Effect Of Phosphate On The Kinetics And Specificity Of Glycation Of Protein, Nancy G. Watkins, Carolyn I. Neglia-Fisher, Daniel G. Dyer, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes May 1987

Effect Of Phosphate On The Kinetics And Specificity Of Glycation Of Protein, Nancy G. Watkins, Carolyn I. Neglia-Fisher, Daniel G. Dyer, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes

Faculty Publications

The glycation (nonenzymatic glycosylation) of several proteins was studied in various buffiner os rder to assess the effects of buffering ions on the kinetics and specificity of glycation of protein. Incubation of RNase with glucose in phosphate buffer resulted in inactivation of the enzyme because of preferential modification of lysine residues ino r near the activsei te. In contrast, in the cationic buffers, 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid and 3-(N-tris(hydroxymethyl)rnethylamino)- 2-hydroxypropanesulfonica cid, the kineticso f glycation of RNase were decreased 2- to 3-fold, there was a decrease in glycation of active site versus peripheral lysines, and the enzyme was resistant to inactivation by …

Free Energy For Harmonically Bound Fermions In A Magnetic Field, Lipo Wang, R. F. O'Connell Mar 1987

Free Energy For Harmonically Bound Fermions In A Magnetic Field, Lipo Wang, R. F. O'Connell

Faculty Publications

An analytic expression is obtained for the free energy of fermions bound in an anisotropic harmonic potential in the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field, at a finite temperature. The specific heat and the magnetic moment are readily calculated. The results consist of two parts, a steady part and an oscillatory one. The latter is similar to the well known de Haas-van Alphen oscillation, but persists in the absence of a magnetic field. Application of the results to the nuclear shell model and surface effects of solids are briefly discussed. © 1987, IOP Publishing Ltd.

The Sharpness Of Some Cluster Set Results, D. Rung, Samih Obaid Jan 1987

The Sharpness Of Some Cluster Set Results, D. Rung, Samih Obaid

Faculty Publications

We show that a recent cluster set theorem of Rung is sharp in a certain sense. This is accomplished through the construction of an interpolating sequence whose limit set is closed, totally disconnected and porous. The results also generalize some of Dolzenko's cluster set theorems.

Spoil Banks: Effects On A Coastal Marsh Water-Level Regime, Erick M. Swenson, R. Eugene Turner Jan 1987

Spoil Banks: Effects On A Coastal Marsh Water-Level Regime, Erick M. Swenson, R. Eugene Turner

Faculty Publications

Above- and below-ground water-level fluctuations were measured in the marshes south of New Orleans, Louisiana, between November 1982 and December 1983. The purpose of the program was to defme the basic marsh water-level regime and to investigate how canal spoil banks may influence the water-level regime. Two study areas were used: (1) a control area, defined as a section of marsh with unrestricted hydrologic connection to an adjacent bayou; and, (2) a partially-impounded area, defined as an area with limited hydrologic connection to an adjacent bayou due to the presence of dredged canal spoil banks. Data sources included marsh water …

Securing Justice: A Response To William Bradford Reynolds, Michael A. Middleton Jan 1987

Securing Justice: A Response To William Bradford Reynolds, Michael A. Middleton

Faculty Publications

I doubt that William Bradford Reynolds would disagree that the self evident truths the Framers of the Declaration of Independence spoke about are as applicable today in the 1980's as they were over 200 years ago. I also doubt that Mr. Reynolds would disagree that despite the fact that black people were not considered human beings when the Constitution was framed, the fourteenth amendment to that great document was intended to bring them within the ambit of its protections. On these two basic propositions, I suspect, Mr. Reynolds and I would agree. Beyond that however, Mr. Reynolds advances a fundamentally …

Anneal Induced Changes In Amorphous Semiconductor Multilayers, David D. Allred, Jesus González-Hernández, O. V. Nguyen Jan 1987

Anneal Induced Changes In Amorphous Semiconductor Multilayers, David D. Allred, Jesus González-Hernández, O. V. Nguyen

Faculty Publications

We have prepared, heat treated and characterized various amorphous semiconductor periodic multilayers and ultrathin films. These were prepared by several vapor deposition techniques at substrate temperatures ranging from 25°C to 300°C and possessed periodicities from 22 to 400Å. Films were subjected to isochronal thermal treatments at progressively higher temperatures. Two effects were observed: enhanced diffusion and retarded crystallization. Interdiffusion, at rates which are many orders of magnitude higher than those anticipated from crystalline data, was observed in a-Si/a-Ge multilayers. Crystallization of germanium, the more readily crystallized member of the couple, is retarded; the extent depends on the thickness of the …

Liquid Crystals From Poly(4,4'-Methoxybiphenylyl Methacrylate)., R. Duran, D. Guillon, Ph Gramain, A. Skoulios Jan 1987

Liquid Crystals From Poly(4,4'-Methoxybiphenylyl Methacrylate)., R. Duran, D. Guillon, Ph Gramain, A. Skoulios

Faculty Publications

Side-chain liquid crystalline poly(4,4'-biphenylyl methacrylate) was studied by x-ray diffraction. Three smectic phases were described using a ribbon-like structural model for the polymer chain. In the smectic S//P phase, ribbons lie flat on their sides to form layers with a spacing equal to the thickness of the ribbons. In the smectic S//A phase, the ribbons stand upright giving layers with a thickness corresponding to the length of one extended monomeric unit. In the ordered smectic S//O phase, the layer thickness also corresponds to one extended repeat unit, and the pendant groups are arranged according to a two-dimensional oblique lattice. The …

Core-Excitoninduced Desorption From Mgo, Richard L. Kurtz, Roger Stockbauer, Ralf Nyholm, S. Anders Flodström, Friedmar Senf Jan 1987

Core-Excitoninduced Desorption From Mgo, Richard L. Kurtz, Roger Stockbauer, Ralf Nyholm, S. Anders Flodström, Friedmar Senf

Faculty Publications

Core-exciton-induced desorption of O and H from MgO(100) and MgO(111) has been observed using photon excitation energies spanning the O K edge. Electron-yield data from partially oxidized Mg implies that these states are localized in the near-surface region. O and H desorption results from the decay of different O core-exciton states as well as the states produced by interband transitions. The O excitonic levels are interpreted in terms of their related atomic origin. © 1987 The American Physical Society.

Maximal Subsemigroups Of Lie Groups That Are Total, Jimmie D. Lawson Jan 1987

Maximal Subsemigroups Of Lie Groups That Are Total, Jimmie D. Lawson

Faculty Publications

The major problem with which this paper is concerned is determining criteria that allow one to decide whether the subsemigroup generated by a subset B of a group G is all of G. Motivations for considering this problem arise from at least two sources. The first source concerns the program to develop a Lie theory of semigroups. Given a closed subsemigroup S of Lie group G, one defines the tangent object of S in the Lie algebra L(G) by L(S) = {xeL(G):exp(tx)∊S for all t≧0}. © 1987, Edinburgh Mathematical Society.

Some Results In Discontinuous Fields And Wave Propogation, R. Estrada, R. P. Kanwal Jan 1987

Some Results In Discontinuous Fields And Wave Propogation, R. Estrada, R. P. Kanwal

Faculty Publications

We present various applications of recently developed techniques which are an interplay between the differential geometry and the theory of distributions. We apply them to the microlocal theory, derive the general order transport equations for the strength of wave fronts, obtain the values of the jumps of the general Nth-order derivatives of the harmonic functions across the potential layers, and present the explicit formulas for an arbitrary order derivative of functions of the radial distance r. © 1987.

The Circleville Massacre: A Brutal Incident In Utah's Black Hawk War, Albert Winkler Jan 1987

The Circleville Massacre: A Brutal Incident In Utah's Black Hawk War, Albert Winkler

Faculty Publications

The Ute Indians of Utah rebelled against the white settlers of Utah, and war broke out in 1865. The Ute Indians showed skill at war, and they staged an attack on Circleville that killed four people. The white settlers became suspicious of the nearby Piute Indians and arrested them. The Indians attempted to escape and were shot down. The white settlers feared that the nearby Indians would retaliate, so they killed the women and children. Three or four small children were spared to be raised by white families.

When Are Merger Clauses Unconscionable?, Kerry L. Macintosh Jan 1987

When Are Merger Clauses Unconscionable?, Kerry L. Macintosh

Faculty Publications

Imagine the following scenario: buyer, a typical consumer wishing to obtain goods or services, visits seller. Anxious to close the deal, seller impresses buyer with oral representations and promises concerning the goods or services. Buyer, enticed into making the purchase, signs a preprinted form contract, failing either to notice or understand this deceptively harmless looking provision: "This writing is the final and entire agreement of the parties and there are no other representations, promises, warranties or agreements of any kind." Buyer later discovers that the goods or services do not live up to seller's representations and promises. Angry, buyer sues …

A Mathematical Model For The Initial Corrosion Rate Of A Porous Layer On A Rotating Disk Electrode, William E. Ryan, Ralph E. White, S. L. Kelly Jan 1987

A Mathematical Model For The Initial Corrosion Rate Of A Porous Layer On A Rotating Disk Electrode, William E. Ryan, Ralph E. White, S. L. Kelly

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model is presented for the initial corrosion rate of a porous layer on a rotating disk electrode. The model is used to predict the corrosion potential and corrosion current density for a porous electrode made of pure iron in aerated caustic solutions. The dependence of these predictions on some of the properties of the porous layer is presented. It is shown that the corrosion rate depends significantly on the specific surface area of the porous electrode.

Class Groups Of Quadratic Fields Ii, Duncan A. Buell Jan 1987

Class Groups Of Quadratic Fields Ii, Duncan A. Buell

Faculty Publications

A computation has been made of the noncyclic class groups of imaginary quadratic fields Q(√-D) for even and odd discriminants - D from 0 to - 25000000. Among the results are that 95% of the class groups are cyclic, and that -11203620 and -18397407 are the first discriminants of imaginary quadratic fields for which the class group has rank three in the 5-Sylow subgroup. The latter was known to be of rank three; this computation demonstrates that it is the first odd discriminant of 5-rank three or more.

Large Deviations For Processes With Independent Increments, James Lynch, Jayaram Sethuraman Jan 1987

Large Deviations For Processes With Independent Increments, James Lynch, Jayaram Sethuraman

Faculty Publications

Let X be a topological space and F denote the Borel σ-field in X. A family of probability measures {Pλ} is said to obey the large deviation principle (LDP) with rate function I(⋅) if Pλ(A) can be suitably approximated by exp{−λinfx∈AI(x)} for appropriate sets A in F. Here the LDP is studied for probability measures induced by stochastic processes with stationary and independent increments which have no Gaussian component. It is assumed that the moment generating function of the increments exists and thus the sample paths of such stochastic processes lie in the space of functions of bounded variation. The …

The Effect Of The Tribromide Complex Reaction On The Oxidation/Reduction Current Of The Br2/Br– Electrode, P K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White, S. E. Lorimer Jan 1987

The Effect Of The Tribromide Complex Reaction On The Oxidation/Reduction Current Of The Br2/Br– Electrode, P K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White, S. E. Lorimer

Faculty Publications

The Br2/Br– electrode reaction with tribromide complex formation reaction in the solution, a chemical-electrochemical (C-E) type reaction, has been investigated in order to determine the effect of the chemical reaction on the electrode kinetics. It is shown that the chemical reaction has little effect on the electrode kinetics at very slow homogeneous reaction rates, but has a more drastic effect on the electrode kinetics at faster homogeneous reaction rates. Also, the kinetics at the electrode are affected by changes in the concentrations of the active species (Br2, Br–, and Br3–) …

Modeling The Rotating Disk Electrode For Studying The Kinetics Of Electrochemical Reactions, P K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White, S E. Lorimer Jan 1987

Modeling The Rotating Disk Electrode For Studying The Kinetics Of Electrochemical Reactions, P K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White, S E. Lorimer

Faculty Publications

A general mathematical model for studying the kinetics of electrochemical reactions at a rotating disk electrode under steady-state potentiostatic conditions is presented. The model, apart from predicting the net and partial current densities at given values of the applied potential, the ohmic potential drop, and the concentration and potential profiles in the solution, also accounts for homogeneous reactions of any order in the solution and noncharge transfer reactions at the electrode surface. The versatility of the model is demonstrated by the application of the model to a variety of complex reaction schemes.
