  • "Sorrow's springs are the same" : synoeciosis in the poetry of Alfred Tennyson and Gerard Manley Hopkins

    Creator:
    Adamson, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Tennyson and Hopkins scholarship is dominated by a focus on antithetical dichotomies. Tennyson's speakers are fractured selves focused on the gap between matter and spirit, faith and reason, solitude and community. Likewise, Hopkins' doubled vocation as priest and poet is presented as a contradiction to the point that the transition...

  • Reassessment of Grading Criteria with Respect to the Flexural Properties of Douglas-fir Crossarms

    Creator:
    Anderson, Christopher H.
    Abstract:
    Wood plays a key role in modern electrical infrastructure; crossarms and power poles utilize the high strength to weight ratio, availability and low cost of wood to facilitate the access of power to millions of Americans. However, wood presents a variety of challenges as a material. In structural applications, one...

  • Freezing of a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson Fluid using Classical Density Functional Theory

    Creator:
    Finster, Kirstie L.
    Abstract:
    We use Classical Density Functional Theory (cDFT) to predict the freezing of a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson (WCA) fluid, and construct pressure-temperature and temperature-density phase diagrams. A WCA fluid consists of soft spheres that exhibit the repulsive portion of the Lennard-Jones potential widely used to model the interaction of two neutral atoms. Our...

  • 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...

  • Stereoselective synthesis & application of enantioenriched main group α-haloalkyl organometal reagents

    Creator:
    Emerson, Christopher R.
    Abstract:
    Sulfoxide-ligand exchange (SLE) and asymmetric halogen-metal exchange (AHME) processes were separately examined for the enantioselective synthesis of functionalized alpha-haloalkylmetal (carbenoid) reagents. Carbenoids derived from SLE were used to effect stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH) of boronic esters and those generated via AHME were engaged in Darzens-type chemistry with aldehydes. Abstract for...

    Sauter, Megan E.
    Abstract:
    During summer and fall 2007, I traveled across Europe and studied in Spain. My experiences abroad shaped my reading of certain literary texts as I gained insight into the cultures and settings in which they were produced. In my thesis, I recount some of these experiences and show how my...

  • Omen of Mere Event : Vignettes in a Post-Wilderness Landscape

    Creator:
    Schultz, Aaron A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis uses a series of non-fiction vignettes to explore objects, agencies, and networks, applying theories of rhetoric and composition directly to experience and vise versa. Focusing on agency--as understood through sociology's actor-networks, post- humanism’s Object Orientated Ontology, and Ecocriticism's ecological approach--I look at events, landscapes, and partnerships that have...

  • Protein-protein interactions in the bacteriophage T4 dNTP synthetase complex

    Creator:
    Shen, Rongkun
    Abstract:
    The enzymes of dNTP synthesis in T4 infection associate to form a multienzyme complex, the T4 dNTP synthetase complex, facilitating the flow of metabolites en route to dNTPs, and their subsequent flow into DNA. Study of protein-protein interactions helps one to understand how the enzymes in the complex are organized...
