Spring 2022
Nanomaterials based upon Group 14 elements (i.e., silicon and germanium) are drawing a great deal of attention from researchers since they are biocompatible and exhibit unique optical and electronic properties. Surface functionalization, which is one of the most critical aspects of nanomaterial...

Synthesis of fragments of a polysaccharide from Nocardia nova for structural and biological studies
DownloadSpring 2020
Nocardia are gram-positive bacteria. Nocardia nova is one of the Nocardia species and can cause serious disease, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Rapid diagnosis of N. nova can be lifesaving. The cell wall of N. nova contains an unusual glucose-modified arabinogalactan polysaccharide...

Synthetic Main Group and Transition Metal Targets for Electronic and Photovoltaic Applications
DownloadFall 2012
The work presented herein is focused on the synthesis and characterization of inorganic materials for potential use in electronic and photovoltaic applications. Platinum containing complexes of the form LxPt(SC4H2Br)2 (x = 1, L = dppe, dppp; x = 2, L = PBu3, PAr3), were synthesized using...

The Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Multivalent Heterobifunctional Ligands Specific for Shiga Toxin 1 and Shiga Toxin 2
DownloadSpring 2014
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a potential life-threatening condition caused by infection with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7. There are two major types of Shiga toxins, namely, Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2), of which, Stx2 is clinically most closely associated...

Spring 2022
Iron-sulfur clusters are recognized widely as ancient cofactors that are proposed to have impacted the prebiotic chemistry that led to life. Previous work done by our lab has shown that iron-sulfur clusters could be synthesized prebiotically on cysteine containing tripeptides, but it remains...

Spring 2014
The spontaneous assembly of polypeptides through non-covalent interactions at physiological conditions is the main focus of the presented work and will be discussed from two different perspectives: (i) the interaction of peptide chains with themselves leading to formation of higher order...

Thermodynamic Investigation of the Effect of Interface Curvature on Solid-Liquid Equilibrium and Its Application to Zinc-Air Battery Electrolyte at Low Temperature
DownloadSpring 2018
Micro and nanoscale confinements and local curvatures, which are ubiquitous in natural and man-made materials and systems, cause significant impact on thermodynamic phase behavior. This effect has been extensively studied for single component solid's liquid phase transitions, but rarely for...

Tools and Methodologies for The Rapid Determination and Transfer of Thermodynamic Parameters used in the Prediction of Gas Chromatographic and Two Dimensional Comprehensive Gas Chromatographic Retention Times
DownloadFall 2014
Three parameter thermodynamic predictive models have been shown previously to provide superior accuracy in the prediction of gas chromatographic retention times in comparison to other forms of modelling such as retention indices. However, these models suffer from the need for extensive...
