Transmission And Guiding Of Fast Electrons Through Insulating Nanocapillaries And Comparison With Ion Guiding, Susanta Das
Transmission And Guiding Of Fast Electrons Through Insulating Nanocapillaries And Comparison With Ion Guiding, Susanta Das
Dissertations
Transmission and guiding of fast electrons (500 and 1000 eV) through an insulating polyethylene terephthalate nanocapillary foil has been investigated and compared with results for slow highly charged ions. As for slow ions, guiding is attributed to charge-up of the inner walls near the capillary entrance, which, after a characteristic time, electrostatically deflects the traversing ions causing them to be guided through the sample along the capillary axis. The measurements were performed at WMU. Electron guiding is found to decrease faster with both energy and foil tilt angle than for ions. Ions lose negligible energy during the course of guiding, …

The majority of the papers in this publication are connected with the study of modern carbonate sediments. Bob Ginsburg pioneered the concept of comparative sedimentology - that is using the modern to compare to and relate to and understand the ancient. These studies are concerned with Bob's areas of passion: coral reefs and sea-level; submarine cementation and formation …
Activation Energy Of The Formation Of The Allylic Carbocation In The Acid Catalyzed Dehydration Of 4-Methylcyclohexanol, Dequina Nicholas
Activation Energy Of The Formation Of The Allylic Carbocation In The Acid Catalyzed Dehydration Of 4-Methylcyclohexanol, Dequina Nicholas
Capstone Research Projects
The existence of a persisting allylic compound at equilibrium of the dehydration of 4-methyl cyclohexanol in 80% w/w sulfuric acid is supported by absorbance vs. time plots from UV-vis analysis . The peak seen at 305 nm is an indication of the formation of an allylic carbocation over time and therefore can support a proposed mechanism for this reaction. Kinetic analysis of the compound at 35.0°C, 48.5°C, 60.0°C, and 66.8°C shows that the dehydration reaction is first order with rate constants of 1.83 x 10-5s-1 , 1.27 x 10-4s-1 , 9.28x10-4s-1, and 9.55x10-4s-1 respectively for each temperature and an activation …

An Attempt To Reduce 2-Methyl-1, 4-Naphthalenedione (Menadione) To 1, 4-Dihydro-2- Methyl-1, 4-Naphthalenediol, Alexandria S. Cooke
Capstone Research Projects
In the following report, menadione is used as the starting material of a multi-step Aldol synthesis to yield a derivative. Menadione, a known precursor of vitamin K., is proposed to be combined with safranal, from the saffron plant, to generate a product with possible benefits in the food and medical industries. The target derivative compound is a highly conjugated structure with three 6-membered rings. Current findings show that menadione is highly insoluble in water and difficult to hydrate using a typical acid and water hydration method. Hydration was attempted and unsuccessful withH3PO4 and H2SO4, thus a new method was implemented. …

Evaluating Hazelnut Cultivars For Yield, Quality And Disease Resistance, Sam Tobin
Department of Environmental Studies: Undergraduate Student Theses
ABSTRACT This long term study focuses on testing various hazelnut cultivars for yield, nut quality and disease resistance. There are various cultivars that are being tested for these desired traits but only the Grand Traverse and Skinner will be applicable for the results of this localized study. The desired traits of commercial nut production are best matched by these two cultivars. Results from previous harvests will be used to draw trends to recommend commercially functional cultivars in Eastern Nebraska.
A Survery Of Western United States Instream Flow Programs And The Policies That Protect A River's Ecosystem, Kyle Jackson
A Survery Of Western United States Instream Flow Programs And The Policies That Protect A River's Ecosystem, Kyle Jackson
Department of Environmental Studies: Undergraduate Student Theses
The Western United States can best be described as a vast, varying land, with the high plains to the east and the jagged horizons of Rockies to the west. However there is one common trait shared by these states: the lack of water resources. With the continued development of this land, the fact that water is scarce is becoming more real. This issue became more difficult to handle as the public became more aware that many competing uses existed for the finite resource, and those different uses were degrading the natural environments of the surface waters. With this realization instream …
Pat Proteins, An Ancient Family Of Lipid Droplet Proteins That Regulate Cellular Lipid Stores. Biochim Biophys Acta, John Tansey
Pat Proteins, An Ancient Family Of Lipid Droplet Proteins That Regulate Cellular Lipid Stores. Biochim Biophys Acta, John Tansey
Chemistry Faculty Scholarship
The PAT family of lipid droplet proteins includes 5 members in mammals: perilipin, adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP), tail-interacting protein of 47 kiloDaltons (TIP47), S3-12, and OXPAT. Members of this family are also present in evolutionarily distant organisms, including insects, slime molds and fungi. All PAT proteins share sequence similarity and the ability to bind intracellular lipid droplets, either constitutively or in response to metabolic stimuli, such as increased lipid flux into or out of lipid droplets. Positioned at the lipid droplet surface, PAT proteins manage access of other proteins (lipases) to the lipid esters within the lipid droplet core and …

Mangrove-Exported Nutrient Incorporation By Sessile Coral Reef Invertebrates, Elise F. Granek, Jana E. Compton, Donald L. Phillips
Environmental Science and Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Coastal mangrove forests were historically considered as a source of organic matter (OM) for adjacent marine systems due to high net primary production; yet recent research suggesting little uptake through the food web because of low nutritional quality, challenges the concept of trophic linkage between mangrove forests and coral reefs. To examine the importance of mangrove forests to coral reef nutrient availability, we examined sessile reef-forming invertebrate consumers including hard corals, sponges, a bivalve mollusc, polychaete annelid and tunicate, and potential sources of OM (decaying mangrove leaves, microalgae, macroalgae, and seagrass) in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Using stable isotope analyses …

Layered Double Hydroxides Intercalated With Borate Anions: Fire And Thermal Properties In Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer, Calistor Nyambo, Charles A. Wilkie
Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications
Fire and thermal properties of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) composites prepared by melt blending with layered double hydroxides (LDH) have been studied. Two types of LDHs intercalated with borate anion were prepared using the coprecipitation method and the metals Mg2+, Zn2+ and Al3+. Characterization of the LDHs and the EVA composites was performed using X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and cone calorimetry. Thermal analyses show that the addition of LDHs improves the thermal stability of EVA. Fire properties evaluated using the cone calorimeter were significantly improved in the EVA/LDH composites. The peak heat release rate was …
