summary:
  Characters do their best to cope with this onslaught, alternately embracing and fending it off with such coping mechanisms as befriending cockroaches, projecting whale sounds through a rainwater pipe, archiving scenes from a failed relationship, and metaphorically detonating earrings shaped like grenades—in short, these characters craft personal ideologies even as they are influenced, as all people are, by larger, societal ones. Throughout the collection, pests often take the form of memories, fears, and grief, among other things, usually in connection with intimate relationships, be they familial, romantic, or friend-based.

  Tip Clearance Flow Interaction with Circumferential Groove Casing Treatment in a Transonic Axial Compressor

summary:
  Extending the axial momentum model to include the influence of a CGCT showed that circumferential grooves reduce the tip leakage flow axial momentum through radial transport. The axial position of this line moved upstream with decreasing flow coefficient in both the experiments and computations.

summary:
  While a majority of scholarly attention in the field has focused on Romantic era representations of war as a mediated form of deferral that sublimates war's damages, I argue that by focusing on poetic representations of the battlefield we can better understand how writers of this era open up a space in which they can consider the fragmenting and discordant effect violence has on the process of meaning-making and can represent what they themselves have not experienced. This dissertation analyzes the multifaceted representations of the battlefield by British Romantic poets in their responses to the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, covering roughly the years 1793-1815.

  Maximum sorption of Pb(II) in the presence of DFOB was ~118 Ì_å_mol/g; maximum sorption of DFOB in the presence of Pb(II) was ~140Ì_å_mol/g. Sorption density of Pb(II) on montmorillonite in the presence of DFOB increased from ~15% of initial Pb(II) at pH 3 to ~ 90% at pH 7.5. Modeling and FTIR showed that the presence of DFOB also decreased the formation of Pb-bearing precipitates.

  I therefore argue that the work of these two authors can be best understood when seen in the light of philosophical movements such as Lebensphilosophie, phenomenology, and German Existenzphilosophie as well as alongside authors such as Wilhelm Dilthey, George Simmel, Edmund Husserl, Max Scheler, and Karl Jaspers. Through this historical-contextual approach, one can see the systematicity of both Arendt and Heidegger's political thought with greater clarity: both see politics as the practice of properly integrating an authentic individual into a common world of shared social meanings (defined similarly by both).Moreover, once the internal logic of their argument is clarified, I propose that the difference in Heideggerian and Arendtian political thought is primarily due to their different understandings of what constitutes an individual's 'selfhood' or 'personhood'.

  The sea spray does not have an additive increase to sensible heat and latent heat because some of the sensible energy is taken from the air and transferred into energy carried by the vapor through the droplet evaporative mechanisms. The authors find the droplets act as a bridge between sensible and latent heat and they can influence the total energy flux as well as change the distribution between latent and sensible heat transfer under certain conditions.

  Through optimized processing to reduce the initial sidewall roughness before oxidation, further loss reductions should be achievable for HIC structures, as well as possible loss reduction in more conventional low-index-contrast structures commonly used in many photonic devices Traditionally, the drawback of such HIC devices is their greater susceptibility to scattering losses from etch-induced sidewall roughness (s) and the greater index step (dn), losses which scale with at least s2 and dn2.

  The Same Field By Different Light is both ekphrasis and prayer--a visual and spiritual response to growing up as a part of the legacy of settler colonialism through mission work in Canada, a legacy which is deeply troubled by violence and oppression, but a rejection of which cannot fully account for the human relationships that make up the author's personal history, or her father's acts of service and witness within the Indigenous community. This collection contemplates issues of faith and doubt, race and witness, and meditates on the necessity of continuing to return to and interrogate the landscapes that both shape and exceed us.

The study in Chapter 7 shows how supramolecular encapsulation of a newly designed series of cyanine dyes by cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) can alter the π-electron distribution within the cyanine chromophore alter fluorescent properties.

  Conserved Functional Dynamics in the Cell Signaling Protein Pin1: Investigations by Bioinformatics and NMR

summary:
  In the past few years, several functional site prediction methods have been introduced that aim to predict the biologically relevant amino acids in proteins based purely off of a multiple sequence alignment. Residues known to participate in conformational dynamics associated with substrate binding, as observed experimentally by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, are compared to those residues highlighted by the prediction methods.

To demonstrate this sharpness of continuity, two sequences of bounded solutions to the HS equation are constructed whose distance at the initial time converges to zero and whose distance at any later time is bounded from below by a positive constant.

  While previous studies have shown surface-attached bacterial biofilms to be highly resistant to heavy metal toxicity, little is known about the influence of heavy metals upon surface motile bacteria and developing biofilms. Metal resistance was shown to vary with motility mode (swimming vs. swarming), but did not correlate with rhamnolipid production, as was originally hypothesized; while cell products such as rhamnolipid were shown to bind heavy metals (as expected) and should limit metal bioavailability, the results suggest at least one additional mechanism (as yet undetermined) that promotes cell survival during swarming in the presence of these heavy metals.

The association between peptide binding affinity and immunogenicity has led to the engineering of modified peptides with improved MHC binding, with the hope that these peptides would be useful for eliciting cross-reactive immune responses directed toward their weak binding, unmodified counterparts.

  Unmoving People, Removing Mountains: Coal Mining, Cultural Matching, and Micro-mobilization in Central Appalachia

summary:
  I discovered the presence of cultural matching and mismatching in recruitment and enrollment: Social movement organizations tended to recruit participants who already fit culturally with the existing group's mobilizing style—a set of understandings, tactics, and modes of interacting that cohered around a group's theory of social change; local residents tended to join and support an organization on the congeniality of its mobilizing style. Mobilizing styles had semiotic import, most noticeably by placing social movement organizations on a relationally-defined scale of insider–outsider.

  Calling his reading of Plato impatient, violent and coercive, critics argue that Heidegger's caricature of Plato is driven by his life-long desire to deconstruct the tradition of western philosophy from Plato onward. These close readings lay the groundwork to view Heidegger's later move towards non-theoretical discourse as a continuation of his early attention to muthos discourse in Plato, rather than as an abrupt transition.

After reviewing literature that broadly establishes four factors (low levels of financial literacy, capital constraints, risk averseness, and the lengthy process of setting up a Central Depository System (CDS) account) as exhaustive culprits for low financial market participation in the country, this thesis will quantitatively analyze responses to online survey instruments administered to carefully curated pools of Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) participants and non-participants to determine the relative weighting of these factors within the target demographic for the proposed intervention.

summary:
  Most virtue theories seek to maintain these ideals, at least to some extent; yet, the claim that virtuous practical knowledge depends upon conditioned frameworks seems to many critics hopelessly incompatible with the ideals, committing virtue ethics instead to a form of relativism or elitism. This theory distinguishes between (in my terms) 'transcendental' and 'immanent' virtues, a distinction that answers the initial worries by reconciling the thesis about the dependency of practical reason on conditioned frameworks with the philosophical ideals of critique, universality, and realism with respect to practical knowledge.

summary:
  These findings demonstrate the promise of accessing transport mechanisms which could find utility in a diverse range of chemical separations and sensing applications through chemical-patterning of membranes. Simulations of the electrical potential near the membrane surface demonstrate that for symmetric electrolytes, the structural charge heterogeneity reduces the barrier to ion partitioning thereby promoting salt transport through the membranes.

summary:
  d. 5 of the Hesburgh Library (University of Notre Dame), in which I found three unknown autograph texts by Filippo himself: here he stresses the higher pedagogical value of manuscript texts over printed ones, and highlights his fear of finding serious mistakes, especially in sacred printed texts: the same fear expressed by humanists. Fundamentally, Filippo's unique critique is based on three main concerns: an economic one, i.e. the economic loss for copyists (because of the great economic success of printed books); a humanistic reason, i.e. the praise of the accuracy in copying texts and the subsequent attention to not making errors that, in copying sacred texts, can distort God's word; and a pedagogical reason, i.e. the pedagogical value of the action of copying itself: only by copying, indeed, can students absorb and learn the text.

MVA-based event reconstruction techniques are used to identify final states where the Higgs boson decays to either a W, Z or tau pair by selecting events with two isolated same-sign leptons, and b-jets.

  This dissertation examines how medieval heroic literature exploits the interpretive ambiguity of emotions to interrogate ethical mores. The fourth and final chapter examines how the spatiality of fear functions alongside processes of thinking and knowing, bringing the mind in proximity with possible futures; by linking the emotional to the embodied, readers engage affectively with the often-fantastical traumas experienced in heroic literature.

Focusing primarily on Hegel's oft-neglected Lectures on Aesthetics, this dissertation identifies three distinct aspects of aesthetic subjectivity: aesthetic experience, aesthetic freedom, and aesthetic imagination (both creative and interpretive).

summary:
  Observed quality of maternal parenting was assessed at 12 months of age (N=138 mother-child dyads) through the Keys to Interactive Parenting Scale (KIPS; Comfort &amp; Gordon, 2006) and child cardiac vagal regulation (RSA; respiratory sinus arrhythmia) and social oppositionalism were assessed five years later. Lastly, the direct effect of parenting quality in early life on child social oppositionalism years later was not evident, providing evidence for the importance of child physiological regulation.

This research project develops and tests a provisional theory about when and under what conditions smaller countries pursue offensive cyber-capabilities, arguing that smaller countries are more likely to develop offensive cyber-capabilities when threatened by a more powerful, cyber-armed rival, and when they demonstrate high-levels of military spending, a reliance on a high-tech military, or advanced national cyber-infrastructure.

  Public Service in the Absence of Accountability: Street-Level Bureaucrats' Occupational Ideology and Responsiveness to Citizens

summary:
  Because the social reality is much more complex than what written policies can cover, bureaucratic discretion is a fundamental component of policy implementation. By drawing from interviews conducted with municipal and ministry officials that implement large-scale urban transformation projects that target informal settlement neighborhoods in two cities of Turkey (Istanbul and Bursa), this thesis shows that, in the absence of accountability, occupational ideology becomes crucial in shaping how bureaucrats approach implementation and how they treat citizens.

  A Singlet Extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model: Towards a more natural solution to the Little Hierarchy Problem

summary:
  The two limiting cases of the S-MSSM, characterized by the size of the supersymmetric mass for the singlet superfield is analyzed, and I find that in the region of small singlet supersymmetric mass a large asymmetry can be obtained while being consistent with constraints arising from flavor physics, quark masses and top quark decays. The small and large limits of this mass parameter are studied, and I find that I can generate masses for the lightest neutral Higgs boson up to 140 GeV with top squarks below the TeV scale, all couplings perturbative up to the gauge unification scale, and with no need to fine tune parameters in the scalar potential.

  The Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Conformational Analogues of Dactylolide, Zampanolide and GEX1A

summary:
  This thesis also addresses our efforts to study the relationship between the biological activity and conformational preferences of type-I polyketide GEX1A. GEX1A proves to be an interesting lead for a therapeutic in our acute myeloid leukemia and Niemann-Pick type C disease studies and requires further evaluation of the compound's potential as a drug candidate. These studies confirm previously predicted conformational preferences of the polyketide and identifies two previously undiscovered bond rotations that promote the identification of four potential conformational families.

By unfolding the epistemological significance of these topics and examining individual letters in light of contemporary social, political, economic, and religious conditions of Anglo-Saxon England and Carolingian Europe, I highlight how women were not only engaging with their world, but how these engagements are actually documented through the ephemera of letters.

summary:
  X-wire, surface pressure, and optical data were collected to document the coherence lengths of coherent flow structures in all three coordinate directions in a turbulent boundary layer. These coherence lengths were measured to be on the order of the boundary layer displacement thickness, and together with the high convective speed of the coherent structures indicated that optically aberrating structures were located in the outer portion of the boundary layer.

  Effects of Family Conflict on Adolescent Adjustment: Testing the Effectiveness of an Intervention Targeting Family Communication

summary:
  Family conflict was directly related to both internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and indirectly related to internalizing symptoms through the adolescent's insecurity about the family and marital relationships. The intervention was effective at increasing constructive conflict behaviors, decreasing destructive conflict behaviors, and increasing the degree of resolution families reached in an in-lab problem-solving task; however, no differences were found between treatment conditions.

High velocity absorption is seen in C IV, Si IV, O VI, and lower ionization species at LSR velocities of -140 and -110 km/s. We conclude that this gas is not circumstellar on the basis of photoionization models and path length arguments.

  Internalizing was characterized by high neuroticism and low conscientiousness; in contrast, (high) detachment was characterized by low extraversion, and Reward Seeking was characterized by high extraversion and low agreeableness. However, there are several issues regarding the validity of one of these spectra, detachment, including (1) the detachment spectrum is primarily characterized by personality disorders, possibly reflecting a method effect; (2) detachment and internalizing are both characterized by low extraversion and are distinguished by the additional presence of high neuroticism for internalizing, indicating that detachment and internalizing may be more similar than currently characterized in the HiTOP model; and (3) the personality profile of avoidant personality pathology (high neuroticism, low extraversion), currently classified in HiTOP as a detachment disorder, is actually more similar to internalizing psychopathology.

We show that if G is definably connected with respect to the t-topology, then it is definably isomorphic to a definable quotient group U/L, for some convex V-definable subgroup U of and a lattice L of rank equal to the dimension of the 'compact part' of G.

These results indicate that (1) children's emotional security about multiple family relationships may serve as important explanatory processes for the link between parental depressive symptoms and children's maladjustment; (2) the marital relationship was somewhat more sensitive to parental depressive symptoms, undermining children's sense of security about the marital relationship; and (3) fathers' depressive symptoms were more disruptive to children's emotional security than mothers' symptoms.

  Lost in Translation: Elite College Admission and High School Differences in Letters of Recommendation

summary:
  The shared language between teachers and counselors at privileged high schools and admission officers at elite universities has implications for the inter-generational transmission of advantage through the process of effectively maintained inequality. Using a corpus of 17,000 letters of recommendation written on behalf of high school applicants to an elite university, this research shows that letters of recommendation from private (non-religious) high schools are longer, in some circumstances more positive, and contain more of the information that admissions officers look for in letters of recommendation.

  Writing hom(G, H ) for the number of H -colorings of G, we show that for &#948; = 1 and &#948; = 2 and fixed H , hom(G, H ) &#8804; max{hom(K&#948;+1, H ) n/&#948;+1 , hom(K&#948;,&#948;, H ) 2&#948; , hom(K&#948;,n&#8722;&#948;, H )} for any n vertex minimum degree &#948; graph G (for sufficiently large n). Third, for a given H , k &#8712; V (H ), and regular bipartite G, we consider the pro- portion of vertices of G that get mapped to k in a uniformly chosen H -coloring of G. We find numbers 0 &#8804; a&#8722;(k) &#8804; a+(k) &#8804; 1 with the property that for all such G, with high probability the proportion is between a&#8722;(k) and a+(k), and we give examples where these extremes are achieved.

  Toxicity, Mutagenicity and Biodegradability of Novel Green Chemicals: Imidazolium and Pyridinium Ionic Liquids

summary:
  Before industrial release of ILs into the environment, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the toxicity, mutagenicity and microbial biodegradability of ILs in order to provide guidelines for further green chemical synthesis. This information will aid in the design of novel green chemicals and provide a guide for future collaborative research.

In this thesis, we present an efficient algorithm for identification of locally planar regions in large-scale GPS-registered scan data containing hundreds of millions of points.

summary:
  Through case studies of Francis Bacon's Essays Civil and Morall and Margaret Cavendish's Observations and Blazing World, I contend that panaceas in philosophical literature expose in new ways the role of boldness, hyperbole, and nuanced optimism in the healing arts, while in works such as William Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 2 and John Milton's Paradise Lost, panaceas serve to reimagine the internal conflicts and motives of characters in otherwise familiar narratives about the rise of Henry V and the fall of Adam and Eve. Promising Panaceas is the first literary study to examine how pervasively panaceas were represented during the seventeenth century, a period of dramatic medical development in England during which panaceas became metaphors for fool's errands even as the pursuit of prolonged life and the cure of all diseases persisted unabated.

  For infrared detector applications, dipole antennas backed by a dielectric-filled cavity were also explored to increase air-side directive gain for antenna-coupled diode detectors. The dipole resonant frequency is found to decrease with increasing dipole length and its input impedance is sensitive to the dipole position within the cavity.

  My dissertation draws mechanistic links between sediment microbial community composition and lake methane dynamics by investigating how both microbial communities and ecosystem processes are individually influenced by the environment, as well as how microbial communities may mediate ecosystem responses to environmental change. Recent advances in sequencing technologies now allow us to determine differences in microbial community composition across space and time and to explicitly consider the influence of these differences on ecosystem-scale processes.

His teaching on sacrifice accomplishes a theological re-negotiation of the clashing traditions of Augustine and Cassian, opening a broad horizon of new cultural possibilities by elaborating a theory of spiritual perfection capacious enough to embrace the secular.

This dissertation's most important theoretical contribution to the field of comparative politics and to Latin American politics is that formal institutional arrangements did not explain the significant degrees of variance in effectiveness and in behavioral independence of ombudsman chief officers.

summary:
  A compilation of flow visualization results shows a design space of counter-rotating wake configurations, defined by the circulation and span ratios, where rapidly amplifying instabilities are consistently seen to exist. Having identified two bending instability modes in the experimental wake, it was possible to suggest a strategy by which these modes could be exploited for the control of aircraft wakes.

  In each case study I employ a two-tiered comparative structure: first, comparing early theological Muslim and Arabophone Christian approaches, and then comparing the interpretative approaches and priorities in these theological texts to those presented in select works of early classical Tafsīr. To this end, I investigate four key qurʾānic passages—Q 112; 4:171; 3:45-51; and 5:116-120—which are among the loci of Arabophone Christian and Muslim debates in the early centuries, and are therefore frequently cited and studied in theological writings early on.

  The three objectives of this longitudinal study were to examine temperamental perceptual sensitivity (IBQ-R; Gartstein &amp; Rothbart, 2003) as a predictor of cognitive growth at 20 months, attachment style (Strange Situation; Ainsworth et al., 1978) as a predictor of infant cognitive growth (Mental Development Index scores; Bayley, 1993) at 20 months, and the moderating effect of attachment x perceptual sensitivity on cognitive growth at 20 months. Latent basis growth curve models revealed that attachment security with mothers was a significant predictor of MDI scores in infants at age 20 months.

Unlike previous studies of this and other related topics, this project aims to show that Agamben's work is not only thoroughly informed by theology, but that it can also be productively interpreted as itself a kind of political theology, as presenting a constructive account of Christian theory and praxis in the space of modern politics.

  Stress Generation in Marital Interactions Among Currently Depressed, Past Depressed, and Never Depressed Spouses

summary:
  Contrary to hypotheses, partners with a history of depression did not engage in more criticism-eliciting behaviors than never-depressed partners; however, they did engage in more support-eliciting behaviors (when controlling for dyadic adjustment) even though their spouses did not provide more support, which supports the excessive-reassurance seeking model. The stress-generation model of depression (Hammen, 1991) posits that people with current or past depression behave in ways that generate more frequent negative stressful life events, and that this, in turn, leads to the maintenance or recurrence of depression.

This method provides a systematic and quantitative framework by which to elucidate common and disparate features of the light and deep dynamic stall processes and provides a bridge to the development of low-order models for the prediction of unsteady airloads, such as the normal force and quarter-chord pitching moment.

  Near-field Scanning Microwave Microscopy and its Applications in Characterization of Dielectric Materials

summary:
  SMM characterization has been used to detect defects in single crystals, such as twinning structure in a LaAlO3 single crystal; to present topographic and grain boundary effects in bulk polycrystalline yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ); to differentiate chemical variations, such as oxygen-deficient 'cored' titania crystal, and Zn/Co varied BZCN312 matrices; to characterize inhomogeneities of dielectric properties in a co-fired CMT30/CMT40 ceramic; to discover a new phase with unknown dielectric properties, such as BZCN816 phase in BZCN312 matrices; to investigate stabilized components, such as La2/3TiO3 phase stabilized by LaAlO3 phase; to study solid solution, such as LT3-LAO solid solution and LAO-STO solid solution; to study phase separation and development, LaAlO3-TiO2 and CaTiO3-MgTiO3 diffusion couples; to observe critical feature size effect, such as in CT-MT eutectic system; and to rank the dielectric constant of dielectric materials in these demonstrated systems. All of theses studies indicate that near-field scanning microwave microscopy is a powerful nondestructive technique to characterize local dielectric properties variations, and relate them to local microstructure and chemical variations.

  Enlightened Compassion and Global Governance with Chinese Characteristics: Oneness, Care, and Cosmopolitanism in the Political Philosophy of Wang Yangming (1472-1529)

summary:
  Using textual and historical analysis, I examine and reconstruct Chinese cosmopolitanism and a theory of world order advocated by Wang Yangming (1472-1529), a Neo-Confucian philosopher and general of Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).Wang's role as a philosopher-statesman provides an ideal case to investigate complex relations between Confucian ethics of compassionate care and the discourses of Sino-centric world order. Finally I turn to Wang's views on otherness by looking into his memorials on Buddhism as an ethical way of life and competing political culture as well as his commentaries on civilizing ethnic groups on the Southwestern frontier.

  These observations, together with additional data from in vitro and in silico analyses, led to the hypothesis that the mechanisms for endotoxin recognition, that have been described in mammals, may not be present in non-mammalian vertebrates. On the other hand, innate immunity relies on a restricted number of genotypically encoded molecules such as TLRs, integrins, scavenger receptors etc. (known as pattern recognition receptors, PRRs) to recognize and respond to pathogens or their pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).

summary:
  Although all PAMs tightly bind to hPg in a nM range at 25 °C, the reduction of α-helical content at 37 °C makes class II PAMs that only contain the a2-repeat interact with hPg ~1,000 times weaker, but impacts little to hPg-binding of class I/III PAMs containing complete a1a2-repeats. However, this protection disappears when the a1-repeat is absent in class II PAMs.

  To advance this sustainable material as replacement for coarse natural aggregates (e.g., gravel) in structural applications, a fundamental understanding of the behavior of RCA concrete is needed while also incorporating the variability in RCA properties. To this end, this dissertation investigates the short-term and long-term structural behavior of RCA concrete through material and member level experiments, accompanying analytical models, and statistical investigations.

Finally, scripture's narratives of providence, from creation to the incarnation, and now in the life of the church, also put forward figures who have trusted in divine providence.

  I first criticize the suggestion that perception is a generative epistemic source, while testimony and memory are not; I propose and defend counterexamples in which testimony and memory produce new beliefs. Extensive literatures exist on the epistemology of testimony, memory, and perception, but for the most part these literatures do not systematically consider the extent of the analogies between the three epistemic sources.

  Physical and Chemical Properties of Ionic Liquids: Application for Co-Fluid Vapor Compression Refrigeration Cycle

summary:
  Due to the enormous ways ionic liquids can be designed, they offer great opportunity to be adjusted to meet the needs of various applications. For applications that require CO2 to have a chemical reversible reaction with the anion, our group has proposed using ionic liquids with Aprotic Heterocyclic Anions (AHAs).For those applications, trihexyltetradecylphosphonium ([P66614]) cations tend to be used most often because they are thermally stable and generally make ionic liquids that do not have a melting point.

summary:
  It also overcomes a central tension in civil society research: some social scientists argue that civic organizations are the key to well-functioning democracy, allowing people the ability to collectively organize for the promotion of their interests, but others argue that civic organizations instead breed exclusion, leaving only organized communities in the position to reap the benefits of organization. Its fundamental premise is that the effects of civic organizations differ, depending on the form they take and the level of analysis at which they operate.

summary:
  To identify genes and mechanisms regulating differential growth, a series of phenotypes ranging from bulk growth (e.g. blood smears and Hx-incorporation) to its nested steps (merozoite production, invasion efficiency, and cycle time) were measured in progeny of a cross between a CQ resistant and CQ sensitive parasite, Dd2 and HB3 respectively, and used in quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping. Progeny exhibit quantitative distributions of growth in all five growth assays.

The third chapter is dedicated to the study, and characterization, of differential fields with a notion of largeness for differential-algebraic sets.

  Results indicate that formation of uranyl peroxide nanoclusters follows a well-defined stepwise mechanism consisting of multiple assembly/disassembly steps showing retention of basic uranyl peroxide building blocks (e.g. [(UO2)4(O2)4], {U4}).Finally, stability of [(UO2)20(O2)27(HPO4)6], {U20P6} nanocluster incorporating peroxide in an unusual µ:eta2:eta2 bridging mode is studied by combination of Raman, 31P DOSY NMR spectroscopy, small angle X-ray scattering, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. This thesis explores the mechanisms by which uranyl peroxide complexes form, the detailed structural features of pyrophosphate functionalized nanoclusters, the spectroscopic signatures of uranyl peroxide monomers, the effect of pH on the identity of the products formed in the uranium-peroxide-pyrophosphate system, and stability of uranyl peroxide nanoclusters.

  Prolongational and Transformational Views of Sonata Form in the First Movement of Schubert's Piano Sonata in B-flat, D.960

summary:
  This thesis analyzes the first movement of Franz Schubert's Piano Sonata in B-flat major, D. 960, with special attention to issues of sonata form. A Schenkerian viewpoint is adopted, and that choice is justified by Schenkerian analysis' ability to attend to the most important rhetorical moments of sonata form.

  Tracking Diplomacy: The International Geophysical Year and American Scientific and Technical Exchange with East Asia, 1955-1973

summary:
  By examining the experience of American observers working at satellite tracking stations in Japan and India, this thesis argues that in order to understand the nature and impact of global scientific programs, the day-to-day workings of the scientific outposts, the backbone of the programs, have to be examined. At the beginning of the Space Age, under the auspices of the International Geophysical Year (IGY), the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) was chosen to develop a network of optical satellite tracking stations in a number of countries around the world.

summary:
  A synthesis of my findings from high N streams in the Midwest suggests that land-use practices have increased temporary N removal at the expense of permanent N removal. At the reach scale, I studied how land use influenced N uptake and transformation in Midwestern streams (Michigan, USA) and found that dissimilatory N transformation rates (i.e., nitrification and denitrification) within streams were not affected by riparian zones, which are commonly used to mitigate water quality degradation.

summary:
  This combination of high water uptake and low swelling ratio of these copolymers resulted in excellent proton conductivity and membrane dimensional stability under fully hydrated conditions. However, the long hydrophilic sequences (typically &gt;10,000 g/mol) required to achieve high proton conductivity usually lead to excessive water swelling which degrade membrane dimensional stability.

The overlapping ecological, economic, and social crises created by our contemporary industrialized food system have increased moral attention to the human relationship to the rest of nature.

The result was an eclectic set of often radical principles that few other Englishmen of his time could have completely shared, yet principles forwarded at the service of a desire to restore the harmonious bonds of Court and Country lodged deep in the English past.

  We show that if the even initial value is close enough to a 2-dimensional manifold of approximately homogenous solutions, the solution blows up in a finite time and the asymptotical profile is an approximate solution with parameters evolving according to a certain dynamical system plus a small fluctuation in $L^infty$.The result allows us to construct initial data with more than one local maximum while the solutions still blow up in a finite time according to the asymptotical profile. We also demonstrated that there is an open subset in the space of initial data and their solutions blow up according to the described asymptotical profile.
