Chemical Ecology of Some Underexplored Aspects of Plant-Herbivore-Parasitoid Tritrophic Interactions
(2017-11-28)
Plants, herbivorous insects and their natural enemies are involved in an intricate tritrophic interaction in a complex chemical environment. Herbivore infested plants, as well as plant-fed herbivores release volatile organic ...
Chemical Factors Influencing Colloid Mobilization and Th(IV) Transport through Saturated Subsurface Sediment
(2012-07-10)
In recent years, subsurface colloid mobilization has attracted considerable attention due to its suspected role in enhancing the transport of strongly adsorbing contaminants. Such colloid-facilitated contaminant transport ...
Chemical Functionalization of Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes for Compatibilization with Unsaturated Polyester Resin
(2012-05-10)
This research represents the first fundamental investigation into the tailored surface chemistry of single-walled carbon nanotubes for incorporation with unsaturated polyester resin and provides a foundation for the ...
Chemical Sensing Employing pH Sensitive Emeraldine Base Thin Film for Carbon Dioxide Detection
(2006-08-15)
Respiration, or CO2 evolution, is a universal indicator for all the biological activities. Among many potential applications, the measurement of CO2 evolution has been found to be a rapid and nondestructive means for ...
Chemical Treatments for Reducing the Yellow Discoloration of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Fillets
(2012-04-18)
Three sets of experiments were conducted to investigate effects of various chemical pretreatments on the color and carotenoid changes of yellow discolored channel catfish fillets. First, the relationship between fresh ...
Chemically Modified Electrodes: A Supramolecular Assembly Approach
(2008-12-15)
The main objective of this dissertation is to design and study new superamolecular assemblies for membrane separation, sensing and catalysis applications. Three types of supramolecular assemblies will be addressed including ...
A Chemiresistor Sensor Array for Insect Infestation Detection
(2012-05-03)
Plants emit volatile organic compounds as a defensive mechanism to protect themselves from insects and pathogens. These volatile organic chemicals, also known as phytochemicals, are given off during the early stages of ...
Chemistry in silico: Organic Reactions, Ionic Liquids, Tautomerization
(2013-04-22)
Computational chemistry is a collection of methods that seek to interpret and predict chemical phenomena. In this work, three distinct areas of chemistry are investigated: (1) the reactive pathways of UVA irradiated ...
Chemokine ccl33 is a key regulator of fish barbel development
(2017-07-22)
Barbels are integumentary sense organ that can be found in fishes, reptiles and amphibians. Barbel structures are relatively simple, consisting of central rod of cartilage, nerve trunk, artery and taste bud. The cell types ...
Chemokine Receptor CXCR7 in Vascular Biology and Disease
(2018-04-16)
Initially CXCR4 was thought to be the exclusive receptor for SDF-1. However, the discovery of a new SDF-1 receptor CXCR7, made the picture more complex. Whether CXCR7 is a “scavenger” receptor or not is still in debate. ...
Chemometric Modeling of the Structural Integrity, Chemistry and Bioenergy Potential of Elite Loblolly Pine Families and Forest Biomass
(2016-12-12)
