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 ...
Photochemical C(sp2)−H Pyridination via Arene–Pyridinium Electron Donor–Acceptor Complexes
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2022-11-14)
This report describes the development of a photochemical method for C(sp2)−H pyridination that leverages the photoexcitation of electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes. Experimental and DFT studies show that black light ...
Manning condensation in ion exchange membranes: A review on ion partitioning and diffusion models
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2022-11-01)
The rational design of ion exchange membranes (IEMs) is becoming more pertinent as their usage becomes broader and as their staple applications (i.e., electrodialysis, flow batteries, and fuel cells) improve in commercial ...
Computational Methods to Quantify Nanoparticle Interactions
(2023)
Nanoparticles have emerged as a promising class of materials with potential applications in a variety of diverse fields. Central to the study of nanoparticles is understanding how these structures interact with their ...
Identification of regulatory variants of carboxylesterase 1 (CES1): A proof-of-concept study for the application of the Allele-Specific Protein Expression (ASPE) assay in identifying cis-acting regulatory genetic polymorphisms
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-01)
It is challenging to study regulatory genetic variants as gene expression is affected by both genetic polymorphisms and non-genetic regulators. The mRNA allele-specific expression (ASE) assay has been increasingly used for ...
Chromatography and Anti-Biofilm Activity of Chiral Carbon Nanoparticles
(2023)
Biofilms have evolved to be resistant to natural and man-made antibiotics. The biochemical composition and barrier function of the extracellular polymeric substance prevent penetration of traditional antimicrobials reduce ...
Understanding the Aqueous-Phase Adsorption and Hydrogenation of Model Bio-Oil Molecules on Metals and Alloys
(2023)
Valorization of biomass-derived molecules via aqueous-phase catalytic hydrogenation is a promising strategy for producing CO2-neutral fuels and chemicals to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and lower our greenhouse gas ...
Sustainable decision making for chemical process systems via dimensionality reduction of many objective problems
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2023-02)
Recent global events and the rise of sustainable investing have made clear that the chemical and energy industry must consider sustainability goals beyond profit maximization to remain competitive. Multiobjective optimization ...
Investigating Aqueous-Phase Adsorption for Enhancing (Electro)catalytic Hydrogenation
(2023)
Bio-oil derived from biomass and plastic wastes is a promising substitute to traditional petroleum for use as transportation fuels and chemical precursors and as such it has the potential to combat global warming. However, ...
