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...
The actinide elements are playing larger roles in modern life, finding uses in nuclear energy, remote power sources, medical uses as radiotherapy isotopes, as well as in geological applications in nuclear tools. However, due to their...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
Inorganic nanocrystals have garnered significant attention due to their unique physical and optical properties, spurring extensive research into their development for technological applications like electronic devices, solar cells, and...
Characterization of Emerging Contaminants from Weathered Fossil Fuel-Derived Materials as Revealed by Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FT-ICR MS)
Fossil fuel-derived materials are readily incorporated into the built environment without much knowledge about how they can impact the long-term well-being of natural ecosystems and public health. Ultrahigh resolution Fourier transform...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
From inside our bodies to the environment we live in, there are a wide variety of unknown compounds that have been difficult to identify and characterize through current methods. We aim to study these compounds by liquid chromatography ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Intermolecular interactions of metal-oxide bound molecules can have a substantial impact on the electrochemical and photophysical processes of molecules and their subsequent performances as catalysts, sensors, or electron injectors in...
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...
