Receptor models have been widely used in air quality studies to identify pollution sources and estimate their contributions. A common problem for most current receptor models is insufficient consideration of realistic ...

A large reservoir of methane exists in marine sediments. The fate of methane is of particular concern in the Arctic, a region that has already demonstrated sensitivity to climate change. The removal of this potent ...

The dissertation addressed challenges in the nanostructure synthesis, applied the materials to engineering fields, such as lithium battery material, fluorescent and magnetic drug deliveries; and developed new characterization ...

Our goal is to develop an effective work flow for analysis of intact proteins in a complex mixture using the LC-LTQ-Orbitrap XL. Intact protein analysis makes the entire sequence available for characterization, which allows ...

The utilization of MnO₂ nanowire arrays for future light weight energy storage devices is investigated here. One of the more specific questions this work looks to answer is: Can ultra high density arrays of ...

Platensimycin/platencin are recently discovered natural products that inhibit membrane formation in bacteria and cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP) is a master regulator of bacterial biofilm formation. The rise of bacterial ...

Transdermal drug delivery has created new applications for existing therapies and offered an alternative to the traditional oral route where drugs can prematurely metabolize in the liver causing adverse side effects. Opening ...

Quinone methides (QM) can be delivered to alklyate specific sites with a single strand DNA through target promoted alkylation. Previous experimental results indicated that alkylation by DNA-QM self-adduct was too slow for ...

Mukaiyama-type condensation reactions of 3-<italic>tert</italic>-butyldimethylsiloxy-2-diazo-3-butenoate and different electrophiles are effective methods for the synthesis of highly substituted diazoacetoacetates. With ...

Metal nanostructures can enhance the optical signals by orders of magnitude due to surface plasmon resonance. This field enhancement of the plasmonic nanostructures has led to optical detection and light manipulation beyond ...
