The treatment of certain types of cancers brings with it serious physiological and
psychological side effects in cancer survivors, including: decreased aerobic capacity,
muscle wasting, body composition changes, fatigue, and a diminished overall quality of
life. Exercise may directly influence the physiological side effects of cancer and cancer
treatment, and...
The two sulfur isotopomers of sulfur trioxide, ³²S¹⁶O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁶O₃, have been studied via high resolution infrared and Coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS) spectroscopy. The v₁ symmetric SO stretching Q-branches observed by the latter are quite different, being especially complex for ³²S¹⁶O₃ Understanding this band structure required analysis of infrared-active hot...
Malaria is the world’s most important parasitic infectious disease, and is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in many developing countries. In this dissertation I study the interaction of malaria and economic development at both the macro- and micro-economic levels.
In the first essay I examine the economic impact...

Malaria is the world’s most important parasitic infectious disease, and
To begin the development of a research tool for use in the in
vivo study of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) metabolism, I attempted
to locate, isolate, clone and elicit the expression of the SAM
hydrolase gene (E.C. 3.3.1.2) of the coliphage T3.
The gene was isolated and cloned into the M13mp8 cloning...
The relative role of cospeciation and host switching in the phylogenetic history of
ascomycete foliar symbionts is addressed in the orders Leotiales and Rhytismatales, fungi
associated predominantly with Pinaceae (Coniferales). Emphasis is placed on comparing
the evolution of the sister genera Pseudotsuga and Larix (Pinaceae) with that of the
pathogenic...
Angular correlations of gamma rays from excited states of ¹⁶⁶Er have been
measured following the β decays of ¹⁶⁶ Ho (Jπ =7-, t 1/2 =1200y, Q= 1854 ke V) and ¹⁶⁶Tm (Jπ = 2+, t 1/2, = 7.7h, Q=3040 keV).
Data was collected using the 8π
spectrometer, an array of...
