The first synthesis of the 1,3-diazabiphenylene ring system by cobalt-catalyzed cooligomerization of a novel diethynylpyrimidine and bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene is described. This diazabiphenylene is found to undergo an ...

Several acylamido boronic acids and difluoroborane analogs of amino acids, some as single enantiomers, have been synthesized and evaluated as "transition state" inhibitors of the serine proteases (alpha)-chymotrypsin ...

We determine the existence of 1-factorizations of certain tensor products of graphs. The properties of these 1-factorizations are of interest; to study them, we develop results about the automorphism group of tensor products ...

1/f resistance noise studies of the spin dynamics in two magnetic systems are described in this thesis. In chromium, 1 If noise was used as a probe to study spin density wave polarization dynamics. Measurements of the ...

Properties of 1/f noise (low frequency resistance fluctuations) are analyzed using the results of a number of experiments, several of which are unique to our laboratory. Measurements of thermally activated noise spectral ...
