A Bayesian Treatise on the Replication Crisis in Science

Creator:: Gibson, True E.
Abstract:: Over the past decade, it has come to light that many published scientific findings cannot be reproduced. This has led to the replication crisis in science. Many researchers feel that they can no longer trust much of what they read in scientific journals, and the public is becoming ever more...

Theoretical study of beryllium borohydride Be(BH₄)₂

Creator:: Alghamdi, Maha D.
Abstract:: Ab initio calculations using the B3LYP and CCSD(T) methods were employed in this work to explore the most stable structure of the intriguing compound Be(BH₄)₂, for which as many as seven different structures have been proposed in the literature. Use of the B3LYP density functional method with several large basis...

Optimizing the Membrane Architecture and Interrogating the Stability of Hybrid Lipid-coated Gold Nanoparticles for Biological Studies and Applications

Creator:: Kmetz-Gonzalez, Gemma
Abstract:: Nanoparticles are a hugely diverse category of material that have a wide variety of biomedical applications, and developing tools for biological research with high cellular uptake is critical to their effective application. However, rarely is attention paid to the exact mechanism by which this is occurring, with most studies focusing...

Second Derivative Excitation Emission Resolution (SEC DEER) Spectroscopy

Creator:: Rosene, Benjamin L.
Abstract:: Fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique due to bright signals that provide excellent measurement sensitivity. Many colors of fluorescent dyes are available to match the detection ranges of different equipments. Dyes can be chemically modified to bind to many different target analytes with high specificity1. Alternatively, sensors can be...

Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Allenes by Eliminative Cross-Coupling of Carbenoids

Creator:: Cao, Yang
Abstract:: The bimolecular reaction of two carbenoid species resulting in the formation of a carbon-carbon double bond (pi-system), referred to herein as carbenoid eliminative cross-coupling (CEXC), involves a series of three fundamental steps: (i) ate-complex formation (transmetalation), (ii) 1,2-metalate rearrangement, and (iii) beta-elimination. All three steps are stereospecific and so the...

Model programming of a direct contact condenser in solvent free microwave extraction of peppermint oil

Creator:: Du, Yihao
Abstract:: Solvent free microwave extraction (SFME) has been demonstrated to be feasible in extraction of essential oils from botanical materials. The benefits are no need for any solvent aside from the water naturally in the botanical material and a significant reduction in environmental impact for large scale production processes. However, the...

Precise lateral dose profile measurements of surface interfaces of hip prostheses

Creator:: Arnold, Alison
Abstract:: With the growing incidence of total hip replacements performed each year in the United States, the incidence of patients with prosthesis requiring radiotherapy is bound to increase. It is necessary to understand and quantify the effects of the high atomic number material prostheses used in total hip replacements on therapeutic...

Atomic layer deposition of nanolaminate Al₂O₃-Ta₂O₅ and ZnO-SnO₂ films

Creator:: Smith, Sean Weston
Abstract:: Thin films are an enabling technology for a wide range of applications, from microprocessors to diffusion barriers. Nanolaminate thin films combine two (or more) materials in a layered structure to achieve performance that neither film could provide on its own. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a chemical vapor deposition technique...

Coulomb Explosion in Moderately Intense Nanosecond Laser Fields

Creator:: Yao, Yuzhong
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I present experimental observations of multiply charged atomic ions (MCAI) generated from interactions of atomic/molecular clusters with moderately intense nanosecond laser pulses. This process is also known as Coulomb explosion (CE) and it has been extensively studied in intense laser fields using ultrashort pulses. Several prevailing theories...

Electron Diffraction of Neutral and Cationic Clusters Doped into Superfluid Helium Droplets

Creator:: Lei, Lei
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I describe the experimental investigation of electron diffraction of neutral and ionic clusters doped into superfluid helium droplets. The project is aimed at contributing to the development of an overall approach called ‘serial single molecule electron diffraction imaging (ss-EDI), a potential approach to solve macromolecule structures bypassing...
