First-principles Modeling of the Surface Reactivity of Transition Metals with Perturbed Electronic Properties
(2011)
The surface reactivity of transition metals can be varied substantially by introducing perturbations into the electronic system. Previously, the electronic properties of transition metal surfaces have been tailored for ...
Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Switch-Like Responses Arising from Multisite Protein Phosphorylation.
(2011)
Switch-like responses are important regulatory features of biological processes involving
binary decisions such as cell division. Multisite protein phosphorylation is a proposed
mechanism for achieving switch-like behaviors. ...
Mesoscale modeling and computational simulation studies of the self-assembly of heterogeneous colloidal systems.
(2010)
Over the last two decades researchers have advanced the field of colloidal synthesis
by developing new synthesis techniques. Colloidal particles are known to self-assemble
into various unique architectures. However, there ...
Evaluating the Effect of a Strong Metal-Support Interaction on the Activity of Molybdenum Carbide Supported Platinum Water-Gas Shift Catalysts.
(2010)
The goal of this research was to understand an apparent strong interaction between platinum and molybdenum carbide (Mo2C), and its effect on the water-gas shift (WGS) activity of Pt/Mo2C catalysts. The state of the art ...
Engineering the Quantitative PCR Assay for Decreased Cost and Complexity.
(2011)
The quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is an assay of target nucleic acid concentration. Clinical applications of quantitative PCR include measurement of HIV viral load, measurement of bacterial infection, and ...
Formal Cycloadditions Driven by the Homolytic Opening of Strained, Saturated Ring Systems
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-01-23)
The field of strain-driven, radical formal cycloadditions is experiencing a surge in activity motivated by a renaissance in free radical chemistry and growing demand for sp3-rich ring systems. The former has been driven ...
Superior Metal-Organic Framework Activation with Dimethyl Ether
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2022-12-23)
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are demonstrated to be readily activated by treatment with the low surface tension, low boiling point solvent dimethyl ether (DME). The mildness of the method enables access to high surface ...
Transparent and Self-Healing Elastomers for Reconfigurable 3D Materials
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2022-12)
Transparent soft materials are widely used in applications ranging from packaging to flexible displays, wearable devices, and optical lenses. Nevertheless, soft materials are susceptible to mechanical damage, leading to ...
Top-down enrichment of oil field microbiomes to limit souring and control oil composition during extraction operations
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2022-12)
Microbial processes sour oil, corrode equipment, and degrade hydrocarbons at an annual global cost to the oil and gas industry of nearly $2 billion. However, top-down control of these microbial processes can reduce their ...
High Temperature Photocatalysis over Semiconductors.
(2012)
Due in large part to in prevalence of solar energy, increasing demand of energy production
(from all sources), and the uncertain future of petroleum energy feedstocks,
solar energy harvesting and other photochemical ...
