Investigation and Optimization of Corrosion-resistant Electroless Ni-P Coating in Steam-assisted Gravity Drainage System
DownloadFall 2020
The boosting energy demand has propelled the increasing utilization of oil and gas resources, but severe corrosion occurs on traditional carbon steel materials. Driven by the harsh service conditions in steam-assisted gravity drainage system (SAGD) operations, a promising corrosion-resistant...

We develop a method for searching for Hajós constructions. Our results include the discovery of new constructions for some well-known graphs, including the Grötzsch graph, Chvátal graph, and Brinkmann graph; also, we prove that the first two of these are shortest possible constructions. These are...

Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel-based etalons and etalon arrays for determining the molecular weight of polymers in solution
Download2013
Serpe, Michael J., Islam, Molla R.
Positively and/or negatively charged poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-based microgels were deposited on a single substrate and isolated regions of Au overlayers were deposited on top of the microgels. Each spatially isolated Au overlayer region had a different thickness to make an etalon array. We...

Pyranopterin Coordination Controls Molybdenum Electrochemistry in Escherichia coli Nitrate Reductase
DownloadFall 2015
Molybdenum is an essential trace element for most species on the earth. Molybdoenzymes (enzymes containing Molybdenum) play diverse roles in human health, global geochemical cycles, and bacterial metabolism. Interestingly, nitrate reductase (NarGHI) isolated from the common gut bacterium...

Synthesis and Properties of Graphyne Model Compounds and an Electrochemical Study of Substituted Pentacenes
DownloadSpring 2013
The work described in this thesis focuses on two central topics: (1) the synthesis of carbon-rich macrocycles as model compounds of the carbon allotrope graphyne and the study of their electronic properties, and (2) the electrochemical investigation of the properties of substituted pentacene...

The Influence of Specific Ions and System Architecture on the Recognition and Reactivity of Two Charged Materials: DNA-Modified Gold Nanoparticle Aggregates and Planar Silica
DownloadFall 2014
DNA functionalized gold nanoparticles (GNP–DNA) offer simple colorimetric nucleic acid sensing with high selectivity and sensitivity. Consequently, they are promising in genetic profiling, disease diagnostics, and forensic applications. In the presence of a target nucleic acid, GNP–DNA forms...
