Henry Augustus Rowland and his electromagnetic researches

Creator:: Miller, John D. (John David)
Abstract:: This analysis concerns the life and scientific work of Henry Augustus Rowland (1848-1901), organizer and the first chairman of the physics department at The Johns Hopkins University in 1876. Special materials used in this research included three pieces of Rowland's experimental apparatus which are extant in the Smithsonian Institution Division...

Atropisomeric 8,8'-biquinolyl derivatives : synthesis, properties and applications

Creator:: Milicevic, Selena D.
Abstract:: 7,7'-Dihydroxy-8,8'-biquinolyl (azaBINOL) was prepared from 7-hydroxyquinoline via N,N-dimethyl O-quinol-7-yl carbamate by directed ortho-metallation followed by FeCl₃-mediated oxidative coupling of the 8-lithioquinoline intermediate. Saponification of the resulting dicarbamate provided crystalline (±)-azaBINOL in 56% overall yield. 6,6'-Bis(dimethylaminocarbonyl)-7,7'-dihydroxy-8,8´-biquinolyl was prepared from the same dicarbamate by a double anionic-Fries rearrangement in 43% yield. 7,7'-Bis(diethylamino-carbonyloxy)-6,6'-diiodo-8,8´-biquinolyl...

Synthesis of novel ambifunctional atropisomeric 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls and investigation of their properties and organocatalytic activity

Creator:: Sephton, Mark Alan
Abstract:: Ambifunctional axially chiral 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls containing nucleophilic (or basic) functional groups juxtaposed with hydrogen-bond donors were synthesized and their properties studied. Applications for the prepared biaryls as potential organocatalysts for enantioselective carbon-carbon bond forming reactions were examined. Processes investigated included: aldol, Michael, nitroaldol (Henry), and Baylis-Hillman reactions. The novel amidoamine...

Rationalization and innovative design of asymmetric organocatalysts through computational investigation

Creator:: Johnston, Ryne Connell
Abstract:: My work on computing complex catalyzed organic transformations reveals that only a few subtle chemical factors, e.g. non-classical hydrogen bonding, (hyper)conjugation and steric effects, common across different catalyst manifolds are critical for catalysis and selectivity. Rational manipulation and exploitation of these factors has led to improved catalyst designs, which has...

Second nature : domestication as experiment and metaphor in 20th century American psychobiology

Creator:: Blanchard, Nicholas
Abstract:: By 1900 domestication was a promising, if somewhat vexed, subject in biology. Volumes had been written about domestication, but little serious scientific inquiry was directed toward the phenomenon. Expertise lay with practical men, primarily breeders and fanciers. The bulk of scientific commentary on domestication came from anthropologists who derived theories...

John Fiske's philosophy of science : the union of science and religion through the principle of evolution

Creator:: Lester, Jacob Franklin
Abstract:: Modern science was produced by a Christian society, and although science has had an effect on Christianity, it could not itself remain unaffected. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line was drawn and...

Karl Jordan : a life in systematics

Creator:: Johnson, Kristin Renee
Abstract:: Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the...

Larval systematics of the Troginae in North America, with notes on biologies and life histories (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

Creator:: Baker, Charles William, 1937-
Abstract:: A study of the immature stages of the subfamily Troginae in North America was conducted from the spring of 1963 through the spring of 1965, Larvae of Trox and Omorgus were easily reared in the laboratory, but all attempts to rear the larvae of Glaresis were unsuccessful, The suberosus group,...

William Keith Brooks (1848-1908) : a case study in morphology and the development of American biology

Creator:: Benson, Keith Rodney
Abstract:: The major historical studies that have examined American biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application of...
