Structural Similarities and Differences in Tropone and Tropolone: Gas-Phase Electron Diffraction Study

Creator:: Titus, Eric J.
Abstract:: The method of gas-phase electron diffraction is a very useful tool for determining the geometry of a molecule in the gas-phase to a high degree of accuracy. In this thesis, the structures of tropone and tropolone, which are similar molecules that are both based on a 7-carbon ring, were investigated...

The Islamic Prohibition on Interest : Muslim Americans’ Financial Understandings, Attitudes, and Behavior

Creator:: Moussaoui, Ibrahim
Abstract:: In Islam, paying and receiving interest is prohibited based on the belief that money should not be a commodity that is “rented” out; instead, Islamic lending structures arrange loans on an equity basis. This work examines the historical origins of interest prohibition and explains how different Islamic financial products provide...

The Search for Mitochondrial Ribonucleotide Reductase

Creator:: Bai, Daniel Helin
Abstract:: One of the distinctive features of mitochondria is that they have their own DNA. When compared to nuclear DNA, it is known that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) not only has a much higher rate of spontaneous mutation, but also arises from metabolically distinct precursor pools. Others from our laboratory have demonstrated...

Improving the accuracy and efficiency of bird song analysis with machine learning based event detection

Creator:: Mathew, Anju
Abstract:: Ornithology is an exciting field with novel research emerging everyday. Researchers in bioacoustics often spend hours within the wilderness recording bird calls to analyze later in their lab. The burden of sifting through hours of audio recordings from the field continues to remain a time-consuming and manual task, despite the...

The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Mergers and Acquisitions

Creator:: Morgan, Scott M.
Abstract:: This study examines the effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on merger and acquisitions (M&A). Using data from Kinder, Lyndeberg, and Domini (KLD) Research Analytics and Thomson’s Securities Data Corporation’s (SDC) Platinum Database, we empirically test if CSR scores effect a firm’s propensity to pursue M&A activity. Specifically, I examine...

Decoding EEG Signals to Detect and Classify Hand Movement

Creator:: McGrath, Patrick
Abstract:: Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have recently gained attention to classify associated hand movement. This is particularly useful for amputees with prostatic hands or people who are unable to move their hands voluntarily. Among the decoding algorithms used to classify hand movements are support vector machines and multilayer perceptron networks. In this...

Design and Evaluation of a Vibrotactile Sensory Feedback System for Prostheses

Creator:: Thurston, Tegan J.
Abstract:: Loss of a limb can severely impact everyday way of life. Prosthetics provide a way to return functionality to the user and improve quality of life. However, most prosthetic systems currently available in the market lack sensory feedback making them comparatively more difficult to use resulting in prosthetic abandonment. Therefore,...

The Bold and the Beautiful

Creator:: Kinser, Riley W.
Abstract:: This study looks at whether two physical characteristics, physical attractiveness and perceived competence, have an impact on student analysts finding large discrepancies between current price and target price. Equity reports published online by undergraduate and MBA students involved in student investment clubs and portfolio management classes are combined with pictures...

Investigation of autophagy-assisted cell death in response to the cancer cell toxin coibamide A

Creator:: Tan, Michelle
Abstract:: Autophagy, a homeostatic degradation pathway, has a role in promoting cell survival under stress conditions, but can also promote cell death under conditions of sustained stress. This project investigates the cytotoxic potential of coibamide A and other natural products in autophagy-deficient and wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Wild-type MEFs were...
