Asphaltenes are the heaviest fraction of crude oils. Asphaltenes are composed of carbon rings with aliphatic side chains, and they are precipitated from crude oils with small-chain alkanes, such as pentane or heptane. This complex class of molecules can be problematic during oil extraction,...

Towards a Better Understanding of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Microgel-Based Etalons and their Continued Development in Diagnostics
DownloadFall 2013
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgel-based etalons are photonic materials that exhibit color based on temperature or other environmental stimuli. These materials provide a new and unique method for biosensing and other applications. Therefore it is important to understand these materials...

Towards Molecular Quantum Computing: Laser Pulse Shaping of Quantum Logic Gates on Diatomic Molecules
DownloadFall 2012
The intent of this study is to determine the feasibility of diatomics as molecular quantum computing candidates and shed insight into the use of such experimental laser pulse shaping methods to represent quantum logic gates. Four appropriate rovibrational states of model diatomic molecules are...

Towards superior cancer drugs by modeling approaches: Modification and prediction of the mode of action
DownloadFall 2021
Cancer is a leading cause of death that imposes significant economic and social suffering on a global scale. Based on the projected growth and ageing of populations, the global burden of cancer is set to increase. Despite the vast investment in cancer research, the rate of translation of research...
