1. Mechanical Detection Of Electron Spin Resonance From Nitroxide Spin Probes, 2. Ultrasensitive Cantilever Torque Magnetometry Of Magnetization Switching In Individual Nickel Nanorods
Moore, Eric (2012-01-31)In 2004 mechanical detection of magnetic resonance was used to detect a single electron spin. However, the demonstration required a carefully chosen sample and the techniques developed there are not immediately applicable ... -
2-D Electronic Materials: Epitaxial Growth Of Graphene On 6H-Silicon Carbide (0001)
Campbell, Dorr (2015-01-26)Graphene holds great promise as a material for high-speed electronics, especially as Si technology approaches its performance limits. Growth of epitaxial graphene by thermal decomposition of SiC is considered to be one of ... -
3' To 5' Exoribonucleases In Arabidopsis Thaliana Plastids
Germain, Arnaud (2012-08-20)Chloroplast genes and metabolic activities are regulated by the products of nuclear genes, acting mostly at the post-transcriptional level. Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNP) and Ribonuclease R (RNR1) are the two known ... -
3[PRIME] UTR SEQUENCES AND SYNTAX: INVESTIGATING CIS-ELEMENT DENSITY AND INTERACTIONS, AND THE ROLE OF 3[PRIME] UTR LENGTH IN GENE REGULATION
Kristjansdottir, Katla (2017-01-30)Regulating the precise rate of protein production from each protein-coding gene is a fundamental process of all cellular life. While transcriptional regulation plays a large role in determining final protein levels, ... -
3D Assembly For Programmable Matter And Hollow Fiber Membrane Gas Exchange In Planar Photobioreactors
Kalontarov, Michael (2014-01-27)In my Ph.D. research I have applied mechanical engineering knowledge and approaches to develop technologies for two topics: programmable matter and green energy through biofuels. Specifically, I have addressed the issues ... -
3D DIGITAL MODELING WITH FAST PHYSICAL FEEDBACK
Peng, Huaishu (2019-05-30)The democratization of 3D printing technology is changing the way we build and share physical prototypes. As desktop 3D printers have become affordable and accessible, makers and hobbyists are able to download a digital ... -
3D IMAGING OF WHOLE CELL ULTRASTRUCTURE USING CRYO-ELECTRON MICROSCOPIES
Noble, Jade M (2018-08-30)Cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) allows ultrastructural imaging of soft matter materials with high, and often, near-atomic resolution. Imaging whole cells with cryo-TEM, however, requires consideration of ... -
3D Printed Hydrogel Micro-Environments And Bioreactor Conditioning To Develop Native Heterogeneity In Tissue Engineered Heart Valves
Hockaday, Laura (2014-08-18)Heart valve disease is a tremendous national and global burden. Prosthetic replacement is essentially the only treatment for a critically damaged or malformed valve, and current aortic valve replacement options for pediatric ... -
3D Printing Food, Foam And Forces: Additive Manufacturing Of Edible Constructs, Cellular Structures And Actuators
Lipton, Jeffrey (2015-08-17)The work presented here advances the field of Additive Manufacturing using direct write processes. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a broad set of processes that apply material, layer by layer to produce an object. Traditionally ... -
3D Scene Understanding: From Segments To Volumes
Jia, Zhaoyin (2014-01-27)Segmentation is one of the fundamental computer vision problems and has been investigated over years. In this thesis, we present algorithms for RGB-D image segmentation, and more importantly, the additional information ... -
The 42 Month War: Bayou Steel and the USWA's Coordinated Campaign
Seroka, Mihail (2005-04-08)This thesis examines how coordinated campaigns, conducted by labor organizations, affect strike outcomes. Recent changes in the industrial relations environment have forced unions to find new ways to exert pressure on ... -
The 5'-Ectoenzyme Cd73 Promotes Toxoplasma Gondii Persistence In The Cns While Limiting Systemic Immunopathology
Mahamed, Deeqa (2013-01-28)The protozoan pathogen Toxoplasma gondii is a highly successful parasite that infects up to a third of the world's population, causing morbidity and mortality in the immunocompromised and when acquired congenitally. As an ... -
6.7 GHz Methanol Masers: Properties, Associations and Tracers of Galactic Structure
Pandian, Jagadheep (2006-12-12)The 6.7 GHz transition of methanol is the strongest of methanol masers, and is the second strongest maser transition ever observed in the Milky Way. There is strong theoretical and observational evidence that the masers ... -
87Sr/86Sr, Ca/Sr, And Ge/Si Ratios As Tracers Of Solute Sources At A Temperate Forested, Shale Catchment In Central Pennsylvania
Meek, Katherine (2015-01-26)Weathering processes, governed by dissolution kinetics as well as by the rates and directions of flowing water, are important mechanisms through which solutes are added to watersheds. Flow pathways control the fate and ... -
A Behavioral Analysis Of Shopping Trip Chaining In United States
