"Unusual Demands of this Unusual Time": Logansport State Hospital and World War I
The Northern Indiana Hospital for the Insane (also known as Longcliff Hospital or Logansport State Hospital) struggled with a number of challenges common to state institutions, including a lack of funding, staff shortages, and stretched capacity. These problems worsened during World War I and the …

Unusual Matter Models in Cosmology
This thesis is divided into three sections. In the first section, we discuss Singular Inflation, in which a scalar field exhibits a weak singularity, originally illustrated by the non-integer powerlaw potentials. We expand the class of potentials that result in this phenomenon, by providing …

1978 : an unusual ice year in Lancaster Sound.
A simplistic theoretical model is presented and is used in an attempt to identify major variables affecting Lancaster Sound's clearing process in 1978, but some reference is made to other anomalous years (1963, 1970). The variables likely affecting Lancaster Sound's 1978 clearing date are: the …

Synthesis and Chemistry of an Unusual Bridgehead Olefin
The bridgehead olefin I was synthesized and a number of itsreactions studied. The olefin is unique in that it possesses acyclopropyl ring oriented in such a way that one edge of the ringfaces directly into the back side of the double bond.

Flight Data Processing Techniques to Identify Unusual Events
… that are present in the majority of flights, and unusual data points that can be only found in a few flights. The distinction between typical and unusual data points is achieved by using classification procedures. In this dissertation, the application of classification procedures to flight data is …

New approaches for the synthesis of unusual amino acids
The thermal and metal-catalysed aza-Claisen rearrangement of allylic trichlororacetimidates has found widespread application in the synthesis of nitrogen-containing molecules including alkaloids, antibiotics and unnatural amino acids. We have recently investigated the use of this reaction for the …

Unusual molecular architectures in liquid crystal and polymer chemistry
… of materials that consist of molecules with unusual shapes. We have pursued this goal into the regimes of both small molecules (liquid crystals) and polymeric materials. In both cases, the ultimate goal is the creation of materials that display unique properties that arise due to molecular …

Unusual suspects: identifying active serious offenders by self-selection policing
The present thesis examines the emergent and complementary investigative method known as self-selection policing. This method seeks to identify minor offences indicative of more serious criminality, whereby the serious offender volunteers him or herself for warranted police attention by dint of …

Neutron scattering investigations on the unusual phase behavior of water
… centuries of research, a coherent picture of the unusual phase behavior of water is so far lacking. The most promising theory under scrutiny relies on the hypothetical existence of a liquid-liquid phase transition and an associated liquid-liquid critical point hidden in the region of supercooled …

Fabrication Techniques for Unusual Electronic Systems: Silicon Microstructures for Photovoltaic Modules
This thesis presents the fabrication of semiconductor wires, ribbons or bars by using special etching, top down approaches, and a printed assembly of optical and electronics systems by using elastomeric stamps. I describe three related topics of my dissertation research which involve forming …

Solution structure of unusual DNA sequences by high resolution NMR spectroscopy
Unusual DNA sequences are known to adopt interesting three-dimensional structures which might have important biological roles. For my thesis, I have tried to study the influence of various degrees of perturbations of DNA backbone, sequences, pH etc. on DNA structure by a quantitative NMR procedure …

Experimental determination of the buckling for unusual geometrical shapes using paraffin
The buckling constant for neutron moderators in the shape of an elliptic cylinder, hemisphere, and"piggy-back" cylinder has been determined by experimental measurements using paraffin as a moderator. The pulsed neutron sources technique was used throughout the work; a fast neutron burst of short …

Studies of Plant Viroid RNA and Other RNA Species of Unusual Function
… of plant viroid RNA and other RNA species of unusual function. By "RNA species of unusual function" we mean RNA species which do not function as transfer, ribosomal or messenger RNA. In the studies to be reported here we have laid the experimental and theoretical foundation for investigating …

Peer support groups for unusual beliefs: a qualitative analysis of members’ experiences
Background: Typically referred to as delusions, unusual beliefs are commonly regarded as symptoms of a psychotic disorder, requiring treatment. Drawing on the Hearing Voices Network’s approach to voice-hearing, peer support groups for unusual beliefs aim at providing mutually supportive …

Novel Approaches for the Measurement of Unusual Post-Translational Modifications in Neuropeptides
Other PTMs, such as the transformation of L-amino acid residues to the D-configuration, do not result in a measurable mass change. Capillary electrophoresis combined with mass spectrometry is used to identify cells containing a D-amino acid-containing peptide found in Aplysia. These cells are then …
