α-exo-Alkylidene γ-lactones and γ-lactams via 2-alkoxycarbonyl allylboronates: mechanistic studies, diversity-oriented synthesis and target-oriented synthesis
DownloadSpring 2010
Allylboration reactions have been thoroughly utilized in organic chemistry since it was discovered that they could add in a nucleophilic fashion to aldehydes and ketones in 1964. Modification of allylboronates and the substrates that they can react with has been the focus of many research groups...

Furanose-containing molecules are widespread in nature and have been identified as important constituents of glycoconjugates from numerous pathogenic microorganisms. Although significant advances in the synthesis of 1,2-cis-glycofuranosides have been made, there are still some challenges. In...

β-catenin is O-GlcNAc modified at Serine 23: Implications for β-catenin’s Subcellular Distribution and Transcriptional Activity
DownloadFall 2012
β-catenin is a potent oncoprotein that serves as a structural anchor at the adherens junctions and as a transcriptional co-activator of the Wnt Signaling pathway. β-catenin was identified to be post-translationally modified by O-linked β-D-N-acetyl-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc). This investigation was...

β-Galactosidases and Fasciclin-like Arabinogalactan Proteins in Flax (Linum usitatissimum) Phloem Fibre Development
DownloadFall 2013
The phloem fibres of flax (Linum usitatissimum) have specialized, cellulose-rich secondary walls of the gelatinous type (G-type), which give the fibres remarkable strength. G-type walls are also found in tension wood of many trees. β-galactosidases (BGAL) and fasciclin-like arabinogalactan (FLA)...

Βeta-adrenergic receptors and opposition of evoked sympathetic vasoconstriction: Effects of sex and exercise training
DownloadFall 2016
Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system evokes the release of neurotransmitters and produces vasoconstriction that is primarily mediated by the binding of norepinephrine (NE) to alpha-adrenergic receptors. However, NE may also bind to beta (β)-adrenergic receptors and produce vasodilation...

I have created a custom keyboard for Western Plains Cree syllabics based on a symmetrically square layout. It is called the Star Chart Keyboard and currently runs on Apple iOS devices. It allows for previously difficult to access syllabics characters to be typed digitally in as few steps as...
