This work summarizes the development of several novel separation techniques and characterization methods for petroleum products. The first section summarizes the development of a new method for screening petroleum crude oils for the...
Out of interest in better exploring the nature of actinide bonding, investigations have been undertaken which confront the problem of the unusual character of covalency as it occurs in the 5f elements by utilizing multiple analytical...
Petroleum, one of the most complex mixtures on Earth, has been extensively studied for decades. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) and the ultrahigh resolution it provides, however, has dramatically...
The work in this dissertation presents a microfluidic method for the quantitative measurement of insulin secretion rates and patterns from single pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Proper release of insulin from islets is essential for...
The work in this dissertation presents microfluidic methods developed for the study of biological dynamics. The requirements for the methods development was to create approaches with the ability to perform dynamic cell stimulation, ...
Society today is still very dependent on petroleum, the most complex naturally occurring mixture on the planet. Ultrahigh resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) has been employed to...
Major hallmarks of cancer include metastasis and evading the immune system. Despite cutting edge treatments developed in an era of extensive cancer research, immunotherapy has not been proven efficient enough in solid tumors, and...
Cashews are the number one produced tree nut worldwide and the U.S. is the top importer. Despite their popularity and economic importance, cashews are frequently implicated in IgE-mediated food allergy. Food allergy is an increasingly...
