The Extension of Colloid Chemistry from Aqueous to Non-Aqueous Media with Application to Nanofluid Research
(2011-11-17)
Nanofluids are colloids whose design is specific to the study and application of heat transfer systems. Metals typically have thermal conductivities which are several times higher than that of traditional cooling liquids ...
Application of Novel Nanoscale Materials and Advanced Electrochemical Techniques in Heterogeneous Catalysis and Fabrication of Combinatorial Material Libraries by Bipolar Electrodeposition
(2011-09-08)
The advancements in the electrochemical technologies combined with the introduction of novel materials makes our lives a lot better. This work has two major divisions: (1) development of better electrocatalysts for fuel ...
Human Glutaminase Interacting Protein (GIP): a Potential Candidate for Anti-Cancer Drug Design
(2011-08-04)
PDZ domains are one of the most ubiquitous protein-protein interaction modules found in living systems. The glutaminase interacting protein (GIP), also known as the Tax interacting protein 1 (TIP-1), is a PDZ domain ...
Investigations of Laser Ablation and Laser-Induced-Plasma Ignition of Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX)
(2011-01-04)
Performance and sensitivity are two factors almost equally weighed when an explosive is considered in application. With a superb combination of high detonation power and low sensitivity to external stimuli, secondary ...
Elucidation of Cyclophilin Inhibition through Free Energy Perturbation Simulations and the Development of Custom Ionic Liquid Force Fields
(2011-07-27)
Cyclophilins (Cyp) are a family of cellular enzymes possessing peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity which catalyze the cis-trans interconversion of proline-containing peptide bonds. The two most abundant family members, CypA ...
8-Alkyl Adenines and Their Nucleoside Derivatives
(2011-07-28)
S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase has become an important target in the design of antiviral drugs. It is the only known enzyme in eukaryotes that is responsible for the catabolism of S-adenosylhomocysteine into adenosine ...
Redox Reactions in Polymeric Systems
(2011-05-06)
Reduction-Oxidization (redox) reactions performed in polymeric environments resulted in the reversible formation of stable silver nanoparticle and two reductive radicals. The reversible formation of stable silver nanoparticles ...
Mechanisms and Kinetics of Proton-Coupled Electron-Transfer Oxidation of Phenols
(2011-11-28)
The kinetics of the aqueous oxidation of phenol by a deficiency of [IrCl6]2– has been investigated. The reaction initially produces [IrCl6]3– and phenoxyl radicals. The inhibition caused by [IrCl6]3– can be prevented by ...
Metal Complexation and Extraction Studies of bis-dithiophosphinite Ligands
(2011-12-06)
Five bis(dithiophosphonite) ligands OR1a-OR3b were synthesized using Lawesson’s Reagent and analogs of Lawesson’s Reagent. Two of the ligands OR2a and OR3a, were used in extraction studies with uranyl nitrate. UV-Vis ...
