Self -healing polymers microencapsulate biomacromolecules without organic solvents.
(2009)
Microencapsulation of medicines in modern polymeric biomaterials plays a crucial role in success of long-term injectable depots, drug-eluting stents, tissue engineering scaffolds, and blood-circulating nanoparticles. Until ...
Metallacrown as a host in host -guest chemistry.
(2008)
This dissertation investigated the structural study of host 15-MC-5 complexes and guest organic carboxylates. The metallacrowns were prepared with L-pheHA, S-phenylglycineHA, L-tryptophaneHA, L-3-methoxy-pheHA, and ...
The roles of cellular chaperones in positive sense RNA virus replication complex assembly and function.
(2009)
Positive strand (+) RNA viruses are a significant health threat today, yet the diseases that they cause are difficult to treat due to a lack of antiviral drugs, which is in part due to the tight association of their ...
Mouse von Willebrand factor: A model for endothelial-specific gene expression.
(2009)
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) mediates the adhesion of platelets to sites of vascular injury and acts as a carrier for coagulation factor VIII. Qualitative or quantitative defects in VWF result in von Willebrand disease, the ...
Process Monitoring and Quality Control in Hot Rolling Processes Using Image Sensing Data.
(2012)
Quality control in hot rolling processes has been a critical concern. The objective of this study is to thoroughly utilize an emerging new image sensing system for the online monitoring and diagnosis of hot rolling processes ...
Internal kinematics of dwarf spheroidal galaxies.
(2007)
In a Universe that grows its galactic structure via mergers, the smallest galaxies serve as raw materials. The dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies in the Local Group are the smallest and faintest galaxies known, and are likely ...
Family adaptation after a recent diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis of a household family member in Sisaket Province, Thailand.
(2007)
<italic>Background</italic>. Tuberculosis (TB) morbidity in Thailand is high and rising as interplay among biological, psychological, sociocultural, socioeconomic, and structural factors affect TB-related behaviors, dynamics ...
Optimal design of compliant systems for dynamic applications.
(2007)
Although dynamic performance of a compliant mechanism is critical for many applications, majority of the research reported in the literature to date is limited to kinetostatic performance. The objective of this research ...
Rejoining of DNA double -strand breaks with complex end structures.
(2007)
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are considered the most dangerous form of DNA damage because they are lethal to the cell if unrepaired, and can cause large-scale genome rearrangements if repaired incorrectly. Such rearrangements ...
A microfabricated preconcentrator for sample extraction and injection in microscale gas chromatography.
(2006)
This thesis details the development of a microfabricated preconcentrator that functions as an extractor-injector for a microscale gas chromatograph. The realized device enables parts-per-billion detection and quantitative ...
