New Reaction Conditions For The Synthesis Of Wieland-Miescher Ketone, Jonathan J. Bates
New Reaction Conditions For The Synthesis Of Wieland-Miescher Ketone, Jonathan J. Bates
Presidential Scholars Theses (1990 – 2006)
Natural products chemistry is a very important field of chemistry to chemists, biochemists, and biologists. The ability to synthesize a naturally occurring chemical in the laboratory is necessary for some experiments. Often it is difficult to isolate a large quantity of a compound from its natural source when needed for certain experiments. Established procedures for artificial synthesis of this compound can produce higher yields. Sometimes, the function of a natural product is tested by observing the behavior of analogues in the same biological system. The differences in behavior can be related to differences in structure . Since such analogues are …
Introduction To Fractal Geometry: Definition, Concept, And Applications, Mary Bond
Introduction To Fractal Geometry: Definition, Concept, And Applications, Mary Bond
Presidential Scholars Theses (1990 – 2006)
It has become evident that fractals are not to be tied down to one compact, Webster-style, paragraph definition. The foremost qualities of fractals include self-similarity and dimensionality. One cannot help but appreciate the aesthetic beauty of computer generated fractal art. Beyond these characteristics, when trying to grasp the idea of fractal geometry, it is helpful to learn about its many applications. Fractal geometry is opening new doors for study and understanding in diverse areas such as science, art, and music. All of these facets of fractal geometry unite to provide an intriguing, and alluring, wardrobe for mathematics to wear, so …
