This include a proposed joint experimental-theoretical approach.
Independence Polynomials Of Molecular Graphs, Cameron Taylor Byrum
Independence Polynomials Of Molecular Graphs, Cameron Taylor Byrum
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the 1980's, it was noticed by molecular chemists that the stability and boiling point of certain molecules were related to the number of independent vertex sets in the molecular graphs of those chemicals. This led to the definition of the Merrifield-Simmons index of a graph G as the number of independent vertex sets in G. This parameter was extended by graph theorists, who counted independent sets of different sizes and defined the independence polynomial F_G(x) of a graph G to be \sum_k F_k(G)x^k where for each k, F_k(G) is the number of independent sets of k vertices. This thesis …

A 233km Circumference Tunnel For E+E-, Pp{Bar}, And Mu+Mu- Colliders, George Thomas Lyons Iii
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In 2001 a cost analysis survey was conducted to build a 233km circumference tunnel in northern Illinois in which to build a Very Large Hadron Collider. Ten years later I have reexamined the proposal, taking into consideration the technological advancements in all the aspects of construction cost analysis. I would also propose that the implementation of a multipurpose collider could be introduced in light of new advancements in design parameters surrounding such collision methods. Such a collider could provide the means necessary for Chicago and more importantly America to stay relevant and competitive in the international marketplace of particle physics.

Ion Transport, Viscoelastic, And Thermal Properties Of Several Poly(Ethylene Glycol) And Poly(Propylene Glycol) Based Polymer Electrolytes, Benjamin Jacob Yancey
Ion Transport, Viscoelastic, And Thermal Properties Of Several Poly(Ethylene Glycol) And Poly(Propylene Glycol) Based Polymer Electrolytes, Benjamin Jacob Yancey
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation explores the relationship between ionic conductivity, viscosity, and thermal properties of several MePEG and MePPG based copolymer electrolytes. In particular two main copolymer modifications have been investigated namely copolymerization with "bulky groups" and cross polymerization of MePEG and MePPG monomers. The modifications were made to vary the fractional free volume of the MePEG polymers. All of the copolymers obeyed the Doolittle equation. For both the bulky copolymers and MePEG/MePPG copolymers, increases in the FFV corresponded to increases in the viscosity and decreases in FFV correspond to decreases in viscosity. The FFV and H+ conductivity for these copolymers were …
Representing Generalized Boolean Algebras In Riesz Spaces, Reed Condon Gilbow
Representing Generalized Boolean Algebras In Riesz Spaces, Reed Condon Gilbow
Honors Theses
Proof. Suppose (x^) is an increasing sequence with G B for all n G A/” which has a supremum x G B. Since A preserves order, A(x„) is increasing and A(x„) < A(x) for all n G Af. By virtue of the fact that J is cr-complete and A(x„) is bounded above, the sequence A(x,i) has a supremum K(y) for some y G: B. Claim: A(x) ^ A(^). Assume that A(x) ^ A(y). Since A(y) is the supremum of A(x„), K[y) < A(x). It also follows that x ^ y because A is injective. We claim that y is an upper bound for (xn)- If not then there exists an A G AA such that x^ Ay ^ xj^. By the injectivity of A, it follows that 29 \{xy A y) = A(xiv) A A(y) A(xjv). It follows that A(y) is not an upper bound for all A(x„) which is a contradiction of our assumption that A(y) is the supremum of A(x„). Thus y is an upper bound for (xn). It follows that x < y as x is the supremum of (xn). However, the latter implies A(x) < A(y) which contradicts our assumption that A(y) < A(x). Therefore A(x) = A(y).

Shakespeare's Soundscape: Vocal Song In The Plays Of William Shakespeare And In Early Modern Culture., Julie Marcia Dhossche
Shakespeare's Soundscape: Vocal Song In The Plays Of William Shakespeare And In Early Modern Culture., Julie Marcia Dhossche
Honors Theses
In evaluating song in early modem times we see the traveling of music through the culture, an omnipresent current that flow's through social strata and situations and can be interpreted to connect all. However, while music was pervasive in early modem society and the dominant theory of music w'as a totalizing one outlining a harmony inherent of and inspired by music, music in fact had a variety of uses among interests groups and could be a main indicator of social division. In this thesis I analyze song in Shakespeare within the frame of this seemingly paradoxical phenomenon of music as …
Chorister Formation Preferences In A Women's Choir, Janna Montgomery
Chorister Formation Preferences In A Women's Choir, Janna Montgomery
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
While conductors and audience members are not committed to a single formation, choristers have a clear preference: sectional or mixed. Why is this? Participants in this study included forty-six members of an auditioned women's choir from a large southern university who completed a survey after singing in sectional and mixed formation. These SSAA results maintain previous research findings by James Daugherty, Debra Atkinson, and Christopher Aspaas, et al. from female choristers in SATB settings: most women prefer mixed formation. All 46 of the participants (100%) perceived that formation generally affects the choral sound, so they think formation is important. Women's …
Covering Systems Of Polynomial Rings Over Finite Fields, Michael Wayne Azlin
Covering Systems Of Polynomial Rings Over Finite Fields, Michael Wayne Azlin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In 1950 Paul Erdos observed that every integer belonged to a certain system of congruences with distinct moduli. He called such systems of congruences covering systems. Utilizing his covering system, he disproved a conjecture of de Polignac asking, “for every odd k, is there a prime of the form 2n + k?” Examples of covering systems of the integers are presented along with some brief history and a sketch of the disproof by Erd?s. Open conjectures concerning covering systems and best known results of attempts to prove these conjectures are given. Analogies are drawn between the integers and Fq[x], and …

Characterization Of Intermolecular Pi-Type Interactions Using Sophisticated Quantum Mechanical, Electronic Structure Computations, Emily Joy Carrell
Characterization Of Intermolecular Pi-Type Interactions Using Sophisticated Quantum Mechanical, Electronic Structure Computations, Emily Joy Carrell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Much like the instrumentation in an experimental lab, computational chemists use computers to solve the mathematical equations that describe the physics of electrons to understand the chemistry involved. The combination of the two main components of computational chemistry, the basis set and method, determines the ``cost'' (disk, memory, and CPU time) of a computation. A variety of basis sets and methods have been developed in the past century. The focus of this report is to accurately describe non-covalent interactions with the use of various quantum computational techniques. In Chapter 1 a brief discussion on the theory behind computational chemistry is …
