    Creator:
    Ingeman, Kurt E.
    Abstract:
    There is increasing awareness that human activities are altering the ways that natural systems operate and that local shifts in species composition and abundance can lead to abrupt and irreversible global change. Therefore, understanding the processes that buffer biological communities from critical shifts and how our actions affect natural stabilizing...

  • The postwar novel as postmodern : revisiting Catch-22 & Slaughterhouse-five

    Creator:
    Spreitzer, Peter
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an exploration of Catch-22 (1961) and Slaughterhouse-Five (1969), two early documents of American postmodern literature. In particular, this thesis attempts to present the critical discussions surrounding each novel as parallel to the broader theoretical discussions surrounding the concept of postmodernism. My contention is that, in both of...

  • Synthesis of epothilones and epothilone analogues

    Creator:
    Sundermann, Kurt F.
    Abstract:
    A convergent synthesis of epothilone B that generates all seven of its asymmetric centers in a completely stereoselective fashion has been completed. Key reactions include an anti-Felkin aldol condensation to set the C6 and C7 stereochemistry, a directed α-hydroxylation to install the C15 (S)-hydroxyl substituent, and a Wittig condensation to...

  • Flow boiling of lithium bromide-water solution in microchannels, with application to desorption

    Creator:
    Fackrell, Kurt
    Abstract:
    Recent studies of flow boiling within microchannels have shown high heat fluxes, leading to successful design and testing of compact heat exchangers, cooling systems for electronics and other high efficiency, miniature components. An experimental study of flow boiling of a concentrated salt solution in microchannels is presented. Experiments examined flow...

  • Development of a discrete-event, object-oriented framework for network-centric simulation modeling using Java

    Creator:
    Colvin, Kurt
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this research is to develop a network-centric simulation modeling framework that can be used to build simulation models through the use of Internet-based resources. An object-oriented programming approach was used to build a Java-based modeling framework focused on modeling a semiconductor fabrication system. This research is...

  • Factors that affect task prioritization on the flight deck

    Creator:
    Colvin, Kurt W.
    Abstract:
    Cockpit Task Management (CTM) is the initiation, monitoring, prioritization, execution, and termination of multiple, concurrent tasks by night crews. The primary research question posed in the current research is what factors affect task prioritization on the modern day, commercial flight deck. The conventional CTM literature was reviewed as an introduction...
