  • Modeling studies of ocean circulation using inverse methods and bifurcation theory

    Creator:
    Vernieres, Guillaume
    Abstract:
    We present a study of the ocean circulation using state of the art numerical and data assimilation techniques. The second chapter of the thesis presents the development and application of generalized inversion to a simple dynamical model of Lake Kinneret. The intent was to develop the necessary tools to implement...

  • Phosphorus physiology and environmental forcing of oceanic cyanobacteria, primarily Trichodesmium spp.

    Creator:
    White, Angelicque E.
    Abstract:
    The biological transformation of dinitrogen gas (N2) into combined forms(termed N2 fixation) by certain genera of oceanic cyanobacteria represents the largest incoming flux of nitrogen to the global ocean. As such, biological nitrogen fixation plays a significant role in the regulation of oceanic productivity and the export of carbon and...

  • Studies towards the total syntheses of (+)-phomactins A, D and G

    Creator:
    Schwartz, Keith D.
    Abstract:
    Studies towards the total synthesis of (+)-Phomactin A (1), D (6), and G (9), fungal metabolites with unique molecular architecture and pronounced biological activity, are described. These studies resulted in the synthesis of advanced intermediates 354 and 356, which contain all of the carbon atoms of 1, 6 and 9....

  • The Effect of Affect: A Close Reading of LeBron James’ Athlete Activism

    Creator:
    Campista, Joshua, I.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to argue that LeBron James’ expressions of activism are, in many ways, perceived as insincere, hypocritical or disingenuous to his followers on the social media platform Twitter. Using the theoretical framework of Affect Theory and Plutchik’s wheel of emotions, a close reading was conducted...

  • Cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane : a novel C₂-symmetric scaffold for asymmetric catalysis

    Creator:
    Shaw, Subrata
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the development of a new enantioselective synthetic method employing chiral cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-based organometallic catalysts. The significance of this new method to organic synthesis is illustrated with preparation of enantioenriched products that are transformed to important pharmaceutical agents. Chapter 1 provides a brief historical overview of asymmetric catalysis, especially...

  • Torn : A Cluster Analysis

    Creator:
    Mulatero Ferrando, Oriana
    Abstract:
    Pornography remains one of the most controversial topics in our culture. Politicians, religious groups, and special interest organizations tend to focus on the ‘effects’ pornography has on those who consume it, and fear that pornography is a threat to public health. The general discourse surrounding pornography is that men produce...

  • Effects of Biochar-Based Seed Coatings on Seed Germination and Seedling Vigor of California Brome (Bromus carinatus L.) and Blue Wildrye (Elymus glaucus L.)

    Creator:
    James, Matthew Scott
    Abstract:
    California brome and blue wildrye are important native grass species in the Pacific Northwest. However, both species have been reported to have low emergence under less than favorable field conditions. Seed coating is used to improve emergence and stand establishment of various crops. Three studies were carried out to determine...

  • Filling a rough-mill cutting order using a fuzzy logic controller

    Creator:
    Anderson, James D.
    Abstract:
    Because of their high cost, reducing the number of boards used to fill an order of dimension parts is an important goal in a lumber rough mill. FLCO (Fuzzy Logic Cutting Order) is a computer program that achieves this goal. Using the concepts of fuzzy logic control, FLCO provides a...

  • The impact of Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeast on the aroma and flavor of Vitis vinifera L. cv. 'Pinot Noir' wine

    Creator:
    Takush, David G.
    Abstract:
    The impact of yeast on the aroma and flavor of Vitis vinifera L. cv. 'Pinot Noir' wine was investigated. Due to the presence of naturally occurring yeast and bacteria on grapes and wine equipment, and the influence these microorganisms have on wine, a means of eliminating microorganisms from grape must...

  • Micro-bubble dynamics in two-phase flow through a micro-channel

    Creator:
    Shepard, Thomas G.
    Abstract:
    An experimental investigation into the behavior of micro-bubbles flowing through a micro-channel has been conducted. Experiments were performed within a rectangular micro-channel with dimensions of 5 cm x 13.2 mm x l30 jim. Bubbles were generated in an electrolyte solution by electrolysis at the lower channel wall near the inlet....
