Dynamic fluorescence imaging with molecular agents for cancer detection
(2009-05-15)
Non-invasive dynamic optical imaging of small animals requires the
development of a novel fluorescence imaging modality. Herein, fluorescence imaging is
demonstrated with sub-second camera integration times using agents ...
Topics in two-dimensional systems with spin-orbit interaction
(2009-05-15)
This dissertation focuses on the study of spin-dependent transport in systems
with strong spin-orbit coupling within their band structure. In particular we focus
on the anomalous Hall effect, the spin Hall effect, and the ...
Advances in diapriid (Hymenoptera: diapriidae) systematics, with contributions to cybertaxonomy and the analysis of rRNA sequence data
(2009-05-15)
Diapriids (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) are small parasitic wasps. Though found
throughout the world they are relatively unknown. A framework for advancing diapriid
systematics is developed by introducing a new web-based ...
Magnetic field-induced phase transformation and variant reorientation in Ni2MnGa and NiMnCoIn magnetic shape memory alloys
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this work is to reveal the governing mechanisms responsible for the magnetic field-induced i) martensite reorientation in Ni2MnGa single crystals, ii) stress-assisted phase transformation in Ni2MnGa single ...
High accuracy p-rho-t measurements up to 200 MPa between 200 K and 500 K using a compact single sinker magnetic suspension densimeter for pure and natural gas like mixtures
(2009-06-02)
Highly accurate density data is required for engineering calculations to make
property estimations in natural gas custody transfer through pipelines. It is also essential
to have accurate pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) ...
The evolution of LOL, the secondary metabolite gene cluster for insecticidal loline alkaloids in fungal endophytes of grasses.
(2009-05-15)
LOL is a novel secondary metabolite gene cluster associated with the production of loline alkaloids (saturated 1-aminopyrrolizidine alkaloids with an oxygen bridge) exclusively in closely related grass-endophyte species ...
Heterocyclic small molecule peptidomimetics
(2009-05-15)
Polymer-supported synthesis of a close analog (i.e. A) of an early lead, a 14-
membered ring peptidomimetic D3, was described. The monovalent molecule was
attached to different length linkers, and they were then paired ...
Analysis of smart functionally graded materials using an improved third order shear deformation theory
(2009-06-02)
Smart materials are very important because of their potential applications in the
biomedical, petroleum and aerospace industries. They can be used to build systems
and structures that self-monitor to function and adapt to ...
Immobilized metallodithiolate ligand supports for construction of bioinorganic model complexes
(2009-05-15)
The A-cluster active site in acetyl coA synthase exploits a Ni(CGC)2-
metallopeptide as a bidentate ligand to chelate the catalytically active square-planar
nickel center used to produce acetyl coA. As Nature utilizes ...
Characterization of ammonia emissions from ground level area sources at central texas dairies
(2009-05-15)
There is a need for a robust and accurate technique to measure ammonia (NH3)
emissions from animal feeding operations (AFOs) to obtain emission inventories and to
develop abatement strategies. Seasonal studies were conducted ...
