(2012-09-04)Department: NeuroscienceIdentification of homologous primate visual areas and common organizational strategies among visual areas are essential to determining if a basic plan for primate visual cortex and visual areas exists. In this dissertation, ...
-
(2013-04-09)Department: MathematicsGromov asked whether an asymptotic cone of a finitely generated group was always simply connected or had uncountable fundamental group. We prove that Gromov's dichotomy holds for asymptotic cones with cut points as well ...
-
(2021-08-12)Department: MathematicsIn this thesis, we construct the first examples of finitely presented groups with quadratic Dehn function which contain a finitely generated infinite torsion subgroup, answering a problem of Ol'shanskii. These examples are ...
-
(American Law and Economics Review, 2007)This article analyzes tort liability litigation costs using the Texas Department of Insurance Commercial Liability Insurance Closed Claim database for the years 1988–2004. Insurer costs to defend claims in which a suit was ...
-
(2007-12-21)Department: Electrical EngineeringAlternative dielectrics are rapidly becoming necessary for the future of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) devices, as SiO2-based technology reaches scaling limits. In this thesis, the total ionizing dose irradiation effects ...
-
(2012-12-21)Department: Electrical EngineeringKey aspects of the total-ionizing dose (TID) response of advanced complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technologies are examined. As technology scales down, stress can strongly affect radiation-induced leakage ...
-
(2017-08-29)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe icy bodies of the solar system, such as Europa and Titan, are high priority targets for exploratory spacecraft missions by NASA and the world’s space agencies. Such missions would likely involve electronic payloads ...

Total ionizing dose radiation effects and negative bias temperature instability on SiGe pMOS devices (2014-04-26)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe total ionizing dose (TID) response of HfO2-SiO2/SiGe pMOS FinFETs under different irradiation biases have been evaluated. Negative bias irradiation leads to the worst-case degradation in TID response. This is attributed ...
-
(2010-12-22)Department: Electrical EngineeringRadiation effects on Ge pMOS devices have been presented in this thesis. The irradiation and annealing responses of Ge pMOSFETs are investigated as a function of device processing. Transmission gate bias is found to be the ...
-
(Journal of Legal Education, 2020)In this article, we demonstrate that the citation counts and other author information available through the Web of Science database has made non-law citations possible to assemble and assess in a manner similar to the Sisk ...
-
(Journal of Legal Education, 2020)Almost as soon as the ink was dry on the first U.S. News & World Report (U.S. News) ranking of law schools in 1987, scholars began developing rankings to replace or complement the U.S. News rankings. Over the past several ...
-
(2024-03-21)Department: ChemistryThe roots of the central African iboga shrub (Tabernanthe iboga) induce a hallucinogenic response that has been used for centuries in the Bwiti religion in West Central Africa. The alkaloids contained in this root are ...
-
(2013-07-29)Department: Chemical and Physical BiologyThe first total synthesis of (+)-7-bromotrypargine, a β-carboline alkaloid from Ancornia sp. was completed in 9 steps, 8 steps longest linear sequence, and 40% overall yield. Biological characterization found that ...
-
(2019-06-17)Department: ChemistryI. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a cyclic, oxygenated metabolite of arachidonic acid that has been shown to play a role in the pathophysiology of many diseases including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, ...
-
(2010-09-28)Department: ChemistryThis dissertation describes advances in total synthesis, synthetic methodology, and chemical biology. The total synthesis and stereochemical revision of Ciliatamides A-C will be discussed in detail. Also, the total ...
-
(2020-05-14)Department: ChemistryAntibiotic resistance is now known for every clinically prescribed antibiotic, which means new antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action are needed. Historically natural products have served as a source of new antimicrobial ...
-
(2013-03-01)Department: ChemistryComplex secondary metabolites from diverse life forms play key roles in mediating many biological processes but the exact nature of their function is often unknown. Chemical synthesis can be utilized to access such compounds ...
-
(2022-01-18)Department: ChemistryNatural product total synthesis provides efficient access to privileged scaffolds with unique biological activities. Herein, we describe our efforts in the synthesis of three peptidic natural products: coelichelin, cochinmicin ...
-
(2016-11-08)Department: Chemical and Physical BiologyThe first total synthesis of Gombamide A, a cyclic thiopeptide from the sponge Clathria gombawuiensis, is reported. The convergent synthesis features a disulfide bond forming cascade to close the 17-membered macrocycle and ...
