Towards Automated Epigenetics: Sample Processing with Droplet Microfluidics
(2018)
Epigenome regulates gene expression without changing the order of nucleotide sequences in DNA and has been confirmed to be involved in enormous numbers of biological processes including cell proliferation and differentiation, ...
The Plasma Water Reactor: A Geometric Approach to Scaling Electric Discharges for Water Treatment
(2019)
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are established disinfection methods that can remove contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) by producing hydroxyl radicals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ. Production ...
Investigation of the Optical Properties of Novel Organic Macromolecules for Solar Cell Applications.
(2015)
The search for renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuel has been a major research focus in the energy sector. The sun, with its vast amount of energy, remains the most abundant and ubiquitous energy source that far ...
Probing Heat Transport and Energy Conversion at the Atomic and Single Molecule Scale
(2018)
The study of heat transport and energy conversion constitutes an important subject in modern physics and engineering research. The widely-applied Fourier’s and Planck’s laws have proven to be very useful to describe heat ...
Systematic Improvement of Quantification and Formulation of Synthetic Protein Nanoparticles for Gene Delivery
(2022)
Gene therapy is a promising field for the generation of new and more effective therapies, but its application is stymied by the lack of safe and efficient delivery vehicles. Furthermore, gene delivery system optimization ...
Stochastic Modeling of the Formation of Aromatics in Combustion
(2021)
Understanding the formation of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in combustion not only bridges the knowledge gap between the small gas-phase species and incipient soot particles, but may also help address the global ...
