The Dectability of Broad Absorption Features in Echelle Spectroscopy
(2011-09-02)In astronomical spectroscopy, echelle spectrographs are frequently used due to several benefits: the wide wavelength coverage they offer, efficient ... -
Determination of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in the Pike River
(2010-09-04)Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are synthetic and natural compounds that, when absorbed by an organism, can change the function of the endocrine system (Stuart, 2006). Researchers all over the world are studying the ... -
Distribution and Dispersal of Aquatic Invasive Species in Lakes of Kenosha County, Wisconsin
(2011-09-02)Carthage’s ISWG team (Invasive Species Working Group) has been and still is undergoing a long term monitoring program studying invasive ... -
Investigating l-C3H2 as a Carrier for Diffuse Interstellar Bands
(2011-09-02)Maier et al. has reported that the 4881 and 5450 ̊A diffuse interstellar band features may be associated with the compound C3H2 (l-C3H2) and the phase transition B1B1 ← X1A1. Here, we present evidence that l-C3H2 is in ... -
Investigation of Propellant Sloshing and Zero Gravity Equilibrium for the Orion Service Module Propellant Tanks
(2010-09-04)We study fluid slosh in the Orion Service Module propellant tanks. Resonant slosh frequencies were measured as a function of tank fill-fraction in a scaled model of the tanks. We carry out both computational and theoretical ... -
Investigation of Interactions between β‐blocker Drugs and Polymers via NMR Diffusion Experiments
(2010-09-09)NMR spectroscopy was used to study the binding of β-blockers to chiral polymers. In order to effectively separate these mixtures, the chiral interactions need to be well understood. Chiral polymers were used to study ... -
Measuring the Correlation Times of Molecules Bound to Chiral Molecular Micelles
(2010-09-09)NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the correlation times of 1,1'- binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl hydrogen phosphate (BNP) protons when bound to molecular micelles. These molecular micelles contained a dipeptide head group composed ... -
Modal evaluation of fluid volume in spacecraft propellant tanks
(2011-09-02)A novel, real-time method of determining the volume of propellant present in a spacecraft tank in reduced gravity is presented. In the experiment reported here, modal analysis techniques are applied to detect shifts in ... -
Monitoring Bat Ac-vity In Rela-on to Building Development
(2011-02-08)The purpose of our study was to monitor bat ac-vity in areas of various levels of building development, with the assump-on of more ac-vity in areas with greater developed building structure than in areas of non‐developed ... -
Nuclear-Spin Isotope Effects in Organotin Compounds
(2011-09-02)Nuclear-spin isotope effects that result in Chemically Induced Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (CIDNP) were theorized to be present in organotin compounds. An unknown substrate (1-phenyl-3-(tri-n-butylstannyl)-1-propanone) ... -
The Over expression of the RNA “Goldilocks” and its effects on the bacteria, Escherichia Coli
(2011-09-02)Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) are important molecules for translation and gene regulation in bacteria which make them key players in understanding their life cycles and pathogenesis. Furthermore they may lead to potential ... -
Probing Intermolecular Interactions in Chiral Chromatography with NMR Spectroscopy
(2010-09-09)NMR spectroscopy was used to probe the intermolecular interactions in chiral chromatography. Three chiral sypathiometric analytes were studied; ephedrine, norephedrine, and pseudoephedrine along with a chiral surfactant; ... -
The Study of the Interaction between the sRNA C.0293 and Two Proteins – Hfq and HU
(2011-09-08)Small, noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) are found in bacteria and have similar analogues in eukaryotic cells. These specific RNAs are generally involved in gene regulation during cellular stress, such as acidic environments and cell ... -
Synthesis of Enantioselective Chiral NMR Shift Reagents
(2010-09-04)Calix[4]resorcarenes are effective chiral NMR shift reagents for many types of molecules. The synthesis of calix[4]resorcarenes was begun as according to previous literature. Over the course of the experiment, many ... -
The Young’s Modulus of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
(2010-09-04)A new numerical method for calculating the Young’s modulus of carbon nanotubes which avoids ambiguities that have plagued other attempts is validated. Molecular dynamics simulations that utilize the Tersoff Potential are ...
