Abstract:

Rheological modification is frequently cited as a key application for hyperbranched polymers. However, the high degree of branching in these polymers restricts entanglement and the resultant mechanical properties suffer. Longer distances between branch points may allow entanglements. Highly branched polymers, where linear units are incorporated between branch points, are synthesized with an oligomeric A2 plus a monomeric B3. Higly branched polymers differ from traditional hyperbranched polymers in that every monomeric repeating unit of a hyperbranched polymer is a potential branch point, w

Abstract:

Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) polymers are thermo-responsive and change conformation above their lower critical solution temperature (LCST). However, there is evidence that highly branched PNIPAM can be driven through a conformational change from open chain to globule at temperatures below the LCST by interaction of groups placed on the chain ends with a compatible molecule/ligand. It is less clear how the linear analogue would behave and our hypothesis is that it would collapse but with the chain ends shielded within the globule. In this study we explored the behaviour of a highly bra

Abstract:

Highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) alkenes are ubiquitous lipids which have been identified in numerous geochemical samples, ranging from recent sediments to ancient oils. At the outset of the current investigation, the diatomaceous algae Haslea ostrearia (C25 alkenes) and Rhizosolenia setigera (C25 or C30 alkenes) were the only reported biological sources of these compounds. However, there remained a poor correlation between isomers found in diatoms and those commonly reported in sediments and water column particles. In the present study, the structures of fourteen novel C25 HBI trienes, tetrae

Abstract:

At least fourteen C25 highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) alkenes have been previously reported in estuarine and coastal sediments from locations worldwide. The parent alkane structure has been proven but only a few of the double bond positions established previously. A wide body of evidence suggests that the compounds have a diatomaceous origin, with one report in the laboratory cultured diatom Haslea ostrearia. Alkenes with more than two double bonds appear to be rapidly removed from the hydrocarbon fraction of most sediments. There is evidence that some of the alkenes react rapidly with sulphu

Abstract:

In addition to the production of phytol (from chlorophylls) and sterols, a limited number of diatom species are capable of synthesising unusual C25 and C30 highly branched isoprenoid (HBl) alkenes. At the outset of the current investigation, the structures of most C25 and C30 HBIs had been identified. Some environmental factors had been shown to control their production, although a detailed understanding of these remained unclear. In addition, the biological functions of the chemicals remained unknown, and the reasons for their production by some species and not by others, was not understood.

Oligo(vinyl ethers) with functionalised end groups were produced through the alkylation of silyl enol ethers in ab initio cationic polymerisations. In order to obtain high degrees of chain end functionality a great deal of care was taken in choosing the monomer concentration, the reaction temperature, Lewis acids and the concentration of silyl enol ether. The experiment also required the use of highly nucleophilic species such as silyl ketene acetal, which react with carbocations at similar rates to vinyl ethers. Rapid elimination of the primary adduct produced the ester end-groups. MALDI-TOF

Abstract:

The overall architecture of higher plants is determined by the number and arrangement of lateral branches around the main root-shoot axis. The principal function of these shoot and root branches is to hold leaves and other organs to the sun, and below ground, to facilitate the uptake of nutrients and water, and provide secure anchorage for the plant. Lateral root and shoot branches are often maintained at specific angles with respect to gravity, a quantity known as the gravitropic set-point angle (GSA).

Thesis (PhD (Wine Biotechnology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.<br>Includes bibliography.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Alcoholic fermentation, and especially wine fermentation, is one of the most ancient microbiological processes utilized by man. Yeast of the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae are usually responsible for most of the fermentative activity, and many data sets clearly demonstrate the important impact of this species on the quality and character of the final product. However, many aspects of the genetic and metabolic processes that take place during alcoholic fermentation remain p

L'objectif de ce travail fut d'intensifier des procédés de polymérisation radicalaire par transfert d'atomes (ATRP) du méthacrylate de 2-(dimétylamino)éthyle (DMAEAMA) au moyen de technologies de microréaction (microréacteurs, micromélangeurs) et de paramètres de procédé (géométrie du réacteur, température, pression ... ).L'impact du prémélange sur les caractéristiques d'un copolymère statistique du DMAEMA et du méthacrylate de benzyle synthétisé dans des microréacteurs hélicoïdaux (CT) fut étudié en utilisant des principes différents de micromélange: bilamination, multilamination interdigital

Abstract:

This research aims to identify the process by which students form images of universities, the extent to which students’ favourable evaluations of image attractiveness lead to student-university identification, and the extent to which perceived image attractiveness and student-university identification determine planned behaviour, i.e., supportive intentions, including student choice of institution. Full-service international branch campuses offering complete degree programmes are a fairly new phenomenon on the higher education landscape and potential students have limited knowledge about them

Abstract:

This study explores the challenges perceived by senior officers in Western university branch campuses in a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) state and aims to provide insights into how leaders dealt with them. Thus, the study addresses four research questions. First, how campus senior officers perceive the challenges? Second, to what extent are these challenges a result of operating in a different cultural context? Third, how do senior officers deal with these challenges and maintain the quality of their home universities? Finally, how can the study findings be theorised to inform future policy a
