Show moreThe direction IPro 307 “Intermodal Container Transport” is taking for the 2008 semester is geared toward alternative energy technologies as well as expansion of the capacity and efficiency of a designated rail transfer yard. The selected exploration site is the Norfolk Southern rail transfer yard at 47th street near the Dan Ryan Expressway. Since there is a large amount of on-site equipment (Mi-Jack side loaders, cranes, and yard hostlers), the possibility of introducing alternative fuel technologies exists and can provide a cleaner and more cost-effective solution to air pollution and rising fuel costs. The group will be focusing efforts on using wind power in parallel with compressed natural gas as an alternative fuel, as well as designing innovative ways to improve yard capacity and efficiency. The ultimate goal of this IPro is to develop a plan to increase yard efficiency and output, while at the same time incorporating green technology as an alternative energy source for the facility equipment.

Title: STUDIES ON SYNTHETIC APPLICATIONS OF STEREOSELECTIVE AND REGIOSELECTIVE RING OPENING REACTIONS OF AZIRIDINIUM IONS

Show moreAziridinium ions are valuable reactive intermediates in organic synthesis. Regioselective and stereoselective ring opening reactions of aziridinium ions can provide various useful building blocks including optically active vincinal amines, amino alcohols and amino esters. Aziridinium ions are also involved in the biological process of anti-cancer agents. However, aziridinium ions are under-utilized in organic synthesis. In this thesis, we utilize stereoselective and regioselective ring opening reactions of aziridinium ions for synthesis of enantiomerically enriched compounds. Ring opening reactions of aziridinium ions were utilized in intramolecular Friedel-Crafts (FC) reactions for stereoselective and regioselective synthesis of 4-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline. A series of β-haloamine were prepared as precuresors of aziridinium ions. The reaction conditions for ring opening of aziridinium ions for the FC reactions including temperature, catalysts, and solvents were optimized. Further, the reaction mechanism was studied to prove that the aziridinium ions were formed as the key intermediates during the intramolecular FC reaction. Intermolecular nucleophilic ring opening reaction of aziridinium ions was studied as a convenient method of carbon-carbon formation. Regioselective and stereoselective nucleophilic substitution reactions of aziridinium ions with indole analogues were carried out for the synthesis of optically active tryptamine analogues. The reactions proceeded smoothly to provide the tryptamine analogues in high yield in the presence of halo-sequestering agents, while the reaction provided the tryptamine products in significantly low yield in the absence of halo-sequestering agents. Ring opening reactions of aziridinium ions with malonic esters and Grignard reagents were carried out for the respective synthesis of optically active tryptamine analogues, γ-aminobuyric acid (GABA), and α-amine derivatives. The regiospecific ring opening reactions of aziridinium ions was directly applied for the synthesis of bifunctional ligands which have a potential use in targeted therapy and imaging of cancers. The novel bifunctional chelates with a shorter alkyl spacer C-NETA and 2E-C-NETA as well as the chelates with a longer alkyl spacer 5p-C-NETA were prepared. 5p-C-NETA was conjugated to a cyclic peptide c(RGDyK) as a targeting moiety for use in targeted radiation therapy. In addition, 2E-C-NETA was conjugated to a fluorescent dye Cy5.5 for theranostic applications. The experimental results indicated that the new bifunctional ligands have promising applications in the biomedical field. In summary, stereoselective and regioselective ring opening reactions of aziridinium ions have been successfully applied for the synthesis of optically active compounds such as 4-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines, tryptamines, γ-aminobuyric acid, α-amine derivatives and the bifunctional chelators. We demonstrated that ring opening of versatile aziridinium intermediates is a strightforward and convenient method for the synthesis of various optically active compounds.

Joliet, being so close, makes a great place as a depot to intercept much of Chicago’s goods, it is also far enough away to avoid further congestion in the city. Currently one hub exists in Joliet (Elwood BNSF), another is being developed (Centerpoint), and one is being proposed off of Lorenzo road. Our sponsor, Mi-Jack, has asked us to come up with solutions to make these freight hubs more efficient.

Show moreNew inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) measurements are presented, obtained with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA. The results comprise (flavour) inclusive DIS cross sections as well as inclusive charm production. In the area of inclusive DIS, both H1 and ZEUS completed last year their high Q2 Neutral and Charged current measurements exploiting the large statistics from the HERA II running period. For inclusive charm production, H1 and ZEUS published a combination of numerous existing measurements based on various tagging methods. Among other things a precise determination of the running charm quark mass mc(mc) was obtained from the combined data.

Show moreMotivated by a desire to create an architectural response to the environmental and social challenges of today, the following thesis project attempts to offer new paths for the future development of the solar chimney energy plant concept originally developed by the German engineer Jӧrg Schlaich in the early 1980s. The starting point of this thesis was to analyze the solar chimney prototype completed in the Manzanares desert in 1982 in order to understand the parameters guiding the design. The analysis allowed me to better understand the potential of the concept and to recognize the opportunity that existed to push the technological boundaries to craft a new design that reflects the current socio-political, economical and environmental context we live in. In the following pages, I attempt to demonstrate that the concept could be made even more appealing through the use of technology and locally available resources. By doing this, I seek to reinvigorate the idea, opening paths for a new conversation about the potential of the project as a social agent for progress. Throughout this thesis, I remain respectful and aware of the accomplishments of the pioneers before me, simply taking cues from their work to suggest new alternatives and solutions to a problem that has been made even more pressing due to the world’s energy crisis and economic uncertainty.
