Ty Matson: Senior Recital, Trombone
No full textThis Senior Honors Project is entitled “Ty Matson: Senior Recital, Trombone.” The author of the project is Ty Matson. The Senior Honors Project was the preparation and performance of my senior trombone recital, with program notes to accompany the traditional program list of pieces. The trombone recital was comprised of seven pieces of varied styles, musical eras, and composers. The program notes that were distributed in addition to the program consisted of background information on the composers as well as the compositions themselves. The recital, not including intermission, lasted approximately 47 minutes

B-site vacancy as the origin of spontaneous normal-to-relaxor ferroelectric transitions in La-modified PbTiO3
No full textThe site vacancy responsible for the manifestation of a spontaneous normal-to-relaxor transition was investigated using La-modified PbTiO3 as a model perovskite system. The two cation-site defects relevant to the present study are the A-site (Pb site) and B-site (Ti site) vacancies. To clearly elucidate the type of vacancy involved in the spontaneous transition, we have developed a sintering route that suitably adjusts the relative concentration of these two distinct cation-site vacancies. Using this processing scheme, we have shown that the microcompositional inhomogeneity caused by the B-site vacancy is primarily responsible for the manifestation of relaxor behavior from normal ferroelectricity in La-modified PbTiO3.

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L interacts with the 3 ' border of the internal ribosomal entry site of hepatitis C virus
No full textTranslation initiation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA occurs by internal entry of a ribosome into the 5' nontranslated region in a cap-independent manner. The HCV RNA sequence from about nucleotide 40 pip to the N terminus of the coding sequence of the coke protein is required for efficient internal initiation of translation, though the precise border of the HCV internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) has yet to he determined. Several cellular proteins have been proposed to direct HCV IRES-dependent translation by binding to the HCV IRES. Here we report on a novel cellular protein that specifically interacts with the 3' border of the HCV IRES in the core-coding sequence. This protein with an apparent molecular mass of 68 kDa turned out to be heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L (hnRNP L). The binding of hnRNP L to the HCV IRES correlates with the translational efficiencies of corresponding mRNAs. This finding suggests that hnRNP L may play an important role in the translation of HCV mRNA through the IRES element.
Control of multiferroic phase in Tb1-x(Bi,La,Y)(x)MnO3
No full textThe effects of Bi-substitution in TbMnO3 on structural, magnetic, ferroelectric, and thermal properties were studied. Exotic enhancement of magnetism in Bi3+ substitution is distinguished from the simple dilution effect of magnetic Tb3+ ion with nonmagnetic Y3+ and La3+ replacement. From both structural and magnetic characterizations, we conjectured that the strong local anisotropic distortion around Bi3+ ion due to its 6s(2) tone pair modified neighboring Mn3+ spin configuration, from modulated antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic one and induced the formation of fierromagnetic cluster. Both the b-lattice parameter to which the modulation wave vector is parallel and the ferroelectric transition temperature turned out to be very susceptible to Bi-substitution. Controllability of both magnetic and ferroelectric phases suggests a possible route to the simultaneous occurrence of two phase transitions of different origins at the same temperature for the enhanced coupling between magnetism and ferroelectricity.

Prolonged effect of botulinum toxin injection in the treatment of cricopharyngeal dysphagia: Case report and literature review
No full textOrigin of anomalous line shape of the lowest-frequency A(1)(TO) phonon in PbTiO3
No full textThe origin of the anomalous line shape of the A(1)(1TO) soft mode in PbTiO3-based single crystals was investigated by polarized Raman-scattering method over a wide range of temperature between 100 and 700 K. Detailed scattering data indicated that the previously proposed anharmonicity model could not properly explain the anomalous behavior of the lowest-frequency subpeak of the A(1)(1TO) mode that was primarily responsible for the phonon softening of the undoped PbTiO3. Further Raman studies of Ba-doped PbTiO3 crystals showed that the Ba-impurity peak that dominated the soft-mode transition also had the A(1) symmetry of the PbTiO3 host lattice. A careful comparison of these two distinct peaks having the same A(1) symmetry indicates that the observed anomalous line shape of the A(1)(1TO) mode is caused not only by the lattice anharmonicity but also by some lattice defects. Particularly, the lowest-frequency subpeak of the A(1)(1TO) mode is not directly related to the anharmonicity but originates from the existence of thermodynamically unavoidable lattice defects in PbTiO3.open1125sciescopu
Nano-sized polar clusters with tetragonal PbTiO3-based relaxor ferroelectrics
No full textThe behavior of nanometer-sized polar clusters is considered to be of central importance to the understanding of relaxor ferroelectricity. The size of the polar clusters with tetragonal symmetry in PbTiO3-based relaxors was estimated by analyzing the degree of asymmetric Raman line broadening. It was shown that the mean size (L) of the tetragonal polar clusters remained essentially constant with L approximately 1.2 nm for temperatures above 300 K. The estimated L increases rapidly below a certain critical temperature, suggesting a rapid growth of the frozen polar clusters with the same tetragonal symmetry. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
