Block copolymer structuring in ionic liquids
(2013)
Ionic liquid and block copolymer interactions as reflected in the structural characteristics of self-assembled microstructures are yet to be systematically investigated. Fundamental knowledge is required so as to specifically ...
Design, Growth, and Characterization of Mid Infrared and Terahertz Detectors Based on Nanostructures
(2013)
In the first part of the dissertation, I present the design, growth, and characterization a multi-color quantum well infrared photodetecor (QWIP). The QWIP is based on GaAs/Al0.2Ga0.8As coupled double-quantum-well structure ...
Palladium-porphyrin-crosslinked phosphorescenct hydrogels for oxygen sensing
(2014)
Porphyrins chelated with palladium group metals can serve as effective oxygen-responsive biosensors based on near infrared (NIR) luminescence reporting. Recently, more and more papers were published for researching on ...
Fabrication and characterization of MOSCAP on bulk beta-gallium oxide substrate with ALD silicon dioxide
(2015)
Beta-gallium oxide (beta-Ga 2 O 3 ) has recently attracted a lot of attention because of its very high Baliga's figure of merit (BFOM), which indicates a good application prospect for it in the field of power electronics. ...
An unconditionally stable spectral method for an isotropic thin-film equation
(2013)
Mathematical models for thin-film evolution equations and their coarsening behavior have been extensively studied, however a challenge for computer simulations is finding time stepping algorithms that evolve large systems ...
High Throughput Engineering Of Split Intein With Improved Trans-Splicing Kinetics And Novel Split Intein Mediated Modular Synthesis
(2014)
Inteins are internal elements that can be found in organisms in all three domains of life and offer a number of attractive methods for biotechnology applications. The applications of intein include tagless protein purification, ...
Analysis of Carbon Nanotubes under Electrical and Mechanical Stresses: A Study of the Influence of Non-Equilibrium Lattice Vibrations and Strain Deformation
(2014)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted a lot of attention recently due to their impressive thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties. Recent advances in CNT technology have allowed the development of a CNT computer ...
Systematic trends in results from different density functional theory models
(2015)
The quantum mechanical properties of molecular and condensed matter systems are commonly calculated using Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT). Its favorable balance of accuracy and computational cost has made DFT the ...
Mannosylated bio-synthetic hybrids for targeted antigen presenting cell gene delivery
(2015)
The aim of gene delivery research is to develop clinically pertinent vectors that can be used to combat elusive diseases. Moreover, gene modulation efficacy of nonviral vectors have been hindered by numerous in vitro and ...
Optimal L1-principal component analysis on reconfigurable hardware
(2015)
An accomplished alternative to L 2 principal components in the case of outlying data and useful for dimensionality reduction, L 1 principal components play an increasingly important role in many scientific and engineering ...
