I. Incorporation Of Functionality At The Β-Position For The Zinc-Mediated Chain Extension Reaction Ii. Formal Synthesis Of Heliotridane And Pseudoheliotridane Through A Zinc-Mediated Chain Extension Approach, Nicholas Alexander Arnista
I. Incorporation Of Functionality At The Β-Position For The Zinc-Mediated Chain Extension Reaction Ii. Formal Synthesis Of Heliotridane And Pseudoheliotridane Through A Zinc-Mediated Chain Extension Approach, Nicholas Alexander Arnista
Doctoral Dissertations
The zinc-mediated chain extension reaction has been previously developed to incorporate alkyl or aryl substituents at the β position of the chain-extended product. The incorporation of heteroatom functionality at the β position of the chain-extended product was demonstrated through the use of a functionalized zinc carbenoid species. Silyl ether-functionalized geminal diiodides were used in the chain extension reaction with low to modest yields. Optimization of the chain extension reaction was performed by modification of solvent, reaction temperature, reaction time, and addition of diiodide. The chain extension reaction was performed on several different substrates, such as β-keto esters, β-keto amides, and …
Climatic And Biotic Interactions In Terrestrial Systems During Ancient Warm Periods, Sarah Johnson Widlansky
Climatic And Biotic Interactions In Terrestrial Systems During Ancient Warm Periods, Sarah Johnson Widlansky
Doctoral Dissertations
This work focuses on two terrestrial sedimentary records in the western United States that record the ancient greenhouse interval of the early Paleogene (~ 55 million years ago). The Paleogene, and past warm periods in general, offer a means of understanding potential biotic and environmental response to future warming scenarios. Part One of this dissertation establishes a new stable isotope climate record from the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming that is tied to an extensive fossil mammal assemblage (Chapter 1). This new stable isotope record captures carbon isotope excursions (CIEs) associated with the early Eocene hyperthermals ETM2, H2, and potentially I1 …
Efficient Data-Driven Robust Policies For Reinforcement Learning, Bahram Behzadian
Efficient Data-Driven Robust Policies For Reinforcement Learning, Bahram Behzadian
Doctoral Dissertations
Applying the reinforcement learning methodology to domains that involve risky decisions like medicine or robotics requires high confidence in the performance of a policy before its deployment. Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) have served as a well-established model in reinforcement learning (RL). An MDP model assumes that the exact transitional probabilities and rewards are available. However, in most cases, these parameters are unknown and are typically estimated from data, which are inherently prone to errors. Consequently, due to such statistical errors, the resulting computed policy's actual performance is often different from the designer's expectation. In this context, practitioners can either be …
Recombination Drives Genomic Divergence And Cooperation Across Bacterial Populations, Isaiah Paolo Atienza Lee
Recombination Drives Genomic Divergence And Cooperation Across Bacterial Populations, Isaiah Paolo Atienza Lee
Doctoral Dissertations
Genetic recombination is a major driving evolutionary force across the Tree of Life, but it plays a special role in bacteria. In the absence of sexual reproduction, bacteria rely on horizontal transmission to recombine their genetic material. Horizontally transferred genes can spread rapidly across a population, greatly expanding the niches available to bacteria. We are only beginning to understand the degree to which recombination varies between and even within bacterial taxa. In the first part of this dissertation (Chapter 1 and Chapter 2), I investigate how patterns of recombination influence bacterial diversity. In Chapter 1, I studied the pan-genome of …
Sociocultural Dimensions Of Environmental Stewardship In New Hampshire: Implications For Adult Environmental Education, Ian Patrick Hanley
Sociocultural Dimensions Of Environmental Stewardship In New Hampshire: Implications For Adult Environmental Education, Ian Patrick Hanley
Doctoral Dissertations
The overarching aim of this dissertation is to expand evidence and theory of adult identity processes in the context of environmental stewardship, as well as to provide knowledge and recommendations to environmental stewardship and environmental education professionals. The intent is to better understand variation in how adult environmental stewards report on and value their own engagement with both sociocultural and natural systems. This line of inquiry stems from the fundamental claim that environmental stewardship activity is not singularly based on environmental content knowledge but is also related to forms of cultural and social engagement. By recognizing these dual aspects of …
Socioscientific Decision-Making In Undergraduate Students: The Role Of Personal Epistemology, Jordan Dana Bader
Socioscientific Decision-Making In Undergraduate Students: The Role Of Personal Epistemology, Jordan Dana Bader
Doctoral Dissertations
Socioscientific issues (SSIs), or controversial scientific issues with social implications, influence members of society regardless of demographic. SSIs are contentious and ill-structured, meaning they do not have a definitive answer. To properly equip students with the tools needed to handle SSIs, undergraduate science curricula emphasize scientific literacy skills, such as the ability to search, recognize, and utilize accurate scientific information when handling science driven issues outside of the classroom. However, SSIs are influenced by political, social, economic, and cultural stakeholders. Therefore, students may not be basing their SSI decisions off of accurate information. An individual’s personal epistemology is known to …
Notes From The Underground: An Exploration Of Burying Beetle Thermal Ecology, Sound Production And Reception, And Brain Morphology., Michelle Ward
Notes From The Underground: An Exploration Of Burying Beetle Thermal Ecology, Sound Production And Reception, And Brain Morphology., Michelle Ward
Doctoral Dissertations
In a climatically and structurally changing world, it is important to understand how different thermal and social environments influence the behavior and physiology of the pillars of terrestrial ecosystems: insects. In this dissertation, I explored how insects, specifically Nicrophorus beetles, respond to biotic and abiotic challenges. Through this research, I addressed 1) how daily fluctuations in temperature influence Nicrophorus americanus reproductive success, 2) the context in which breeding pairs use stridulation during carcass burial, and subsequently how inhibition of stridulation influences reproductive success, 3) if the clypeal membrane on Nicrophorus beetles has the physiological properties of a tympanum, and if …
Compound, Elemental, And Isotopic Perspectives On Mercury Mobilization During Thaw In A Discontinuous Permafrost Zone, Maria F. Fahnestock
Compound, Elemental, And Isotopic Perspectives On Mercury Mobilization During Thaw In A Discontinuous Permafrost Zone, Maria F. Fahnestock
Doctoral Dissertations
Arctic ecosystems are a major global sink for both carbon (C) and mercury (Hg), both of which are influenced by anthropogenic activities. The accelerated climate-change-induced warming documented in the Arctic has led to permafrost thaw resulting in landscape evolution from hydrological, vegetation and microbial shifts. All of these resulting changes have the potential to influence how Hg, a toxic contaminant, is mobilized and re-cycled in this ecosystem. In this body of work, I investigate patterns of Hg speciation, elemental abundances, and stable isotopes across the thaw gradient in a permafrost peatland and interconnected freshwater lakes in Abisko, Sweden to assess …
Othered Ambitions: The Conflation Of Villainy And Homosexuality In 20th Century American Media, Sherard Harrington
Othered Ambitions: The Conflation Of Villainy And Homosexuality In 20th Century American Media, Sherard Harrington
Doctoral Dissertations
This work sets out to examine the ways in which homosexuality and villainy have been conflated throughout the 20th Century in American media, and the ways in which that conflation has been reinforced and challenged. My observations about the villainous connotations of homosexuality hold despite the ways in which the boundaries of homosexuality have changed throughout the century. A homosexual is anyone who experiences romantic or amorous affection for someone who presents with the same gender presentation and/or who experiences attraction aversion for those who present with the opposite gender presentation. A villain breaks the law seeking to restructure society …
Mobilization And The Power Of The English Crown During The Wars Of The Roses, Cory Daniel Szaro
Mobilization And The Power Of The English Crown During The Wars Of The Roses, Cory Daniel Szaro
Master's Theses and Capstones
Historians of the period of the Wars of the Roses have long debated about the power of the English Crown relative to that of the nobility in fifteenth-century England. These historians have often based their arguments on outdated notions of “bastard feudalism” and supported them using biased narrative sources. This study draws upon the patent rolls and close rolls produced by theroyal government to examine the different aspects of English military organization during the period from 1452 to 1477.The evidence contained within these sources demonstrates that military mobilization relied on the enduring authority of the Crown and its central administration. …

A President’S Best Friend: U.S. Presidents And Their Relationship With Ins V. Chadha (1983), John Mitchell Scacchi
Master's Theses and Capstones
The legislative veto – a device by which Congress approves or disapproves executive action on a particular matter – has been one of Congress’s favorite tools for keeping the executive branch, and all of its departments and agencies wielding increased regulatory and policymaking power, in check. Since 1983, when the Supreme Court ruled in INS v. Chadha that the legislative veto was unconstitutional, presidents have been warding off attempts by Congress to include the device in its legislation, relying principally on their signing statements to voice their objections. In doing so, presidents invoke Chadha extensively, with no other Court case …
Crystal Plasticity Modeling For Predicting Load Reversals In Dual Phase Steels And Aluminium Alloys: Applications To Predicting Springback Behavior, Sowmya Daroju
Master's Theses and Capstones
Numerical modeling of sheet metal forming is of growing interest for industry and academia. Metal forming operations often involve non-monotonic deformation paths with frequent unloading. This research explores the use of elasto-plastic self-consistent (EPSC) modeling in predicting the monotonic and load reversal deformation of aluminum alloys, and dual-phase steels. The EPSC model considers anisotropic elasticity, dislocation density-hardening, and intra granular slip system-level backstress fields in addition to accounting for inter granular stress fields; the detailed contribution of this helps in properly predicting the phenomena such as unloading non-linearity, the Bauschinger effect (BE), and changes in hardening rates during reversals. In …
Rna-Seq Analysis Of Transgenic Arabidopsis Thaliana With Conferred Overproduction Of Putrescene By A Mouse Ornithine Decarboxylase Gene, Eric English
Master's Theses and Capstones
Polyamines are a class of low molecular weight, nitrogenous bases that participate in many important functions in plants, from germination to senescence and many steps in between. These molecules have been shown to play key roles in various abiotic and biotic stress responses which makes their biosynthetic pathway a focal point for engineering plants to better adapt to rapidly changing local environments and global climate change. Previous work with plants capable of producing high polyamine titers shows that they have superior stress responses as compared to their wild type counterparts. This study investigated what broader impacts a genetic manipulations to …
Gli3 And P300: Modulating Inflammatory Cytokine Production In Monocytes, Storm Devin Gardner
Gli3 And P300: Modulating Inflammatory Cytokine Production In Monocytes, Storm Devin Gardner
Master's Theses and Capstones
GLI3 is an important protein traditionally found in the Sonic Hedgehog pathway. It is involved in numerous events that take place during embryogenesis such as the differentiation and patterning of cells in the body. Monocytes are important innate immune cells which infiltrate the site of inflammation when a pathogen invades our body. Gli3 has also been shown to be upregulated in monocytes following pathogen stimulation, suggesting Gli3 could have an important role in mediating the release of inflammatory signals known as cytokines. The histone acetylase protein p300 traditionally acetylates histones to epigenetically modify them to allow DNA unwinding and subsequently …
Plasticity Characterization By Deriving Non-Linear Displacements For In-Plane Biaxial Cruciform Testing, Jordan Michaela Hoffman
Plasticity Characterization By Deriving Non-Linear Displacements For In-Plane Biaxial Cruciform Testing, Jordan Michaela Hoffman
Master's Theses and Capstones
In-plane biaxial testing using a cruciform type specimen is a useful experimental method to characterize the elasto-plastic material behavior under non-uniaxial conditions. Different stress states can be imposed to the specimen simply by varying loading ratios along two orthogonal axes. Experiments can be performed using one experimental setup and one specimen geometry. Among different control options for loading, the displacement control in each arm is a stable and consistent option to keep the static deformation rate. However, a non-linear relationship exists between the control parameter e.g., displacement, and derived quantities, e.g., stress and strain. Therefore, it is a challenge to …
Characterization And Knockdown Of Tata-Binding Protein 1 In Toxoplasma Gondii, Malorie R. Nitz
Characterization And Knockdown Of Tata-Binding Protein 1 In Toxoplasma Gondii, Malorie R. Nitz
Master's Theses and Capstones
Toxoplasma gondii is a single celled eukaryotic parasite that causes the disease toxoplasmosis, which infects approximately thirty to fifty percent of the world’s population. Current treatments for toxoplasmosis are lacking and immunocompromised individuals are at risk of a reactivation of acute infection. Tight control of transcription initiation is critical for maintaining proper infection for the parasite. TATA-binding proteins (TBPs) are critical transcription factors for recognizing and binding to the TATA-box and other motifs in eukaryotes to recruit the transcription preinitiation complex. Toxoplasma contains two TBPs, TgTBP1 and TgTBP2, but TATA-boxes or other conserved motifs have not yet been identified in …

Pragmatics Paper: The Real Housewives Of New Jersey, Madeline Graf
Comm-entary
Reality television has brought viewers into the lives and homes of many different families across the country. While people question the ‘reality’ aspect of reality TV, the interpersonal conflict amongst families, friends, and loved ones is definitely far from scripted. Shows such as The Real Housewives franchise allow viewers to see many patterns of human communication on their screen, even if they are unaware of it. Using the theories discussed in the Pragmatics of Human Communication by Watzlawick, Beavin and Jackson, this paper analyzes the family systems and interpersonal relationships within The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Applying the concepts …
Are Humans An Invasive Species? How The Development Of Our World Has Continuously Encroached On Wildlife, Madeline Graf
Are Humans An Invasive Species? How The Development Of Our World Has Continuously Encroached On Wildlife, Madeline Graf
Comm-entary
Through the development of our society mankind has adversely impacted the species that existed long before humans did. Humans have effectively become an invasive species, taking over the homes and resources of animals across the globe. People continue to expand into new lands and territories to compensate for an ever-growing population, converting natural land into cities with homes, offices, shopping centers, and more. Through urbanization we are displacing countless species from their natural habitats or forcing them to adapt to a new environment. As our world grew, so did our economies and trade market, creating the issue of global shipping …

Seasonal Variability Of Phytoplankton Population Dynamics In Coastal New Hampshire, Molly Erickson
Seasonal Variability Of Phytoplankton Population Dynamics In Coastal New Hampshire, Molly Erickson
Master's Theses and Capstones
Phytoplankton population dynamics are significant indicators of ecosystem health and marine food web structure. Phytoplankton population dynamics are also highly variable, especially within complex coastal ocean systems. To capture temporal phytoplankton population dynamics, a weekly time series measuring temperature, salinity, tide height, chlorophyll a concentration, nutrients, and phytoplankton biodiversity was performed at two sites in New Hampshire over an annual cycle. Despite being geographically close in proximity, the coastal and estuarine locations were very different in terms of blooming periods, community composition, and ecological factors. Phytoplankton blooms occurred at least once each season on the coast, consisting of Rhizosolenia sp., …

The Relationship Between The Organization’S Aspirations For A Culture Of Diversity And Inclusion, Its Documents And Policy, And Employee Experience, Carolyn O'Driscoll
M.S. in Leadership
The purpose of this research study is to identify the relationship between an organization’s aspiration for a culture of diversity and inclusion, its documents and policy, and employee experience. Through analyzing the documents and policies of a small nonprofit organization and comparing the results of an employee survey focused on questions related to the current culture of diversity and inclusion in the organization it is the intent to identify any gaps that exist between these components. Research has shown that organizations that have a successful culture of diversity and inclusion have better outcomes, including increased employee engagement, retention, and increased …
Preventing Sexual Assault In Long-Term Care Facilities: Identifying Strategies For Facilities And State Survey Agencies, Erlon Jones
M.S. in Leadership
This project was conducting research to identify strategies and approaches to prevent the sexual assault of residents in long-term living facilities. This subject area was selected due to the increase of resident-to-resident sexual assaults in long-term care facilities, and the need for leadership in addressing this situation. Research was conducted in several areas including elder care, facility management, sexual assault advocacy. The results provide several recommendations and strategies for facilities to utilize to prevent sexual assaults, and provide State Agencies a rubric to investigate alleged sexual assaults. This will provide an important foundation to address this critical issue across the …
The Troubled Teen Industry And Its Effects: An Oral History, C. Jamie Mater
The Troubled Teen Industry And Its Effects: An Oral History, C. Jamie Mater
Inquiry Journal Spring 2022
In 2021, I received a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) to study the effects of the system I lived in from ages 13 to 16: the troubled teen industry. The troubled teen industry (TTI) consists of thousands of underregulated residential youth treatment facilities. These treatment facilities operate on a for-profit basis and trace their origins back to the 1958 cult Synanon. Many cases of abuse have been reported about these facilities, including deaths. Adolescents are sent into the TTI for anything from truancy to depression to drug addiction. My research focused on gaining first-hand insight into people’s experiences surrounding one …
Commentary: The Workplace Vaccine Decision And Its Implications For Federal Regulatory Power, John M. Greabe
Commentary: The Workplace Vaccine Decision And Its Implications For Federal Regulatory Power, John M. Greabe
Law Faculty Scholarship
[Excerpt] "In a recent commentary, I contrasted the pragmatic consequentialism of retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer – and, more generally, the other two members of the court’s liberal bloc (Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan) – with the structural formalism of the court’s six-justice conservative supermajority. I also suggested that this framework may provide a more useful way to understand many of the court’s recent and upcoming blockbuster decisions than the partisan angle that court watchers so frequently use."

Improvements in air quality and Earth's climate predictions require improvements of the aerosol speciation in chemical transport models, using observational constraints. Aerosol speciation (e.g., organic aerosols, black carbon, sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, dust or sea salt) is typically determined using in situ instrumentation. Continuous, routine aerosol composition measurements from ground-based networks are not uniformly widespread over the globe. Satellites, on the other hand, can provide a maximum coverage of the horizontal and vertical atmosphere but observe aerosol optical properties (and not aerosol speciation) based on remote sensing instrumentation. Combinations of satellite-derived aerosol optical properties can inform on air mass aerosol types …
