  • Analysis and comparison of essential oil components extracted from the heartwoods of Leyland cypress, Alaska yellow cedar, and Monterey cypress

    Creator:
    Liu, Xinfeng
    Abstract:
    The essential oil components of cedar heartwoods play an important role in the durability of these trees. Yet, the composition of these oils and identity of many of the compounds remains unknown, or incompletely know for some commercially important cedar heartwoods. The essential oil extracts of Alaska Yellow Cedar (Chamaecyparis...

  • Effect of Reaction Parameters on the Catalytic Oxidation of Poplar Lignin

    Creator:
    Lu, Lin
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, woody biomass is becoming increasingly significant because of its renewability and biodegradability. Lots of opportunities have been found to use excessive biological resources to derive products as diverse as fuels, heat, electricity, chemicals, food, clothing, paper, and much more. As such, biomass plays an important role in meeting demands...

  • Essential oil components of Alaska cedar heartwood

    Creator:
    Xiong, Yeping
    Abstract:
    The essential oil of Alaska cedar heartwood is known to contain compounds which contribute to the remarkable durability of this species. While previous research has identified several compounds, a complete description of this oil, which has a "burnt-grape fruit" odor, has not been undertaken. In this research a profile of...

  • Using Computational Methods to Elucidate Reaction Mechanisms for Copper Catalyzed Reactions

    Creator:
    Caspary, Katherine E.
    Abstract:
    In this report, two studies are presented that utilize computations to predict and elucidate the reaction mechanisms of two different copper catalyzed reactions. Each study provides insight into the various chemical transformations, as well as the how and why behind regioselectivity and isotopic selectivity. The importance of this research is...

  • Novel Interfacial Syntheses of Covalent Organic Frameworks

    Creator:
    Liu, Ziyan
    Abstract:
    Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging type of microporous crystalline polymers connected by organic units via strong covalent bonds. Due to the well-defined crystalline structure and excellent chemical and thermal stabilities, COF materials are being considered as promising candidates in a variety of applications, such as gas adsorption, catalysis...

  • Formation of Cu₂ZnSnS₄ Thin Films via Reactive Sintering of Binary Metal-Sulfide Nanoparticles Using Intense Pulsed Light

    Creator:
    Zeng, Cheng
    Abstract:
    Copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) is a potential solar material for thin film solar cells according to its suitable band gap in the visible light range, high absorption coefficient, low toxicity, good photostability and relative earth abundance of component elements. However, the production cost of this solar thin film material...

  • Establishing new markets for CLT - lessons learned

    Creator:
    Schwarzmann, Gabriel
    Abstract:
    CLT is becoming global. New countries and regions increasingly realize the potential of what can be done with CLT. As a result, new markets are forming and new companies are entering the industry. Every new region or country that opens its doors to CLT has its own challenges and opportunities....

  • Development and characterization of shelf-life and sensory properties of restructured albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) rolls

    Creator:
    Roblero, Josef G.
    Abstract:
    Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) rolls were developed using two albacore meat levels and three different treatment combinations. Albacore meat levels of 82 and 88% (Alb82 and Alb88) of the total weight formulation were examined. The different treatments consisted of 0.3% sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), 0.3% STPP plus nitrites (150 ppm), and...

  • Fabrication and characterization of ferrimagnetic film for RF/microwave crosstalk suppression

    Creator:
    Su, Yu-Wei
    Abstract:
    The primary goal of this thesis is to fabricate a magnetic film between the coplanar transmitted stripline for crosstalk suppression. Crosstalk is caused from undesired inductive and capacitive coupling of signals between two conductors. The effective crosstalk suppression results from the inductive coupling of circuit elements through the lossy properties...

  • Total Synthesis of Cephalotaxus Alkaloids and Synthetic Studies toward Bazzanin K

    Creator:
    Ju, Xuan
    Abstract:
    Dearomatization reactions exist broadly in biosynthesis and chemical synthesis. The highly functionalized atoms of arenes can be masked by it aromaticity, and upon dearomatization, those reactive atoms can be readily applied to bond formation and further manipulation. The total synthesis of (–)-cephalotaxine and (–)- homoharringtonine is described via an oxidative...
