Rigidity of Vertex-Regular Actions on Fuchsian Buildings

Creator:: Smith, Samantha T.
Abstract:: We present a method by which torsion-free groups of automorphisms of a 2-dimensional hyperbolic building which act simply transitively on the vertex set can be constructed, and prove that any such group can be obtained by this construction. The method produces groups defined by finite presentations with strong small cancellation...

Development and Applications of Oxide Thin Films using Atomic Layer Deposition and Prompt Inorganic Condensation

Creator:: Smith, Sean Weston
Abstract:: In the first part of this work, thin films of Al₂O₃ deposited via atomic layer deposition (ALD) are demonstrated to improve the thermal stability of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) aerogels. ALD is a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) like method in which sequential precursor exposures and self-limited surface reactions produce a conformal...

Jointed goatgrass : outcrossing, competition with winter wheat, and response to timing and rate of imazamox

Creator:: Cannon, Joshua B.
Abstract:: Jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica Host.) is a serious weed problem in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in the United States. Studies were conducted to determine the outcrossing rate, competitive ability, and effectiveness of certain control practices on jointed goatgrass. A field study was conducted over two years at four locations...

Bioherbicide use of plant defensive compounds in meadowfoam seed meal

Creator:: Intanon, Suphannika
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Hartw. ex Benth) seed meal (MSM), a by-product of meadowfoam oil extraction, has a plant defensive compound known as glucosinolate glucolimnanthin (GLN). Myrosinase enzymes present in soil microbes and meadowfoam seeds can convert GLN to glucosinolate breakdown products (GBPs), which demonstrate herbicidal activity and have the potential...

Range-use estimation and encounter probability for juvenile Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in the Prince William Sound-Kenai Fjords region of Alaska

Creator:: Meck, Stephen R.
Abstract:: Range, areas of concentrated activity, and dispersal characteristics for juvenile Steller sea lions Eumetopias jubatus in the endangered western population (west of 144° W in the Gulf of Alaska) are poorly understood. This study quantified space use by analyzing post-release telemetric tracking data from satellite transmitters externally attached to n...

Adaptation of vertical ground reaction force due to changes in breast support in running

Creator:: Shivitz, Nicole L.
Abstract:: Introduction: Sports bras offer different levels of breast support and allow for a wide range of vertical breast motion. Excessive breast motion during exercise causes discomfort and may discourage participation in regular exercise. Inadequate breast support may lead to adaptations in a woman's running mechanics. Purpose: This study aimed to...
