  • Evaluation of Bacterial F1FO-ATPase Inhibitors for Synergistic Effects

    Creator:
    Heppe, Kenan G.
    Abstract:
    F1FO-ATP synthase targeting antimicrobials apoptolidin 1 (A1), (+)-erythromefloquine, and oligomycin were tested in vitro for synergistic minimum inhibitory concentrations against Staphylococcus aureus. Synergy was strictly defined as inhibition by at most 25% the MIC of each participating drug. Ampicillin, with an MIC of 0.8 ug/mL, served as a negative control....

  • Writing down what no echo can ever repeat

    Creator:
    O’Donnell, Nicolette
    Abstract:
    This thesis consists of an autoethnography of a sexual assault survivor written using poems, journal entries, annotations, photographs and song lyrics. The ethnography is a chronological record of feelings the author experienced during the day prior to the attack and emotions she navigated during the year and a half after...

  • Application of a weighted Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) for Structure Comparison in Radiation Treatment Planning

    Creator:
    Fried, Zachary
    Abstract:
    Coded metrics that compare representations of structures within the human body to evaluate their similarity are considered useful for planning radiation therapy on cancer targets. However, existing metrics fail to take into account the dose of radiation that will be received by both the target, and surrounding non-target tissue, during...

  • Synthesis and Solution Behavior of Tetravalent Metal Clusters with Ammonium Counterions

    Creator:
    Brown, Jessica C.
    Abstract:
    Global interest in reducing carbon emissions by use of alternative energy sources makes nuclear energy production and the impacts of the nuclear energy cycle relevant. Studying the aqueous speciation of tetravalent metals commonly used for nuclear energy (uranium, thorium, plutonium) can inform us of general metal properties and their behavior...

  • Quantification of Lithium via Redox Titration and pH Titration – A Method Comparison

    Creator:
    Hebert, Joseph J.
    Abstract:
    Lithium serves an unparalleled role for high energy-density storage applications and is vital for the continued advancement of the world economy. However, global supply is heavily reliant on lithium deposits situated in select locations, creating unpredictability in the price and concerns for the sustained production of the resource. Additionally, future...

  • Derivation of Halide Bond Lengths through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Gonzales, Seth
    Abstract:
    The physical properties of hydrochloric acid and deuterium chloride were derived through the use of the harmonic oscillator and rigid rotor quantum mechanical models. By first obtaining angular momentum quantum values for HCl and DCl through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, these two systems could be summed and processed with additional...

  • Isolation and Identification of Indole Metabolites from Pseudomonas fluorescens NZI7

    Creator:
    Vergis, John M.
    Abstract:
    Pseudomonas fluorescens NZI7 was first isolated from a New Zealand mushroom farm in 2001. This Gram-negative bacteria can cause brown blotch disease in the basidiomycete mushroom Agaricus bisporus. P. fluorescens NZI7 can also repel grazing by the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a natural predator of P. fluorescens NZI7. Potentially implicated in...

  • Aging and oxidative damage to mitochondrial membrane proteins

    Creator:
    Tong, Tony T.
    Abstract:
    Mitochondria provide energy for biological cells to function, but this process is also a source of oxygen radicals that are capable of damaging nearby proteins. Mitochondrial protein damage can eventually lead to cell death, especially in the case of heart cells, where mitochondria are present in the highest concentrations. As...

  • Synthesis and SERS : Reproducible Nanostar Plasmons and a Study of Optical Enhancement

    Creator:
    Ramsey, Jacob D.
    Abstract:
    Gold nanostars are a relative newcomer to the nanoparticle scene, and their unique properties make them very desirable for spectroscopic applications. These nanoparticles, with their sharp tips, create electric field enhancements that interact with light in an advantageous way. This Thesis outlines our in-depth study of gold nanostar synthesis, the...
