Solid electrolyte interphases on graphite anodes and sulfur cathodes
(2018)This dissertation describes chemical compositions and fundamental mechanisms of formation of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers on a graphite anode and a microporous carbon/sulfur cathode. Direct analysis on the ... -
ESTIMATION AND ANALYSIS OF CELL-SPECIFIC DNA METHYLATION FROM BISULFITE-SEQUENCING DATA
(2018)DNA methylation is the best understood heritable gene regulatory mechanism that does not involve direct modification of DNA sequence itself. Cells with different methylation profiles (over temporal or micro-environmental ... -
DYNAMIC ONTOLOGIES THAT ENCODE AND MANAGE RELEVANCE IN CONTEXT AWARE SYSTEMS
(2018)Context aware systems, to date, tend to fall into one of two categories: domain specific or generic across multiple domains. Domain specific systems are single-use instances – that is, establishing the ability to manage ... -
A BIOPHYSICAL PERSPECTIVE ON COLLECTIVE CELL MIGRATION AND MATHEMATICAL MODELING IN PHYSICS FOR THE LIFE SCIENCES
(2018)This dissertation pulls from the fields of physics, biology, and education to address novel problems both in current biological research on collective cell migration and in a reformed introductory physics for life science ... -
Effect of electrostatic interactions on biomolecular self-assembly processes
(2018)Molecular level self-assembly processes are not only ubiquitous in living cells, but also widely applied in industry to synthesize and fabricate a variety of nanoscale biomaterials. The emergence of ordered aggregates from ...
