Quantitative determination of emerging contaminants, solvent stabilizers and fullerene nanomaterials, in biological and environmental systems

Creator:: Isaacson, Carl W.
Abstract:: To determine the impact of emerging environmental contaminants on human and environmental health, quantitative analytical methods are required. Analysis of emerging contaminants is hampered by their widely varying physical-chemical properties. Therefore quantitative analytical methods must be developed to determine the behavior of emerging contaminants in environmental systems. A quantitative analytical...

Gas-phase fragmentation chemistry of protonated peptide ions

Creator:: Bythell, Benjamin James
Abstract:: The fragmentation characteristics of protonated peptides have been investigated using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) under various fragmentation regimes and detailed density functional theory (DFT) reaction pathway calculations. The DFT calculations predict novel salt-bridge stabilized transition structures as well as consecutive reactions occurring in proton-bound dimers for some of the ions...

Kinematic and cyclostationary parameter estimation for co-channel emitter location applications

Creator:: Ohm, David R.
Abstract:: The problem of locating a signal source, or an emitter, has many civilian and military applications, such as communication regulations enforcement, military reconnaissance, and search-and-rescue operations. Many of the most widely used emitter location methods rely on the accurate and robust estimation of the differential time delay, or time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA),...

Mindfulness in counseling and psychotherapy : A literature review and quantitative investigation of mindfulness competencies

Creator:: Stauffer, Mark D.
Abstract:: There is substantial interest in the application of mindfulness in counseling and psychotherapy. The appeal of mindfulness training and mindfulness-based interventions has increased as research continues to demonstrate benefits. Mindfulness practice has not only been effective in clinical applications with clients, but has also been conceptualized as beneficial for counselors...

Development, validation and the application of a congener specific photodegradation model for PBDEs

Creator:: Zeng, Xia
Abstract:: The thermodynamic properties of 39 PBDEs have been calculated using Gaussian 03 on the B3LYP/6-31G(d)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The PBDE congeners' enthalpies of formation increase with increasing number of bromines and show a strong dependence on the bromine substitution pattern. The effects of bromine substitution pattern have been quantitatively studied by GAM...

Fatigue and fracture of bulk metallic glasses : role of free volume

Creator:: Launey, Maximilien E.
Abstract:: Deformation of metallic glasses requires the existence of free volume to allow atomic movement under mechanical loading. Accordingly, the present research seeks to understand how free volume variations in alloys of identical compositions affect the fatigue and fracture behavior. By annealing below the glass transition temperature, the free volume of...

An intrinsic codimension two cellular decomposition of the Hilbert cube

Creator:: Ghimire, Kailash C.
Abstract:: Cellular sets in the Hilbert cube are the intersection of nested sequences of normal cubes. One way of getting cellular maps on the Hilbert cube is by decomposing the Hilbert cube into cellular sets and using a quotient map. By using a cellular decomposition of the Hilbert cube, an example...

If you build it, will they come? Evolution towards the application of multi-dimensional GIS to fisheries-oceanography

Creator:: Vance, Tiffany C.
Abstract:: The development of new technologies in science is a balance between existence and use. There are three versions of this duality – something is built and users come, something is built and users don’t come, and, finally, potential users show up but the ballpark has not yet been built. In...

Impact of exotic Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Doug. ex Laws.) plantations on water resources in northwestern Patagonia, Argentina

Creator:: Licata, Julian A.
Abstract:: Exotic ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Doug. ex Lawson) plantations are being planted within the natural distribution area of cordilleran cypress (Austrocedrus chilensis (D.Don) Pic. Ser. et Bizzarri) in Patagonia, Argentina. The productivity of these exotic plantations is much greater than that of native forests, suggesting greater water use. Before these...

Two Oregon governors : the role of perceptions in community college state budget development

Creator:: Preus, Camille
Abstract:: The purpose of this phenomenological study is to describe how Oregon governors Barbara Roberts and John Kitzhaber, whose tenures both coincided with the passage and implementation of property tax limitation measures, determined the community college budgets within their recommended state budgets. The stories of Robert’s 1993 and Kitzhaber’s 2001 decisions...
