  • 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...

  • Cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane : a novel C₂-symmetric scaffold for asymmetric catalysis

    Creator:
    Shaw, Subrata
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the development of a new enantioselective synthetic method employing chiral cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-based organometallic catalysts. The significance of this new method to organic synthesis is illustrated with preparation of enantioenriched products that are transformed to important pharmaceutical agents. Chapter 1 provides a brief historical overview of asymmetric catalysis, especially...

  • Total Synthesis of Isotopologues of Xanthohumol and its Congeners for Biological Studies

    Creator:
    Plagmann, Layhna S.
    Abstract:
    Xanthohumol [XN, (E)-6´-methoxy-3´-(3-methylbuten-2-yl)-2´,4´,4´´-trihydroxychalcone], the principal prenylated chalcone from hops, and its 2,3-dihydro- (DXN) and O6-desmethyl-2,3-dihydro- (DDXN) congeners, are of potential utility for the amelioration of metabolic syndrome; however, their complex bioactivity profiles cannot be properly studied and understood without access to appropriately produced synthetic materials. In the first part of...

  • Expediting the Generation and Analysis of Amorphous Oxide Computational Models: Modeling Complex Systems Swiftly

    Creator:
    Buchanan, Jacob C.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, the process of computational modeling of amorphous oxide materials is studied. Amorphous oxides have random atomic arrangements with no long-range structural order which makes it difficult to study structure-property relationships. Despite the difficulties, amorphous oxides have great uses as semiconductors and dielectrics in thin-film transistors. The ability...

  • 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...

  • CoLocalized Excitation Emission Resolution : A CLEER approach for multicolor fluorescence analysis

    Creator:
    Almlie, C. Kyle
    Abstract:
    Fluorescence has proven to be a robust and powerful method of analysis in numerous fields: forensics, pharmaceutics, geology, food science, and environmental sciences have all developed a large collection of fluorescence instruments and methods to overcome application-specific challenges. Biological applications saw the same development of a fluorescence toolkit with methods...

  • Growth and characterization of the p-type semiconductors SnS and BiCuOSe

    Creator:
    Francis, Jason
    Abstract:
    BiCuOSe and SnS are layered, moderate band gap (ε[subscript G] ≈ 1 eV) semiconductors that exhibit intrinsic p type conductivity. Doping of BiCuOSe with Ca results in a slight expansion of the lattice and an increase of the hole concentration from 10¹⁸ cm⁻³ to greater than 10²⁰ cm⁻³. The large...

  • Evaluation of amorphous oxide semiconductors for thin film transistors (TFTs) and resistive random access memory (RRAM) applications

    Creator:
    Rajachidambaram, Jaana Saranya
    Abstract:
    Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are primarily used as a switching element in liquid crystal displays. Currently, amorphous silicon is the dominant TFT technology for displays, but higher performance TFTs will become necessary to enable ultra-definition resolution high-frequency large-area displays. Amorphous zinc tin oxide (ZTO) TFTs were fabricated by RF magnetron sputter...

  • Thermally-stable amorphous metal thin films

    Creator:
    McGlone, John M.
    Abstract:
    Amorphous metal thin films (AMTFs) are of potential use for metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel diode applications due to their ultra-smooth surfaces, a consequence of their amorphous microstructure. The objective of this thesis is to design a thermally-stable AMTF capable of maintaining MIM tunnel diode performance after a post-deposition anneal in excess...

  • Study of creeping, inertial and turbulent flow regimes in porous media using particle image velocimetry

    Creator:
    Patil, Vishal A.
    Abstract:
    Porous media flows are encountered in many natural and man-made systems such as gas adsorption, filtration, heat exchangers, combustion, catalytic reactors and groundwater hydrology. This study experimentally investigates these flows as function of pore Reynolds number, Re[subscript pore]. The pore Reynolds number is based on the porous bed hydraulic diameter,...
