Exploring the Synthesis of 4-Deoxygadusol

Creator:: Jujjuri, Anantha Poojitha
Abstract:: Sunscreen products are used worldwide to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation. However, some of the ingredients used in sunscreen products are fatal to coral reefs especially in areas where tourism is a large part of the economy. In this study, we explored a synthetic route to produce 4-deoxygadusol, which...

Creator:: Gregory, Alex R.
Abstract:: Archaeological investigations at the Cooper's Ferry site in Western Idaho have recovered cultural remains dating to 16,000 years ago, suggesting the oldest human occupation recorded in North America. However, many archaeologists have argued the initial peopling of North America occurred no earlier than the opening of an ice-free corridor between...

Creator:: Weckerly, F. W., Bhaskar, G., Duarte, A., Luna, R. S., and Starns, H. D.
Abstract:: The organs that make up the gastrointestinal tract have high energy demands. Therefore, when these organs vary in mass, they should impact metabolic requirements. Mass of the rumen-reticulum organs, the organs that comprise the largest part of the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants, might vary from bulk or nutrient availability of...

Autonomy-supportive parenting and associations with child and parent executive function

Creator:: Distefano, Rebecca, Galinsky, Ellen, McClelland, Megan M., Zelazo, Philip David, and Carlson, Stephanie M.
Abstract:: Autonomy-supportive parenting appears to play an important role in children's executive function (EF) development. However, few studies have accounted for parents' EF skills when examining the link between parenting and child EF in families from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. In the current study, parents and their 3- to 5-year-old children (N...

Burning the legacy? Influence of wildfire reburn on dead wood dynamics in a temperate conifer forest

Creator:: Donato, Daniel C., Fontaine, Joseph B., and Campbell, John L.
Abstract:: Dynamics of dead wood, a key component of forest structure, are not well described for mixed-severity fire regimes with widely varying fire intervals. A prominent form of such variation is when two stand-replacing fires occur in rapid succession, commonly termed an early-seral “reburn.” These events are thought to strongly influence...

Comparison of the Accuracy and Applicability of Forebody Wake Effect Models for Parachute System Design

Creator:: Kemling, Gabriel H. and Blunck, David L.
Abstract:: The forebody wake effect (FWE) is important to consider when designing parachute systems because it can affect parachute performance. Parachutes work by altering the aerodynamic properties of an attached forebody to control a descent. The FWE can reduce parachute drag, causing the system to descend faster than desired. This drag...

Recycled Components in Mantle Plumes Deduced From Variations in Halogens (Cl, Br, and I), Trace Elements, and He-3/He-4 Along the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain

Creator:: Broadley, Michael W., Sumino, Hirochika, Graham, David W., Burgess, Ray, and Ballentine, Chris J.
Abstract:: Halogens are primarily located within surface reservoirs of the Earth; as such they have proven to be effective tracers for the identification of subducted volatiles within the mantle. Subducting lithologies exhibit a wide variety of halogen compositions, yet the mantle maintains a fairly uniform signature, suggesting halogens may be homogenized...
