  • The experience of three female mental health clinicians coping with work related stress in treating traumatized children

    Creator:
    Pegel, Rochelle
    Abstract:
    This study was inspired by the desire to understand the experience of mental health clinicians coping with work related stress in treating traumatized children. In studying this experience, heuristic design and methodology was followed. The findings of this study are based on interviews of 3 Caucasian, female clinicians, a 49-year-old...

  • Studies toward the total synthesis of azaspiracid-1

    Creator:
    Kuiper, Damien L.
    Abstract:
    Azaspiracid has generated an enormous amount of scientific interest in the fourteen years since its initial discovery. The structure contains a 6,5,6 bis-spiroketal, a [3.3.1] bicyclic ketal and a 6,5-spiroaminal linkage as key moieties. With 9 rings, 20 stereocenters and three alkenes, the azaspiracid immediately attracted the interest of the...

  • Development of new high-temperature piezoelectric perovskite ceramics

    Creator:
    Ansell, Troy Youngmin
    Abstract:
    Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is the dominant ferroelectric material in the market due to its excellent piezoelectric properties, relatively high Curie transition temperature (T[subscript C]), low cost, etc. However, because of emerging applications with requirements for high temperature (T[subscript C] > 400 °C) ferroelectrics, researchers are increasingly looking at alternative...

  • Ultimate and serviceability limit state reliability-based axial capacity of deep foundations

    Creator:
    Reddy, Seth C.
    Abstract:
    Deep foundations are necessary for the construction of many structures, such as bridges and buildings, located in areas unsuitable for shallow foundations. Owing to the inherent variability of soil and the complex changes that occur in the soil adjacent to deep foundations as they are installed, the ability to accurately...

  • The Fitness Costs and Regulatory Strategies of Cooperative Siderophore Production in Pseudomonas

    Creator:
    Sexton, David
    Abstract:
    Cooperative behaviors in bacteria are increasingly appreciated for their relevance to microbial ecology and utility as model systems for social evolution. One example is the secretion of siderophores, a structurally diverse group of compounds that chelate extracellular iron. Siderophore production is considered cooperative because the benefits can be shared with...

  • Part I: Synthetic Studies Toward Mandelalide A and Madeirolide A; Part II: Synthesis of Mandelalide/Madeirolide Hybrid Structures

    Creator:
    Li, Jinming
    Abstract:
    Mandelalide A has attracted considerable interest from the synthetic community due to its intriguing structure and important cytotoxic activity. Madeirolide A, a structurally related macrolide, shows promising antifungal activity but no appreciable anticancer activity. This dissertation describes synthetic studies toward mandelalide A, madeirolide A and their hybrid structures. Part I...

  • Reproductive biology and behavior of the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) on Guam.

    Creator:
    Waye, Heather L.
    Abstract:
    While there are many more species of reptiles in the tropics than in temperate latitudes, relatively little is known about the natural history of tropical species of snakes. Even basic information, such as reproductive ecology and behavior, is lacking. Patterns of reproduction in tropical species differ from patterns in temperate...

  • Advances in Freshwater Cyanobacterial Genomics

    Creator:
    Brown, Nathaniel M.
    Abstract:
    Limnology is undergoing a transition to high-throughput -omic analysis of freshwater bacterial communities. An important first step in making the transition is to characterize several genomes that can be used as references to guide metagenome assembly and analysis. Here I characterize four new freshwater cyanobacterial genomes, a pair of lake...

  • The development of aminal radicals for the synthesis of nitrogen-rich natural products

    Creator:
    Schiedler, David A.
    Abstract:
    Organic compounds which contain one or more nitrogen atoms are especially important as they are disproportionately represented among biologically active molecules. As a result, significant effort has been focused on the development of methods for the synthesis of nitrogenous molecules. We identified the aminal as an under-explored functional group. Despite...

  • Geomicrobiology of marine sediment containing methane

    Creator:
    Briggs, Brandon R.
    Abstract:
    Marine sediments contain an abundance of methane that is biologically produced and plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. Microbes responsible for the carbon cycle in marine sediments, and the processes that they carry out, need to be characterized in order to fully understand the role of this...
