An Efficient Photoelectrochemical Hydrogen Evolution System using Silicon Nanomaterials with Ultra‐High Aspect Ratios
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag, 2014-11)
We fabricated ultra‐high aspect ratio silicon nanomaterials, including a silicon nanomesh and silicon nanowire array, on a wafer scale for efficient photoelectrochemical hydrogen production. These silicon nanomaterials ...
Overcoming Cancer Multidrug Resistance by Codelivery of Doxorubicin and Verapamil with Hydrogel Nanoparticles
(Humana PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014-08)
The efficacy of chemotherapy is often inhibited by multidrug resistance (MDR). A highly engineerable hydrogel nanoparticle (NP) serves as a carrier for the optimal codelivery to tumor cells of the chemodrug, doxorubicin ...
Label‐free profiling of skeletal muscle using high‐definition mass spectrometry
(Departments of Environmental Health and Biostatistics, University of Washington, Seattle, WAWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014-10)
PCASSO: A fast and efficient Cα‐based method for accurately assigning protein secondary structure elements
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014-09-15)
Understanding and Treating Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection: A Multi-Scale Modeling Approach.
(2014)
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains a significant burden on global health. Central to both host immune responses and antibiotic treatment are structures known as granulomas. ...
Novel Methods for Rheological Characterization of Polymers and Polymeric Biofilms.
(2014)
This dissertation reports that environmental conditions significantly impact the bulk mechanical properties of Staphylococcus epidermidis bacterial biofilms. Bacterial biofilms are commonly found as infections of implanted ...
Synthesis and Assembly of Anisotropic Ellipsoidal Particles.
(2014)
We create complex non-close packed assemblies from ellipsoidal anisotropic particles using external electric fields in this dissertation. Spherical colloidal particles have long been self-assembled into close-packed 2-D ...
Microbial Utilization of Aqueous Co-Products from Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata.
(2014)
Algae biomass is a promising source of liquid biofuels. Hydrothermal liquefaction can convert wet algae biomass into a “biocrude” oil with similar properties to crude petroleum, but it also produces an aqueous co-product ...
Layered Nanocomposite for Neural Prosthetic Devices.
(2014)
The motivation of this dissertation is developing neural prosthetic devices for chronic brain-computer interface. To maintain a chronically sustainable brain-computer interface, implantable devices should have minimal ...
