Subwavelength light confinement and quantum chaos in micro- and nano-structured metamaterials

Creator:: Govyadinov, Alexander A.
Abstract:: This dissertation concerns a broad range of unique phenomena related to the light propagation at nano- and micro-scales. To access the nano-domain, we introduce anisotropy-based waveguides with positive- and negative-index modes. These novel structures allow energy propagation in subwavelength regions and, in contrast to surface waves, have the mode structure...

Fast algorithms and applications for multi-dimensional least-squares-based minimum variance spectral estimation

Creator:: Wei, Lin
Abstract:: The main contributions of this thesis are the development and application of four computationally efficient solutions for least-squares-based (LS-based) minimum variance spectral estimation (MVSE). They are: (1) fast computational solution for the 1-D covariance LS-based MVSE, (2) fast computational solution for the 1-D modified covariance LS-based MVSE, (3) fast computational...

Breaking of spherical symmetry in electronic structure, free and immersed atoms in an electron gas

Creator:: Dorsett, Skye Forrest
Abstract:: Total electronic energies are calculated numerically for free and singly-ionized He, Li, C, and Ne atoms using density functional theory. Immersion energies are calculated for a single C impurity atom embedded or absorbed into a charge-neutral system composed of a free-electron gas with uniform positive background, also called 'jellium'. Nonspherical...

"A dissonant element" : the difficulty of Anais Nin

Creator:: Burghauser, Sarah B.
Abstract:: This thesis is arranged in three main chapters, each of which focuses on a particular type of Anaїs Nin text, and each of which is intended to enlarge Nin's complexities through distinct but overlapping perspectives. The idea connecting these three chapters is that Nin, who has been radically misrepresented by...

Predators associated with hemlock woolly adelgid (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) infested western hemlock in the Pacific Northwest.

Creator:: Kohler, Glenn R.
Abstract:: The hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae, is causing widespread mortality of eastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis, in the eastern United States. In the West, A. tsugae causes negligible damage to western hemlock, Tsuga heterophylla. Host tolerance traits and presence of endemic predators may be contributing to the relative tolerance of western...

Chronobiology of garter snakes : environmental and hormonal mechanisms mediating hibernation and reproduction

Creator:: Lutterschmidt, Deborah I.
Abstract:: Most vertebrates exhibit seasonality in many life history traits. Such seasonal rhythms are temporally organized via the transduction of environmental cues (e.g., photoperiod, temperature) into appropriate endocrine signals. However, among ectothermic vertebrates that undergo continuous winter dormancy, temperature is the only environmental cue available for synchronizing seasonal rhythms. Most intriguing...

Environmental complex mixtures modify benzo[a]pyrene and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene-induced carcinogenesis

Creator:: Courter, Lauren A.
Abstract:: Human exposure to the carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is through environmental complex mixtures, such as urban dust particulate matter (UDPM) and diesel exhaust (DE), however the potency of these PAH within a mixture is not established. To determine the effect of these mixtures on...

Activation, incorporation and modification of capreomycidine during viomycin biosynthesis

Creator:: Fei, Xiaobo
Abstract:: Molecular genetic and enzymological techniques have been employed to study antibiotic biosynthesis. The nonproteinogenic amino acid capreomycidine is the signature residue found in the tuberactinomycin family of antitubercular peptide antibiotics and an important element of the pharmacophore. Recombinant VioG, a single module peptide synthetase from the viomycin gene cluster cloned...

Influence of vine vigor and shading in Pinot noir (Vitis vinifera L.) on the concentration and composition of phenolic compounds in grapes and wine

Creator:: Cortell, Jessica M.
Abstract:: In 2003 and 2004 vigor zones were delineated in two commercial vineyard sites based on vine growth variation to assess fruit and wine phenolic chemistry. In 2004, the effects of shading on the accumulation of phenolic compounds were also investigated. Model extractions were done from the shading experiment and the...

Chlordecone (CD), a mixed steroid X receptor (SXR) and estrogen receptor alpha(ERα) agonist, altered hepatic cholesterol (CH) homeostasis and lipoprotein metabolism

Creator:: Lee, Junga
Abstract:: Overtly non-toxic doses of organochlorine (OC) insecticides perturb lipid homeostasis in mice and rats. To increase understanding of how chlordecone (CD), an OC insecticide, modulates cholesterol (CH) homeostasis, we determined the effect of CD pretreatment on the tissue and hepatic subcellular distribution of exogenous [¹⁴C]CH. Corn oil alone or CD...
