  • Development of organocatalyzed, intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition and application towards alkaloid synthesis

    Creator:
    Carlson, Erik
    Abstract:
    Effective methods for the enantiopure formation of substituted piperidine rings are significantly important due to their presence in alkaloid products. A valuable method to form these ring systems would be via an intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition from the corresponding enone or enal. Described herein is a methodolgy that has been...

  • Finite element modeling of gusset plate failure using OpenSees

    Creator:
    Walker, Andrew J.
    Abstract:
    The collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis, MN in 2007 prompted an investigation into the design and inspection of the steel truss bridges. Further investigation into the collapse revealed that a gusset plate experienced sway buckling, causing the bridge failure. This bridge failure motivated research into the analysis and...

  • Local Accessibility of Objective, Classical Reality

    Creator:
    Kincaid, Joshua J.
    Abstract:
    The fact that measuring a quantum system reduces it to apparently classical behavior, eliminating the interference patterns that are a hallmark of quantumness, cries out for an explanation. That explanation has been provided by the recognition of decoherence,whereby the interference is destroyed by the very interaction that acquires information.We begin...
