New Reaction Of Neutron-Proton Conversion, Polievkt Perov
New Reaction Of Neutron-Proton Conversion, Polievkt Perov
College of Arts & Sciences Faculty Works
Using our models of composite particles as consisting just of two types of elementary basic charges, +e/3 and -e/3, we suggest that in any nuclear reaction the total numbers of basic charges of each of the two types are conserved. That means that in any nuclear reaction, the basic elementary charges present in the reactants can join in different combinations to form the products of the reaction. This is like a balanced chemical equation where the number of atoms of each element is conserved. We apply this suggested principle of conservation of basic elementary charges in any nuclear reaction to …

Algorithm For Generation Of S-Box Using Trigonometric Transformation In Genetic Algorithm Parameters, Javokhir Rustamovich Abdurazzokov
Chemical Technology, Control and Management
This article presents a fairly reliable algorithm for generating an S-box using a trigonometric function in the parameters of the genetic algorithm. S-boxes are essential components of modern cryptography and are used for permutation operations in various block cipher algorithms. The efficiency of the algorithm was demonstrated by various experimental experiments, which showed that the created S-box is sufficiently resistant to linear and differential cryptanalysis attacks. During the experimental analysis, the proposed S-box showed good results in various criteria, where the average level of nonlinearity was 105, the criterion of strict avalanche efficiency was 0.4941, the probability of linear convergence …

Scalable Preparation Of The Masked Acyl Cyanide Tbs-Mac, Haley Hinton, Jack Patterson, Jared Hume, Krunal Patel, Julie Pigza
Faculty Publications
This paper describes the three-step synthesis of TBS-MAC, a masked acyl cyanide (MAC) and a versatile one-carbon oxidation state three synthon. We have developed a scalable and detailed synthesis that involves: (1) acetylation of malononitrile to form the sodium enolate, (2) protonation of the enolate to form acetylmalononitrile, and (3) epoxidation of the enol, rearrangement to an unstable alcohol, and TBS-protection to form the title compound. Both the sodium enolate and acetylmalononitrile are bench-stable precursors to the intermediate hydroxymalononitrile, which can be converted to other MAC reagents beyond TBS by varying the protecting group (Ac, MOM, EE, etc.).
Ally Mediation Of Social Media Use For Adults With Autism, Spring S. Cullen
Ally Mediation Of Social Media Use For Adults With Autism, Spring S. Cullen
Theses and Dissertations
Previous research has highlighted the unique challenges young Autistic adults face when using social media. We extend this work by analyzing how guardians and allies, such as service providers, mediate the social media usage of young Autistic adults in order to address and mitigate online risks. Based on analysis of interview transcripts (8 young adults on the Autism spectrum, 4 parents, 10 staff members), we uncover the mediation tactics used, how they differ based on the ally's relationship with the individual, and the tactics' varying degrees of effectiveness. The findings of this research contribute to the literature by informing the …

Applied Analysis For Learning Architectures, Himanshu Singh
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Modern data science problems revolves around the Koopman operator Cφ (or Composition operator) approach, which provides the best-fit linear approximator to the dynamical system by which the dynamics can be advanced under the discretization. The solution provided by Koopman in the data driven methods is in the sense of strong operator topology, which is nothing better then the point-wise convergence of data (snapshots) in the underlying Hilbert space. Chapter 2 provides the details about the aforementioned issues with essential counter-examples. Thereafter, provable convergence guarantee phenomena is demonstrated by the Liouville weighted composition operators Af,φ over the Fock space by providing …
Influence Of Woody Vegetation Composition And Structure On Fuels And Prescribed Fire In Mountain Longleaf Restoration, Collin J. Anderson
Influence Of Woody Vegetation Composition And Structure On Fuels And Prescribed Fire In Mountain Longleaf Restoration, Collin J. Anderson
Master of Science in Integrative Biology Theses
Longleaf pine (LLP) ecosystems have experienced a widespread ecological state shift largely due to fire exclusion which has allowed mesophytes, i.e., shade-tolerant, often fire-sensitive species to encroach, reducing flammability and biodiversity through a process known as “mesophication.” Although prescribed fire is commonly used to reverse mesophication, fire behavior, and thus prescribed fire utility for this purpose, is poorly characterized in mixed pine-hardwood stands with mesophyte encroachment. This study aimed to identify mechanisms by which tree composition, structure, and fuels contribute to fire behavior, focusing on the understudied mountain longleaf pine (MLLP) ecoregion in northwest Georgia. I hypothesized that woody vegetation …
Quantum Hamilton–Jacobi Quantization And Shape Invariance, Rathi Dasgupta, Asim Gangopadhyaya
Quantum Hamilton–Jacobi Quantization And Shape Invariance, Rathi Dasgupta, Asim Gangopadhyaya
Physics: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Quantum Hamilton-Jacobi quantization scheme uses the singularity structure of the potential of a quantum mechanical system to generate its eigenspectrum and eigenfunctions, and its efficacy has been demonstrated for several well known conventional potentials. Using a recent work in supersymmetric quantum mechanics, we prove that the additive shape invariance of all conventional potentials and unbroken supersymmetry are sufficient conditions for their solvability within the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi formalism.
Development And Application Of Γ-Aa Peptide On Enzyme Mimetic And Biomolecular Agents, Meng Gu
Development And Application Of Γ-Aa Peptide On Enzyme Mimetic And Biomolecular Agents, Meng Gu
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation investigates the multifaceted utility of γ-AA peptides in various biological contexts, highlighting their capability in mimicking bioactive proteins, facilitating novel drug discovery, and obstructing protein-protein interactions. Initially, we introduced the design of an ingenious γ-AA peptide scaffold that replicates the hydrolysis capabilities of natural enzymes, with the intention to overcome their stability limitations. Notably, the designed catalyst exhibited excellent esterase activity with the coordination of Zn2+. Subsequently, optimization of a linear γ-AA peptide compound through a dimeric strategy resulted in P3-1, a potent inhibitor of amyloid-β 42. Evidenced by both in vivo and in vitro experiments, its potential …

Organizing And Communicating Health: A Culture-Centered And Necrocapitalist Inquiry Of Groundwater Contamination In Rural West Bengal, Parameswari Mukherjee
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
As a discursive point of praxis, this dissertation project seeks to record knowledge from below around the overlaps between health, water and health interventions emerging from rural communities located in North 24 Parganas and Purulia in West Bengal that are disproportionately impacted by water-insecurity. My dissertation also documents how multiple-stakeholders such as local NGOs, international NGOs, non-profits, and donor agencies organize access to safe water and health interventions for the water-insecure communities located in North 24 Parganas and Purulia. The integration of the CCA and necrocapitalism afford theoretical and methodological guidance in this dissertation to help document the localocentric stories …

The Effect Of Dairy Cow Genotype On Modelled Greenhouse Gas Emissions Derived From Pasture Based Milk Production Systems, Dan K. Lovett, L. Shalloo, P. Dillon, Frank O'Mara
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
A three-year systems comparison study was undertaken to see if progressively increasing the genetic potential for milk production of the dairy cow is desirable within pastoral based systems of spring milk production (Kennedy et al., 2002). The production data was inputted into the Moorepark Dairy System Model (MDSM) (Shalloo et al., 2004) to describe the economic, biological and production efficiency of each system. Output was then used to model whole farm greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Lovett et al., in press) from the nine systems studied (three concentrate levels by three genotype levels). Only the genotype effects are …

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The harmful or beneficial effects associated with the presence of tannin in plants depends on its concentration and form. One of these beneficial effects is the reduction of the production of methane in the rumen (Woodward et al., 2001). This study financed by FAPESP aimed to evaluat the effect of diets containing low or high tannin sorghum silage supplements on dry matter intake (DMI) and methane production in cattle.

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Hedgerow systems are widely adopted in the smallholder farms in the sloping grassland areas of Claveria, Mindanao, Philippines. The system is effective in addressing soil erosion problems and in conserving the topsoil. Gmelina arborea and Eucalyptus deglupta are two fast-growing timber species that are planted in hedgerow systems while maize is planted in the alley areas in between the hedgerows. Livestock holdings are widespread in Claveria, with 74% of the households having livestock. Cattle and carabao are the most common livestock in smallholder farms providing draught power for land preparation and transportation. In hedgerow systems, fodder tree leaves and crop …

The Effect Of Soil Type And Climate On Modelled Greenhouse Gas Emissions Derived From Pasture Based Milk Production Systems, Dan K. Lovett, L. Shalloo, P. Dillon, Frank O'Mara
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The ability of spring calving dairy farmers to exploit herbage production can be limited by soil type and climatic conditions. Previous work, using the Moorepark Dairy System Model (MDSM) (Shalloo et al., 2004) demonstrated differences in terms of biological and production efficiency for two contrasting sites. This study models whole farm greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Lovett et al., in press) from two dairy systems, the Moorepark Standard System (MSS, Co. Cork) and the Kilmaley Standard System (KSS,Co. Clare), classified as lower and high rainfall (1025 and 1614 mm yr) and free draining versus poor draining respectively.

Grasslands cover significant areas in nontropical regions, perform essential biogeochemical functions and represent important natural and agricultural resource. Nevertheless, in contrast to forests and agroecosystems, no flux measurement-based global summary of their CO2 exchange, sequestration potential, and role in mitigation of the greenhouse effect were available.
The Influence Of Local Immigration And Extinction Of Species On Spatial Heterogeneity Of Vegetation In Semi-Natural Grasslands In Japan, Taisuke Yasuda, Masae Shiyomi, T. Egawa, K. Sei, R. Ishikawa, S. Takahashi
The Influence Of Local Immigration And Extinction Of Species On Spatial Heterogeneity Of Vegetation In Semi-Natural Grasslands In Japan, Taisuke Yasuda, Masae Shiyomi, T. Egawa, K. Sei, R. Ishikawa, S. Takahashi
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Spatiotemporal variation in the local immigration and extinction of species in a community may form and change the spatial heterogeneity (SH) of vegetation but few studies have evaluated the influences of these processes on SH. SH often occurs in grassland grazed by cattle and sheep. Understanding the formation and dynamics of SH is important because SH profoundly affects local and regional ecological processes. We propose a new way to quantify the effect of the local immigration and extinction of species on SH, and try to clarify the influence of the processes on SH

Cattle Slurry Amended With Nitrification Inhibitors: Effects On Nitrous Oxide, Dinitrogen And Methane Emissions, J. P. Carneiro, L. Cardenas, D. Hatch, H. Trindade, J. Hawkins, David Scholefield, D. Chadwick
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
In recent decades, a very intensive dairy farming system has been developed in northern Portugal. Considering the appreciable amounts of slurry generated and the small farm areas for spreading, this activity involves large annual inputs of N with the risk of undesirable consequences for the environment. Emission of greenhouse gases from agricultural sources, such as N2O (originating from nitrification and denitrification) and CH4, therefore need to be reduced. The aim of this laboratory experiment was to evaluate the effectiveness of two nitrification inhibitors (dicyandiamide (DCD) and 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP)) in reducing nitrification and subsequent denitrification after …
Methane Production By Cattle Grazed At Two Stocking Rates On A Semi-Natural Grassland, Cesar S. Pinares-Patiño, Y. Rochette, M. Fabre, J.-P. Jouany, C. Martin
Methane Production By Cattle Grazed At Two Stocking Rates On A Semi-Natural Grassland, Cesar S. Pinares-Patiño, Y. Rochette, M. Fabre, J.-P. Jouany, C. Martin
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Global warming induced by the human-enhanced concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere is a major environmental concern of our day. Enteric methane (CH4) is the most important GHG associated with grazing livestock. The emissions of methane may be influenced by environmental conditions and grazing management. Stocking rate (SR), the number of animals per unit of land area, remains the simplest management tool in pastoral farming. However, little is known about the influence of SR on CH4 emission. The objective of this study was to compare the CH4 emissions from cattle managed under low and …
Carbon Accumulation Under Brachiaria Pastures In The Brazilian Cerrado In Relation To Their Productivity, R. M. Boddey, S. P. Braz, R. S. M. Dos Santos, B. J. R. Alves, S. Urquiaga
Carbon Accumulation Under Brachiaria Pastures In The Brazilian Cerrado In Relation To Their Productivity, R. M. Boddey, S. P. Braz, R. S. M. Dos Santos, B. J. R. Alves, S. Urquiaga
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Vast areas of land within Brazil has been converted from either the native vegetation of the Amazon and Atlantic forests or the native vegetation (NV) of the central savanna region (the Cerrado) to Brachiaria spp pastures. Productive pastures (PPs) in these regions eventually accumulate soil carbon (C) in excess of levels under native vegetation. However the effect of pasture degradation on soil C stocks has not been reported. We compared soil C stocks under both NV and Brachiaria pastures varying in productivity according to the indicators of Oliveira et al. (2004) over 5 sites in the Cerrado region.

Comparison Of Methodological Tools In Tropical Soil Carbon Sequestration Field Research, Bram Van Putten, M. C. Amézquita
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Models play a crucial role in studying complex systems like soil Carbon sequestration processes (Hanson et al., 2001). A Carbon sequestration research project is currently under way in pasture and silvopastoral systems of four Tropical American ecosystems. A main research question is the identification of Land Management Systems (LMS) that exhibit optimal soil Carbon sequestration capacity (identification question). Another main issue is the extrapolation of data in space and time (extrapolation question).
Effects Of Tropical Legumes With Contrasting Tannin Contents And Mixtures Of Them On In Vitro Ruminal Fermentation And Methanogenesis, H. D. Hess, F. L. Valencia, P. Avila, C. E. Lascano, Michael Kreuzer
Effects Of Tropical Legumes With Contrasting Tannin Contents And Mixtures Of Them On In Vitro Ruminal Fermentation And Methanogenesis, H. D. Hess, F. L. Valencia, P. Avila, C. E. Lascano, Michael Kreuzer
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Previous in vitro experiments have showed that the supplementation of a low-quality grass diet with Arachis pintoi or Cratylia argentea (legumes low in tannins) enhanced ruminal fermentation and methane release, whereas the supplementation with Calliandra calothyrsus (rich in tannins) decreased methane release and suppressed organic matter (OM) degradation and N turnover (Hess et al., 2003). It was hypothesised that a mixture of tanniniferous legumes with legumes free of or low in tannins would result in a methane-suppressing effect but without impairing ruminal nutrient degradation.

A Simulation Study Of Nitrous Oxide Emissions From A Fertilised, Grazed Grassland Site In Ireland, Michael J. Hawkins, J. Connolly, B. Hyde, M. Ryan, R. P. O. Schulte
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from grazed grassland are understood to be strongly influenced by the availability of a mineral N source, soil temperature and soil water content (Skiba & Smith, 2000). We derive an empirical model of emissions based on these factors and use it to simulate daily emissions from a fertilised, grazed grassland site in Wexford, Ireland, under different application schedules and climatic conditions for the period 1994 to 2001, inclusive (Table 1).
Cattle Overwintering Areas In Middle-European Conditions - Important “Point” Sources Of Nitrous Oxide Emissions, M. Šimek, J. Hynšt, P. Brůček, J. Čuhel, D. Elhottová, H. Šantrůčková, V. Kamír

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in grazed grasslands are strongly influenced by animal excreta (Fowler et al., 1997). In addition, soil compaction caused by animal traffic significantly influences soil physical conditions and thus directly or indirectly impacts on the microbial processes producing N2O. In the Czech Republic pastures are mostly located in hilly and mountain areas. During the growing season, cattle are typically grazing, while during the winter the animals are concentrated near the animal house on a relatively small plot called an "overwintering area".

Spatial and temporal variability are major difficulties when quantifying annual N2O fluxes at the field scale. New Zealand currently relies on the IPCC default methodology (National Inventory Report, 2004). This methodology is too simplistic and generalised as it ignores all site-specific controls, but is also not sufficiently flexible to allow mitigation options to be assessed. Therefore, a more robust, process-based approach is required to quantify N2O emissions more accurately at the field level. Denitrification-decomposition (DNDC) is a process-based model originally developed (Li et al., 1992) to quantify agricultural nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions across …
