On The Stabilizing Action Of Protein Denaturants: Acetonitrile Effect On Stability Of Lysozyme In Aqueous Solutions, Evgenii L. Kovrigin, Sergey A. Potekhin

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

Stability of hen lysozyme in the presence of acetonitrile (MeCN) at different pH values of the medium was studied by scanning microcalorimetry with a special emphasis on determination of reliable values of the denaturational heat capacity change. It was found that the temperature of denaturation decreases on addition of MeCN. However, the free energy extrapolation showed that below room temperature the thermodynamic stability increases at low concentrations of MeCN in spite of the general destabilizing effect at higher concentrations and temperatures. Charge-induced contribution to this stabilization was shown to be negligible (no pH-dependence was found); therefore, the most probable cause …

Polybutadiene Cross-Linked With Various Diols – Effect On Thermal Stability, Fawn Marie Uhl, Michael A. Mckinney, Charles A. Wilkie

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

The relationship between cross-linking and thermal stability as related to polybutadiene is the focus of current research. Cross-linked polybutadienes have been prepared using various diols as the cross-linking agent. Cross-linked polymers have been characterized by gel content, swelling ratios, infrared spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. These polymers are not highly cross-linked, as seen by gel content and swelling ratios, and cross-linking does not have a large effect on the onset temperature of the degradation. Nonetheless, extensive formation of a non-volatile residue occurs.

Cross-Linking Of Polystyrene By Friedel-Crafts Chemistry: Multi-Functional Additives, Hongyang Yao, Jin Zhu, Michael A. Mckinney, Charles A. Wilkie

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

Various multifunctional aromatic compounds were synthesized and tested to ascertain if they were able to cross-link polystyrene. Catalysis and inhibition at high temperature were studied to achieve control over the cross-linking temperature, in order to develop suitable formulations which may function as flame retardants.

Can An Optical Plankton Counter Produce Reasonable Estimates Of Zooplankton Abundance And Biovolume In Water With High Detritus?, X. Zhang, M. Roman, A. Sanford, H. Adolf, C. Lascara, R. Burgett

CCPO Publications

The Optical Plankton Counter (OPC) has been used in oceanic and fresh waters to estimate zooplankton abundance and biovolume. However, it is not clear whether the OPC can produce accurate estimates of zooplankton abundance and biovolume in waters with high detritus. In order to test the capability of the OPC to estimate zooplankton abundance and biovolume in Chesapeake Bay, two sets of laboratory experiments were conducted using water with high detritus concentrations collected from the upper Choptank estuary of Chesapeake Bay and laboratory cultured Artemia. Our results suggest that the OPC is able to produce accurate estimates of zooplankton biovolume …

Convergence Of Lateral Flow Along A Coastal Plain Estuary, Arnoldo Valle-Levinson, Chunyan Li, Kuo-Chuin Wong, Kamazima M. M. Lwiza

CCPO Publications

A set of velocity profiles obtained in the James River estuary with an acoustic Doppler current profiler was used in combination with the results of an analytic tidal model to depict the appearance of surface lateral flow convergences (δv/δy) during both flood and ebb stages of the tidal cycle. The bathymetry of the estuary was characterized by a main channel and a secondary channel separated by relatively narrow shoals. Lateral surface flow convergences appeared over the edges of the channels and were produced by the phase lag of the flow in the channel relative to the …

Fortnightly Variability In The Transverse Dynamics Of A Coastal Plain Estuary, Arnoldo Valle-Levinson, Kuo-Chuin Wong, Kamazima M. M. Lwiza

CCPO Publications

Current velocity and water density profiles were obtained along two crossestuary transects with the purpose of determining the fortnightly variability of the transverse dynamics in a partially stratified coastal plain estuary. The profiles were measured with a towed acoustic Doppler current profiler and a conductivity-temperaturedepth recorder in the James River estuary, Virginia. The cross-estuary transects were sampled during the spring tides of October 26-27, 1996, and the ensuing neap tides of November 2-3, 1996. The transects were-4 km long, featured a bathymetry that consisted of a channel flanked by shoals, and were sampled repeatedly during two semidiurnal tidal cycles (25 …

On The Sources Of Weddell Gyre Antarctic Bottom Water, Michael P. Meredith, Ricardo A. Locarnini, Kim A. Van Scoy, Andrew J. Watson, Karen J. Heywood, Brian A. King

CCPO Publications

In March-April 1995, as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment section A23, we completed 49 hydrographic stations across the Weddell Gyre and southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current, from the Antarctic continental shelf (72.5°S, 16.5°W) to South Georgia (55°S, 34.5°W). Chlorofiuorocarbon (CFC11, CFC-12, and CFC-113) data collected at these stations reveal that distinct sources renew the Antarctic Bottom Water (defined as waters with potential temperatures less than 0°C) of the Weddell Gyre. Weddell Sea Bottom Water (defined as waters with potential temperatures less than- 0.7°C) formed in the western Weddell Sea has CFC concentrations about 5 to 6 times higher in …

Soapbox: The Academic Research Fleet: An Exciting Time For Renewal, Larry Atkinson

CCPO Publications

(First Paragraph) Academic research ships in the United States are the envy of many scientists around the world. A great strength of our system is the diversity of ships and operators: users have a choice, the system can change. A weakness of the system is that very diversity: sometimes it is hard for us to act together. Nevertheless, we now must act together. The vitality of the academic fleet in the coming decades is at stake. The reason is simply because many of our ships, especially in the intermediate size range, will soon reach the end of their useful life.

Measurements Of Salinity In The Coastal Ocean: A Review Of Requirements And Technologies, Catherine Woody, Eddie Shih, Jerry Miller, Thomas Royer, Larry P. Atkinson, Richard S. Moody

CCPO Publications

Salinity, a measure of the dissolved salts in seawater, is a fundamental property of seawater and basic to understanding biological and physical processes in coastal waters. In the open ocean long term salinity measurements are identified as necessary to understand global climate studies, hydrological cycle, and circulation. In the coastal oceans, information on salinity is critical to understanding biological effects on ecosystem function such as disease, nursery grounds, or harmful algal blooms and on physical processes such as freshwater runoff estuarine mixing, and coastal currents. While the importance of salinity is recognized, little attention has been given to making routine …

Codeweave: Exploring Fine-Grained Mobility Of Code, Cecilia Mascolo, Gian Pietro Picco, Gruia-Catalin Roman

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

This paper explores the range of constructs and issues facing the designer of mobile code systems which allow for the unit of mobility to be finer-grained than that of execution. Mobile UNITY, a notation and proof logic for mobile computing, provides for this research a clean abstract setting, i.e., unconstrained by compilation and performance considerations traditionally associated with programming language design. Within the context of Mobile UNITY, we take the extreme view that every line of code and every variable declaration is potentially mobile, i.e., it may be duplicated and/or moved from one program contxt to another on the same …

Recognition And Verification Of Design Patterns, Michael P. Plezbert, Ron K. Cytron

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

In this paper we consider the automatic discovery of design (programming) patterns. While patterns have surfaced as an effective mechanism for authoring and understanding compelx software, popular languages lack facilities for direct specification of patterns or verification of pattern usage in program specifications. Static analysis for patterns is provably undecidable; we focus on discovery and verification of patterns by analyzing dynamic sequences of method calls on object. We show a proof-of-concept of our approach by presenting the results of analyzing a Java program for Iterator patterns.

Lime: A Middleware For Physical And Logical Mobility, Gian Pietro Picco, Amy L. Murphy, Gruia-Catalin Roman

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

LIME is a middleware supporting the development of applications that exhibit physical mobility of hosts, logical mobility of agents, or both. LIME adopts a coordination perspective inspired by work on the Linda model. The context for computation, represented in Linda by a globally accessible, persistent tuple space, is represented in LIME by transient sharing of the tuple spaces carried by each individual mobile unit. Linda tuple spaces are also extended with a notion of location and with the ability to react to a given state. The hypothesis underlying our work is that the resulting model provides a minimalist set of …

Almi: An Application Level Multicast Infrastructure, Dimitrios Pendarakis, Sherlia Shi, Dinesh Verma, Marcel Waldvogel

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

The IP multicast model allows scalable and efficient multi-party communication, particularly for groups of large size. However, deployment of IP multicast requires substantial infrastructure modifications and is hampered by a host of unresolved open problems such as reliability, flow and congestion control, security and access control. Motivated by these problems, we have designed and implemented ALMI, an application level group communication middleware, which does not rely on network infrastructure support and thus, allows accelerated deployment and simplified configuration at the cost of a relatively small increase in traffic load. ALMI is tailored toward support of multicast groups of relatively small …

Design Tradeoffs For Embedded Network Processors, Tilman Wolf, Mark Franklin, Edward W. Spitznagel

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Demands for flexible processing has moved general-purpose processing into the data path of networks. With the development of System-On-a-Chip technology, it is possible to put several processors with memory and I/O components on a single ASIC. We present a model of such a system with a simple performance metric and show how the number of processors and cache sizes can be optimized for a given workload. Based on a telecommunications benchmark we show the results of such an optimization and discuss how specialied hardware and appropriate scheduling can further improve system performance.

Synthesizer, A Pattern Language For Designing Digital Modular Synthesis Software, Thomas V. Judkins, Christopher D. Gill

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Synthesizer is a pattern language for designing digital synthesizers using modular synthesis in software to generate sound. Software developed according to this pattern language emulates the abilities of an analog synthesizer. Modular synthesis is one of the oldest sound synthesis techniques. It was used in the earliest analog synthesizers, like the Moog [1] and ARP [2]. These machines introduced the oscillator-filter-amplifier paradigm, where sound generated by an oscillator is passed through a series of filters and amplifers before being sent to a speaker. These first machines had physical modules through which electrical signals were passed. These modules can be emulated …

Profile-Based Routing: A New Framework For Mpls Traffic Engineering, Subhash Suri, Marcel Waldvogel, Priyank Ramesh Warkhede

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

We present a new algorithm and framework for dynamic routing of bandwidth guaranteed flows. The problem is motivated by the need to dynamically set up bandwidth guaranteed paths in carrier and ISP networks. Traditional routing algorithms such as minimum hop routing or widest path routing do not take advantage of any knowledge about the traffic distribution or ingress-egress pairs, and therefore can often lead to severe network underutilization. Our work is inspired by the recently proposed "minimum interference routing" algorithm (MIRA) of Kodialam and Lakshman, but it improves on their approach in several ways. Our main idea is to use …

Hello, World: A Simple Application For The Field Programmable Port Extender (Fpx), John Lockwood, David Lim

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

The FPX provides simple and fast mechanisms to process cells or packets. By performing all computations in FPGA hardware, cells and packets can be processing at the full line speed of the card [currently 2.4 Gbits/sec]. A sample application, called 'Hello World' has been developed that illustrates how easily an application can be implemented on the FPX. This application uses the FPGA hardware to search for a string on a particular flow and selectively replace contents of the payload. The resulting circuit operates at 119 MHz on a Xilinx XCV 1000E-FG680-7, and occupies less than 1% of the available gates …

The Design And Performance Of Meta-Programming Mechanisms For Object Request Broker Middleware, Nanbor Wang, Kirthika Parameswaran, Douglass Schmidt

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Distributed object computing (DOC) middleware shields developers from many tedious and error-prone aspects of programming distribued applications. Without proper support from the middleware, however, it can be hard to evolve distributed applications after they are deployed. Therefore, DOC middleware should support meta-programming mechanisms, such as smart proxies and interceptors, that improve the adaptability of distributed applications by allowing their behavior to be modified without drastically changing existing software. This paper presents three contributions to the study of metaprogramming mechanisms for DOC middleware. First, it illustrates, compares, and contrasts several meta-programming mechanisms from an application developer's perspective. Second, it outlines the …

The 1960 Presidential Election In Florida: Did The Space Race And The National Prestige Issue Play An Important Role?, Randy Wade Babish

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The landmark launch of Sputnik on October 4, 1957, and the subsequent perception that the United States trailed the Soviet Union, not only in space but also in missiles, plagued the Eisenhower Administration for the rest of the decade. The Democratic Party strategy for the 1960 presidential election included using the space race, the alleged missile gap, and declining American prestige abroad to illustrate the need for new leadership in the White House. Senator John F. Kennedy, the Democratic nominee, effectively raised these issues throughout the general election to support his "New Frontier" program and won by the narrowest popular …
