When Hope Grows Weary: An Arkansas Delta Town In Place And Time, Cindy Lynn Grisham

Student Theses and Dissertations

Tyronza is a small community located in the Delta region of northeast Arkansas. It served as the birthplace of the nationally known and highly contested Southern Tenant Farmers Union that drew strong local attention because of its socialist party support and its use of interracial locals. The town served as the union headquarters for a very short time before they were moved to nearby Memphis. The union created an intense emotional response among the townspeople, and though instances of brutality were hinted at over the years, no one would ever confess to the crimes. In 2001, Arkansas State University launched …

.Net High Performance Computing, Hsuan-Hsiu Ou

Student Theses and Dissertations

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been extensively applied in the High Performance Computing (HPC) community. HPC applications require additional special programming environments to improve the utilization of GPUs, for example, NVIDIA's CUDA and Khronos group's OpenCL. This thesis will introduce a preprocessor framework called HPC.NET, which is deployed on the Microsoft .NET platform to meet demands of GPU programmers while utilizing familiar languages. Multiple .NET languages are supported as well as detected loops and .NET TPL methods are converted into NVIDIA CUDA code automatically using common language processing techniques. Moreover, HPC.NET is able to scale to utilize multiple GPUs in …

Biography Of Dr. Eugene W. Smith, Arkansas State University President 1984 To 1992, Glenda Newsom

Student Theses and Dissertations

A president of a university in the state of Arkansas would benefit from researching the roots of the educational system within the state. Even though the state now has a number of universities that have evolved and are on the cutting-edge of advanced technology, Arkansas was slow in growth and development. Since Arkansas was slow to expand public education and universities have had to compete for scarce resources from the state, a university president with knowledge of the state's political system and the financial operation of the university he/she represents would be successful in expanding the institution. Dr. Eugene W. …

Characterization Of The Libs Plasma Of An Explosive Stimulant, 3-Nitrobenzoic Acid, Nathan Andrew Bullock

Student Theses and Dissertations

An organic nitro compound representative of nitro based explosives is examined using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). This technique shows promise in the field of analytical chemistry and is a candidate for the standoff detection of explosives. In this thesis we examined the formation of diatomic molecules produced in the plasma. The trends observed are discussed, including the possibility of non-LTE conditions as well as optical thickness. We discuss the various formation pathways of these molecules and temperature effects on their formation. Matrix effects are examined in the context of the measurement of excitation temperatures and implications for the real …

Using Reflective Practice To Study School Leadership, Cheryl Smith

Theses and Dissertations

The purposes of this investigation were to critically examine my principal leadership and to use reflective practice to improve my leadership practice and create positive change in the practices of teachers in the school.

Reflective practice Cycle I focused on me as an individual. Revisiting who I was conceptually opened reflection about my identity, prompting me to think differently about my leadership. My partnering with another principal consisted of reflective practice Cycle II. Our emphasis was on …

Mechanistic Insights Into Validoxylamine A 7'-Phosphate Synthesis By Vlde Using The Structure Of The Entire Product Complex, Michael C. Cavalier, Young Sun Yim, Shumpei Asamizu, David Neau, Khaled H. Almabruk, Taifo Mahmud, Yong Hwan Lee

Faculty Publications

The pseudo-glycosyltransferase VldE catalyzes non-glycosidic C-N coupling between an unsaturated cyclitol and a saturated aminocyclitol with the conservation of the stereochemical configuration of the substrates to form validoxylamine A 7′-phosphate, the biosynthetic precursor of the antibiotic validamycin A. To study the molecular basis of its mechanism, the three-dimensional structures of VldE from Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. limoneus was determined in apo form, in complex with GDP, in complex with GDP and validoxylamine A 7′-phosphate, and in complex with GDP and trehalose. The structure of VldE with the catalytic site in both an "open" and "closed" conformation is also described. With these …
