Atmospheric chemistry of cyclohexanone: UV spectrum and kinetics of reaction with chlorine atoms
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-05)
Absolute and relative rate techniques were used to study the reactivity of Cl atoms with cyclohexanone in 6 Torr of argon or 800–950 Torr of N 2 at 295 ± 2 K. The absolute rate experiments gave k (Cl + cyclohexanone) = ...
Physicochemical properties of blue fluorescent protein determined via molecular dynamics simulation
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-12)
Blue fluorescent protein (BFP) is a mutant of green fluorescent protein (GFP), where the chromophore has been modified to shift the emitted fluorescence into the blue spectral region. In this study, MD calculations were ...
Computational and Rheological Study of Wax Deposition and Gelation in Subsea Pipelines.
(2008)
Highly waxy crude oils can cause significant problems such as blockage of a pipeline because of the precipitation and deposition of select wax components during the production and transportation of the crude oil. The cost ...
Directing Vascular Cells by Cyclic Tensile Strain: Contextual Role in Angiogenesis.
(2008)
Mechanical stretch, a normal physiologic signal in the vascular system, regulates vascular development and regeneration, but the mechanisms underlying these endothelial (EC) and smooth muscle cell (SMC) responses remain ...
Chemometric Methods for the Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds with Microsensor Arrays.
(2008)
This research addresses critical chemometric modeling and data analysis functions needed to guide the design and implementation of novel meso-scale and micro-scale instrumentation that incorporates chromatographic separation ...
Brownian Dynamics Simulation of Dilute Polymer Chains.
(2008)
Local motion of polymers is extremely important while studying the behavior of single strand DNA in DNA unzipping and replication, understanding rheological properties of polymers in confined in narrow gaps for head-disk ...
Universal Scaling of Linear and Nonlinear Rheological Properties of Semidilute and Concentrated Polymer Solutions.
(2008)
This dissertation examines the universal rheological behavior of linear polymers in solution. The universality of the dependence of zero-shear viscosity on concentration for both flexible and semiflexible polymers in good ...
