- 1,8-Naphthridine Based Receptors for Selective Monosaccharide Binding in Aqueous Media.
- Creator
- Addo-Mensah, Alfred Kwesi, Cudic, Predrag, Florida Atlantic University
- Abstract/Description
-
In this dissertation the synthesis, characterization, and binding properties of carbohydrate receptors 34-38 was described. Macrocyclic receptor 34 and macrobicyclic receptor 35 bind monosaccharides in aqueous media through combination of hydrophobic, electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions. The dissociation constants (Kd) for the complexes between 1 ,8-naphthyridine receptors 34, and 35 with a variety of neutral and negatively charged monosaccharides in aqueous media were determined...
Show moreIn this dissertation the synthesis, characterization, and binding properties of carbohydrate receptors 34-38 was described. Macrocyclic receptor 34 and macrobicyclic receptor 35 bind monosaccharides in aqueous media through combination of hydrophobic, electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions. The dissociation constants (Kd) for the complexes between 1 ,8-naphthyridine receptors 34, and 35 with a variety of neutral and negatively charged monosaccharides in aqueous media were determined by fluorimetric and UV /vis titration. The observed values are in the range from ~0.3 to >10 mM, within the Kd range reported for lectin/monosaccharide complexes. However, among monosaccharide substrates tested receptor 34 showed the strongest affinity for sialic acid (Kd = ~0 . 3 mM), a monosaccharide that plays many important roles in a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes. Macrocyclic receptor 34 recognizes not only sialic acid in solution, but also binds selectively in vitro to human cancer cell surface carbohydrate antigens containing terminal sialic acid moieties. In addition, besides their binding selectivity, receptors 34 and 35 display also the ability to discriminate between closely related monosaccharide substrates by opposite variation of the fluorescence emission intensity. Structure-binding relationship study of receptor 34 revealed that H-bonding donor/acceptor pattern and presence of positive charge on receptor's side arms are crucial for selective monosaccharide binding in aqueous media.

- 1/f structure of temporal fluctuation in rhythm performance and rhythmic coordination.
- Creator
- Rankin, Summer K., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences
- Abstract/Description
-
This dissertation investigated the nature of pulse in the tempo fluctuation of music performance and how people entrain with these performed musical rhythms. In Experiment 1, one skilled pianist performed four compositions with natural tempo fluctuation. The changes in tempo showed long-range correlation and fractal (1/f) scaling for all four performances. To determine whether the finding of 1/f structure would generalize to other pianists, musical styles, and performance practices, fractal...
Show moreThis dissertation investigated the nature of pulse in the tempo fluctuation of music performance and how people entrain with these performed musical rhythms. In Experiment 1, one skilled pianist performed four compositions with natural tempo fluctuation. The changes in tempo showed long-range correlation and fractal (1/f) scaling for all four performances. To determine whether the finding of 1/f structure would generalize to other pianists, musical styles, and performance practices, fractal analyses were conducted on a large database of piano performances in Experiment 3. Analyses revealed signicant long-range serial correlations in 96% of the performances. Analysis showed that the degree of fractal structure depended on piece, suggesting that there is something in the composition's musical structure which causes pianists' tempo fluctuations to have a similar degree of fractal structure. Thus, musical tempo fluctuations exhibit long-range correlations and fractal scaling. To examine how people entrain to these temporal fluctuations, a series of behavioral experiments were conducted where subjects were asked to tap the pulse (beat) to temporally fluctuating stimuli. The stimuli for Experiment 2 were musical performances from Experiment 1, with mechanical versions serving as controls. Subjects entrained to all stimuli at two metrical levels, and predicted the tempo fluctuations observed in Experiment 1. Fractal analyses showed that the fractal structure of the stimuli was reected in the inter-tap intervals, suggesting a possible relationship between fractal tempo scaling, pulse perception, and entrainment. Experiments 4-7 investigated the extent to which people use long-range correlation and fractal scaling to predict tempo fluctuations in fluctuating rhythmic sequences., Both natural and synthetic long-range correlations enabled prediction, as well as shuffled versions which contained no long-term fluctuations. Fractal structure of the stimuli was again in the inter-tap intervals, with persistence for the fractal stimuli, and antipersistence for the shuffled stimuli. 1/f temporal structure is suficient though not necessary for prediction of fluctuations in a stimulus with large temporal fluctuations.

Microcoding is employed only where it is a direct replacement for a needed combinatorial function and microcode formats are kept as simple as possible. Since it is anticipated that non-direct addressing will be used extensively in the eventual application of teleprocessing, special hardware is committed to this task. The result is a significant speed advantage over typical address calculating schemes. Additional circuitry is provided to allow rapid subroutine entry, exit, and parameter fetching.

The election of 1948 helped to bring about a dramatic turning point in Florida politics. Prior to this time, Florida was arbitrarily dominated by the Democratic party. This election is significant because 1948 helped give rise to the reemergence of a two-party political system in Florida. It was in 1948 that the Republicans began their long rise out of obscurity. The Dixiecrats and Progressive parties were also active in this campaign. This paper will examine the activities of each of these...

The Dixiecrats and Progressive parties were also active in this campaign. This paper will examine the activities of each of these four political parties within the state during 1948 and attempt to show how this political rebirth contributed to alter Florida politics.

Show moreShorelines exist as an interface between terrestrial and aquatic environments. The condition of a given shoreline has diverse impacts a variety of things such as water quality, spawning grounds, nearby property, and an area’s character. This thesis establishes an inventory of approximately 150 miles of saline shorelines within the greater Jupiter area, categorizes their type and use, and documents changes from 1953 to 2016. Information was compiled in ArcGIS and Microsoft Excel from a variety of sources including modern and historical aerial photography, zoning maps, water quality reports, and ground-truthing. The largest category of shoreline type was found to be Mangrove (61.9mi, 43%) and the largest use category was Residential (79.5mi, 55%). The study area includes the Loxahatchee River and connected water bodies such as the Intracoastal Waterway and Jupiter Sound from Donald Ross Road to the northern reaches of the Loxahatchee’s North Fork.

This involved restoring the natural water flows to wildlife refuges, Everglades National Park, and other wetland areas. New legislation controlling the water supply, water quality, and the wetlands was passed. The Save Our Everglades program proposed to restore the Everglades (the Kissimmee River Basin, Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades) to look and function more as it did in 1900 than in 1983 when the program was initiated. Problems, primarily caused by increasing population and agriculture, continued to thwart restoration efforts.
