  • The influence on Manchu women of changes in social institutions and the sinification of Manchu Society

    Creator:
    Fang, Jin-cai
    Abstract:
    Gender relations as well as the social situation of Manchu women have long been ignored in studies of the cultural evolution of the Manchu. By setting the discussion of Manchu women in the context of cultural adaptation, this study reintroduces gender and women's problems into the research on the Manchu...

  • Exile in one's homeland : Yung Wing and the Chinese Educational Mission

    Creator:
    Yao, Yingxia
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the influence of Christian missions on Yung Wing (1828-1912) during the nineteenth century, when China was beginning to encounter the West. Yung was the first Chinese graduate student to enter an American institution of higher education (Yale College, 1854). As a Westernized Christian intellectual, he strove to...

  • Total Synthesis of Isotopologues of Xanthohumol and its Congeners for Biological Studies

    Creator:
    Plagmann, Layhna S.
    Abstract:
    Xanthohumol [XN, (E)-6´-methoxy-3´-(3-methylbuten-2-yl)-2´,4´,4´´-trihydroxychalcone], the principal prenylated chalcone from hops, and its 2,3-dihydro- (DXN) and O6-desmethyl-2,3-dihydro- (DDXN) congeners, are of potential utility for the amelioration of metabolic syndrome; however, their complex bioactivity profiles cannot be properly studied and understood without access to appropriately produced synthetic materials. In the first part of...

  • Gadusol Production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Holzwarth, Garrett
    Abstract:
    Gadusol is a UV-B-absorbent compound found in fish and other marine organisms where it is presumed to play a role as a sunscreen and antioxidant. In light of commercial potential as a replacement for problematic synthetic sunscreens, a process to produce recombinant gadusol in the yeast Saccharomcyces cerevisiae was investigated....

  • Partitioning-Guided K-Means for Effective Empty Cluster Resolution in Extreme Model Compression

    Creator:
    Huang, Tianhong
    Abstract:
    Compactness in deep learning can be critical to a model’s viability in low-resource applications, and a common approach to extreme model compression is quantization. We consider Iterative Product Quantization (iPQ) with Quant-Noise [Fan et al., 2020] to be state-of-the-art in this area, but this quantization framework suffers from preventable inference...

  • Estimation of Soil Particle Size Distribution using CT Scans

    Creator:
    Boath, Max E.
    Abstract:
    Remote sensing techniques have been applied extensively in geospatial investigations, but their use in measuring soil physical attributes has been far less explored. Soil particle size distributions (PSD) are indispensable in modeling pedological and hydrological processes as well as biodiversity. However, estimation of PSD via gravimetric measurement methods, the standard...

  • Simulator for optimizing performance and power of embedded multicore processors

    Creator:
    Goska, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    This work presents improvements to a multi-core performance/power simulator. The improvements which include updated power models, voltage scaling aware models, and an application specific benchmark, are done to increase the accuracy of power models under voltage and frequency scaling. Improvements to the simulator enable more accurate design space exploration for...

  • Changing Mother-Daughter Relationships in Isan Rural Culture in the Context of Women’s Migration

    Creator:
    Ramwong, Patsarin
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the changes in mother-daughter relations in Northeast Thailand over the last three generations in relation to migration out of this region. Qualitative interviews were done with ten families in two villages; the interviews focused on representatives of three generations of women in each family. In recent decades,...

  • A Reversible Conversion Cathode – Convert Dual-ion Battery into Rocking-Chair Battery

    Creator:
    Wu, Che-Yu
    Abstract:
    In Dual-ion Batteries, anions as charge carriers might be a potential technique of energy storage. While fluoride anion has been selected as a promising charge carrier for energy storage due to its high charge/mass ratio and small ionic radius, carbonate anion has never been reported as a charge carrier for...

  • The disposition of four therapeutically important antimicrobial agents in llamas

    Creator:
    Murdande, Sharad B.
    Abstract:
    The disposition of four therapeutically important antimicrobial agents was studied in llamas following intravenous bolus administration. Six llamas were each given ampicillin, tobramycin, trimethoprim and enrofloxacin at a dose of 12 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg of body weight with a wash out period of 3 days...
