Creator:: Furuta, Takuya
Abstract:: Several approaches to the synthesis of penicillin from 2-iminothioazolidine 50, from 2-thiothiazolidine 66 and by photocyclization of 77 and 78 were investigated. 2-Iminothiazolidine 50 was prepared from dibromoester 45 by the action of benzylamine followed by treatment of aziridine 46 with potassium or ammonium thiocyanate. Attempted introduction of a two-carbon...

Full Text:: THE THESIS OF TAKUYA FURUTA for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry presented on March

Creator:: Lu, Wanli
Abstract:: Among the myriad of naturally occurring bioactive compounds are the aminocyclopentitol-containing natural products that represent a family of sugar-derived microbial secondary metabolites, such as the antibiotics pactamycin, allosamidin, and trehazolin. Pactamycin, a structurally unique aminocyclitol antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces pactum, consists of a 5-membered ring aminocyclitol (cyclopentitol) unit, two aromatic...

Creator:: Abugrain, Mostafa E.
Abstract:: Pactamycin, a potent antitumor antibiotic produced by the soil bacterium Streptomycespactum, is a structurally unique aminocyclopentitol-containing natural product. Itconsists of a highly functionalized cyclopentitol core unit, two aromatic rings [3-aminoacetophenone (3AAP) and 6-methylsalicylic acid (6MSA)], and a 1,1-dimethylurea moiety. Despite its potent biological activity, the development of thisantibiotic was hampered...

Creator:: Parsotan, Tyler M.
Abstract:: Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, producing up to $\sim10^{53}$ ergs of energy in the first few seconds of their emission -- the so-called prompt phase that is dominated by high energy X-ray and $\gamma$-ray photons. The very large luminosities released in these events...

Creator:: Abdullah, Alanzi R.
Abstract:: Among the myriad of natural products are pseudosugar-containing secondary metabolites, e.g., the C7-pseudosugar-containing oligosaccharide acarbose, the C6- pseudosugar-containing aminoglycoside antibiotics, and the five-membered ring pseudosugar-containing antibiotic pactamycin. The C7-pseudosugars are normally derived from sedoheptulose 7-phosphate catalyzed by a family of enzymes called sedoheptulose 7-phosphate cyclases (SH7PCs). This family of enzymes...

Abstract:: Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) is widely useful in many cross-lingual communication scenarios, including multinational conferences and international traveling. Since text-based simultaneous machine translation (SimulMT) has achieved great success in recent years. The conventional cascaded approach for SimulST uses a pipeline of streaming ASR followed by simultaneous MT but suffers from...

Creator:: Branyan, Callie A.
Abstract:: This dissertation outlines the design and development of the first fully-soft, snake robot and its snake-inspired skin. Soft robotics takes advantage of soft materials to, among other things, improve robot interactions with complex, unstructured environments. Due to the interplay between the soft material and the environment, minor tweaks to the...

Abstract:: Atmospheric pressure plasma is non-thermal at millimeter to micrometer separations. It represents an alternative low exergy initiator of many chemical reactions. In many instances heat, light or sound are not efficient providers of the necessary energy to overcome chemical activation barriers. The focus of this research is applying dc nonthermal...
