Concerto for Trumpet and Chamber Ensemble
Concerto for Trumpet and Chamber Ensemble is a three-movement work for solo trumpet and ten instruments, one player to a part, of approximately fourteen minutes in length. It is scored for flute, oboe, clarinet in B-flat, bassoon, piano, percussion, trumpet (solo) in C, violin, viola, cello, and double bass. The principal percussion instrument is xylophone with lesser parts for suspended cymbal and triangle.

Mass
This thesis is a musical setting of the Ordinary of the Roman Catholic Mass: Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. It is scored for a soprano soloist, a four-part chorus (SATB), percussion requiring one player (orchestral bells, vibraphone, and chimes), piano, and pipe organ. The text is taken from the traditional Latin and its English translation, the Greek (in the case of "Kyrie eleison") and verse taken from scripture--John 1:1, John 1:5, and Revelation 1:17-18--as translated in the Revised Standard Version Bible. These verses are woven into the musical fabric of the Kyrie and the Gloria and are frequently overlayed with the text of the Mass itself. The text is treated freely with some cyclic treatment of textual and thematic material.
Molecular Aging of Triosephosphate Isomerase
This work was initiated to acquire a better understanding of the mechanisms, regulations, and significances of deamidation, as well as its role in the aging process.
Morton Schamberg's Role in Precisionism
This study examines how Morton Schamberg encapsulated a significant understanding or European Modernism and created its translation into a unique American style of art known as Precisionism. After his formal studies in architecture and painting and his trips to Europe, he did reworkings of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism before creating important modernist works.
Phosphorylation of Nonmuscle Myosin by Calcium-Dependent and Independent Protein Kinases
Nonmuscle myosin from bovine thymus was purified, characterized , and phosphorylated with MLCK, H4PK, and Protein Kinase C. Phosphorylation occured exclusively on the myosin regulatory light chain. Phosphorylation by MLCK and H4PK resulted in the activation of the MgATPase activity as well as filament assembly of nonmuscle myosin.
A Proposed Molecular Mechanism for the Activation of a Calcium/Phospholipid-Dependent Protein Kinase in P1798 Lymphosarcoma
Calcium/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKC) was purified from P1798 lymphosarcoma. It was demonstrated that uncomplexed calcium and uncomplexed phosphatidylserine are the activators, that the activation of PKC requires that calcium bind first, that the activation of PKC requires that calcium bind first, that high calcium concentrations inhibit PKC activation, and that calcium inhibition can be overcome by phosphatidylserine.
She Had No Peer: A Chamber Opera
The work is a chamber opera in five movements. The vocal forces include soprano, mezzo-soprano and baritone solos and a small mixed chorus. The instrumental forces include flute, oboe, alto and tenor saxophone, bassoon, cello and percussion. The opera is a character study of Eve and the Virgin Mary that compares and contrasts their evolving emotions. Recurring motives and texts are used to help the characters portray their emotions . The English texts were chosen from poetry ranging primarily from the 16th to the 20th century.
A study of muscular development and muscular strength in the highly trained female bodybuilder and the non-strength trained female
The extent of muscular strength and muscular size in 20 female bodybuilders and 20 non-strength trained females was studied. Body composition and segment volumes and related anthropometric measurements data were obtained along with chest press and knee extension One Repetition Maximum (IRM) and 25 Repitition Maximum (25RM) values. No group differences were present in age, height, weight and segment volumes. The bodybuilders had a lower percent body fat, greater lean body weight (LBW) and larger muscles compared to the non-strength trained females.
Ultrastructural Effects of Chemical Modification on Olfactory Receptors
The ultrastructural effects of chemical modification on olfactory receptors were investigated with scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and fluorescent microscopy. Mason and Morton (1984) hypothesized that a two-step chemical treatment would covalently modify receptor proteins. Their two-step protocol was modified in an attempt to label olfactory receptor proteins and the ultra structural effects of the original two-step protocol were examined.
Voice Crying in the Wilderness
This score was prepared using a new computer software program called the "Professional Composer". Voice Crying in the Wilderness is an original score by Nat Irvin and Bob Ray Sanders.
