▼ The amidohydrolase superfamily is a functionally diverse group of enzymes
found in every organism sequenced to date. The landmark for this superfamily is the
conservation of a (beta/alpha)8-barrel structural fold. Isoaspartyl dipeptidase (IAD) from
Escherichia coli catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of beta-aspartyl dipeptides. Structural
studies of the wild-type enzyme demonstrate that the active site consists of a binuclear
metal center. Bell-shaped pH-rate profiles are observed for all four metal-substituted
forms of the wild-type enzyme and the site-directed mutants, E77Q and Y137F.
Structural analysis of IAD with the bound substrate and site-directed mutagenesis shows
the importance of the side chains of residues Glu-77, Tyr-137, Arg-169, Arg-233, Asp-
285, and Ser-289 in the substrate binding and hydrolysis. The reaction
mechanism for
the hydrolysis of dipeptides by IAD is initiated by the polarization of the amide bond via
complexation to the beta-metal and the hydrogen bond to Tyr-137. Asp-385 participates in
the activation of the bridging hydroxide for nucleophilic attack at the peptide carbon
center. The lately protonated Asp-285 donates the proton to the alpha-amino group of the
leaving group, causing the collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate and cleavage of the
carbon-nitrogen bond. N-formimino-L-glutamate iminohydrolase (HutF) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa acts in the deimination of the fourth intermediate of the
histidine degradation pathway, N-formimino-L-glutamate. An amino acid sequence
alignment between HutF and other members of the amidohydrolase superfamily
containing mononuclear metal centers suggests that the residues Glu-235, His-269, and
Asp-320 are involved in substrate binding and deimination. Site-directed mutagenesis of
Glu-235, His-269, and Asp-320, in conjunction with the analysis of the four metalsubstituted
enzyme forms and pH-rate profiles provides valuable information toward the
proposal of a
mechanism for deimination of N-formimino-L-glutamate by HutF. This
information suggests that the reaction is initiated by the activation of the hydrolytic water
through base catalysis via His-269. The enhanced nucleophile attacks the formimino
carbon center. In a concerted reaction, Asp-320 deprotonates the hydroxide nucleophile,
and His-269 donates a proton to the terminal amino of the iminium group resulting in the
collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate, the cleavage of the carbon-nitrogen bond and the
release of the products.

▼ We apply computer science techniques to try to solve a
selection of problems that arise in economics and electronic
commerce. The problems we address and our results are summarized
below. The first problem is from the field of
Mechanism Design. The
goal is to find a procedure for allocating identical items among
agents with private values in the manner that maximizes the total
utility of the agents. We approach this problem computationally:
solutions are found algorithmically rather than through
mathematical derivations. Our computational approach yields a
nearly optimal solution greatly improving prior results. In the
case with 3 agents and 2 items, we were able to find a provably
optimal solution. Next, we address a game-theoretic problem of
finding Nash Equilibria in auctions. We investigate when a
computational procedure finds an equilibrium in first and second
price auctions with discrete bids and values. The rest of the
thesis is devoted to automated decision making in electronic
commerce domains. Three domains are considered: sponsored search,
supply chain management, and simultaneous auctions. The last two
domains are studied in the context of the SCM and Travel divisions
of the Trading Agent Competition (TAC). Our contributions to
automated decision making are both practical and theoretical. On
the practical side, the bidding strategy we designed for sponsored
search auctions is currently being used by a large advertiser. Our
work on TAC Travel culminated in winning the competition in 2006.
In the TAC SCM competition, the agent we built was among the top 5
out of over 20 agents almost every year of the competition. For
theoretical contributions, we characterized optimal strategies for
bidding in simultaneous auctions when prices are known and
complemented this analysis with an empirical comparison of
different strategies. We identified that bidding decisions in TAC
SCM can be modeled as a non-linear knapsack problem and proved the
asymptotic optimality of a greedy algorithm for solving a class of
non-linear knapsack problems.

▼ Missing data is one of the major methodological problems in longitudinal studies. It not only reduces the sample size, but also can result in biased estimation and inference. It is crucial to correctly understand the missing
mechanism and appropriately incorporate it into the estimation and inference procedures. Traditional methods, such as the complete case analysis and imputation methods, are designed to deal with missing data under unverifiable assumptions of MCAR and MAR. The purpose of this dissertation is to provide an overview of procedures dealing with missing data. We especially focus on identifying and estimating attrition (missing) parameters under the non-ignorable missingness assumption using the refreshment sample in two-wave panel data. We propose a full-likelihood parametric approach which sets benchmarks for the performance of estimators in this setting. We also propose a semi-parametric method to estimate the attrition parameters by marginal density estimates with the help of two constraints from Hirano et al. (2001) and the additional information provided by the refreshment sample. We derive asymptotic properties of the semi-parametric estimators and illustrate their performance with simulations. Inference based on bootstrapping is proposed and verified through simulations. A real data application is attempted in the Netherlands Mobility Panel. Finally, we extend the semi-parametric method to incorporate a time-invariant binary covariate and evaluate its large-sample performance with simulations.

▼ Using a direct ultraviolet second-derivative spectroscopy method, three peroxynitrite preparative methods were investigated for the nitrite and nitrate present either as impurities or produced during peroxynitrite decomposition: (I) ozonation of azide, reaction of hydrogen peroxide with (II) isoamyl nitrite and (III) nitrous acid. The oxidation of morpholine by peroxynitrite in the presence and absence of added carbonate gives N-nitromorpholine and N-nitrosomorpholine. Nitration and nitrosation of morpholine are catalyzed by low levels of CO2; however, excess CO2 dramatically reduces the yields of nitrosation but not nitration, and the combined yields of the products are about the same under conditions of high and low concentrations of CO2. These data indicate that both nitration and nitrosation by peroxynitrite are free radical processes. The morpholine radical, formed from the reactions of carbonate and/or hydroxyl radicals with morpholine, reacts with either •NO or •NO2 and serves as a common precursor for both products. The peroxynitrite-mediated oxidation of α-tocopherol and γ-tocopherol dispersed in 1,2-dilauroyl-<i>sn</i>-glycero-3-phosphocholine liposomes in the presence and absence of added carbonate gives α-tocopherylquinone and 5-nitro-γ-tocopherol, respectively. The formation of the products is consistent with the current understanding of the free radical nature of oxidations of peroxynitrite and its CO2-adducts; the overall reaction involves a one-electron oxidation of α-tocopherol and γ-tocopherol by HO• or CO3•-, followed by the reaction with •NO2. When α-tocopherol and γ-tocopherol were present in the same liposome and exposed to peroxynitrite, there was preferential oxidation of α-tocopherol over γ-tocopherol. An explanation for the protection of γ-tocopherol by α-tocopherol could be that γ- and α-tocopheryl radicals, formed from the respective reactions of α-tocopherol and γ-tocopherol with HO• or CO3•-, disproportionate to give α-tocopherylquinone and regenerated γ-tocopherol. This is consistent with the lack of protection of γ-tocopherol by α-tocopherol when α-tocopherol and γ-tocopherol dispersed in different liposomes but present in the same incubation mixer are subjected to oxidation by peroxynitrite.

▼ Dynamic mechanism design is an important area of multiagent systems, and commonly used in resource allocation where the resources are time related or the agents exist dynamically. We focus on a multiagent model within which the agents stay, and the resources arrive and depart. The resources are interpreted as work or jobs and are called tasks. The allocation outcome space has a special restriction that every agent can only work on one resource at a time, because every agent has a finite computational capability in reality.
We propose a dynamic mechanism and analyze its incentive properties; we show that the mechanism is incentive compatible. Empirically, our dynamic mechanism performs well and is able to achieve high economic efficiency, even outperforming standard approaches if the agents are concerned about future tasks. We also introduce a static mechanism under the setting of a restricted outcome space; it is proved that the static mechanism is incentive compatible, and its computational complexity is much less than that of the standard VCG mechanism.

▼ La clé du succès en thérapie génique est de trouver un
bon vecteur et/ou une méthode permettant d'assurer l'efficacité de
la transfection et la sécurité du patient. Les travaux de
recherches s'orientent actuellement vers une nouvelle approche de
la thérapie génique: la sonoporation qui consiste en l'utilisation
des ultrasons pour le transfert de gènes. Cette technique a les
avantages d'une méthode peu invasive et spécifique, proposant une
libération ciblée et contrôlée du gène thérapeutique. De plus,
l'utilisation d'agents de contraste ultrasonores (microbulles)
permet d'améliorer la transfection et de combiner la thérapie et le
diagnostic. La sonoporation est une technique relativement récente.
Dans un premier temps, l'étude des mécanismes in vitro, nécessaires
au bon développement de cette méthode, a été investiguée. Ensuite,
l'importance de la formulation des microbulles a été démontrée.
Enfin, les études in vivo ont illustré le potentiel de la
sonoporation pour une éventuelle application à
l'homme.

▼ H-D exchange at the formyl residue of the natural product malonganenone B was investigated.
Models of the system were synthesised and displayed the same exchange. Kinetic studies, performed using NMR spectroscopy, found the exchange was first
order with respect to base whilst displaying acid inhibition, in opposition to existing research. Cyclic species, including an N-heterocyclic carbene precursor, were formed that, in conjunction with the previous findings, suggested a carbene-based
mechanism was in operation. Further synthetic studies were performed to demonstrate the existence of a carbene. With use of silver oxide, a fulvalene dimer and an organopalladium complex of this carbene were obtained, which provide further
support towards a carbene-based
mechanism being involved in the H-D exchange of malonganenone B.

▼ Natural products and natural product derivatives have been the leading source of pharmaceutical compounds since the initial application of modern medicine. To fight the increasing occurrence of drug resistance and to reach the ultimate goal of personalized drugs for treating complicated symptoms, novel natural products are demanded. Lanthipeptides are ribosomal peptides with post-translationally incorporated thioether crosslinks named lanthionine. This family of natural products has garnered substantial attention during the past few decades due to their favorable biological activities and the potential for engineering.
This thesis focuses on a subclass of lanthipeptides, the class II compounds, for which the synthesis of dehydroamino acids and the formation of thioether linkages are carried out by a bifunctional lanthionine synthetase. Chapter 2 presents the structural characterization of the enterococcal cytolysin, a lanthipeptide tightly linked to Enterococcus faecalis virulence. The stereoselectivity of lanthionine synthesis is discussed in chapters 3 and 4. A non-canonical configuration of lanthionines was discovered in a few lanthipeptides and the selective synthesis of the unusual stereochemistry was found to be induced by the peptide sequence rather than the lanthionine synthetase. Such a substrate-controlled stereoselectivity is rarely identified in naturally occurring enzymatic processes. Although it has been more than ten years since the first in vitro reconstitution of a class II lanthionine synthetase, no structural information was available for this class of proteins before the study presented in chapter 5 with respect to the cytolysin synthetase CylM. Unexpectedly, the CylM dehydratase domain resembles the catalytic core of lipid kinases despite the absence of notable sequence homology. Mutagenesis study of CylM provides further insights into the
mechanism of the modification process. The maturation of lanthipeptides typically requires a proteolytic step that removes the leader peptide from the modified precursor peptides. Characterization of two peptidases involved in the synthesis of lichenicidin and cytolysin, described in chapters 6 and 7, provides mechanistic insights into these subtilisin-like proteins and reveals their potential as sequence-specific proteases. In addition, structural elucidation of four prochlorosins, a set of lanthipeptides synthesized by a highly substrate-tolerant synthetase ProcM in marine bacteria, is included as chapter 8. The unveiled structural information of these lanthipeptides and the biochemical studies with respect to the biosynthetic process described in this thesis may assist the genome mining and synthetic biology efforts towards novel lanthipeptides for therapeutic purposes and other applications.

▼ Three essays comprise this dissertation, which uses
experimental methods to study economic questions. The first chapter
contributes to the understanding of people’s willingness to lend
and their borrower preferences in one-to-one on-line micro-finance
lending. The second chapter explores how the opportunity to express
emotions affects buyers' willingness to pay and sellers’ offering
prices. The third chapter examines how informal sanctions and
voting influence the effect of mild formal sanctions on voluntary
contributions to a public good.

▼ Voluntary contribution
mechanism (VCM) public good
experiments aim to analyze economic behavior of individuals in a
prisoners dilemma type setting. In the most basic set-up of the
game, a common observance is that the cooperation level, although
starting high, tends to peter out as the game progresses and
free-riding behavior increases. One explanation offered is that at
least some subjects fail to understand the best strategic response
at first, so that it takes some time for the contribution levels to
converge to the theoretical Nash equilibrium where every
subject
chooses to free-ride. However, introducing variation to the game
design such as sanctions and re-grouping, has been shown to weaken
or even reverse this trend. The first chapter introduces a
?reciprocity model? in which the subjects are allowed to gain
utility from matching their contributions to those done by other
players in their group, and tests the model against a ?learning to
free-ride? model in terms of simulation of actual behavior. It is
shown that the reciprocity approach generates lower simulation
errors in most cases, both on
subject and group level. The second
chapter looks at the effects of regrouping subjects according to
their observed contribution and punishment behavior, in a VCM with
sanctions settings. The results show that (1) behavior in the first
five periods can be used as a prediction of later actions,
especially if the regrouping is done relatively earlier, and (2)
homogeneous grouping of high contributors increase the group
earnings significantly. The last chapter tests the effects of
revealing additional information about pre-sanctions potential
monetary earnings and punishment behavior of others in the group.
Significant differences in behavior are observed as a result; and
while revealing potential earning information leads to
significantly higher earning levels in groups, revealing punishment
information does not. Each chapter is organized as a stand-alone
working paper.

▼ Numerical investigation is conducted to study the
combustion performance of Jet Stirred Reactor (JSR) by burning
mixtures of CH4 and air. Based on the detailed
mechanism of
GRI-Mech 3.0, a skeletal
mechanism of 29 species and 150 elementary
reaction steps and a reduced
mechanism of 19 species and 15 lumped
reactions are generated and computed to compare their predictive
capabilities with the detailed
mechanism. The skeletal
mechanism is
generated using the method of directed relational graph with error
propagation and sensitivity analysis (DRGEPSA) and reduced
mechanisms are generated using the method of Quasi Steady State
(QSS) assumptions. The mechanisms are validated in homogeneous
applications like perfectly stirred reactor (PSR) and
auto-ignition. These mechanisms along with a similar 19 species
ARM, a reduced
mechanism from a previous study, are implemented
into a commercial CFD package. A three dimensional modeling on a
JSR is considered. The three dimensional turbulent flow inside the
reactor is modeled using the Realizable k-e model and enhanced wall
functions are considered for near wall treatment. The equivalence
ratios of 1 and 0.5 with the inlet temperature of 600K are
considered for the boundary conditions. The dependence of
turbulence on finite rate chemistry is considered by invoking
turbulence-chemistry models. Comparing the results obtained from
the skeletal and reduced mechanisms with the detailed
mechanism it
is found that there is a good agreement in the predictions like
temperature and major species such as CH4, O2, H2O and CO2. Among
the pollutant species of CO and NO similar comparison shows that
there is good agreement of CO between the mechanisms but the same
cannot be said about NO. There is a considerable computational time
savings in using the resulting skeletal and reduced mechanisms for
the simulations, but the computational time saving achieved by the
19 species reduced
mechanism is comparable to that of the 29
species skeletal
mechanism. The time savings obtained by the
reduced
mechanism is not large as compared to the skeletal
mechanism because the time consumed to solve the QSS relations is
high.

▼ The discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells
(iPSCs) has transformed the research of stem cells and provided
infinite possibilities in regenerative medicine. In classical
Yamanaka protocol, somatic cells from various sources can be
reprogrammed to iPSCs with forced expression of Oct4, Sox2, Klf4,
and cMyc. Numerous other combinations of factors and various
delivery methods have also been developed to optimize the
efficiency and accustom to different applications. These iPSCs are
useful for disease modeling, toxicology studies and cell therapy.
However, the molecular mechanisms of this transformation remain
largely unclear. The transition from somatic cells to iPSCs
involved comprehensive changes on epigenetic level of the cells
induced by reprogramming factors. Reprogramming factor Klf4 can
physically interact with Oct4 and Sox2. These three transcription
factors co-occupy promoters of many pluripotency related genes,
such as endogenous Nanog and Oct4. The physical interactions depend
on the C2H2 zinc fingers in Klf4. Abrogation of these interactions
will lead to failure of reprogramming due to the inability of
defective complexes in activating key downstream genes. These
results suggest that direct interactions between reprogramming
factors are essential for initiating key downstream genes. During
reprogramming, nuclear architecture of the cells also experience
dramatic changes. In pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), endogenous Oct4
loci interact with distant regions in cis and in trans. Many of
these long range interactions are specific to PSCs. PSC-specific
interchromosomal interactions are established prior to
transcriptional activation of endogenous Oct4 during reprogramming.
In PSCs, Oct4-colocalized domains are enriched in active genes and
pluripotency factor binding. Transcription of Oct4 is facilitated
when the Oct4 locus is co-localized with its interchromosomal
partners. Finally, depletion or overexpression of Klf4 causes
changes in interchromosomal interactions prior to loss of Oct4
transcription and PSC differentiation, suggesting that Klf4
regulates interchromosomal interactions independent of its role as
a transcription factor. Together these results reveal two novel
essential factors in facilitating reprogramming: physical
interactions between reprogramming factors and nuclear architecture
dynamics.

▼ African countries form almost one-third of the membership of the World Trade Organization (WTO) yet their participation in the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) is quite alarming. Only South Africa and Egypt have ever instituted a case at the DSB. Other African countries have never instituted cases at the DSB and neither have they joined other cases at the DSB as third parties. Is it a case of African countries having no trade disputes to refer to the DSB? The failure by African countries to utilize the WTO dispute settlement mechanism is triggered by factors such as the cost of referring a dispute to the DSB, the inadequacy of the SDT provisions under the DSU, the inadequacy of retaliatory provisions under the DSU and the DSU’s lack of a development agenda towards African countries among other factors. The Doha round of negotiations which begun in 2001 has provided a platform for African countries and other WTO members to amend the DSU with an aim of encouraging the participation of African countries in the WTO DSB.
The objective of the paper is to determine whether African countries have an alternative dispute resolution mechanism to the WTO DSB, whether African countries face difficulties in utilizing the DSB and what those difficulties are and whether the DSU is out of touch with African countries and as such African countries tend to shy away from solving their disputes through the DSB.
Understanding the WTO DSU provisions, procedures and its dispute resolution mechanism, its applicability and use by African countries will be the main issue for consideration in this research. The research will concentrate on how African countries have participated in, and utilized the DSU. The focus will be mainly on the challenges encountered by African countries in their quest to settle trade disputes using the DSU, the constraints to their participation, and how the same can be reformed to improve their participation.

▼ The biological activity of azasugars has largely been attributed to their ability to mimic
the oxocarbenium ion-like transition state formed during reactions with carbohydrate-processing
enzymes and, for this reason, functional and stereochemical modifications
of the azasugar scaffold have led to the development of specific and potent glycosidase
inhibitors. Given the potential of azasugars as glycosidase inhibitors, we were interested
in developing efficient methodology for their synthesis.
This thesis highlights synthetic methodology developed to produce amino-imino-hexitols
as azasugar scaffolds. Key in the synthesis of the amino-imino-hexitols
was the application of a stereoselective Strecker reaction, without the need for chiral
Lewis acids or catalysts, and an extension of an I2-mediated carbamate annulation to
cyclise functionalised and protected alkenylamines. Sixteen amino-imino-hexitols were
synthesized, including ten previously undisclosed substrates with the D-galacto, D-talo,
and L-altro configurations. The novel amino-imino-hexitols were then tested for their
ability to act as glycosidase inhibitors and substrates of the D-talo configuration showed
promising inhibitory effects.
Mechanistic considerations of the I2-mediated carbamate annulation are discussed and
although the exact annulation
mechanism has yet to be determined, experimental studies
have revealed that an aziridine is not an intermediate in the reaction. Factors influencing
the diastereoselectivity of the carbamate annulation are also explored. Furthermore, an
in depth analysis of the high cis-selectivity of the carbamate annulation is investigated
using density functional theory to calculate the transition states of iodocyclisations
en route to the formation of carbamates. Taken as a whole, the applicability of the
carbamate annulation to a variety of alkenylamines and an understanding of the factors
controlling the diastereoselectivity of the reaction should make this methodology a
valuable addition to the synthetic chemist’s toolbox.

▼ This thesis addresses problems in the area of
mechanism design. In many settings in winch collective decisions are made, individuals' actual preferences are not publicly observable. As a result, individuals should be relied on to reveal this information. We are interested in an important application of
mechanism design, which is the construction of desirable procedures for deciding upon resource allocation or task assignment. We make two main contributions. First, we propose a new
mechanism for allocating a divisible commodity between a number of buyers efficiently and fairly. Buyers are assumed to behave as price-anticipators rather than as price-takers. The proposed
mechanism is as parsimonious as possible, in the sense that it requires participants to report a one-dimensional message (scalar strategy) instead of an entire utility function, as required by Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanisms. We show that this
mechanism yields efficient allocations in Nash equilibria and moreover, that these equilibria are envy-free. Additionally, we present distinct results that this
mechanism is the only simple scalar strategy
mechanism that both implements efficient Nash equilibria and satisfies the no envy axiom of fairness. The
mechanism's Nash equilibria are proven to satisfy the fairness properties of both Ranking and Voluntary Participation. Our second contribution is to develop optimal VCG mechanisms in order to assign identical economic "bads" (for example, costly tasks) to agents. An optimal VCG
mechanism minimizes the largest ratio of budget imbalance to efficient surplus over all cost profiles. The optimal non-deficit VCG
mechanism achieves asymptotic budget balance, yet the non-deficit requirement is incompatible with reasonable welfare bounds. If we omit the non-deficit requirement, individual rationality greatly changes the behavior of surplus loss and deficit loss. Allowing a slight deficit, the optimal individually rational VCG
mechanism becomes asymptotically budget balanced. Such a phenomenon cannot be found in the case of assigning economic "goods."

▼ The removal of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from exhaust and flue gases is a demanding technical problem particularly in the presence of excess oxygen. The reduction of nitrogen oxides by hydrocarbons (HC-SCR) is a promising but also challenging method to utilize in applications, where fuels like diesel oil or natural gas might be used as a reductant. In this work new high activity HC-SCR catalysts were developed based on metal oxides (cobalt, indium, gallium) supported on sol-gel aluminum oxide or ZSM-5 zeolite. The interaction of indium and cobalt with aluminum oxide was studied by the catalysts prepared by impregnation, sol-gel, ion exchange and mechanical mixing methods. The active compounds were Co2+ on Co/Al2O3, In2O3 on In/Al2O3 and intrazeolitic InO+ on In/ZSM-5. A significant promotion in NOx conversions was reached by mechanically mixing a small amount (5%) of Mn3O4 with In/Al2O3 or Ga/Al2O3 in propene-SCR and Mn3O4 or Pt/Al2O3 with In/ZSM-5 in methane-SCR. Gaseous or mobile surface intermediates are necessary to explain the observed promotion. Pt/alumina and Mn3O4 seemed themselves to catalyze the N2 formation step in addition to promotion on HC and NO oxidation. Surface intermediates were detected by in situ FTIR in the presence of flowing reaction gas mixtures. Before the reaction initiation the catalyst surface was usually covered with the inhibiting compounds (nitrates, carbonates), which disappeared at higher reaction temperatures (300-400°C) and the amount of surface reactants remained low in HC-SCR operation window (> 300°C). The derived reaction mechanisms for SCR by light hydrocarbons (C1-C3) included six potential surface reductants (H2NCO, HNCO, NCO, NH2, NH, N) for NO. The reductants with NHi functional groups were found to be final reductants and the adsorbed NH2 (amine) was the most probable in a single surface reaction. The micro-kinetic modeling based on surface reactions was used parallel to other methods to evaluate the reaction routes and dynamics. The kinetic models for propene-SCR with Co/alumina and methane-SCR with In/ZSM-5 were based on the assumption that adsorbed H2NCO (amide) acts as the reductant for NO. The improved model for methane-SCR on In/ZSM-5 was based on a
mechanism where NO is reduced by NH2. The binary catalyst combination (In/ZSM-5+Pt/Al2O3) was modeled using two different NO reduction mechanisms assuming NH2 path on indium sites and NO decomposition to nitrogen on platinum sites. The models were able to quantitatively describe the concentrations of all observed gaseous reactants and products and as well as the defined surface coverages in propene- and methane-SCR. Finally, a generic reaction
mechanism for HC-SCR was proposed. The analysis of NO-H2 reactions in transient conditions on Pt, Pt-Rh and Rh three-way catalysts was used as a tool to categorize the NOx reduction mechanisms. The NOx reduction studies resulted in four mechanisms to form nitrogen: 1) N route, 2) N2O route, 3) ONNO route and 4) NHi route. In fact, nitrogen formation on three-way and HC-SCR…

▼ A variety of biological and organic reaction mechanisms are studied using
powerful tools from experimental and theoretical chemistry. These tools include the
precise measurement of kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) and the use of theoretical
calculations to predict KIEs as well as determine factors that contribute to reaction
acceleration and selectivity.
Theoretical analysis of the Swain-Schaad relationship involves the prediction of
a large number of isotope effects and establishes the semiclassical boundaries of the
relationship. Studies on the
mechanism of oxidosqualene cyclase involve the
determination of a large number of precise KIEs simultaneously. Transition state models
for the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation have been developed that explain the
versatility, high selectivities, and ligand accelerated catalysis of the reaction. Theoretical
predictions on the proposed enzymatic
mechanism of flavin dependent amine oxidation
suggest a hydride transfer
mechanism and rules out mechanisms involving covalent
intermediates. Finally, a theoretical analysis of Diels-Alder reactions successfully
describes the unexpected exo selectivity in some of these reactions.

▼ This dissertation is about an open question of cartel ratifiable conditions. My research goal is to establish a
mechanism which is able to detect and explain cartels' activities.
My research question in the second chapter is whether or not an efficient cartel
mechanism is ratifiable in the first-price sealed-bid auction format with participation costs. R. McAfee and J. McMillan study the coordinated bidding strategies in a strong cartel, which is incentive-compatible and efficient. This chapter investigates this efficient collusive
mechanism with two important conditions (1) bidders can update their information through a cartel's prior auction and (2) they have to pay participation costs to participate in seller's auction. The concept of ratifiability, introduced by P. Cramton and T. Palfrey, is applied to explore the first-price sealedbid auction with participation costs. I discovered that the efficient cartel
mechanism, such as pre-auction knockout, would be ratified when either of the two conditions exists. However, this
mechanism is no longer ratifiable when both conditions exist. The bidder with the highest value in the cartel would have incentive to betray, since doing so sends a credible signal of high value. Hence, the other bidders will be discouraged from participating in the seller's auction and the highest-value bidder maximizes his
revenue.
In the third chapter, I studied the seller's strategy when she faces a cartel in an auction
mechanism. An active seller's optimal strategy is to raise the reserve price to a level that is higher than her own valuation. The collusive
mechanism is sustainable even though its revenue is extracted by the higher reserve price. If the seller is authorized to change the auction
mechanism, she can receive the expected payoff, prevent the formation of a ring and keep the auction efficient. Further, I presented two methods that could deter a cartel under specific conditions. One is the residual claimants method as proposed by Y. Che and J. Kim and the other is to set a positive participation cost as outlined in the first chapter. The residual claimants method can inhibit a ring in many cases, but it may have some trouble in preventing an efficient cartel
mechanism when there is only one participant in the seller's auction.
In the fourth chapter, I investigated how to achieve external efficiency in a repeated game. In particular, I looked into the allocation of the budgeted that allows an authority, such as the government, to differentiate collusive behavior and to expose agents to external threats. A threshold level of the budget payment is found in an incentive compatible collusive
mechanism for which the government can prevent an agent from participating. In a two-stage model, I showed that if the government can boost exemption or have more budget to subsidize agents, it is less likely that a ring will be formed.

▼ A new eddy-feedback
mechanism, the Selective Absorption
Mechanism (SAM), to explain the block maintenance is proposed. In this
mechanism which is based on the vortex-vortex interaction, that is, the interaction
mechanism of a blocking anticyclone and synoptic eddies with the same polarity, a blocking anticyclone actively and selectively absorbs synoptic anticyclones. The blocking anticyclone thus supplied with low potential vorticity can last for a long time against dissipation. The SAM is verified by two main analyses. The first is to examine ten real cases of blocking using trajectory analysis. Trajectories are calculated by tracing parcels originating from synoptic anticyclones and cyclones upstream of blocking. Parcels starting from anticyclones are attracted and absorbed by the blocking anticyclone, whereas parcels from cyclones are repelled by it and attracted by the blocking cyclone if it exists. The second analysis is to conduct numerical experiments using the nonlinear equivalentbarotropic potential vorticity equation with some different conditions, which are in shape and amplitude of blocking and in variabilities (displacement and strength) of stormtracks. These experiments indicate that the SAM effectively works to maintain the blocking without depending on these conditions. These results show that the SAM is the general maintenance
mechanism of blocking. Next, some possible applications of the SAM are mentioned. First, the SAM is applied to a quantitative estimation of the interaction between a blocking anticyclone and synoptic anticyclones in real situations. The effect of the forcing by the interaction between the blocking anticyclone and synoptic ones is estimated. The response to this forcing in a barotropic model well explains the pattern and amplitude of real blocking. Thus, the interaction with synoptic anticyclones plays an important role in the block maintenance. Second, the SAM is adapted to a block in summer when the activity of synoptic eddies is thought to be the minimum during a year. However, it is found that the variability of potential vorticity is climatologically the maximum in summer, which implies that the SAM can also be adopted to summer blocking. Then, a case study for the 2010 summertime blocking is performed for investigating whether the SAM actually contributes to the maintenance of this blocking. Through the trajectory analysis, an analysis of ensemble forecast data, and a barotropic model experiment, the maintenance of this summertime blocking is found to be also largely contributed by the selective absorption of synoptic anticyclones. Thus, even in summer, the SAM can be essential for the maintenance of blocking.

▼ For control of a flexible manipulator, the assumed-
mode method is applied to the mathematical model
of the model reference adaptive system. In the
assumed-mode method, the flexible, continuous manipulator
is described by a limited number of degrees of
freedom. A modified model reference adaptive system is
studied for direct application of the adaptive control
scheme to the control of a flexible manipulator. Use
of the assumed-mode method and the modified model reference
adaptive system reduce difficulties in designing
the controller of the flexible manipulator. A numerical
simulation, using the above procedure, is developed
to identify a flexible manipulator with unknown parameters
and simulation results show the satisfactory
convergence of the parameters.

▼ In this dissertation a direct approach to discrete-time
model reference adaptive control (MRAC) based on
hyperstability theory is proposed to control industrial
robotic manipulators.
For industrial robots and manipulators, which usually have
highly nonlinear and complex dynamic equations and often
have unknown inertia characteristics, it is very difficult
to achieve high performance with conventional control
strategies. This desired high performance in terms of
speed and accuracy can be obtained by adaptive control
techniques.
Considering the effects of gravity, process noise and
payload uncertainty the MRAC approach is investigated
using simulation for a three degree of freedom industrial
robot. These simulation results show that adaptive control
techniques can provide robust properties in spite of poor
a priori information regarding the robot dynamics and
operating circumstances.

▼ Hypocenter locations for over 3000 earthquakes of M≥2.0 in central Oklahoma between the years 2014 and 2015 were used to attempt to locate seismogenic faults near the city of Guthrie. Focal mechanisms from 29 earthquakes of M≥3.5 were analyzed using the Seismo-Lineament Analysis Method (SLAM). Focal
mechanism solutions for these 29 events were projected as swaths on the ground surface represented by a digital elevation model (DEM). Within each swath the surface trace of a causative fault might be found if the nodal plane is coincident with the fault, the fault is emergent at the ground surface and is approximately planar. Analysis of the DEM within each swath revealed few geomorphic lineations that might be caused by fault movement associated with the earthquakes. It is inferred from these results and field work that the faults producing these earthquakes do not intersect the ground surface.

▼ This work seeks to duplicate a realistic membrane for a more natural model of the Rb. sphaeroides bc1 complex which in past studies has lacked several details in composition of the fatty acids and relative quantities of each lipid. Past studies have shown some distortion on MD relaxation relating to a large void volume in the protein structures. In this model we have set up the membrane with the complement of lipids reported for the chromatophore membrane, and have taken steps to ameliorate the structural distortions on relaxation of the protein by populating the void with a complement of lipids. The MD model is used to determine diffusion constants and motions of the system in preparation for calculating potentials of mean force for wild type and ISP tether mutants. The current kinetic model provides a kinetic and thermodynamic understanding of the rate-limiting reaction, and associated partial processes that lead to successive turnovers. Since both bacterial and mitochondrial complexes have essentially the same catalytic core, their mechanisms are essentially similar, and a better understanding of the bacterial system can be extrapolated to the context of mitochondrial function, and medically important roles in cellular physiology, cardiovascular disease, apoptosis, and diseases associated with aging.

Mechanistic insights into the direct synthesis of H2O2 on transition metal catalysts.

▼ H2O2 is less environmentally impactful than many industrial oxidants such as Cl2. The auto-oxidation of anthraquinones is the current standard for industrial H2O2 production, however, this process requires significant energy input due to the extensive purification and concentration processes involved, making H2O2 cost-prohibitive for many oxidation processes. As a result, there is clear motivation for less expensive and energy-demanding chemistries for H2O2 production, such as the direct synthesis of H2O2 (H2 + O2 → H2O2), the most promising alternative to using anthraquinones. Unfortunately, the combustion of H2 is thermodynamically favored over direct synthesis to H2O2 on most transition metal catalysts, and so significant research has been directed towards improving catalyst selectivity towards H2O2 through various methods. Despite significant research, the
mechanism of this reaction, and the reasons for the importance of seemingly unrelated factors (e.g., metal cluster size, solvent pH, alloying), have remained unclear. The aim of this work is to provide a fundamental understanding of these factors through rigorous experimental procedures and analysis.
Here, we propose a
mechanism for H2O2 formation on Pd clusters consistent with steady-state H2O2 and H2O formation rates measured as functions of reactant pressures and temperature, and the interpretations of proton concentration effects. H2O2 forms by sequential proton-electron transfer to O2 and OOH surface intermediates, whereas, H2O forms by O-O bond rupture within OOH surface species. Direct synthesis, therefore, does not proceed by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood
mechanism often invoked. Rather, H2O2 forms by heterolytic reaction pathways resembling the two electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), however, the chemical potential of H2 replaces an external electrical potential as the thermodynamic driving force. Similar experimental procedures have shown that this proton-electron transfer
mechanism is the same also on AuPd and PdZn catalysts.
Among AuPd and PdZn catalysts, increases in the Au:Pd or Zn:Pd ratio leads to simultaneous but unequal increases in the activation enthalpies (∆H‡) for both H2O2 and H2O formation, which must result from significant electronic changes to Pd by Au or Zn. Detailed comparisons of these changes in ∆H‡ for H2O2 and H2O production to H2O2 selectivities provide compelling evidence that these electronic effects are primarily responsible for the high H2O2 selectivities commonly reported on bimetallic catalysts. Additionally, these results lack trends that suggest ensemble effects contribute significantly to the increase in H2O2 selectivity observed on bimetallic catalysts within the ranges of metal compositions tested here.
AgPt octahedra with dilute concentrations of surface Pt atoms were synthesized to test for the presence of ensemble effects which presumably do not manifest until the active sites (i.e., Pt) are sufficiently diluted with a metal which weakly binds O2 (i.e., Ag). Combining Pt with Ag increases H2O2 selectivity and…

▼ The development of alkali-metal arylsilanolates as notable organometallic reagents for the preparation of biaryls has been realized through in depth mechanistic and preparative studies. The alkali-metal salts (potassium and sodium) of a large number of arylsilanols undergo smooth cross-coupling with a wide range of aromatic bromides and chlorides. The critical feature for the success of these coupling reactions and their considerable scope is the use of bis(tri-tert-butylphosphine)palladium. Additionally, these studies have identified the use of phosphine oxides (e.g. triphenylphosphine oxide) as useful ligands for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. This serendipitous discovery was founded on kinetic experiments which revealed a significant rate enhancement employing these species as ligands for palladium. Later, these ligands were implemented in the reaction of arylsilanolates for the preparation of biaryl products.
The
mechanism of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkali-metal organosilanolates has also been investigated. Under catalysis by (t-Bu3P)2Pd, the coupling with aryl bromides displays the following rate equation: rate = kobs[R3SiOK]0[ArylBr]0, with kobs = k[(t-Bu3P)2Pd]0.98. An independent study of the individual steps of the catalytic cycle has revealed a dual mechanistic pathway. The transmetalation can occur by a thermal process via an 8-Si-4 intermediate without the need for anionic activation. Additionally, arylsilanolates can serve as activators for transmetalation via a hypervalent 10-Si-5 siliconate intermediate. The independent isolation of the putative arylpalladium(II) arylsilanolate intermediate has confirmed the generation of the Pd-O-Si linkage prior to transmetalation. The unique opportunity to isolate a pretransmetalation intermediate has allowed the transmetalation step to be further refined through a detailed Hammett analysis which has demonstrated that increased electron-density about the arylsilanolate nucleophile increases the rate of coupling. Furthermore, a number of alkenyl- and arylsilanolate pretransmetalation species have been isolated with various ligands in attempts to identify the critical features of the cross-coupling of this class of organonucleophiles.

▼ The essential components in the synthesis of
high-quality II-VI and IV-VI QDs have remained largely unchanged
for 20 years; typically employing tertiary phosphine chalcogenides
and metal salts as the reactive precursors. The reaction mechanism
responsible for monomer nucleation was investigated. Pure tertiary
phosphine selenide sources (e.g. trioctylphosphine selenide
(TOPSe)) were surprisingly found to be unreactive with metal
carboxylates and incapable of yielding QDs. Rather, small
quantities of secondary phosphines are entirely responsible for the
nucleation of QDs at low temperatures (< 200 °C); their low
concentrations account for poor synthetic conversion yields.
Also,
we have reported the synthesis and characterization of novel,
ultra-small PbSe magic-sized nanoclusters (MSCs). Unlike the
syntheses of high-quality semiconductor nanoparticles, the MSC
synthesis is straightforward, occurring at room temperature in air
over several hours. MSCs have core diameters < 2 nm and
fluoresce in the near-infrared (900 nm) with remarkable quantum
efficiencies consistently greater than 50%. The relatively slow
growth of MSCs allows for a significant scale up of reaction
volumes. Transfer to aqueous solvents has also been demonstrated,
establishing MSCs as a potential new fluorophore for applications
in biological imaging.
Ostwald ripening represents a major
contributor to semiconductor quantum dot growth under a wide range
of experimental conditions. Quantum dot concentrations and
diameters are shown to change dramatically at temperatures widely
encountered in growth and processing procedures. Further, data is
provided that supports the role of ligand in ripening and an
attempt is made to understand its chemical pathway. Finally,
kinetic data shows that PbSe QDs ripen significantly faster than
CdSe QDs. Density functional calculations agree with the
experimental results and provide insight into their origin.
A
secondary phosphine chalcogenide (DPPSe) was investigated as a
potential anion source for the production of both PbSe and CdSe
QDs. Unfortunately, reactions were found only capable of producing
MSCs, albeit with quantitative conversion yields. Observation of
reaction kinetics emphasized the importance of controlling
nucleation rates for size-control. Methodologies are presented that
effectively separate nucleation from growth; which allow for the
predictable and reproducible synthesis of specific-sized
QDs.
