(University of Oregon, 2014-09-29)The interaural level difference (ILD) is a sound localization cue first computed in the lateral superior olive (LSO) by comparing the loudness of sounds between the two ears. In the auditory cortex, one class of neurons ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2017-09-06)Synapses are necessary for a functional nervous system. To form a synapse, a neuron must first extend an axon, then select its proper synaptic target, and finally, a series of adhesion and adaptor molecules must work ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2014-05)Synaptogenesis is a vital process for the development of higher cognitive functions such as learning and memory. When the constructive pathways that lead to synapse formation are interrupted, severe neurological disorders ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2009-06)The primary purpose of this study is to investigate whether the use of textual Synchronous Computer Mediated Communication (SCMC) can help students improve oral language proficiency when compared with a group of students ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2024-03-25)The fitness effects of new mutations are one of the central drivers of evolutionary change. Mutation is the ultimate source of novel genetic diversity, yet only a small fraction of new mutations provides an adaptive ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2021-09-13)This work will attempt to examine the relationship between experiential and linguistic pragmatism through the lens of the twentieth-century Analytic philosopher, Wilfrid Sellars. I maintain that Sellars meta-linguistic ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2014)This paper aims to prove that H.P. Lovecraft, a celebrated twentieth-century American author of “weird fiction,” terrifies the reader not with content alone but with a particular style of language. It operates on a premise ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2007-12)Tridecameric inorganic hydroxo/aquo nanoclusters comprise a very small fraction of compounds under the large and varied umbrella of inorganic clusters. The Anderson-Evans cluster is a subset of these larger polymetallic ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2015-01-14)The method of modulated elemental reactants (MER) is used to prepare the layered compound Ti1+xSe2. Using a thin-film precursor prepared by sequentially depositing elemental titanium and selenium by physical vapor ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2016-02-23)Cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) can be considered the smallest possible fragment of an armchair carbon nanotube (CNT), yet they were envisioned as synthetic targets almost 70 years before CNTs were discovered. Having succumbed ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-03)Highly conjugated carbon-rich systems have demonstrated many attractive applications for fundamental and materials science applications, including--but not limited to--probes for aromaticity, charge-transfer complexes, ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2023-03-24)Synthesis of new materials drives technological advances, but the ability to consistently predict and synthesize a material with specific properties remains unrealized, especially for metastable materials. Using the modulated ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-09)In the research area of Group 13 hydroxide clusters, progress is often hampered by difficult and inefficient synthetic procedures. This has greatly limited the numerous potential applications of Group 13 hydroxide compounds, ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2014-09-29)Small perturbations upon the bonding of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons (PCH) lead to drastic changes of the properties. Despite being extensively studied for decades, there are numerous variants that remain unknown. ...
-
(Chemical Science, 2013-12-10)The synthesis and characterization of four fully-conjugated indacenedithiophenes (IDTs) are disclosed. In contrast to anthradithiophenes, regioselective synthesis of both syn and anti isomers is readily achieved. Thiophene ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2013-10-10)Organic electronic devices are becoming commonplace in many academic and industrial materials laboratories, and commercial application of these technologies is underway. To maximize our fundamental understanding of organic ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2013-10-03)Highly conjugated, extended heterocycles are recognized as important materials for use in electronic applications, and therefore the synthesis and characterization of new molecules of this type are necessary. One method ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022-05)This thesis describes the development of a synthetic route to create the asymmetric indenofluorene derivative indacenobenzofuranbenzothiophene (IBFBT). Synthesis and characterization of indenofluorenes and indenofluorene ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020-12-08)Self-assembly involves the self-driven incorporation of smaller components into large molecules, a process analogous to a puzzle programmed to put itself together. Nature has made use of self-assembly in biological processes ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2007-12)In recent years, nanoscience has evolved from a multidisciplinary research concept to a primary scientific frontier. Rapid technological advancements have led to the development of nanoscale device components, advanced ...
