Gene Expression, Structure Elucidation, and Bioactivity of Aspergillus Natural Products

Creator:: Neuhaus, George F.
Abstract:: The study of natural products (NPs) and their application has shaped humanity. Starting with the idea of using plants as medicine, it has now grown into the science of purifying and identifying organic molecules from nature to study their inherent biological activities. Understanding the molecular structures of NPs is the...

Application and Validation of Geant4 Modeling for Optimization of Complex Structures for Fast Neutron Detection

Creator:: Capps, Jacob W.
Abstract:: Fast neutron detection is important to the detection of illicit nuclear materials and can help prevent those materials from being used or transported without discovery. Previous research has shown that Heavy Oxide Inorganic Scintillator crystals can be used to detect fast neutrons by capitalizing on their high inelastic scattering cross...

Electronic and Optical Properties of Defects in Amorphous Oxide and Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Semiconductors

Creator:: Vogt, Kyle
Abstract:: The optical and electronic properties of amorphous oxide thin films depend crucially on chemical composition, and deposition process variations which give rise to sub-gap defect states. Consequently, there is a need for a reliable, high-throughput method to extract sub-gap defect densities of states in amorphous oxide thin films. We present...

Unique Structural Properties and Motifs of Metal-Oxides from Solids to Clusters

Creator:: Malmberg, Christopher E.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, the structural properties, thermodynamics and defect behavior of amorphous metal oxides and polyoxometalates are studied. Amorphous metal oxides have many applications, most notably as a semiconducting material used as the active matrix of thin film transistors. Alas, the amorphous nature of these materials makes studying them rather...

Evaluation of Stress Corrosion Cracking of 316L Stainless Steel in FLiNaK Using the Slow Strain Rate Technique

Creator:: Quintana, Xavier A.
Abstract:: Molten salts have been targeted as a promising coolant for next generation reactors due to their high boiling point, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity. Despite these benefits, molten salt systems present unique materials compatibility issues, highlighted by the aggressive corrosion attack and dealloying typically seen on materials in these environments....

Freezing of a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson Fluid using Classical Density Functional Theory

Creator:: Finster, Kirstie L.
Abstract:: We use Classical Density Functional Theory (cDFT) to predict the freezing of a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson (WCA) fluid, and construct pressure-temperature and temperature-density phase diagrams. A WCA fluid consists of soft spheres that exhibit the repulsive portion of the Lennard-Jones potential widely used to model the interaction of two neutral atoms. Our...

Evaluating the response of bees to visual attractants in resource-poor environments

Creator:: Parvin, Lucas
Abstract:: Bee populations are declining around the globe, while the need for their pollination services is increasing with growing food demands by an expanding population. There is a need for innovative practices to increase pollination in agricultural environments without harming wild bee populations. However, the use of artificial visual attractants has...

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Environmental Air-Water Matrices and Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPL)

Creator:: Schwichtenberg, Trever J.
Abstract:: The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), organic contaminants first synthesized in the 1940s, has been reported worldwide in a variety of environmental matrices and ultimately in biological systems including humans. Ongoing research into PFAS has included identifying novel PFAS, assessing their fate and transport in the environment, and...

Conformational Consequences: Calcium Regulates the Association Between Dysferlin C2A & PI(4,5)P2

Creator:: Otto, Shauna C.
Abstract:: Dysferlin is a ∼230 kDa terminally anchored membrane protein that is ubiquitously expressed, but is particularly enriched in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue. Mutations covering the length of the protein have been linked to muscle wasting diseases including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and Myoshi myopathy. Dysferlin has been shown to play...

Classical Density Functional for the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen Soft-Sphere Repulsive Potential using Soft Fundamental Measure Theory

Creator:: Finster, Kirstie L.
Abstract:: We present a classical density functional to model the soft, repulsive potential of a Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) fluid using Soft Fundamental Measure Theory (SFMT) with temperature-dependent parameters inspired by the Barker-Henderson method. Our functional uses soft spheres to model the soft-sphere WCA potential, and gives results that are in good agreement...

Bioelectronic Systems for Neurosensing Enabled by Graphene

Creator:: Fengel, Carly V.
Abstract:: Taking long-term electrical measurements of a large number of neurons simultaneously is required for many modern neuroscience experiments. However, such experiments are currently limited by the shortcomings of traditional neurosensing technology. For example, there is a significant mechanical mismatch between rigid silicon probes and soft biological tissues. This mismatch can...
