Systematics, phylogeny, and biogeography of the hysterangiales and related taxa (Phallomycetidae, Homobasidiomycetes)

Creator:: Hosaka, Kentaro
Abstract:: Monophyly of the gomphoid-phalloid clade was confirmed based on multigene phylogenetic analyses. Four major subclades (Hysterangiales, Geastrales, Gomphales and Phallales) were also demonstrated to be monophyletic. The interrelationships among the subclades were, however, not resolved, and alternative topologies could not be rejected statistically. Nonetheless, most analyses showed that the Hysterangiales...

Novel ACTFEL phosphor development

Creator:: Ang, Wie Ming
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis is to identify and to explore novel ACTFEL phosphor materials. Several important materials properties relevant to ACTFEL phosphor development are identified. All of these properties cannot be obtained simultaneously. Therefore, several key phosphor materials properties are identified as critical to the development of an ACTFEL...

Spalting Fungi : Genetic Identification, Material Interactions and Microscopical Characteristics of Extracted Pigments

Creator:: Vega Gutiérrez, Sarath Mercedes
Abstract:: Spalting fungi show strong potential as natural colorants on a variety of materials, specifically textiles and wood. Four species of spalting fungi are currently utilized in this manner: Scytalidium cuboideum, which produces a red pigment called draconin red, Scytalidium ganodermophthorum, that produces an unknown yellow pigment, and Chlorociboria aeruginosa and...

Advanced propulsion systems for linear motion with high performance requirements

Creator:: Zhou, Xiaolin
Abstract:: Traditionally linear actuator applications are addressed by the use of hydraulic systems. The high maintenance cost and poor reliability will always be the most critical problem in the real applications. Benefited from both the high mechanical advantage of the roll screw and the simple structure of the switched reluctance motor,...

Study of graphite-polyurethane composite thin film electrodes for their use in electrochemical antifouling systems

Creator:: Delaney, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Prevention of marine biofouling is vital to the survivability and performance of ships, buoys, and wave energy devices. Coatings that contain metal biocides are currently used to prevent marine biofouling. These coatings have a limited lifetime and are under environmental scrutiny. As a result, it is necessary to research and...

Synthesis and evaluation of PEO-coated materials for microchannel-based hemodialysis

Creator:: Heintz, Keely
Abstract:: The marked increase in surface-to-volume ratio associated with microscale devices for hemodialysis leads to problems with hemocompatibility and blood flow distribution that are more challenging to manage than those encountered at the conventional scale. In this work, stable surface modifications with pendant polyethylene oxide (PEO) chains were produced on polycarbonate...

Precise lateral dose profile measurements of surface interfaces of hip prostheses

Creator:: Arnold, Alison
Abstract:: With the growing incidence of total hip replacements performed each year in the United States, the incidence of patients with prosthesis requiring radiotherapy is bound to increase. It is necessary to understand and quantify the effects of the high atomic number material prostheses used in total hip replacements on therapeutic...

Effective decision-theoretic assistance through relational hierarchical models

Creator:: Natarajan, Sriraam
Abstract:: Building intelligent computer assistants has been a long-cherished goal of AI. Many intelligent assistant systems were built and fine-tuned to specific application domains. In this work, we develop a general model of assistance that combines three powerful ideas: decision theory, hierarchical task models and probabilistic relational languages. We use the...

Chemical transformation of rice husk ash for sustainable, constructable, and durable binary cementitious system

Creator:: Prasittisopin, Lapyote
Abstract:: The production of cement and concrete results in the production of large amounts of CO₂ emissions which can have significant negative environmental impacts. Using supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) as a cement replacement is an effective solution to reduce these negative environmental impacts, as most SCMs are waste by-products from other...

Symbiosis in the Pacific Ring of Fire : evolutionary-biology of Rhizopogon subgenus Villosuli as mutualists of Pseudotsuga

Creator:: Mujic, Alija Bajro
Abstract:: Rhizopogon is a large genus of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi that grows in association with host trees of the family Pinaceae. We have conducted a series of studies investigating the ecology and evolutionary biology of the EM symbiosis shared between R. subgenus Villosuli and trees of the genus Pseudotsuga. Two members...
