice in worship and everyday life. Based on research conducted from 2012 to 2014, I investigate and present Alevi music through the lens of discourses on the construction of identity as a social and musical process. Alevi musicians perform a revived repertoire of the ritual music and folk songs of Anatolian bards and dervish-lodge poets that developed over several centuries. Contemporary media and performance contexts have blurred former distinctions between sacred and secular, yet have provided new avenues to build community in an urban setting. I compare music performances in the worship services of urban and small-town areas, and other community events such as devotional meetings, concerts, clubs, and broadcast and social media to illustrate the ways that participation—both performing and listening—reinforces identity and solidarity. I also examine the influence of these different contexts on performers’ musical choices, and the power of music to evoke a range of responses and emotional feelings in the participants. Through my investigation I argue that the Alevi music repertoire is not only a cultural practice but also a symbol of power and collective action in their struggle for human rights and self-determination. As Alevis have faced a redefined Turkish nationalism that incorporates Sunni Muslim piety, this music has gained even greater potency in their resistance to misrecognition as a folkloric, rather than a living, tradition.

Latinos nos Estados Unidos: Barreiras Culturais, Sociais e Linguísticas Insuperáveis?

Este trabalho examina produções literárias de escritores(as) Latinos(as) nos Estados Unidos mormente no tocante ao profundo sentimento de que há barreiras aparentemente intransponíveis  no cotidianos dos imigrantes de origem latina. Por meio de análises de textos de Julia Alvarez, Pedro Pietri, Pat Mora, Gloria Anzaldúa, Gustavo Pérez-Firmat são abordadas  barreiras culturais, sociais e linguísticas determinantes para a manutenção desse grupo em condições precárias de sobrevivência, vivendo do contínuo apoio do welfare state.  A escrita dessas vozes silenciadas no passado traz à luz a tentativa de rompimento de estereótipos e de preconceitos que não têm mais fundamento em relação à conduta social e ao trabalho desses imigrantes nos Estados Unidos.
