Synthesis of polymeric materials derived from abundant natural feedstocks using non-toxic heavy metals by Navickaite, G

“…The conformational flexibility of the ligand was discussed in relation with varying steric demands, and the bonding environment was contrasted with related bismuth structures, which contain a +3 metal ion with a considerable size difference (<em>r</em>_Sc3+ = 0.745, <em>r</em>_Bi3+ = 1.03 Å).…”

Topochemical cation exchange reactions of Ruddlesden-Popper oxides by Conway, R

“…It was found that modulation of the Mn-site occupancy corresponds to a chequerboard ordering arrangement, which is coupled to the modulation of the equatorial oxygen ion site. MnSrNb2O7 undergoes a transition to an antiferromagnetically ordered state below TN = 39 K, in which the Mn2+ magnetic moments are orientated parallel to the z-axis in a G-type arrangement. …”

Sensorimotor control of Drosophila copulation by Herbert, MR

Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…The work described in both parts was aided by two MS software solutions I developed: one to automate the generation of targeted acquisition methods for protein phosphosites and pathways of interest, and the other to retain quantitative information from fragment ion spectra with missing values. Together, this thesis reports new connections between cell signaling and kinase inhibitor response, and offers the intriguing hypothesis that SFK signaling may be a conserved barrier for maximally effective targeted cancer therapy.…”
