Spectroscopic and Kinetic Investigation of the Catalytic Mechanism of Tyrosine Hydroxylase
(2011-02-22)
Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TyrH) is a pterin-dependent mononuclear non-heme iron
oxygenase. TyrH catalyzes the hydroxylation reaction of tyrosine to
dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). This reaction is the first and the rate-limiting ...
A Study of the Process and Causes of Abeta(25-35) Amyloid Formation
(2011-02-22)
Amyloid fibrils results from a type of ordered polypeptide aggregation that is associated
with ailments such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Annually, millions of people in the
United States alone develop and die from AD. ...
Organometallic Complexes that Model the Active Sites of the [FeFe]- and [Fe]-Hydrogenases
(2011-02-22)
My research primarily focuses on biomimetics of the active sites of the [FeFe]- and
[Fe]-hydrogenases (H2ase) and is classified into three parts.
Part A: The one-electron oxidation of asymmetrically disubstituted FeIFeI ...
Aldol Reactions - Isotope Effects, Mechanism and Dynamic Effects
(2011-02-22)
The mechanism of three important aldol reactions and a biomimetic
transamination is investigated using a combination of experimental kinetic isotope
effects (KIEs), standard theoretical calculations and dynamics ...
Simulation on Discrete Fracture Network Using Flexible Voronoi Gridding
(2011-02-22)
Fractured reservoirs are generally simulated using Warren and Root26 dual-porosity (DP)
approach. The main assumption of this approach is that the geometry of fractures are
uniformly distributed and interconnected in ...
Analysis of Haplotype Structure in the Bovine Major Histocompatibility Complex
(2011-02-22)
The goal of this project was to identify and characterize polymorphic markers
spanning regions of the bovine major histocompatibility complex (BoLA) to analyze
patterns of genetic variation and haplotype structure across ...
A Dredging Knowledge-Base Expert System for Pipeline Dredges with Comparison to Field Data
(2011-02-22)
A Pipeline Analytical Program and Dredging Knowledge{Base Expert{System
(DKBES) determines a pipeline dredge's production and resulting cost and schedule.
Pipeline dredge engineering presents a complex and dynamic process ...
Modeling of Shape Memory Alloys Considering Rate-independent and Rate-dependent Irrecoverable Strains
(2011-02-22)
This dissertation addresses new developments in the constitutive modeling and
structural analysis pertaining to rate-independent and rate-dependent irrecoverable
inelasticity in Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). A new model for ...
Ultrafast Laser Induced Thermo-Elasto-Visco-Plastodynamics in Single Crystalline Silicon
(2011-02-22)
A comprehensive model for describing the fundamental mechanism dictating the
interaction of ultrafast laser pulse with single crystalline silicon wafer is formulated.
The need for establishing the feasibility of employing ...
Chemical Agent Induced Reduction of Skin Light Scattering
(2011-02-22)
Skin turbidity limits light based medical applications while increasing the risk of epidermal thermal injury. Collagen fibers are responsible for the majority of light scattering within skin. Chemicals, known as clearing ...
