Enantiomeric Composition Of Nornicotine, Anatabine, And Anabasine In Tobacco, Daniel W. Armstrong, Xiande Wang, Jauh Tzuoh Lee, Yan Song Liu

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

Literature reports on the optical purity of the minor alkaloids in tobacco leaf and its products often contradict one another. The enantiomeric compositions of nornicotine, anatabine, and anabasine were measured using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) (with a chiral stationary phase) in three types of tobacco leaf (Burley, Turkish, and Virginia); three types of smokeless tobacco (loose-leaf, dry snuff, and moist snuff); and four types of cigarettes. Regardless of the tobacco type or product, anabasine always had the highest relative percentage of the minor (R)-(+)-enantiomeric component (between 40 and 46% vs. 54-60% of the (S)-(-)-enantiomer). Of the four common tobacco alkaloids, …

Measurement Of The Top Quark Mass With The Collider Detector At Fermilab, F. Abe, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We present a new measurement of the top quark mass in tt̅ events in which both W bosons from top quarks decay into leptons (eν, μν). We use events collected by the CDF experiment from pp̅ collisions at √s =1.8 TeV at the Tevatron collider. We measure a top quark mass of 167.4 ± 10.3(stat) ± 4.8(syst) GeV/c² from a sample of eight events. We combine this result with previous CDF measurements in other decay channels to obtain a final mass value of 176.0 ± 6.5 GeV/c².

Structural Domain Growth Of Strained Gadolinium On Mo(112), C. Waldfried, Peter A. Dowben, O. Zeybek, T. Bertrams, S. D. Barrett

Peter Dowben Publications

The growth mode of domains of the hexagonal lattice of strained gadolinium deposited on Mo(112) has been investigated with low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The molybdenum substrate corrugations and the expansive strain within the gadolinium films dominate the growth of the thin Gd films, which is characterized by a preferential domain growth direction of the hexagonal Gd crystal structure, unlike the more uniform, epitaxial growth of ‘unstrained’ gadolinium, grown on W(110).

Role Of Reactive Oxygen Species In Mercapto-Methylimidazole-Induced Gastric Acid Secretion And Stress-Induced Gastric Ulceration, Uday Bandyopadhyay, Dipak Das, Debasish Bandyopadhyay, Mrinalini Bhattacharjee, Ranajit K. Banerjee

School of Integrative Biological & Chemical Sciences (Formerly Dept. of Chemistry)

The objective of the present study is to delineate the role of reactive oxygen species in drug-induced gastric hyperacidity and stress-induced gastric ulceration. We reported earlier that mercaptomethylimidazole (MMI), an antithyroid drug, induces gastric acid (HCl) secretion partially through H2receptor activation of the parietal cell by histamine release and partially through an intracellular mechanism. While studying the latter, MMI-induced acid secretion was found to correlate well with the inactivation of the peroxidase, an important H2O2metabolizing enzyme of the mucosa. MMI activates the isolated parietal cell for acid secretion, which is sensitive to omeprazole. Peroxidase and catalase activity of the isolated …

Constructing Kaleidscopic Tiling Polygons In The Hyperbolic Plane, Sean A. Broughton

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

We have all seen many of the beautiful patterns obtained by tiling the hyperbolic plane H by repeated reflection in the sides of a "kaleidoscopic" polygon. Though there are such patterns on the sphere and the euclidean plane, these positively curved and fiat geometries lack the richness we see in the hyperbolic plane. Many of these patterns have been popularized by the beautiful art of M.C. Escher. For a list of references and a more complete discussion on the construction of artistic tilings see [6].

Engineering Geology And Relative Stability Of The Southern Half Of Newell Creek Canyon, Oregon City, Oregon, William J. Burns

Dissertations and Theses

This study investigates the engineering geology and relative slope stability of the southern half of Newell Creek Canyon, Oregon City, Oregon, located partially inside the urban growth boundary of Portland where there is increasing pressure for development in areas of geologically hazardous terrain.

Within the study area, features associated with landslides were mapped and categorized according to their relative age (active, inactive-young, and inactive-mature) and the depth to the failure plane (deep or shallow-seated). These features were then examined and 79 landslides were identified. Sixty-five of the slides were classified as shallow-seated or having a failure plane ≤ 4.5 meters …

Green Manufacturing Of Ammunition Through Knowledge Management With Distributed Access, Ali H. Dogru, Murat M. Tanik, Franz J. Kurfess, Marcus Healey, Leon Jololian

Computer Science and Software Engineering

This paper describes a distributed software requirements gathering methodology dealing with knowledge management for environmentally safer production and lifecycle aspects of tank ammunition. A requirements elicitation methodology is adapted and implemented as a distributed access tool on the Internet. This tool is used for gathering the requirements related information for a specific ammunition production process. During product development, requirements negotiation is the process where the customer needs are identified. This process is regarded as one of the most important parts of building a system because during this stage it is decided precisely what will be built. The concept has been …

Measuring Fractional Cover And Leaf Area Index In Arid Ecosystems: Digital Camera, Radiation Transmittance, And Laser Altimetry Methods, Michael A. White, Gregory P. Asner, Ramakrishna R. Nemani, Jeff L. Privette, Steven W. Running

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Publications

Field measurement of shrubland ecological properties is important for both site monitoring and validation of remote sensing information. During the May 1997 NASA Earth Observing System Jornada Prototype Validation Exercise, we calculated plot-level plant area index, leaf area index, total fractional cover, and green fractional cover with data from four instruments: (1) a Dycam Agricultural Digital Camera (ADC), (2) a LI-COR LAI-2000 plant canopy analyzer, (3) a Decagon sunfleck Ceptometer, and (4) a laser altimeter. Estimates from the LAI-2000 and Ceptometer were very similar (plant area index 0.3, leaf area index 0.22, total fractional cover 0.19, green fractional cover 0.14), …

A Study Of The Effects On Academic Achievement Of The Summer Orientation Program At The University Of Northern Iowa, John D. Rider

Graduate Research Papers

Most colleges and universities have some type of orientation program for new students. There are three general types of orientation programs: the semester-long course, the freshman week, and the pre-college clinic. While one purposes of these programs may be to enhance academic achievement, the literature suggests that the pre-college clinic is generally not effective in this area.

When Will I Ever Use This Stuff Anyway?, Suzanne S. Austin, Charlotte L. Berceli

Higher Education

As instructors of an intermediate-algebra course at a large urban community college, we decided to use a service-learning project to help students understand and appreciate the mathematics that they were studying. This outcome transcended the classroom and best motivated mathematics students by helping them realize how important the subject is to their futures (Jenrette 1994).

Kriging Puerto Rico Rainfall, Gary B. Hughes

Statistics

In Earth science research, climatic conditions can have significant effects on dynamic processes. For example, the growth of forests is affected by temperature, rainfall and other climatic variables. However, these climate parameters are rarely measured at the forest stands whose growth is being investigated. The climate conditions are measured at nearby weather stations, though, and it is a common approach to use the weather station data to ‘predict’ the climate at the study site
