A chemical climatology of lower tropospheric trace gases and aerosols over the Mid-Atlantic region
(2007-04-23)
Ozone and aerosols affect air quality, visibility and human health. The University of Maryland research aircraft conducted flights over the Mid-Atlantic region between 1995 and 2005 to characterize pollution events. I ...
Controlled Electrochemical Synthesis of Conductive Polymer Nanostructures and Electrochromism Property Study
(2007-09-14)
Conductive polymers have attracted the attention of many scientists in the whole world since Australians DE Weiss and coworkers reported high conductivity in oxidized iodine-doped polypyrrole, a polyacetylene derivative. ...
Integration of <18/sup>O Labeling and Solution Isoelectric Focusing in a Shotgun Analysis of Mitochondrial Proteins
(2007-06-04)
The coupling of efficient separations and mass spectrometry instrumentation is highly desirable to provide global proteomic analysis. When quantitative comparisons are part of the strategy, separation and analytical methods ...
PROTEOME ANALYSIS OF FORMALIN-FIXED AND PARAFFIN-EMBEDDED TISSUE
(2008-04-04)
Because of the long history of the use of formalin as the standard fixative for tissue processing in histopathology, these archival formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues present invaluable resources for ...
Resolution of PM sources using highly time resolved data and discrete particle size bins
(2006-05-26)
The goal of this project was to explore the use of particle size distribution data for distinguishing between local vs distant and controlled vs uncontrolled combustion sources. A two day period in July was selected for ...
AN IMPROVED PSEUDO-DETERMINISTIC RECEPTOR MODEL (iPDRM) TO APPORTION AMBIENT PM CONSTITUENTS TO SOURCES IN TAMPA, FL
(2009)
In 2005, Park et al., developed a new Pseudo-Deterministic Receptor Model (PDRM) to apportion SO2 and ambient particulate matter (PM) constituents to local sources near Tampa Bay. Ambient pollutant measurements were fit ...
SOLVENT BEHAVIOR IN HYDROPHOBIC SILICA NANOTUBES AND NANOTUBE MEMBRANES
(2005-12-13)
The development of template-synthesized silica nanotubes has created a unique opportunity for studying confined fluids by providing nanometer-scale containers in which, the inner diameter (i.d.) and surface chemistry can ...
THE OPTICAL KERR EFFECT OF LIQUIDS
(2006-12-19)
Optical Kerr effect (OKE) spectroscopy has found broad use in monitoring ultrafast dynamics in transparent media. I demonstrated that by using two pump pulses with independently-controllable polarizations, intensity and ...
Fenton &Fenton-like Reactions: The Nature of Oxidizing Intermediates Involved
(2005-08-03)
ABSTRACT
Title of Dissertation: FENTON & FENTON-LIKE REACTIONS: THE NATURE OF OXIDIZING INTERMEDIATES INVOLVED
Nixon Ogendi Mwebi, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005
Dissertation Directed by: Professor Neil ...
APPROACHES TO CHARACTERIZE UBIQUITIN CARBOXY-TERMINAL HYDROLASE L1 BY PROTEOLYTIC MAPPING
(2005-12-13)
Ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase-L1 is a member of a class of deubiquitinating enzymes that functions to bind and stabilize ubiquitin, and, thereby, plays a role in the protein degradation of targeted substrates. It ...
