dissertation thesis collections

Oxford theses

The Bodleian Libraries’ thesis collection holds every DPhil thesis deposited at the University of Oxford since the degree began in its present form in 1917. Our oldest theses date from the early 1920s. We also have substantial holdings of MLitt theses, for which deposit became compulsory in 1953, and MPhil theses.

Since 2007 it has been a mandatory requirement for students to deposit an electronic copy of their DPhil thesis in the Oxford University Research Archive (ORA) , in addition to the deposit of a paper copy – the copy of record. Since the COVID pandemic, the requirement of a paper copy has been removed and the ORA copy has become the copy of record. Hardcopy theses are now only deposited under exceptional circumstances. 

ORA provides full-text PDF copies of most recent DPhil theses, and some earlier BLitt/MLitt theses. Find out more about Oxford Digital Theses, and depositing with ORA .

Finding Oxford theses

The following theses are catalogued on SOLO (the University libraries’ resource discovery tool) :

• DPhil and BLitt and MLitt theses
• BPhil and MPhil theses 
• Science theses

SOLO collates search results from several sources.

How to search for Oxford theses on SOLO

To search for theses in the Oxford collections on SOLO :

• navigate to the SOLO homepage
• click on the 'Advanced Search' button
• click the 'Material Type' menu and choose the 'Dissertations' option
• type in the title or author of the thesis you are looking for and click the 'Search' button.

Also try an “Any field” search for “Thesis Oxford” along with the author’s name under “creator” and any further “Any field” keywords such as department or subject. 

Searching by shelfmarks

If you are searching using the shelfmark, please make sure you include the dots in your search (e.g. D.Phil.). Records will not be returned if they are left out.

Oxford University Research Archive (ORA)

ORA was established in 2007 as a permanent and secure online archive of research produced by members of the University of Oxford. It is now mandatory for students completing a research degree at the University to deposit an electronic copy of their thesis in this archive. 

Authors can select immediate release on ORA, or apply a 1-year or 3-year embargo period. The embargo period would enable them to publish all or part of their research elsewhere if they wish. 

Theses held in ORA are searchable via  SOLO , as well as external services such as EThOS and Google Scholar. For more information, visit the Oxford digital theses guide , and see below for guidance on searching in ORA.

Search for Oxford theses on ORA

Type your keywords (title, name) into the main search box, and use quotes (“) to search for an exact phrase.

Refine your search results using the drop-downs on the left-hand side. These include:

• item type (thesis, journal article, book section, etc.)
• thesis type (DPhil, MSc, MLitt, etc.)
• subject area (History, Economics, Biochemistry, etc.)
• item date (as a range)
• file availability (whether a full text is available to download or not)

You can also increase the number of search results shown per page, and sort by relevance, date and file availability. You can select and export records to csv or email. 

Select hyperlinked text within the record details, such as “More by this author”, to run a secondary search on an author’s name. You can also select a hyperlinked keyword or subject.

Harvard University Theses, Dissertations, and Prize Papers

The Harvard University Archives ’ collection of theses, dissertations, and prize papers document the wide range of academic research undertaken by Harvard students over the course of the University’s history.

Beyond their value as pieces of original research, these collections document the history of American higher education, chronicling both the growth of Harvard as a major research institution as well as the development of numerous academic fields. They are also an important source of biographical information, offering insight into the academic careers of the authors.

Spanning from the ‘theses and quaestiones’ of the 17th and 18th centuries to the current yearly output of student research, they include both the first Harvard Ph.D. dissertation (by William Byerly, Ph.D . 1873) and the dissertation of the first woman to earn a doctorate from Harvard ( Lorna Myrtle Hodgkinson , Ed.D. 1922).

Other highlights include:

• The collection of Mathematical theses, 1782-1839
• The 1895 Ph.D. dissertation of W.E.B. Du Bois, The suppression of the African slave trade in the United States, 1638-1871
• Ph.D. dissertations of astronomer Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (Ph.D. 1925) and physicist John Hasbrouck Van Vleck (Ph.D. 1922)
• Undergraduate honors theses of novelist John Updike (A.B. 1954), filmmaker Terrence Malick (A.B. 1966),  and U.S. poet laureate Tracy Smith (A.B. 1994)
• Undergraduate prize papers and dissertations of philosophers Ralph Waldo Emerson (A.B. 1821), George Santayana (Ph.D. 1889), and W.V. Quine (Ph.D. 1932)
• Undergraduate honors theses of U.S. President John F. Kennedy (A.B. 1940) and Chief Justice John Roberts (A.B. 1976)

What does a prize-winning thesis look like?

If you're a Harvard undergraduate writing your own thesis, it can be helpful to review recent prize-winning theses. The Harvard University Archives has made available for digital lending all of the Thomas Hoopes Prize winners from the 2019-2021 academic years.

ProQuest™ Dissertations & Theses Citation Index

The ProQuest™ Dissertations & Theses Citation Index (PQDT) is the world's most comprehensive curated collection of multi-disciplinary dissertations and theses, offering over 5.5 million records representing dissertations and theses from thousands of universities around the world.

Extending from they early 1600s to present, PQDT coverage is broadly multidisciplinary and includes foundational research in the life sciences, mathematics, computer science, engineering, social sciences, and humanities. Within dissertations and theses is a wealth of scholarship, yet it is often overlooked because most go unpublished.

Key Features

The ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Citation Index will be a standalone database and included in an All Databases search by default. WoS users also have filter options available in each search so that they can search broadly and then narrow focus on a particular collection, subject category, document type, etc. If a user wants to locate dissertations or theses specifically, they can also search of ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Citation Index only.

Standalone and aggregated search

PQDT is included in ALL Database search and can also be searched as a unique collection.

Track citation activity in Web of Science Core Collection

Dissertations and theses that have been cited by Web of Science Core Collection records will include a citation count and a link to the citing articles.

Claim dissertation or theses to a Web of Science Researcher Profiles

Researchers can manually claim their dissertation or thesis to their Web of Science Researcher Profile and make it part of the public view of their profile.

Links to Full Text of dissertations and theses on ProQuest platform

Institutions that subscribe to PQDT Global on the ProQuest platform will be able to link directly to their entitled full text.

Note: ProQuest Dissertation and Theses Citation Index will be released to customers in two phases. Phase 1: In July 2023, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Citation Index will go live with metadata records for 5.5+ million dissertations and theses. The records will not include cited reference indexing, which means that functionality such as Related Records and Cited References lists and associated navigation will not display. Phase 2: In late 2023, Linked Cited References lists and Related Records will be released to fully connect dissertations to the Web of Science citation network. If you have any questions regarding PQDT entitlement or functionality, please contact the Web of Science support team .

Available Formats

Electronic copies.

As of September 2010 all doctoral dissertations and masters theses are submitted to the  Proquest Dissertations & Theses database. Electronic copies of doctoral dissertations began to be available in 1997 while masters theses began to be available in September 2010. After a dissertation or thesis is submitted to Graduate Studies, it can take up to several months for it to appear in the database.

As of Spring Quarter 2021, theses and dissertations are also submitted to eScholarship .

Paper Copies

Masters theses from mid-2003 to September 2010 are located in the Shields Library book stacks.

Microfiche Copies

UC Davis theses and dissertations issued between 1978 and mid-2003 are available for use in the Microcopy Collection, Lower Level, Shields Library. Microfiche copies are available for inter-library loan and for reading, copying, or scanning within the library.

Archival Copies

UC Davis theses and dissertations issued before 1978 are typically only available in Special Collections. These are stored offsite and are for use only in the Blanchard Special Collections Reading Room. They can be requested at  aeon.library.ucdavis.edu . Turnaround time is 48-72 hours.

Locating Dissertations and Theses

Via uc library search.

UC Davis dissertations and theses can be located via the library’s online catalog,  UC Library Search . The item record will indicate the location of each thesis and dissertation.

Search Tips

Dissertations and theses do not receive standard “subject” headings. Dissertation titles are required to be descriptive, so title word searches are often effective. Another strategy, applicable for dissertations only, is to search in Proquest’s Dissertations & Theses Database (limiting to UC Davis if desired), where one can search titles, abstracts, and subject descriptors.

Note: with our new catalog options, searching by dissertation subject heading is less used, but in case you need to know, UC Davis catalogs its theses and dissertations with a limited subject heading, constructed of the phrase Dissertations, Academic — University of California, Davis plus the name of the department in which the degree is granted, for example:

• Dissertations, Academic — University of California, Davis — Genetics

For 1989 and earlier, use the heading Dissertations, Academic — California plus the name of the department in which the degree is granted, for example:

• Dissertations, Academic — California — Soil science

Via the Dissertations & Theses Database

The  Dissertations & Theses Database  via Proquest includes citations for theses and dissertations from 1861 to the current year. Entries for dissertations from 1980 forward include 350-word abstracts, written by the author. Citations for master’s theses from 1988 forward include 150-word abstracts. UC Davis submits only doctoral dissertations for inclusion in Dissertations & Theses via Proquest.

Search Dissertations & Theses by:

• The keyword of the title or abstract
• School (“Davis,” for example)
• Advisor name
• Other fields

Some UC Davis dissertations are not sent to ProQuest at the request of the author. In such cases, locate the bibliographic record in the UC Library Search online catalog. There may be a microform or print copy available for use, or you may request retrieval of the archival copy via Special Collections.

The Dissertations & Theses database provides access to the complete full-text of all University of California dissertations in addition to UC Davis doctoral dissertations from the year 1997 forward. Free 24-page previews are available for most other university theses and dissertations listed in the database from 1997 forward. Access to the ProQuest database and full-text is limited to UC computer addresses.

How to Obtain PDFs from the Dissertations & Theses Database

When displaying a citation for a dissertation, the Digital Dissertations database will indicate via a “Full text -PDF” button that the dissertation is available for full-text download. Nearly all of the UC dissertations since 1997 are available in full-text format.

Geoffrey R. Weller Library

You are here, thesis collections at unbc.

This page gives a brief overview of the thesis and disseration collections at UNBC:

A Fractured Collection

Retrospective digitization.

• Moving from Print to Digital
• Frequently Asked Questions

In 1996 The University began collecting its first theses. There were approximately 21 titles in that first intake. Since then the collection has grown to include nearly 1600 titles, including: Ph.d. dissertations, masters theses and graduate projects. Upon completion students submitted a minimum of two copies of their work to the library. 1 copy was held in the Library’s main circulating collection while the other was placed in the Library’s non-circulating Special Collections. From the start students have signed a non-exclusive copyright license witht eh university to distribute their work.

In the early 2000s Graduate Programs began sending unbound theses to ProQuest for inclusion in their world renowned Thesis and Dissertations Database. Student’s signed a non-exclusive copyright license with ProQuest, which allowed ProQuest to make a digital copy of the unbound thesis for inclusion in their database. ProQuest also made microfiche copies of the theses and sent digital and fiche copies to Library and Archives Canada’s (LAC) for inclusion in the national thesis repository. The UNBC library also received fiche copies from ProQuest.

The formal relationship between ProQuest and the National library ended in 2014. Thanks to new technologies the national library felt it could receive digital copies of theses directly from Canadian post-secondary institutions. Microfiche would no longer be collected by LAC. The new technologies LAC felt solved the delivery problem were the rise of digital institutional repositories and the Open Archives Initiative protocol for automatically harvesting such repositories.

Unfortunately, a lack of funding has kept the development of institutional repositories out of reach for many smaller post-secondary institutions. In 2015 the British Columbia Electronic Library Network (BCELN) received provincial funding to establish a shared repository for all BC post-secondary libraries. Seven BC institutions became the first to adopt the shared institutional repository, including UNBC. It is hoped that this repository will soon house the complete collection of UNBC theses, dissertations and graduate projects.

The University of Northern British Columbia’s youth can be seen in the disjointed nature of its thesis collection. The earliest theses and dissertations produced at the UNBC are available only in print from the shelves of the Geoffrey R. Weller Library. Later theses found their way into ProQuest’s Thesis and Dissertations Database and on to the Library and Archives of Canada. Since 2014, however, LAC has been unable to collect thesis or dissertation submissions from the UNBC.  A problem anticipated to be corrected by late 2015.

ProQuest’s Thesis and Dissertation Database is proprietary and its contents available only to paying customers. As a result access to UNBC theses has always been restricted. Academics with access to a major research library have generally had access to at least the later part of the collection. Graduate projects, on the other hand, have never been sent to ProQuest and have only ever been available from the shelves of the library.

As a recap, the following institutions provide access to UNBC theses:

• The Geoffrey R. Weller Library : print copies stored in the main circulating collection and in the non-circulating Special Collections, a copy on microfiche of theses and dissertations (not projects) since approximately 2002.  
• ProQuest’s Theses and Dissertations Database : digital copies of theses and dissertations since approximately 2002 until spring 2015.
• Library and Archives Canada : digital and microfiche copies of theses and dissertations produced from approximately 2002 to 2013.

Researchers may also find the citations of UNBC theses and dissertations scattered among a host of other proprietary and open repositories. This occurs as a result of partnerships between ProQuest or LAC and these entities. For example, researchers may find citations in the Networked Digital Library of Thesis and Dissertations’ (NDLTD) union catalogue as LAC sends its records to this group.

A single searchable repository of UNBC theses, dissertations and graduate projects has yet to become available. 

The Geoffrey R. Weller Library has been steadily working toward a single, searchable collection of the theses, dissertations and graduate projects produced at the UNBC. To achieve this the library has approached the problem on two fronts. First, digital copies of each thesis, dissertation and graduate project must be gathered. Second, a mechanism must be developed for obtaining digital copies of future student work.

Approximately 800 titles of theses and dissertations were digitized by ProQuest. The license students signed with this company enable ProQuest to return the digital copies to the institution for distribution in an institutional repository. ProQuest has graciously provided the library with a digital copy of each of these titles and the accompanying metadata. However, this leaves a little more than 250 theses still only available in print. An additional 500 graduate projects are also only available in print.

The library thoroughly investigated methods for digitizing its print collection. Three reputable digitization companies provided quotes for digitizing 250 titles. The quotes ranged from 15 to 25 thousand dollars dependent upon whether we required the print copies back. It was determined that all 750 print copies (including graduate projects) could be digitized in house for a little more than 5000 dollars. In the summer of 2015 the library hired a student for this purpose.

While graduating students signed a license agreement with the university, which grants the university the right to make copies of their work for library users, copyright is still held by the student. The shifting of formats from print to digital and the housing of the work in an institutional repository was something hardly envisioned by students in the early days of the university. While it is believed that the vast majority of alumni will welcome this move out of respect to our alumni we have alerted them of this change.

Taking a queue from other institutions that have retrospectively digitized their thesis collections we will attempt to contact our students regarding the digitization of their work. When Simon Fraser University digitized their collection they contacted students and asked them to respond if they did not want their thesis made available digitally.  SFU like other institutions have reasoned that, “this type of ‘negative billing’ was deemed easier for record keeping purposes as far fewer authors were going to object than were going to agree.”

We have taken the following steps to notify our students of the digitization project:

• In co-operation with Alumni Relations an email was sent to each student we have an address for.
• A print letter, mirroring the email, will also be circulated with the Update magazine in November 2015.

Moving from print to digital

In order to have a complete thesis collection available future thesis, dissertation and projects produced at UNBC must be collected digitally. The library has been working in partnership with Graduate Programs and campus IT services to provide a management system for collecting and disseminating graduate work. We anticipate that this system will be in place in the coming months.

Who holds copyright on theses, dissertations and graduate projects produced at UNBC.

The author of the work holds copyright over what they produce at UNBC. Students have generally signed as many as three non-exclusive licenses to enable the distribution of their work: a UNBC partial copyright license, a license with Library and Archives Canada and a license with ProQuest. Students may also sell or otherwise cede their copyright to another party, such as a publisher, if they choose.

What if a student decides they do not want their work available digitally?

Students may contact any of the distributing institutions, including UNBC, to notify them of their desire to have the digital copy removed. While we would be sorry to see the research made unavailable distributors are both obligated and willing to remove the works from their collection upon notification from the student or copyright holder.

Instead of digitizing the print theses why not have alumni send you digital copies of their thesis?

Unfortunately, even if we could be certain that students retained a viable digital copy of their thesis it would be next to impossible to verify if the digital copy was truly the final approved version of the thesis.

Could you not digitize the theses without cutting the bindings?

Yes, this could have been done. Several quotes were obtained from reputable digitization companies to complete the work in this manner. The quotes ranged from 15,000 to 25,000 dollars for 250 digitized titles. The library was able to digitize over 650 titles in–house for a fraction of that cost by cutting the bindings.

Are print copies of theses, dissertations and graduate projects still available in the library?

Yes, the library will retain a print copy in its Special Collection and will continue to collect the works in print as long as Graduate Programs continues to require print submissions.

Why is the signature page missing from the electronic version of my thesis?

Rest assured that all projects, theses and dissertations in UNBC's repository have been approved and signed off by the appropriate committee. Signature pages were removed to safegaurd the signatures of professors and committee members.

Dissertation or Thesis - what is the difference?

A  dissertation  is a book-length work prepared by a graduate student as a requirement for a doctoral degree (usually a Ph.D.)

A  thesis  is an in-depth essay prepared by a student as part of the requirements for a master's degree (usually M.A.) or for an undergraduate degree.  Students are often not required to make their dissertations or theses openly available to the public.  Some choose to not have their works added to databases, or be printed, then added to a library.  Those that are printed, bound, and added to a library are frequently added to non-circulating collections.  This makes it sometimes challenging to obtain print copies through Interlibrary Loan.  Cline's Document Delivery  service will attempt to obtain print copies of dissertations from any library that owns a copy; just be aware it will take time and the request might be canceled.  

International dissertations are often more challenging to obtain in print through Interlibrary Loan. Many libraries have their dissertations in a non-circulating collection, others are reluctant to mail internationally.  Cline Library's Document Delivery service can attempt to order international titles, just be aware that the success rate is low.  Whenever possible, try to locate a digitally-born copy through an online source like those within this guide. 

This guide is designed to help users locate digitally-born dissertations.  

NAU Dissertations and Theses

Tips for Finding Dissertations from the United States

Start out by searching for dissertations using the  proquest dissertations & theses database . .

Within the database be aware of full text options. For newer materials (after 2007), digital might be the only option for obtaining a free copy. Dissertations produced after 2007 frequently are only available in electronic format, with very few printed or added to libraries.

Be aware of the university where it was produced.  Many universities have digital repositories where dissertations are placed.  It is worth Googling the "school name AND digital repository".  Once on the repository page, search by the dissertation title or author.    

Dissertations from many U.S. and Canadian universities can be purchased online through  ProQuest UMI Dissertation Express .  NAU does not purchase dissertations. 

Open Access Sources

U.S. University Digital Repositories

Digitally Born Dissertations (typically 2007 to present):  Many universities have digital repositories where authors can add their dissertations, articles, or chapters.  These repositories often allow free downloads. Before submitting an Interlibrary Loan request for dissertations after 2007, it is often a good idea to Google the title to see if a full text option is available or attempt to locate the university's digital repository.    

A sample of digital repositories that provide public access to theses and dissertations:

Arizona State University Digital Repository 

ASU has created a LibGuide to assist in locating ASU dissertations.  It can be found here.

Dissertation Advisory Committee; Thesis Acceptance Certificate

The Dissertation Advisory Committee formally approves the dissertation by signing the Thesis Acceptance Certificate . In PhD programs that are not lab-based, this committee also guides the student in writing the dissertation. The committee should work cohesively in supporting the student to produce their best work. The signatures of these faculty members on the Thesis Acceptance Certificate indicate formal acceptance of the student’s scholarly contribution to the field.  

In some fields, especially in the sciences, the Dissertation Advisory Committee described below is known locally as the “Dissertation Defense Committee.” In these programs, a separate additional committee (also called the Dissertation Advisory Committee) that includes the student’s primary advisor, will guide the student’s progress until submission for formal review by the DAC/defense committee. The members of the DAC/defense committee give formal approval to the finished work, but the student’s work will be understood to have occurred under the guidance of the primary advisor. The changes to the DAC/defense committee as described below do not in any way affect the essential structure of dissertation advising that already exists in lab-based PhD programs. 

The following policy applies to every Harvard Griffin GSAS Dissertation Advisory Committee formed on or after July 1, 2024. Any Dissertation Advisory Committee approved before July 1, 2024 is subject to the rules outlined below, see “Grandfathering.”  

Effective July 1, 2024:  

•  The graduate thesis for the PhD shall be accepted, and the Thesis Acceptance Certificate signed, by at least three advisors, who will form the Dissertation Advisory Committee (DAC). At least two members of the committee shall be on-ladder faculty members. 
• In FAS-based programs, the Director of Graduate Studies or Department Chair or Area Chair shall sign off on the proposed committee.  
• For programs based outside the FAS, the Program Head shall sign off. 
• A program may petition the Dean of Harvard Griffin GSAS to consider a variation to the above requirement. 
• A Professor in Residence or Professor of the Practice may serve as a non-chairing member of the DAC, as long as the committee composition is consistent with “1.”  
•  Senior Lecturers and other non-ladder faculty may serve on the DAC as the third member when appropriate, as approved by the Director of Graduate Studies, Department Chair, Area Chair, or Program Head, as long as the committee composition is consistent with “1.” 
• Tenured emeriti faculty members (including research professors) may serve on the DAC. They may co-chair the DAC with a current on-ladder faculty member from the student’s department or program but may not serve as the sole chair. 
• Non-Harvard faculty of equivalent appointment rank to on-ladder faculty at Harvard may serve as one of the non-chairing members of the DAC.  
• A committee with co-chairs shall require a third member, consistent with ”1.” 
• Additional members may be appointed to the DAC, as long as the core three-member committee is consistent with ”1.” 
• They may continue to serve as a committee member if they have moved to another institution with an appointment rank equivalent to on-ladder at Harvard.  
• Or, if they are no longer serving on the DAC (by choice of the student, the student’s program, and/or the departing faculty member), the advisor must be replaced in accordance with ”1.” 
• If the departing faculty member will remain as chair on the DAC, a co-chair must be designated in accordance with “1.” The co-chair may, in this instance, be the Director of Graduate Studies in the student’s program if a faculty member with field expertise is not available to serve in this capacity. 

Please note:

• “On ladder” refers to faculty members with tenure or who are tenure-track. The phrase “on ladder” is generally not used at HMS, but all HMS and HCSPH assistant, associate, and full professors are considered to be “on ladder” according to HMS Faculty Affairs, and, for the purposes of this legislation, may serve on the DAC/defense committee. 
• With regard to paragraph 3.b.ii, and in keeping with the spirit of this legislation, ordinarily a scholar appointed as a College Fellow would not be ready to serve as one of the three core members of the committee. 
• With regard to paragraph 3.b.iv, individuals who do not fit this category (e.g., a scholar holding a non-ladder faculty position at another institution) may sit on the committee as a fourth member, in accordance with paragraph 3.d.  
• On the rare occasion that a situation requires special consideration, programs are advised to consult with the Dean of Harvard Griffin GSAS.  

Grandfathering

Grandfathering, and rules applying to all dissertation advisory committees, regardless of status prior to July 1, 2024:  

For dissertation advisory committees approved before July 1, 2024 under the former policy ( Two signatories must be members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS); FAS emeriti (including research professors) and faculty members from other Schools at Harvard who hold appointments on Harvard Griffin GSAS degree committees are authorized to sign DACs as FAS members. Harvard Griffin GSAS strongly recommends that the chair of the dissertation committee be a member of the FAS. If approved by the department, it is possible to have co-chairs of the dissertation committee as long as one is a member of FAS) , the following rules apply:   

Dissertation Advisory Committees approved prior to July 1, 2024 will be grandfathered, except in two situations:  

• An existing DAC chaired by an individual whose faculty appointment does not meet the requirements of the new rules will need to be adjusted. A co-chair should be designated, with the option of appointing the DGS to serve as co-chair, as allowed in paragraph 3.e.iii;  
• An existing DAC with fewer than three members should be updated, and the new member(s) should be consistent with the new policy.

DESIGNING TUNABLE VISCOELASTIC HYDROGELS FOR STUDYING PANCREATIC CANCER CELL FATE

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common and lethal pancreatic cancer subtype. The silent tumor progression and aggressive development of chemo-resistance are the primary factors behind the dismal 13% 5-year survival rate. The tumor microenvironment (TME) has been the focus of many pancreatic cancer research since the TME actively interacts with cancer cells to promote tumor growth, drug resistance, and invasion. A thorough comprehension of PDAC cell and TME interaction is crucial to uncover the mechanism and key regulators behind PDAC’s rapid progression, high propensity for metastasis, and exceptional resistance to cancer therapeutics. Hydrogels have emerged as invaluable tools for investigating cell-matrix communication in three-dimensional (3D) environments, as their chemical and mechanical properties can be easily tuned to mimic the dynamic nature of native tissue. However, current biomimetic hydrogels used in PDAC models are elastic and often lack tissue-relevant viscoelastic properties, such as hysteresis and stress-relaxation. Stress-relaxation influences various cellular processes, including differentiation, proliferation, and cancer progression. This dissertation aims to address this gap by introducing viscoelasticity and fast stress relaxation into existing hydrogel platforms to more accurately replicate PDAC tissue mechanics. Specifically, we employ two chemistries: thiol-norbornene photopolymerization and boronic ester dynamic bonding to fabricate gelatin-based hydrogels. Gels formed solely via irreversible thiol-norbornene chemistry exhibit elasticity and slow stress-relaxation, while gels formed with both thiol-norbornene and reversible boronic ester bonds display viscoelastic properties and fast stress-relaxation. Cell-laden hydrogels with varying mechanical properties (low vs high stiffness, slow vs fast relaxation) were used as tools to explore the effects of matrix stiffening and viscoelasticity in promoting cancer aggressiveness. It was revealed that matrix stiffening, coupled with the inclusion of cancer-associated fibroblast induced the epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype (EMT) in pancreatic cancer cells. In addition, fast-relaxing hydrogels promoted cancer cell survival, growth, and EMT via engaging integrin β-1 (ITGB1). Blocking of ITGB1 receptors diminished cell growth, however, cells in fast-relaxing gels upregulated SNAIL1, a biomarker of poor cancer prognosis. Collectively, results from these studies describe our recent progress in understanding the mechanism by which stiff and viscoelastic substrates facilitate cancer development and how cellular functions can be controlled via modulating cell receptor-matrix binding.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.

In the Russian part of the European craton, several thousands of subcircular structures ranging in size from a hundred meters to several kilometers in diameter have been identified throughout the region extending from Moscow to Kazakhstan. Generally, these structures correspond to minor morphological depressions. In cultivated areas, the periphery of these structures is often outlined by a ring of soil bleaching associated with growth anomalies of vegetation. The cores of the structures commonly correspond to marshes, sometimes with lakes. Subsoil gas composition of these structures was studied. For this purpose, portable gas detectors were used, and the results obtained were confirmed by gas chromatography analysis. Inside and around these structures, the concentration of molecular hydrogen in soil was much greater inside than outside, up to 1.25% at 1.2 m in soils. The hydrogen is associated with a small quantity of methane. We estimated a daily hydrogen flow seeping out at the surface is between 21,000 and 27,000 m 3 in one of these structures.
