Electron transfer dynamics at the nanocrystalline semiconducting metal oxide interface plays a pivotal role in diverse applications such as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), dye-sensitized photoelectric solar cells (DSPECs), sensors...
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...
Human mesenchymal stem cells are a class of adult multipotent cells that are of interest to researchers for their clinical potential. While this cell type has been intensely investigated, there is still a significant amount to be learned...
Living systems consist of several complex interacting components. Depending on the complexity of the organism, these components can span from molecules to tissues and organs. Systems biology is the interdisciplinary field of study that...
Advances in nonlinear optical spectroscopy have been employed to investigate interactions between nanostructures and electromagnetic energy. These efforts are directed toward the larger goal of optimizing the structure of photonic...
Almonds are the number one tree nut produced in the U.S. and the number one consumed tree nut worldwide. Despite their economic, nutritional, and consumer value, almonds are among the top foods responsible for eliciting allergies in...
Soybeans (Glycine max. L), as one of the most widely grown crops, account for 90% of U.S. oilseed production. Despite their economic, nutritional, and consumer value, soybeans are among the top eight types of foods responsible for...
Characterization of Protein Sequence Variants and Posttranlational Modifications by Top-down Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry
Histone variants and post-translational modifications (PTMs) are known to play central roles in genome regulation and maintenance. Quantitavely characterization of the variants and the associated PTMs is the first step to understand...
The knowledge of actinide chemistry significantly lags behind the rest of the periodic table. Understanding the fundamental behavior of these elements is crucial for actinide separations and nuclear waste storage. Many separation...
Controlling particularly reactive substances to achieve desired outcomes is a constant challenge in materials chemistry. Reactants and products consisting of main group and transition metal elements often exhibit extreme sensitivity to...
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...
Exploration of High Temperature Ethanol/Water Mobile Phases as a Green Alternative to Traditional Reversed Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography
Reversed phase liquid chromatography is a common analytical technique employed in a variety of fields as a core component in many developmental and validation methods. Traditionally, this technique uses acetonitrile/water or methanol...
Excluding skin cancers, prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in American men. The American Cancer Society estimated 220, 800 new prostate cancer cases would be diagnosed in 2015. Prostate cancer is also the second...
Pancreatic islet beta-cells play a vital role in regulating blood glucose levels by releasing insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin is released in pulses that parallel interacting beta-cell rhythms, including oscillatory glucose...
Diabetes mellitus type 2 has been described as a global epidemic characterized by the inability of the body to effectively control blood glucose levels. The liver is a central regulator of glucose homeostasis and stores or manufactures...
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has become a prevailing technique at the interface of structural and cell biology. The current resolution revolution in cryo-EM has led to a surge of structures determination at near-atomic resolution....
Transparent hybrid polymers created through thiol-ene click chemistry were obtained. Methacrylate and acrylate capped zirconium oxo-clusters (ZOCs) were incorporated into two thiol-ene polymer networks. The vinyl capping groups...
Hydrogen is an element with increasing importance as we shift towards green and renewable energy sources. As such, the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen and materials which help store or produce hydrogen are necessary for the...
Polyelectrolytes are polymers consisting of charged repeat units resulting in a net charge for the macromolecules. Mixing oppositely charged polyelectrolytes creates polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC). Different types of complexes can be...
Pyrolysis oil has shown potential as an environmentally-friendly petroleum replacement for the production of fuel and chemicals. Also, the use of waste materials in the production of pyrolysis oil alleviates concerns associated with...
As the No.1 food plant protein in North America, soybean proteins have been comprehensively used as the major food ingredient in the human diet and animal feeding. Bioactive soybean lectin, also known as soybean agglutinin (SBA), is...
