Synthesis and Characterization of 4-(Trifluoromethyl)-dibenzamide-benzoguanamine and Crystallographic Characterization of a p-Triflourobenzoic Acid Complex of Terbium(III)
(Associate Students of the University of Nevada (ASUN), 10/25/2014)A molecule that coordinates with lanthanide metal ions and luminesces under UV light, 4-(trifluoromethyl)- dibenzamide-benzoguanamine (4TFMDBBG), was synthesized in 61.2% yield. When complexed with europium and terbium, ... -

Inversion of seismic reflection traveltimes using a nonlinear optimization scheme
(11/1/1993)We present the use of a nonlinear optimization scheme called generalized simulated annealing to invert seismic reflection times for velocities, reflector depths, and lengths. A finite?difference solution of the eikonal ... -

A Shallow Shear-Wave Velocity Transect across the Reno, Nevada, Area Basin
(12/1/2004)In October and November 2001, we performed an urban shear-wave velocity transect across 16 km of the Reno, Nevada, area basin. Using the refraction microtremor method of Louie (2001) we determined shear-wave velocity versus ... -

Transcriptomic analysis of the late stages of grapevine (Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon) berry ripening reveals significant induction of ethylene signaling and flavor pathways in the skin.
(12/14/2014)Background: Grapevine berry, a nonclimacteric fruit, has three developmental stages; the last one is when berry color and sugar increase. Flavors derived from terpenoid and fatty acid metabolism develop at the very end of ... -
