  • High Resolution Spectroscopy of Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane

    Creator:
    Martin, Matthew A.
    Abstract:
    The strained carbon ring, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, was synthesized by a reaction between 1-(phenylsulfanyl)bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, prepared from propellane, and Raney nickel. Infrared spectra were recorded at a resolution of 0.0015 cm-1, a resolution significantly better than previous measurements, 0.06 cm-1. A single fundamental band was analyzed to determine the ground state and excited...

  • Functionalization of Surfaces with Nisin in a Polyethylene Oxide Brush Layer

    Creator:
    Ryder, Matthew P.
    Abstract:
    Infections in hospitals account for over 100,000 deaths per year. These infections occur at the hospital from complications following bacterial adhesion to intravenous catheters, coronary stents and other implanted devices. Another common problem is protein adsorption to the surface of the device and subsequent blood clotting. Methods for combating these...

  • A fabrication study of surface acoustic wave devices for magnetic field detection

    Creator:
    Chin, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    Surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors are versatile devices that can be configured to sense a variety of measurands such as temperature and pressure. The potential use of surface acoustic wave devices for magnetic field detection is explored in this study. Compared to current magnetic field sensors, a sensor based on...

  • Microbial Abundance and Community Analysis in Devil’s Hole, Harrington Sound, Bermuda

    Creator:
    Denman, Carmen C.
    Abstract:
    Microbial activity within elevated CO2 and oxygen depleted environments changes with density driven stratification overturn in the seasonally anoxic region of Devil’s Hole, Bermuda. The temperature gradient developed during the summer months creates a natural laboratory to study bacterial and virus population density and microbial community dynamics in the anoxic...
