Sequential graft-Interpenetrating polymer networks based on polyurethane and acrylic/ester copolymers
(2015-12-04)
Highly transparent and tough graft-interpenetrating polymer networks (graft-IPNs) were synthesized using an elastomeric polyurethane phase (PU) and a highly stiff acrylate-base copolymer phase. The grafting points between ...
Sequestosome 1/p62 and TRAF6 are necessary for Akt ubiquitination, translocation and activation
(2014-11-24)
Defects in protein-protein interactions of the insulin signaling pathway result in insulin resistance that precedes type 2 diabetes. The protein Akt is the primary modulator of cellular glucose uptake through the GLUT4 ...
Sequestosome 1/p62 and TRAF6 serve as a bridge to connect IRS-1 with Akt in insulin signaling
(2013-04-08)
Abnormalities in the insulin-signaling pathway might result in insulin resistance, contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes. Previous studies have established the involvement of p62 in the insulin-signaling pathway ...
Sequestration of Cadmium Using Stabilized Iron-based Nanoparticles and Removal of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Using Ion Exchange Resins and Photo-regenerable Adsorbent
(2021-11-29)
Over years, I have been involved in several research projects that are highly cross-disciplinary. As such, the dissertation encompasses sequestration of cadmium (Cd) in contaminated water and soil using novel stabilized ...
Sequestration of Co2 by Chemically Reactive Aqueous K2co3 in High Efficiency Adsorbents Using Microfibrous Media Entrapped Support Particulates
