  Chlorination of 2-methyl-2-aryloxypropanoic acids with aqueous hypochlorous acid gives spiro chloro adducts in moderate to high yields. In chlorination of 2-methyl-2-(2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acids, 1,2-adducts are formed, ...
• A study of the structure, evolution and observation of horizontal branch stars 

  Dorman, Benjamin (2018-06-20)

  This dissertation presents a detailed study of many aspects of the Horizontal Branch (HB) phase of stellar evolution. A classical technique of stellar structure analysis is summarized, and applied to Zero-Age Horizontal ...
• Characterization and expression of the Douglas-fir luminal binding protein 

  Forward, Benjamin Spencer (2018-06-20)

  The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) molecular chaperone, BiP, plays a role in the translocation and subsequent folding and assembly of newly synthesized proteins targeted to the ER and secretory pathway. The sequence encoding ...
• Five new genetic loci involved in cell wall peptidoglycan metabolism of Escherichia coli 

  Dai, Dexi (2018-06-20)

  Five new genes apparently involved in the metabolism of cell wall peptidoglycan by Escherichia coli are described. One of these, designated murH, was mapped at 99 min on the E. coli linkage map. The murH1 mutant exhibited ...
• Ontogeny and characterization of mesenchymal antigens in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus puspuratus 

  Tamboline, Colin Richard (2018-06-19)

  The monoclonal antibody Sp12 recognizes an epitope shared by a diverse group of developmentally regulated cell surface and extracellular matrix antigens which are expressed during Strongylocentrotus purpuratus development. ...
• Syntheses of novel annelated dihydropyrenes from a common aryne intermediate and interpretation of their proton NMR data 

  Zhou, Pengzu (2018-06-19)

  The existence of the reactive intermediate trans-10b,10c-dimethyl-10b,10c-dihydropyr-1-yne, 57, generated via dehydrobromination, was proved by trapping with N,N-diethyl-1,3-butadienylamine, furan and a series of isoannelated ...
• Synthesis and reactivity of triangular phosphido-bridged transition metal clusters 

  Dehghan, Khashayar (2018-06-19)

  The synthesis, reactivity, and spectroscopic properties of a series of triangular phosphido-bridged rhodium, iridium, palladium and platinum clusters are described. Throughout the project, X-ray diffraction and 31P{1H} ...
• An investigation of the plasma jet as an underwater acoustic source 

  Smith, Robert David (2018-06-19)

  The plasma jet, a commonly used ignition device, has been investigated as a source of acoustic energy suitable for sub-bottom profiling. Named the plasma gun, the device discharges electrical energy in a cylindrical arc ...
• Time-resolved holography for the study of shock waves 

  Racca, Roberto Giacomo (2018-06-19)

  A time-resolved holographic interferometer specially suited for high-speed visualization of the gas flow in shock tube experiments has been developed. Holographic interferometry, which is based on the recording of two ...
• Ribosomal protein genes in the extreme thermophilic archaebacterium sulfolobus solfataricus 

  Ramírez Reyes del Campillo, Maria Celia (2018-06-18)

  Six ribosomal protein genes from the sulfur dependent extreme thermophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus were cloned and sequenced. Four of these genes code for proteins that are equivalent to ribosomal proteins ...
• Immunodiagnosis of human African sleeping sickness 

  Liu, Margaret Kim Mong (2018-06-18)

  Procyclic culture forms of Trypanosoma brucei species and antibodies to these parasites were used in developing antibody-detection and antigen-detection assays for diagnosis of African human sleeping sickness. An agglutination ...
• Prey switching by striped skunks 

  Nams, Vilis Ojars (2018-06-18)

  Generalist predators are typically considered to eat foods in proportion to their availability. I show that striped skunks, archtypal generalists, do not just eat foods as available, do not even just select for foods, but ...
• New approaches to variational principles and gauge theories in general relativity 

  Churchill, Lorne Winston (2018-06-15)

  We develop new variational techniques, acting on classes of Lagrangians with the same functional dependence but arbitrary functional form, for the derivation of general, strongly conserved quantities, supplementing the ...
