  • Directional 60 GHz communication networks

    Creator:
    Yildirim, Ferhat (Ahmet Ferhat)
    Abstract:
    It is well known that multipath effects cause inter-symbol interference (ISI) for high-speed signaling and ultimately limit the achievable data rate at any frequency band. In this thesis, we study several different methods to tackle this issue and provide solutions for establishing efficient wireless links that can provide several Gbps...

  • Crystallographic studies of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis ToxA

    Creator:
    Sarma, Ganapathy N.
    Abstract:
    Tan spot of wheat is an economically significant disease caused by the fungal pathogen, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis. Certain races of the fungus secrete Ptr ToxA (ToxA), a 13.2 kDa proteinaceous host-selective toxin that is responsible and sufficient to cause disease in susceptible wheat varieties. Disease symptoms develop only when the ToxA...

  • Protein adsorption on chitosan-polyanion complexes : application to aqueous food processing wastes

    Creator:
    Savant, Vivek
    Abstract:
    Chitosan has been proposed as a "natural" coagulating agent to solve wastewater problems. The main hindrance in this commercial chitosan application has been its low cost effectiveness. The hypothesis in our research is that chitosan complexes with natural polyanions is more effective than chitosan alone, particularly in recovering low concentration...

  • The detection of superoxide and implications for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

    Creator:
    Robinson, Kristine M.
    Abstract:
    Mutations to superoxide dismutase were the first proven cause of Lou Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS) implicating superoxide in the selective death of motor neurons that characterizes ALS. Nitric oxide competes effectively with superoxide dismutase for superoxide to form the powerful oxidant peroxynitrite. Endogenous formation of peroxynitrite can kill...

  • Wide band gap semiconductors and insulators : synthesis, processing and characterization

    Creator:
    Hersh, Peter A.
    Abstract:
    The work presented here is focused on applying basic principles of solid-state chemistry to the study and development of new wide band-gap semiconductors and insulators for photovoltaic and electronic-device applications. Analysis of crystal structure, band structure, optical band gap, morphology and transport properties provides fundamental insight into materials performance as...

  • In their own words : divorced and widowed women, retirement, and friendships

    Creator:
    Barlow-Pieterick, Marilyn
    Abstract:
    Friends benefit both our psychological and our emotional well-being by increasing overall happiness, life satisfaction, and a positive sense of self among women. Often, however, friendships decrease in the later years. The purpose of this study is to learn more about divorced or widowed, retired women and their friendships, specifically,...

  • Systematic studies of the genus Siphateles (Ostariophysi: Cyprinidae) from western North America

    Creator:
    Harris, Phillip M.
    Abstract:
    The minnow genus Siphateles is distributed throughout the Great Basin and adjacent drainages of western North America. Three species are currently recognized in the genus: S. alvordensis, Alvord chub, S. boraxobius, Borax Lake chub, and S. bicolor, the tui chub. S. bicolor has long been recognized as a widespread species...

  • Accuracy enhancement techniques in low-voltage high-speed pipelined ADC design

    Creator:
    Li, Jipeng
    Abstract:
    Pipelined analog to digital converters (ADCs) are very important building blocks in many electronic systems such as high quality video systems, high performance digital communication systems and high speed data acquisition systems. The rapid development of these applications is driving the design of pipeline ADCs towards higher speed, higher dynamic...

  • Synthesis, characterization, and structural modeling of graphite intercalation compounds with fluoroanions

    Creator:
    Yan, Wei
    Abstract:
    New synthetic strategies have been investigated for nano-dimensioned graphite particles or even isolated graphene sheets. One approach is to prepare graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) with low layer charge density and appropriate gallery height, followed by the colloidal dispersion or exfoliation of the resulting GICs. A series of anions has been...

    Creator:
    Watanalumlerd, Prapoch
    Abstract:
    Effects of gastrointestinal transit on plasma concentrations of drugs from enteric-coated pellet formulations were demonstrated using pharmacokinetic models describing plasma concentrations of drugs from various enteric-coated pellet formulations. Gastric emptying time, lag time of emptying, and drug release rate from pellets in the small intestine, along with other pharmacokinetic parameters...
