Although the Escherichia coli host has almost all of the enzymes necessary to
synthesize nucleotides needed for bacteriophage T4 DNA replication, phage genes
expressed early in infection encode enzymes for de novo DNA precursor biosynthesis
and salvage from degraded host DNA. Eight early enzymes and two host enzymes
comprise the...
My work has focused on streamlining the study of organic compound structure, properties, and reactions by 1) understanding and using available computational software, 2) developing software packages to facilitate data manipulation as well as augment public programs, and 3) applying public and in-house developed software to further the understanding of...
This thesis will cover my work relating to the developing field of terahertz (THz) science and technology. It will present experimental and theoretical studies investigating the optical and electrical properties of various material systems using novel THz imaging and spectroscopy techniques. Due to its low photon energy, THz imaging and...
Theoretical studies and experimental results are presented for the rotational motion of molecule's in crystalline solids. The group theory is solved for molecules of any symmetry matrix isolated at a site in a crystal field of any symmetry. As the potential terrier to rotation of the molecule relative to the...
In this dissertation, a new Δ∑ A/D converter is presented that is ideally suited for communication applications. It is based on a single-loop single-stage structure, which can realize a high maximum out-of-band quantization noise gain while maintaining stable operation and thus achieve 14-bit resolution at 8 times oversampling. A fifth-order...
The Gospel: According to Matt is a novel, told in the first person, simple past tense, depicting the struggle of a young man attempting to make sense of his relationship with his estranged father as he wrestles with a growing crisis of faith. Matt is deeply sincere in his desire...
In this dissertation, we investigate three numerical methods for inverting the Laplace transform. These methods are all based on the trapezoidal-type approximations to the Bromwich integral. The first method is the direct integration method: It is a straightforward application of the trapezoidal rule to the Bromwich integral, followed by convergence...

CONIFER simulates water, carbon, and energy dynamics of a coniferous forest. The model consists of 29 nonlinear difference equations. Measured driving variables include air temperature, dew point temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and wind speed. Water and energy variables are updated
daily; carbon variables are updated weekly. This report contains a...
