  • Vitamin E and K interactions : investigating mechanisms of reduced vitamin K status in response to excess vitamin E

    Creator:
    Farley, Sherry Mae
    Abstract:
    The primary goal of my studies was to elucidate the mechanisms for the well-recognized interaction between two nutrients, vitamins E and K. The outcomes from my studies assess mechanisms for adverse effects of vitamin E and provide novel information on mechanisms for vitamin K homeostasis. These findings will provide information...

  • Total Synthesis of Cephalotaxus Alkaloids and Synthetic Studies toward Bazzanin K

    Creator:
    Ju, Xuan
    Abstract:
    Dearomatization reactions exist broadly in biosynthesis and chemical synthesis. The highly functionalized atoms of arenes can be masked by it aromaticity, and upon dearomatization, those reactive atoms can be readily applied to bond formation and further manipulation. The total synthesis of (–)-cephalotaxine and (–)- homoharringtonine is described via an oxidative...

  • Characterization and Mediation of K-12 Science Teachers' Implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards

    Creator:
    Rogan-Klyve, Allyson M.
    Abstract:
    The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are a recent set of standards that leverage decades of research to present an innovative and coherent image for K 12 science education in the United States. Major themes in the NGSS include the intertwining of learning and doing science, addressing connections across scientific...

  • Diversity combining ARQ over the m(> 2)-ary unidirectional channel

    Creator:
    Elarief, Noha
    Abstract:
    In diversity combining automatic repeat request (ARQ), erroneous packets are combined together forming a single, more reliable, packet. In this thesis, we give a diversity combining scheme for the m-ary unidirectional channel. A system using the given scheme with a t-unidirectional error detecting code is able to correct up to...

  • Progress Towards the Total Synthesis of Bazzanin K

    Creator:
    Salvo, Patrick
    Abstract:
    Molecular chirality plays a critical role in chemistry, biology, and medicine. To study and better understand conformational chirality, it is necessary to obtain structurally interesting molecules that exhibit this form of chirality. Our lab utilizes total synthesis and methodological development to obtain conformationally chiral natural products of interest. We believe...

    Creator:
    Creighton, Sean
    Abstract:
    In the contemporary U.S., the state, through the Legislative Assembly, the State Board of Education, and the Department of Education, sets policies for K-12 education. These include goals and standards that affect the kinds of influences local officials, parents, and students can have on various education programs, required and elective...

  • Fundamental Studies of the Structure-Property Correlations of Na-ion and K-ion Storage in Non-Graphitic Carbon

    Creator:
    Li, Zhifei
    Abstract:
    Grid-scale energy storage systems are urgently needed to increase the flexibility and rigidity of the grid for modern society and take full advantage of the renewable green energy resources such as solar energy and wind energy. Na-ion batteries (NIBs) and K-ion batteries (KIBs) have been emerged as one of the...

  • Accelerating the convergence of the k-eigenvalue problem using a coarse mesh finite differencing scheme in cylindrical geometry

    Creator:
    Hummel, Andrew J.
    Abstract:
    Reactor modeling is largely limited by the computational time required to perform accurate full core calculations. There are many different methods and techniques employed in different reactor simulation codes, but properly modeling all of the physics that takes place in the system requires extensive computational effort. The Coarse Mesh Finite...

    Bowen, Michael S.
    Abstract:
    Recent interest in oxy-fuel combustion for carbon capture, as well as advancements in technologies such as magnetics, materials, and computational modeling has sparked renewed interest in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation. The increased temperatures of oxy-fuel combustion versus air-fuel combustion poses a challenge in the selection of materials for plasma exposed...
