Chemical Investigation Of The Antarctic Marine Invertebrates Synoicum Adareanum And Artemisina Plumosa, Jaime Heimbegner Noguez
Chemical Investigation Of The Antarctic Marine Invertebrates Synoicum Adareanum And Artemisina Plumosa, Jaime Heimbegner Noguez
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Of the small percentage of organisms chemically investigated over the years as potential sources of natural products, much less is known about those from the marine realm. Despite the lack of attention they have received in comparison to terrestrial organisms, marine life have recently been found to represent a valuable source for novel bioactive compounds. Cold water marine habitats are home to a plethora of organisms that have the ability to produce secondary metabolites that exhibit a great deal of diversity in both their chemical structures and biological activities. The chemical investigation of these unique and relatively unstudied ecosystems is …
A Multistage Incidence Estimation Model For Diseases With Differential Mortality, Alyssa W. Dray
A Multistage Incidence Estimation Model For Diseases With Differential Mortality, Alyssa W. Dray
HMC Senior Theses
According to theWorld Health Organization, surgically removable cataract remains the leading cause of blindness worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa, cataract surgical rate targets should ideally be set based on cataract incidence (the number of new cataracts developed each year). Unfortunately, the longitudinal studies necessary to measure incidence have not yet been feasible in these areas. Our research instead proposes a method for estimating incidence based on available cataract prevalence data. We extend a method proposed by Podgor and Leske (1986) to estimate age-specific incidence from age-specific prevalence in single diseases with differential mortality. A two-stage disease extension is created in order …
Computational Feasibility Of Increasing The Visibility Of Vertices In Covert Networks, Yaniv J. Ovadia
Computational Feasibility Of Increasing The Visibility Of Vertices In Covert Networks, Yaniv J. Ovadia
HMC Senior Theses
Disrupting terrorist and other covert networks requires identifying and capturing key leaders. Previous research by Martonosi et al. (2009) defines a load metric on vertices of a covert network representing the amount of communication in which a vertex is expected to participate. They suggest that the visibility of a target vertex can be increased by removing other, more accessible members of the network. This report evaluates the feasibility of efficiently calculating the optimal subset of vertices to remove. We begin by proving that the general problem of identifying the optimally load maximizing vertex set removal is NP-complete. We then consider …
Combinatorial Proofs Using Complex Weights, Bo Chen
Combinatorial Proofs Using Complex Weights, Bo Chen
HMC Senior Theses
In 1961, Kasteleyn, Fisher, and Temperley gave a result for the number of possible tilings of a 2m 2n checkerboard with dominoes. Their proof involves the evaluation of a complicated Pfaffian. In this thesis we investigate combinatorial strategies to evaluate the sum of evenly spaced binomial coefficients, and present steps towards a purely combinatorial proof of the 1961 result.

Minimal Circuits For Very Incompletely Specified Boolean Functions, Richard Strong Bowen
Minimal Circuits For Very Incompletely Specified Boolean Functions, Richard Strong Bowen
HMC Senior Theses
In this report, asymptotic upper and lower bounds are given for the minimum number of gates required to compute a function which is only partially specified and for which we allow a certain amount of error. The upper and lower bounds match. Hence, the behavior of these minimum circuit sizes is completely (asymptotically) determined.
Group Frames And Partially Ranked Data, Kwang B. Ketcham
Group Frames And Partially Ranked Data, Kwang B. Ketcham
HMC Senior Theses
We give an overview of finite group frames and their applications to calculating summary statistics from partially ranked data, drawing upon the work of Rachel Cranfill (2009). We also provide a summary of the representation theory of compact Lie groups. We introduce both of these concepts as possible avenues beyond finite group representations, and also to suggest exploration into calculating summary statistics on Hilbert spaces using representations of Lie groups acting upon those spaces.
A Nonlinear Ode Model Of Tumor Growth And Effect Of Immunotherapy And Chemotherapy Treatment In Colorectal Cancer, Hannah P. Savage
A Nonlinear Ode Model Of Tumor Growth And Effect Of Immunotherapy And Chemotherapy Treatment In Colorectal Cancer, Hannah P. Savage
HMC Senior Theses
Colorectal cancer will kill approximately 50,000 people in the United States this year. Current treatment options, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, are often able to force the cancer into remission, but better treatments are needed to help those who don't respond to current treatments. A new and promising treatment option, monoclonal-antibody therapy, has the potential to help reduce the deaths caused by colorectal cancer, but most monoclonal-antibody drugs are currently still in trial phases, and the variations in the dosing schedule of those currently approved for use have not been heavily explored. We have modified a nonlinear ODE tumor/treatment model …
Optimizing Restaurant Reservation Scheduling, Jacob Feldman
Optimizing Restaurant Reservation Scheduling, Jacob Feldman
HMC Senior Theses
We consider a yield-management approach to determine whether a restaurant should accept or reject a pending reservation request. This approach was examined by Bossert (2009), where the decision for each request is evaluated by an approximate dynamic program (ADP) that bases its decision on a realization of future demand. This model only considers assigning requests to their desired time slot. We expand Bossert's ADP model to incorporate an element of flexibility that allows requests to be assigned to a time slot that differs from the customer's initially requested time. To estimate the future seat utilization given a particular decision, a …
Understanding Voting For Committees Using Wreath Products, Stephen C. Lee
Understanding Voting For Committees Using Wreath Products, Stephen C. Lee
HMC Senior Theses
In this thesis, we construct an algebraic framework for analyzing committee elections. In this framework, module homomorphisms are used to model positional voting procedures. Using the action of the wreath product group S2[Sn] on these modules, we obtain module decompositions which help us to gain an understanding of the module homomorphism. We use these decompositions to construct some interesting voting paradoxes.

Physics - All Scholarship
Using a sample of 25.9 million psi(2S) decays acquired with the CLEO-c detector at the CESR e^+e^- collider, we report branching fractions for the decays chi_cJ -> p p-bar pi^0, p p-bar eta, and p p-bar omega, with J=0,1,2. Our results for B(chi_cJ-> p p-bar pi^0) and B(chi_cJ-> p p-bar eta) are consistent with, but more precise than, previous measurements. Furthermore, we include the first measurement of B(chi_cJ-> p p-bar omega).

Upper Ocean Response To The Atmospheric Cold Pools Associated With The Madden-Julian Oscillation, Suyang Pei, Toshiaki Shinoda, Alexander Soloviev, Ren-Chieh Lien
Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles
Atmospheric cold pools are frequently observed during the Madden‐Julian Oscillation events and play an important role in the development and organization of large‐scale convection. They are generally associated with heavy precipitation and strong winds, inducing large air‐sea fluxes and significant sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations. This study provides a first detailed investigation of the upper ocean response to the strong cold pools associated with the Madden‐Julian Oscillation, based on the analysis of in situ data collected during the Dynamics of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) field campaign and one‐dimensional ocean model simulations validated by the data. During strong cold pools, SST …

Surface Roughness Effect On Ultracold Neutron Interaction With A Wall And Implications For Computer Simulations, Albert Steyerl, Surendra S. Malik, A. M. Desai, Charles Kaufman
Physics Faculty Publications
We review the diffuse scattering and the loss coefficient in ultracold neutron reflection from slightly rough surfaces, report a surprising reduction in loss coefficient due to roughness, and discuss the possibility of transition from quantum treatment to ray optics. The results are used in a computer simulation of neutron storage in a recent neutron lifetime experiment that reported a large discrepancy of neutron lifetime with the current particle data value. Our partial reanalysis suggests the possibility of systematic effects that were not included in this publication.

Inhomogeneity-Induced Spin Current In Atomic And Condensed Matter Systems, Bailey Hsu
Inhomogeneity-Induced Spin Current In Atomic And Condensed Matter Systems, Bailey Hsu
Theses and Dissertations
I derive and apply quantum propagator techniques to atomic and condensed matter systems. I observe many interesting features by following the evolution of a wavepacket. In atomic systems, I revisit the Stern-Gerlach effect and study the spin dynamics inside an inhomogeneous magnetic field. The results I obtained are not exactly the same as the textbook description of the effect which is usually a manifestation of a perfect space and spin entanglement. This discovery can provide insight on more reliable quantum computation device designs. In condensed matter systems, the doping concentration inhomogeneity leads to the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. This makes it …

Journal of Electrochemistry
Micro-crystallite carbon ( CC) was synthesized by KOH activation of carbonized petroleum coke precursors. The porous properties structure and crystallite structure were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction ( XRD) measurements. The capacitive behavior of CC was investigated in the electrolyte of Et4NBF4 /PC,Et4NBF4 /AN,Bu4NBF4 /PC and Bu4NBF4 /AN,respectively. Results showed that the lower potential of electric field activation ( EFA) was obtained in the solvent of AN than in PC,which was ascribed to the fact that smaller solvated ions dimension in AN facilitating the intercalation of the solvated ions into micro-crystallite interlayer. The extent of EFA was more remarkable …
