Development of oven and Karl Fischer techniques for moisture testing of grass seeds

Creator:: Benjamin, Ethan
Abstract:: Seed moisture is a primary factor influencing seed quality during harvesting, storage, and marketing of grass seed. However, the Association of Official Seed Analysts' Rules for Testing Seeds do not contain methods for moisture testing. The oven methods in use by seed testing laboratories in the U.S. are diverse and...

Theory of Inhomogeneous Fluids

Creator:: Krebs, Eric J.
Abstract:: This dissertation reports on the computational physics research in the area of inhomogeneous fluids. I first discuss the theory background for this work beginning with water, which is important for the two published articles that are presented in this work (Chapters 5 and 6). Next, I give a brief overview...

Generating and using terahertz radiation to explore carrier dynamics of semiconductor and metal nanostructures

Creator:: Jameson, Andrew D.
Abstract:: In this thesis, I present studies in the field of terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. These studies are divided into three areas: Development of a narrowband THz source, the study of carrier transport in metal thin films, and the exploration of coherent dynamics of quasi-particles in semiconductor nanostructures with both broadband and...

Terahertz imaging and spectroscopy of carbon-based and semiconductor nanostructures

Creator:: Tomaino, Joseph L.
Abstract:: This thesis will cover work that I have completed relating to the field of terahertz (THz) science. My work has consisted of generating tunable, narrowband THz pulses in a table-top optical setup and using both narrow- and broadband THz pulses to study various material systems. Broadband THz pulses were used...

Quantum and Classical Simulation of Electronic Transport at the Nanoscale

Creator:: Gruss, Daniel S.
Abstract:: Time-dependent electronic transport is increasingly important to the state-of-the-art device design and fabrication. The development of nanoscale sensing, the harnessing and control of structural fluctuations, and the advancement of next-generation materials all require a treatment of quantum dynamics beyond the level of traditional methods and a more nuanced approach to...

Scaffold reactivity and large scale Synthesis of organocatalyzed Yamada-Otani Condensation product and investigation of the synthesis and properties of axially chiral 8,8'-biquinolyls and 8-(naphtha-1-yl)quinolines

Creator:: Banerjee, Somdev
Abstract:: In Part I, (4S,5R)-4,5-dimethyl-4-phenylcyclohex-2-enone (19a) was prepared in 73% yield with high enantio- and diastereo-selectivity (er > 98:2, dr > 20:1) on a multigram scale by a Yamada-Otani condensation between (E)-pent-3-en-2-one and 2-phenylpropanal catalyzed by a sulfonimide derivative of (S)-proline (18, HuaCat®). Synthetically useful transformations of the cyclohexenone product 19a...

Development of Novel Agents to Combat Tuberculosis and Malaria

Creator:: Almabruk, Khaled Husain G.
Abstract:: Despite the advance of biomedical science, infectious diseases remain one of the number one killers in the world. They claim the lives of millions of people annually, particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries. In fact, more than 32% of the health burden in Africa is caused by infectious diseases, e.g.,...

Free Monoterpene Isomer Profiles in White Wine : Effect of Grape Variety, Region and Style and Impact on Odor Perception

Creator:: Song, Mei
Abstract:: Monoterpenes are important volatile compounds to the aroma of many white wines. Many monoterpenes are chiral and found in wine as different isomers. These isomers (also known as enantiomers) are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, maintain the same molecular structure and in many instances possess different sensory characteristics. Much...

Novel ternary graphite intercalation compounds of alkali metal cations and amines

Creator:: Maluangont, Tosapol
Abstract:: Novel ternary graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) of alkali metal cations and a wide variety of amines have been synthesized by one-pot chemical syntheses. Alkali metals studied includes Li, Na and K. The families of amines employed are nalkylamines, branched alkylamines, and different structural isomers of diamines and polyamines. Intragallery structures...

Hard spheres within classical density functional theory and Min proteins in Escherichia coli

Creator:: Schulte, Jeff B.
Abstract:: This thesis reports on computational research in two different areas. I first discuss the Min-protein system found within Escherichia coli. Following this I discuss an extended investigation into improving free energy functionals that are used within Classical Density Functional Theory in order to model water. Chapter 2 examines the dynamics...
