Abstract:

Many of the wild and some cultivated species of potato are true diploids and are therefore more amenable for genetic studies than the majority of tetraploid cultivars. However, the use of these diploid Solanum species is complicated by almost universal self-incompatibility (SI). In Solanum, SI is gametophytic and pistil specificity is controlled by a polymorphic ribonuclease (S-RNase), as found in other members of the Solanaceae. The genetic engineering of self-compatible (SC) diploid potato lines would benefit potato breeding in general and allow inbred lines to be established for the first t

Abstract:

Self-assembly of nanorods (NRs) enhanced by functionalization with liquid crystals (LC) ligands has been demonstrated. First, CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) coated gold NRs were prepared in water through a modified one-step seed growth process. The hydrophilic GNRs were then converted into hydrophobic NRs employing a surface modification process using liquid crystalline organosilanes. The functionalized GNRs were characterized by TEM (transmission electron microscopy) and SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering) to investigate the packing mode of the GNRs. The results propose models of th

Abstract:

This thesis examines German philosopher Martin Heidegger’s concepts of being and time, the role of language in being, and ways of authentic being through the lens of modern media practices in the Information Age. It relates Heidegger’s philosophy to the media ecology theory introduced by Marshall McLuhan in the 1960s by exploring McLuhan’s themes of tribal, typographical and electronic man. In addition, this thesis considers the role of mass media in information dissemination. The goal of this report is to explicate the shaping effects of mass media, especially social media, on individual perc

Information from the three efficacy sources of performance accomplishments, verbal persuasion, and vicarious experience was manipulated towards success after subjects completed a muscular leg endurance task.

Abstract:

Nonclassical states of light are of increasing interest due to their applications in the emerging field of quantum information processing and communication. Squeezed light is such a state of the electromagnetic field in which the quantum noise properties are altered compared with those of coherent light. Squeezed light and squeezed vacuum states are potentially useful for quantum information protocols as well as optical measurements, where sensitivities can be limited by quantum noise. We experimentally study a source of squeezed vacuum resulting from the interaction of near-resonant light wit

Abstract:

Geckos are famous for the skill of switchable adhesion that they use to stick on various surface while keep their fingers super clean. In the dissertation, a unique mechanism was discovered to explain gecko self-cleaning phenomena. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), we managed to compare the microparticle-substrate adhesion and the microparticle-seta adhesion with a single seta bonded to the AFM cantilever. A dynamic effect was approved that high pulling-off speed could increase the microparticle-substrate adhesion and thus the self-cleaning appears at high moving speed. Based on the self-cl

Functional surfaces coated with nano-thin films have potential applications in many areas. In this Thesis, liquid spreading and adsorption onto surfaces were studied as a function of surface properties, such as chemical composition, roughness and functionality. In the first study, the spontaneous motion of water droplets onto wedges surfaces was studied after placing them at the narrow end of a wedge. The actuation force applied on the droplets at the tip of the wedge overcomes the adhesion forces due to the friction forces and contact-line pinning. The velocity of the moving droplets depends

Part 1 of the thesis reviews another type of intervention for student drinking, namely, parent-based interventions. Numerous experimental studies have been published in recent years which examine the efficacy of this type of intervention. Findings sugges

Second anxiety is associated with an interpretive bias, reflecting a disproportionate tendency to resolve ambiguity in a threatening manner (Mogg et al., 1994). These characteris

The morphology and thickness of the SAM was measured to determine the mechanism of formation and origin of the MT-resistant behavior. The SAM was integrated into electron beam lithography for patterning and manipulating MTs using electrophoresis. Reversible

Abstract:

The current study examined affective reactivity to oneself in an upward socialcomparison manipulation using autonomic physiological responses. Study I was conducted to select images of thin and average size models used to elicit a social comparison process for Study II. For Study II, thirty-two female undergraduate students had their startle reflex and skin conductance responses recorded while viewing images of themselves presented adjacent to thin or average size models. Participants also viewed positive, negative, and neutral affect images to test our experimental manipulation of Peter Lang’

Abstract:

Emotional manipulation is the use of high-level emotional skills to manipulate others for self-serving reasons. This study examined individuals’ belief in their emotional manipulation skills (trait emotional manipulation) and the frequency with which they engaged in emotional manipulation (willingness to emotionally manipulate). The influence of emotional intelligence, primary psychopathy, secondary psychopathy, Machiavellianism, grandiose narcissism, vulnerable narcissism, sadism, general self-efficacy, and social self-efficacy on trait emotional manipulation and willingness to emotionally ma

Abstract:

<p>Pattern formation is a mysterious phenomenon occurring at all scales in nature. The beauty of the resulting structures and myriad of resulting properties occurring in naturally forming patterns have attracted great interest from scientists and engineers. One of the most convenient experimental models for studying pattern formation are colloidal particle suspensions, which can be used both to explore condensed matter phenomena and as a powerful fabrication technique for forming advanced materials. In my thesis, I have focused on the study of colloidal patterns, which can be conveniently trac

Abstract:

In this study, we investigated the effects of stealing thunder (a type of selfdisclosure) and type of transgression (competence vs. integrity) on trust in a politician and their representative party and policy, after the politician commits a transgression. 99 participants (68 females, 31 males) with an average age of 30.89 (SD=14.12) completed this study, with just over half (62.2%) being students University of Tasmania. Participants complete an online survey where they read several vignettes about a hypothetical politician committing a wrongdoing, and completed Likert scales and dichotomous m

Abstract:

碩士<br>淡江大學<br>化學學系碩士班<br>97<br>Two thiol-funcationalized discotic liquid crystalline mesogens, 17a and 17b have been synthesized. Their liquid crystalline properties were studied using polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and powder X-ray diffraction. Upon heating, 17a showed a columnar phase followed by a discotic nematic phase. On the other hand, 17b exhibited only a columnar mesophase within a wide temperature range. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have been prepared by chemisorption of 17a and 17b individually from dilute solutions. Alignment behaviors of disc
