The Design, Synthesis And Analysis Of High-Affinity Peptide-Peptoid Hybrid Ligands That Bind Evh1 Domains & The Synthesis Of 1-Substituted M-Terphenyls That Seve As N^C^C And O^C^C Ligands For Use In Cyclometallated Platinum Complexes, Eric J. Dimise
Honors Theses
Protein-ligand interactions are often at the center of cellular regulatory processes. The Enabled/ vasodilator Stimulated Phosphoprotein Homology 1 (EVH1) domain of the Enabled/ Vasodilator Stimulated Phosphoprotein (Ena/VASP) protein family has been linked to the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton through multiple protein-protein interactions via the recognition of polyproline amino acid sequences. Here, we examine the structural and physicochemical features of the EVH1 domain in an effort to design high affinity peptide-peptoid hybrid ligands that compete with EVH1's natural binding partners. & The unique photophysical properties of aryl, tridentate complexes of platinum have recently led to a surge in ligand design …
Inclusion Of Customized Quantum Dots Into Laponite Based Nanocomposites, Jennifer Rae Eliseo
Inclusion Of Customized Quantum Dots Into Laponite Based Nanocomposites, Jennifer Rae Eliseo
Honors Theses
Quantum dot (QD) semiconductor nanocrystals offer unique electronic, magnetic, and optical properties, that can be used in advanced materials applications including optoelectronics, catalysis, sensing, and quantum computing. Tailoring of quantum dot surface coatings allows for control of self-assembly and facile inclusion into various host matrices. Querner and colleges have provided a novel synthetic route to graft aniline tetramer units onto quantum dots via a disulfide bridge. A key goal of our work has been the optimization of this synthesis for inclusion of functionalized QDs within Laponite/polyaniline nanoscaffolds. Uv/visible and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to study frequency resonance energy transfer within …

Grazing Intensity Effects On Northern Plains Mixed-Grass Prairie, Wendi M. Rogers, Donald R. Kirby, Paul E. Nyren, Bob D. Patton, Edward S. Dekeyser
The Prairie Naturalist
We evaluated the effects of long-term (1988 to 2000) grazing on northern mixed-grass prairie at tI.e Central Grasslands Research Extension Center in south-central North Dakota. We did not detect a difference in herbaceous basal cover between grazing intensities following 12 consecutive years of season-long moderate (50% removal of annual above-ground standing crop) and heavy (80% removal of annual above-ground standing crop) grazing. However, both moderate and heavy grazing intensities reduced above-ground herbaceous standing crop, total root biomass, and soil organic carbon. Moderate grazing intensity maintained a greater amount of deep (10 to 20 cm) and total root biomass relative to …
Christmas Bird Counts For North Dakota 2004, Robert N. Randall
Christmas Bird Counts For North Dakota 2004, Robert N. Randall
The Prairie Naturalist
Christmas Bird Counts were made in 21 areas in North Dakota again in the year 2004. During the year a new count site was established in Pembina County and registered with the Audubon Society but an actual count was not made in the area this year. The location of the all areas in which counts were actually made is shown in Fig. 1. A relatively mild fall season leading up to the count period left much more open water than normal. Weather conditions during the count period varied widely with some areas reporting temperatures in the 40's and 50's of, …

Influence Of Biocontrol Insects On Canada Thistle: Seed Production, Germinability, And Viability, Gary E. Larson, Tim A. Wittig, Kenneth F. Higgins, Brent Turnipseed, Dawn M. Gardner
The Prairie Naturalist
We conducted surveys of thistle-feeding insects on Canada thistle [Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.] during the 2000 and 2001 growing seasons at Lacreek National Wildlife Refuge (LNWR), South Dakota, and analyzed their impact on thistle seed production, germination, and viability. Insects included Canada thistle stem weevil [Hadroplontus litura, formerly Ceurtorhynchus lilura, (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)], introduced at LNWR as a biocontrol agent, plus two seed head parasites, the thistle head weevil [Rhinocyllus conicus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)] and the seed head fly [Terellia ruficauda (Diptera: Tephritidae)]. Infestation by these insects caused no significant reduction in per-head seed yield, with means ranging from 82.5 seeds per …

Radiation-sterilization at 25 and 35 kGy of freeze-dried human amniotic membranes caused degradative effects in the biologic dressing. The decrease in pH and increase in UV absorption showed that radiation may have caused possible radiolytic changes in this biomaterial. Total nitrogen content, tensile strength, and [H3]water-retention capacity of the irradiated membranes remained invariable. Molecular topography analysis by atomic force microscopy showed radiation-induced defrayment of the collagen fibers, the major structural protein in amnion.

Aggregate Nearest Neighbor Queries In Spatial Databases, Dimitris Papadias, Yufei Tao, Kyriakos Mouratidis, Chun Kit Hui
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Given two spatial datasets P (e.g., facilities) and Q (queries), an aggregate nearest neighbor (ANN) query retrieves the point(s) of P with the smallest aggregate distance(s) to points in Q. Assuming, for example, n users at locations q1,...qn, an ANN query outputs the facility p belongs to P that minimizes the sum of distances |pqi| for 1 is less than or equal to i is less than or equal to n that the users have to travel in order to meet there. Similarly, another ANN query may report the point p belongs to P that minimizes the maximum distance that …

Book Review: Across The Board: The Mathematics Of Chessboard Problems By John J. Watkins, Arthur T. Benjamin
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
I think I became a mathematician because I loved to play games as a child. I learned about probability and expectation by playing games like backgammon, bridge, and Risk. But I experienced the greater thrill of careful deductive reasoning through games like Mastermind and chess. In fact, for many years I took the game of chess quite seriously and played in many tournaments. But I gave up the game when I started college and turned my attention to more serious pursuits, like learning real mathematics.

All sanlples were negative for antibodies against St. Louis encephalitis virus as determined by PRNT90. Antibodies to flaviviruses were …
Self And On-Selfadjoint Sturm-Liouville Operators With Exponentially Decaying Potentials, Alain Kerouanton
Self And On-Selfadjoint Sturm-Liouville Operators With Exponentially Decaying Potentials, Alain Kerouanton
Doctoral
In this thesis we investigate the properties of a class of linear differential operators known as Sturm-Liouville operators. Sturm-Liouville operators arise from differential equations of the form - y”+q(x)y = λy, where q is known as the potential and λ is a spectral parameter. This differential equation has been of great importance in mathematics and physics alike. We allow the potential to be real or complex valued and assume that q satisfies |q(x)|≤ce-ax, x≥0, where a >0 and c > 0. We first give a brief account of the mathematical background we will be using and then proceed to give a …

Laurance Lake is a reservoir located in Hood River County, Oregon (Figure 1). It is located at the base on Mt. Hood in Oregon (see Figure 2 and Figure 3), discharges into the Middle Fork of the Hood River. The reservoir was constructed in 1968 for irrigation storage and has a capacity 3564 acre- feet at full pool. Since the river vio lates temperature standards, this study has been designed to construct a hydrodynamic and temperature model of Laurance reservoir in order to assess strategies for improving temperatures in the Middle Fork River.
The objectives of the study are then …

We describe ten polyene analogs of farnesol, typified by 3,7,11-trimethyl-2,4,6,8,10-dodecapentenaldehyde oxime, which preserve the length, cross-section, and approximate hydrophobicity of farnesol. Four of the ten display strong quorum- sensing activity in the human pathogen Candida albicans, with IC50 values for inhibition of germ-tube formation as low as 10 μM. The polyenes display absorption maxima between 320 and 380 nm, with the extinction coefficients for the oximes approaching 100,000. All but two of the analogs are fluorescent, with excitation maxima varying over the range of 320–370 nm. Oxime anti-4, which can undergo fluorescence excitation at wavelengths beyond 400 …

Different Web Service standards like WSDL, WS-Security, WS-Policy etc., henceforth referred to as WS*, factorize Web Service management tasks into different aspects, such as input/output, workflow, or security. The advantages of WS* are multiple and have already achieved industrial impact. WS* descriptions are exchangeable and developers may use different implementations for the same Web Service description. The disadvantages of WS*, however, are also apparent: even though the different standards are complementary, they must overlap and one may produce models composed of different WS* descriptions, which are inconsistent with each other, but the reasons for the inconsistencies are not easily determined. …

An Evolutionary Algorithm To Generate Hyper-Ellipsoid Detectors For Negative Selection, Joseph M. Shapiro, Gary B. Lamont, Gilbert L. Peterson
An Evolutionary Algorithm To Generate Hyper-Ellipsoid Detectors For Negative Selection, Joseph M. Shapiro, Gary B. Lamont, Gilbert L. Peterson
Faculty Publications
This paper introduces hyper-ellipsoids as an improvement to hyper-spheres as intrusion detectors in a negative selection problem within an artificial immune system. Since hyper-spheres are a specialization of hyper-ellipsoids, hyper-ellipsoids retain the benefits of hyper-spheres. However, hyper-ellipsoids are much more flexible, mostly in that they can be stretched and reoriented. The viability of using hyper-ellipsoids is established using several pedagogical problems. We conjecture that fewer hyper-ellipsoids than hyper-spheres are needed to achieve similar coverage of nonself space in a negative selection problem. Experimentation validates this conjecture. In pedagogical benchmark problems, the number of hyper-ellipsoids to achieve good results is significantly …

Faculty Articles
New low-frequency 74 and 330 MHz observations of the Galactic center (GC) region reveal the presence of a large-scale (6° × 2°) diffuse source of nonthermal synchrotron emission. A minimum-energy analysis of this emission yields a total energy of ~(phi4/7f3/7) × 1052 ergs and a magnetic field strength of ~6(phi/f)2/7 μG (where phi is the proton to electron energy ratio and f is the filling factor of the synchrotron emitting gas). The equipartition particle energy density is 1.2(phi/f)2/7 eV cm-3, a value consistent with cosmic-ray data. However, the derived magnetic field is several orders of magnitude below the 1 mG …

Theses and Dissertations
Phishing attacks are spam e-mails that attempt to fool recipients into divulging their identifying information by posing as a message from a well known company and using that company's branding and logos. It is estimated that phishing attacks have cost bank and credit card customers $1.2 billion in the U.S. in 2003. Previous work, content-triggered trust negotiation (CTTN), filters Internet traffic for sensitive data, and prevents a user from disclosing sensitive information to an un-trusted server. However, existing CTTN implementations are vulnerable to client-side scripts that obfuscate any data the client's browser sends to the web server in order to …
