Mechanistic Investigation into the Sommelet-Hauser Rearrangement of an Allyl Ammonium Ylide Through Determination of 13C KIEs
(2011-10-21)
The [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement is a pericyclic reaction of great synthetic
utility to organic chemists. Within the scope of this reaction exist some cases in which
the product corresponding to a [1,2] rearrangement ...
High School Principals' Perceptions of Central Office Administrator Support For Planning, Coordinating, and Evaluating Teaching and the Curriculum
(2011-10-21)
This dissertation was designed to gain insight in the area of central office instructional leadership support from the perception of the high school principal. With increasing standards and high student performance ...
Safeguards for Uranium Extraction (UREX) +1a Process
(2011-08-08)
As nuclear energy grows in the United States and around the world, the expansion
of the nuclear fuel cycle is inevitable. All currently deployed commercial reprocessing
plants are based on the Plutonium - Uranium Extraction ...
In Vitro Inhibition of Listeria Monocytogenes by Novel Combinations of Food Antimicrobials
(2011-02-22)
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogenic bacterium responsible for ~500
deaths and a financial burden of ~$2.3 billion each year in the United States. Though a zero
tolerance policy is enforced with regard to its ...
Analysis of Topological Chaos in Ghost Rod Mixing at Finite Reynolds Numbers Using Spectral Methods
(2011-02-22)
The effect of finite Reynolds numbers on chaotic advection is investigated for two
dimensional lid-driven cavity flows that exhibit topological chaos in the creeping flow
regime. The emphasis in this endeavor is to study ...
Development of a Nutritional Model to Predict Digestible Energy Requirements of Broodmares based on Body Condition Changes
(2011-05-04)
Nutritional models have been developed for beef and dairy cattle to estimate energy balance based on changes in body condition score. These models have not been developed or fully evaluated in horses to date. The objective ...
Voseo to Tuteo Accommodation among Two Salvadoran Communities in the United States
(2011-08-08)
This study documents and accounts for maintenance and change in dialectal features of Salvadoran Spanish in the United States, especially voseo, as opposed to tuteo, terms signifying the use of the second person singular ...
OH* Chemiluminescence: Pressure Dependence of O + H + M = OH* + M
(2011-02-22)
The measure of chemiluminescence from the transition of the hydroxyl radical from its electronically excited state (A^2 Sigma^positive) to its ground state (X^2 Pi) is used in many combustion applications for diagnostic ...
Development of Systems to Improve Cotton Module Shape
(2011-10-21)
Properly constructed modules will prevent reduced lint value and increased ginning costs when significant rainfall occurs. Additionally, cotton producers often have difficulty finding adequate labor during harvest. These ...
Modeling of Electronically Commutated Motor Controlled Fan-powered Terminal Units
(2011-02-22)
Empirical models of airflow and power consumption were developed for series
and parallel variable air volume fan powered terminal units (FPTUs). An experimental
setup and test procedure were developed to test the terminal ...
