The increasing interest in the medical application of nanotechnology has heightened the need for synthesizing nanoparticles with well-defined dimensions and multifunctionalities. Studies on template synthesis demonstrate ...

In proteomic research, experimental and computational approaches are combined to provide global analysis of the entire proteomes of cells and tissues. The identification and quantification of multiple proteins, which ...

Vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS) is a surface specific nonlinear technique that provides vibrational spectra of molecules at interfaces. Studies presented in this thesis use VSFS to examine surface structure ...

Analysis of the chemical/biological species involved in health care is the most important step for diseases diagnosis and new drug screening. Barcoded nano/microparticles are attracting more and more interest for detection ...

With the completion of the human genome project, the proteomics has become the focus of research interest for better understanding the complex biological processes. The mass spectrometry (MS) detection of vast number and ...

Zintl anions are best described as polyatomic main group clusters (i.e. E73-; E = P, As, Sb) with structures characteristic of isoelectronic clusters (i.e. hydrocarbon and borohydride clusters). Combining these main ...

ABSTRACT Peroxyl and other radical oxidants react with stable cyclic nitroxides, such as the piperidinyl and pyrrolidinyl nitroxides to form initially the one electron oxidation product, the oxoammonium cation. For most ...

The ubiquity of air pollution in the Mid-Atlantic and northeastern U.S. is a major concern for human and ecological health as well as the climate. Between February 2001 and February 2004, 160 flights on a light aircraft ...

This dissertation has two objectives; the first is to investigate speciation of three d10 metals (Ag(I), Hg(II) and Pb(II)) in sulfidic solutions containing As(III) to determine if thioarsenite could act as a ligand for ...

Numerous studies have shown an association between increased levels of particulate matter (PM) and the exacerbation of lung diseases. The exact means by which PM produces these effects remain unclear. Generation of reactive ...
