Designing Thermal Modulators for Portable GC x GC Systems.
(2015)
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have the advantage of scale and can be manufactured in bulk. One of the active areas of MEMS research is the development of micro-scale comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography ...
Structural Characterization and Impedance Spectroscopy of Substituted, Fused-Ring Organic Semiconductors.
(2011)
Organic materials present a number of advantages over silicon that make them ideal candidates for modest performance devices like active matrix backplanes and RFID tags. The work detailed here describes both structural ...
In Situ Polymerization via an Environmentally-borne Initiation Stimulus.
(2016)
The utilization of an environmentally-borne stimulus, atmospheric oxygen, has been convincingly demonstrated as a useful means for initiating in situ polymerization. As molecular oxygen is both ubiquitous and capable of ...
Plasma Discharges in Gas Bubbles in Liquid Water: Breakdown Mechanisms and Resultant Chemistry.
(2015)
The use of atmospheric pressure plasmas in gases and liquids for purification of liquids has been investigated by numerous researchers, and is highly attractive due to their strong potential as a disinfectant and sterilizer. ...
Disruption of Endosomal Membrane by Cationic Vectors Drives Endosomal Release and Enables Successful Gene Delivery
(2016)
The potential of gene therapy to treat congenital disorders is hindered by the lack of safe and effective delivery agents (vectors). More effective viral vectors possess several safety concerns but the safer non-viral ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Microporous Coordination Polymers as Adsorbents for CO2 Capture.
(2012)
The accumulation of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere is an important environmental issue, and coal-fired power plants are significant contributors to anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The capture of CO2 from these facilities via ...
Predicting the Formation Pathways and Morphologies of Oxygenated Carbonaceous Nanoparticle Precursors in Premixed Flames
(2017)
Organic nanoparticles are an inevitable by-product of combustion phenomena that have deleterious health and environmental effects. They are carcinogenic because they damage biological cells due to their small size and their ...
Development Of Microcompartmentalization Using Macromolecules And Liquid-Liquid Interfaces.
(2016)
Compartmentalization combined with regulated exchange and release of biomaterials is the key biological function. At the subcellular level, organelles sequester enzymes and substrates for storage while processing and ...
Biological Applications of Surfaces with Extreme Wettabilities
(2019)
Surfaces with extreme wettabilities have become an increasingly popular topic due to their wide range of applications – from simply keeping dirt off clothing to oil-water separation in the event of an oil spill. In particular, ...
An Experimental Investigation of Premixed Combustion in Extreme Turbulence
(2017)
This work has explored various aspects of high Reynolds number combustion
that have received much previous speculation. A new high-Reynolds number
premixed Bunsen burner, called Hi-Pilot, was designed to produce ...
