Alkaline, salty;
Plants hate bauxite residue. Soil, it must become. Talitha Santini University of Western Australia Thesis title: ‘A pedogenic treatment for bauxite residue mud’ My PhD aimed to identify the best treatments for remediating bauxite residue mud (also known as ‘red mud’, which is basically the leftovers after processing aluminium ore) deposits so that the residue approaches something like a natural soil and can support a plant cover. Growing new tissue
Cells need a scaffold for growth PHEMA can be used Stefan Paterson University of Western Australia Thesis Title: “The synthesis of PHEMA-based materials for tissue engineering applications”. My thesis came under the broad research area of tissue engineering, but more specifically, involved the used of four very different areas of chemistry to synthesize enzymatically degradable macroporous polymeric materials. These materials were degraded in vitro using enzymes, with the degradation profiles of the materials being suitable for tissue engineering applications. Methylmercaptan,
the smell of Life arising, ignorants say “stinks”. Kai Finster Aarhus University, Denmark The title of my thesis that I completed in spring 1993 was “The transformation of reduced sulfur compounds in bacterial cultures and in sediments”. Despite its olfactoric challenges this is an extremely exciting field in microbial ecology and physiology since it touches our origins. An elliptic curve.
Does N divide its order? Let’s work out the odds. Everett W. Howe Center for Communications Research, La Jolla Dissertation: Elliptic curves and ordinary abelian varieties over finite fields (U.C. Berkeley, 1993) The first part of my dissertation involved calculating estimates for the probability that a randomly-chosen elliptic curve over a finite field would have a given integer N dividing its number of points. Singularly round
somewhere spherical, elsewhere principally free Steven Broad Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame, IN My work on differential geometry and dynamical systems, specifically geometric singularities, studies the ways that spheres can be deformed and certain points called umbilics (and higher-order generalizations thereof) that arise in isolated (sometimes unpredictable) locations on the deformed surface. Umbilics are called locally spherical because they are locations where the original spherical shape is more or less preserved. |
