  • Using Data Loss and Duplication Maps to study data use associated with nearest-neighbor resampling

    Creator:
    Perigny, Mathew
    Abstract:
    Nearest-neighbor resampling is a common procedure used by cartographers to reproject raster data sets. This type of resampling is useful because it retains the data from the original raster data set. However, during nearest-neighbor resampling some of the original data will be lost as it is reprojected, while other data...

  • Advanced studies on cyclic amino acids in neurological signaling and peptide antibiotics

    Creator:
    Blanchard, David, L.
    Abstract:
    L-pipecolic acid (L-PA) is the higher homolog of proline. It occurs naturally in many organisms, including primates, as an intermediate in lysine degradation. The pathway by which lysine is converted into L-pipecolic acid employs the enzyme Lpipecolate oxidase (L-PO), and appears to be tissue specific to the central nervous system...

  • The cohomology rings of seven dimensional primitive cohomogeneity one manifolds

    Creator:
    Ultman, Shari K.
    Abstract:
    A striking feature in the study of Riemannian manifolds of positive sectional curvature is the narrowness of the collection of known examples. In this thesis, we examine the structure of the cohomology rings of three families of compact simply connected seven dimensional Riemannian manifolds that may contain new examples of...

  • Broadening the scope of the modified-Julia reaction : a mild and stereoselective method for the synthesis of (Z)-configurated α,β-unsaturated lactones

    Creator:
    Giesbrecht, Heath Eugene
    Abstract:
    An intramolecular variant of the modified-Julia olefination was demonstrated by the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated lactones in a mild and (Z)-selective fashion. The lynchpin reagent (benzothiazol-2-sulfonyl) acetic acid was synthesized in a straightforward fashion in 86% overall yield from commercially available 2-mercaptobenzothiazole via conversion to ethyl (benzothiazol-2-ylthio)acetate by base mediated alkylation...

  • Crystallin proteolysis in lens during aging and cataract formation

    Creator:
    Ueda, Yoji
    Abstract:
    The major purpose of this research was to characterize partially degraded proteins appearing in the ocular lens during aging and cataract, and to identify the responsible proteolytic activities. This research is significant, because increased protein degradation is associated with lens opacification and cataract. Determining the sites where lens proteins become...

  • Heavy fermion effective mass in the superconducting vortex state

    Creator:
    Townsend, Emily A.
    Abstract:
    The extended-Lifshitz-Kosevitch formalism (ELK) unifies the treatment of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect, allowing it to transcend its traditional roles of mapping Fermi surfaces and measuring effective masses. Here we exploit the capabilities of dHvA as a probe of many-body effects to examine heavy-fermion su- perconductivity. ELK successfully describes...

  • Synthesis and study of oxides and chalcogenides : thin films and crystals

    Creator:
    Park, Sangmoon
    Abstract:
    Several types of solid-state inorganic materials are prepared and characterized. By using the SILAR (Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction) deposition method in conjunction with hydrothermal dehydration both low-temperature deposition and crystallization of oxide thin films are achieved. Various aspects of new transparent p-type materials are studied by examining both...

  • Total synthesis of sparteine alkaloids from a common tetraoxobispidine intermediate

    Creator:
    Melbardis, John
    Abstract:
    In previous work (Blakemore et al. Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 4721; Heterocycles 2006, 70, 609), successful elaborations of the lupine alkaloids (±)-α-isosparteine (dl-2) and (±)-β-isosparteine (dl-3) were realized from a common tetraoxobispidine precursor, 3,7-diallyl -2,4,6,8-tetraoxo-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (93). Herein, the tetraoxobispidine approach to lupine alkaloids was extended to a total synthesis of...

    Creator:
    Boucher, Tina V.
    Abstract:
    The Chugach National Forest has been using prescribed fire as a wildlife habitat management tool since l977. Between 1977 and 1997 about 4,000 hectares have been burned on the Kenai Peninsula to promote regeneration of woody plant species used by moose (Alces alces). Browse species include paper birch (Betula papyrifera),...

  • Making the connection to K-12 education for noncollege-bound students : the voices of students and workers address school experiences and workforce preparation

    Creator:
    Campbell, Willa M.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the relationships between business, education, and the economy, and specifically addressed the significant impact that business has had on education and educational policy. A large amount of research exists on the history of school reform and the development of educational policy, but none of the research examined...
