This research focuses on the epitaxial electrodeposition of wide bandgap p-type semiconductors and epitaxial Cu thin films via a self-assembled monolayer for energy conversion and flexible electronics. Paper I introduces the epitaxial electrodeposition of hole conducting CuSCN nanorods onto Au (111) surface, and lift-off to produce flexible and transparent foils. Highly ordered CuSCN could serve as an inorganic transport layer in various opto-electronic devices such as perovskite solar cells, LEDs, and transistors. An ordered and transparent CuSCN foil was also produced by epitaxial lift-off following …
Near-Ir Spectroscopic Analysis Of The Primary Volatile Composition Of Long And Short-Period Comets, Younas Khan
Near-Ir Spectroscopic Analysis Of The Primary Volatile Composition Of Long And Short-Period Comets, Younas Khan
Doctoral Dissertations
"Comets are among the most well-preserved objects that formed in the protosolar nebula ∼4.5 Gyr ago. Hence, they are important for understanding various aspects of the formation, evolution, and habitability of the solar system. Multiple primary volatiles (molecules directly sublimating into the coma from the nucleus) emit via rovibrational transitions in the near-IR, providing opportunities to calculate their abundances. To date, only ∼50 comets have been characterized for their primary volatiles, with the short-period Jupiter-family comets (JFCs) being significantly underrepresented. In contrast, hundreds of comets have been sampled at optical/UV wavelengths, primarily for the composition of daughter species, leading to …
Fluorination Of Rubisco-Mimetic Co2 Capture Systems. Theoretical And Experimental Studies Of Ammonium Ion Acidity Depression And Carbamylation, Brian Michael Jameson
Fluorination Of Rubisco-Mimetic Co2 Capture Systems. Theoretical And Experimental Studies Of Ammonium Ion Acidity Depression And Carbamylation, Brian Michael Jameson
Doctoral Dissertations
"RuBisCO-inspired CO2 capture and release (CCR) systems featuring amines have been developed for the purpose of reversable CO2 capture from air. The enzyme active site consists of the tetrapeptide sequence Lys-Asp-Asp-Glu. The Lys sidechain amine undergoes carbamylation and an Mg2+ cation stabilizes the resulting carbamate. The Na-acyl-lysinyl-aspratyl-aspartyl-glutamide (Lys-Asp-Asp-Glu, KDDE) peptide featured maximum capture at pH ≈ 10; a pH region too high for Mg2+ ions to remain in solution. This work aims to achieve pKa depression by introducing fluorine in the proximity of the lysine’s sidechain amine. A comparative analysis was made of butylamine, …

Applied Geochemistry, Geochronology And Biostratigraphy: Case Studies From The 38th Parallel Structures In Missouri And Orange Basin, Offshore Western South Africa, Marissa Kay Spencer
Doctoral Dissertations
"The unique alignment of the Decaturville, Crooked Creek, and Weaubleau geological structures in central Missouri, three of nine known such structures along the 38th parallel in Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas, has puzzled geoscientists for decades. Research using palynology (palynomorphs and particulate organic matter) and radiometric dating of impact spherules were used to constrain age and a relationship between these enigmatic structures and infer their paleoenvironmental conditions. Novel melting damages, unique to impact, were documented in the palynomorphs in all the three structures. Early Ordovician acritarchs with melted processes correlate with 40Ar-39Ar stepwise heating age of impact spherules …

People Move, Policies Don’T: Discursive Partition Against Climate-Impacted Dwellers In Urbanizing Bangladesh, Efadul Huq, Tanzil Shafique
Environmental Science and Policy: Faculty Publications
In Bangladesh, internal climate displacement will continue pushing millions to the urbanizing centres where migrants make homes in informal settlements. These settlements, too, are sites for climate hazards such as heat stress and flooding, affecting climate-displaced and economic migrants alike. The demands of growing migrant populations and long-term informal settlement dwellers converge around rights to secure land and housing, acknowledged in policies at both national and urban scales. Yet, settlements continue to face evictions, revealing a significant mismatch between policy aspirations and concrete urban planning strategies. Based on our ongoing research in the informal settlements of Dhaka, Bangladesh, we point …

Chi-Square Test For Imprecise Data In Consistency Table, Muhammad Aslam, Florentin Smarandache
Chi-Square Test For Imprecise Data In Consistency Table, Muhammad Aslam, Florentin Smarandache
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this paper, we propose the introduction of a neutrosophic chi-square-test for consistency, incorporating neutrosophic statistics. Our aim is to modify the existing chi-square -test for consistency in order to analyze imprecise data. We present a novel test statistic for the neutrosophic chi-square -test for consistency, which accounts for the uncertainties inherent in the data. To evaluate the performance of the proposed test, we compare it with the traditional chi-square -test for consistency based on classical statistics. By conducting a comparative analysis, we assess the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed neutrosophic chi-square-test for consistency. Furthermore, we illustrate the application …
Code Execution Capability As A Metric For Machine Learning–Assisted Software Vulnerability Detection Models, Daniel Grahn, Lingwei Chen, Junjie Zhang
Code Execution Capability As A Metric For Machine Learning–Assisted Software Vulnerability Detection Models, Daniel Grahn, Lingwei Chen, Junjie Zhang
Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications
In this paper, we consider how the ability to learn Code Execution Tasks affects a model’s accuracy on software vulnerability detection (SVD) benchmark datasets. We initially find that models can achieve near state-of-the-art accuracy on SVD benchmarks regardless of their ability to learn Code Execution Tasks. However, these models fail to generalize well across SVD benchmarks. The results indicate a bias in the datasets that allows models to predict non- SVD signals. Under the theory that different collection methods will reduce biases, we investigate combining the SVD datasets. When trained on combined datasets, SVD accuracy is reduced but correlation with …
Lattice Minors And Eulerian Posets, William Gustafson
Lattice Minors And Eulerian Posets, William Gustafson
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
We study a partial ordering on pairings called the uncrossing poset, which first appeared in the literature in connection with a certain stratified space of planar electrical networks. We begin by examining some of the relationships between the uncrossing poset and Catalan combinatorics, and then proceed to study the structure of lower intervals. We characterize the lower intervals in the uncrossing poset that are isomorphic to the face lattice of a cube. Moving up in complexity certain lower intervals are isomorphic to the poset of simple vertex labeled minors of an associated graph.
Inspired by this structure, we define a …
Long-Term Stability Of Ferri-/Ferrocyanide As An Electroactive Component For Redox Flow Battery Applications: On The Origin Of Apparent Capacity Fade, Eric M. Fell, Diana De Porcellinis, Yan Jing, Valeria Gutierrez-Venegas, Thomas Y. George, Roy G. Gordon, Sergio Granados-Focil, Michael Aziz
Long-Term Stability Of Ferri-/Ferrocyanide As An Electroactive Component For Redox Flow Battery Applications: On The Origin Of Apparent Capacity Fade, Eric M. Fell, Diana De Porcellinis, Yan Jing, Valeria Gutierrez-Venegas, Thomas Y. George, Roy G. Gordon, Sergio Granados-Focil, Michael Aziz
Chemistry
We assess the suitability of potassium ferri-/ferrocyanide as an electroactive species for long-term utilization in aqueous organic redox flow batteries. A series of electrochemical and chemical characterization experiments was performed to distinguish between structural decomposition and apparent capacity fade of ferri-/ferrocyanide solutions used in the capacity-limiting side of a flow battery. Our results indicate that, in contrast with previous reports, no structural decomposition of ferri-/ferrocyanide occurs at tested pH values as high as 14 in the dark or in diffuse indoor light. Instead, an apparent capacity fade takes place due to a chemical reduction of ferricyanide to ferrocyanide, via chemical …

Assessing The Economic Feasibility Of Capturing And Utilizing Carbon Dioxide From Ethanol Production In South Dakota, Makiah Stukel
Assessing The Economic Feasibility Of Capturing And Utilizing Carbon Dioxide From Ethanol Production In South Dakota, Makiah Stukel
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Since the Industrial Revolution, anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have spiked dramatically, prompting discussions on climate change. Mitigating climate change requires significant reductions in global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as CO2 is the most abundant anthropogenic GHG. A process that assists in offsetting the exponential growth in CO2 emissions is carbon capture and storage (CCS). Integrating carbon capture technology into the ethanol industry can provide an economically feasible way to achieve net reductions in CO2 emissions. The proposed work investigates the economic viability of applying CCS technologies to the 16 ethanol facilities in South Dakota (SD) and quantifies the potential …
Relating Predator Community Ecology And Duck Nest Survival In Eastern South Dakota, Samantha R. Fino
Relating Predator Community Ecology And Duck Nest Survival In Eastern South Dakota, Samantha R. Fino
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As conversion of native grasslands and wetlands to croplands continues in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR), managers are tasked with maintaining sustainable waterfowl populations. Mesopredator community dynamics is a hypothesized mechanism driving spatiotemporal variation of waterfowl nest survival in the PPR, yet studies often lack detailed information on mesopredator species occurrence and abundance. Therefore, understanding spatial and temporal variation in behaviors of mesopredators provides valuable insights for understanding predator-prey interactions between mesopredators and upland duck nests. Further, differences in a predator community resulting from lethal removal of dominant species may influence composition and space use patterns of subordinate and non-target …

A Study Of The Local Deep Galerkin Method For The Modified Cahn Hilliard Equation, Shi Wen Wong
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Solving higher order partial differential equations (PDEs) can often prove to be a challenging task due to the involvement of higher-order derivatives of the unknown function, particularly for complex problems. The higher the order of the PDE, the more challenging it becomes to obtain an analytical solution. In such cases, alternative numerical methods are often used, such as finite element method or finite difference method. However, these methods can be computationally expensive and require a significant amount of mathematical expertise to implement. In recent times, there has been significant progress in applying neural networks to various fields, including the solution …

An r-coloring is a function Δ that assigns a color to each natural number from 1 to some number n using colors 0, 1, . . . , r − 1. A monochromatic solution (in Δ) to an equation L with m variables is an ordered m-tuple (x1, x2, . . . , xm) where Δ(x1) = Δ(x2) = · · · = Δ(xm) and (x1, x2, . . . , xm−1, xm) solves L. Given a linear equation L and t ∈ N, the t-color Rado number for L is the least integer n (if it exists) such that …
Methods For Improving Potassium Fertilizer Recommendations For Corn In South Dakota, Andrew J. Ahlersmeyer
Methods For Improving Potassium Fertilizer Recommendations For Corn In South Dakota, Andrew J. Ahlersmeyer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Corn (Zea mays L.) is a vital commodity in South Dakota’s agricultural sector. Optimal corn production occurs when there are sufficient mineral nutrients in the soil, especially potassium (K). Applications of K fertilizer are used when soil test K (STK) levels are deficient. Therefore, producers need reliable, thoroughly tested fertilizer recommendations to make profitable decisions and maintain environmental stewardship. South Dakota K fertilizer recommendations have not been updated in nearly 20 years. Simultaneously, changes in corn genetics, management practices, and climate patterns suggest that the critical soil test value (CSTV) for STK may have shifted in that same time frame. …
Development Of Novel Cellular Assay Model And Therapeutic Deep Eutectic Solvents To Optimize The Activity Of Anticancer Agents, Nizam Uddin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the major burden behind chemotherapeutic treatment failure. It is the principal mechanism by which cancer cells evade chemotherapeutic treatment. As a result, aggressive cancer cells survive and continue uncontrolled cell division. Multidrug resistance affects survival rate of almost all types of cancer patients and death toll rises at an alarming rate. There are seven different mechanisms for evolving MDR. The most common mechanism in efflux activity of overexpressed ABC transporters. MRP1 is a prominent ABC transporter that pumps out a wide variety of anticancer drugs from the cells and thereby reduces intracellular drug concentrations and develops …

Design, Synthesis, And Biological Evaluation Of Novel Steroidal Analogs: Potential Anticancer Agents, Trevor Ostlund
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Cancer is a malicious disease with low survivability rates primarily due to lack of reliable treatment options. Treatments are often non-specific for patients, and cancer resistance to treatment is becoming more prevalent as fast as new therapies are created. Previous studies in our laboratory have focused on the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and its downstream kinase family members as a key target for cancer. This cascade controls cell proliferation, anti-apoptotic effects, cell regulation, and other survival factors. Additionally, ABC transporters, responsible for efflux of chemotherapeutic material from cells, are key targets to combat drug resistance. We first evaluated a …

Toxic inhalation agents (TIAs) (i.e., chlorine (Cl2), cyanide (HCN), etc.) are highly poisonous. However, they have a variety of industrial uses, such as health, agro-food, building, textiles, transport, leisure activities, cosmetics, etc. In addition, TIAs can be used as chemical agents in terrorist events or conventional warfare. The ability to detect TIAs in biological and environmental samples is important for preparing use, determining individual exposure, limiting hazardous exposure, etc. Therefore, developing simple and sensitive analytical methods for TIAs, TIA metabolites, and antidotes for those toxic agents is very important. The focus of this study was chlorine and cyanide. Chlorine is …
Walleye Feeding, Movements, And Energetics Reveal The Importance Of Connected Wetlands In Glacial Lakes, Logan M. Cutler
Walleye Feeding, Movements, And Energetics Reveal The Importance Of Connected Wetlands In Glacial Lakes, Logan M. Cutler
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Fish require a variety of resources including prey, thermal refugia, and different physical habitat characteristics to grow and reproduce. All necessary resources are rarely provided by a single habitat, resulting in tradeoffs between occupying different habitats; therefore, the ability to move among heterogenous habitats is critical. These tradeoffs may occur in lakes with connected wetlands where the main lake habitats tend to be more thermally stable, but wetlands often provide more diverse and abundant prey. For my second chapter, I compared prey diversity and abundance as well as Walleye (Sander vitreus) diets and condition in a large glacial lake (Lake …
