Understanding the Effects of Engineered Nanomaterials on Mammalian Cells and Plants Using a Mass Spectrometry Based Approaches
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Nanotechnology focuses on the development and application of materials in the nanoscale range. Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are usually defined as particles of 1-100 nm in size in at least one dimension, which have been ...
Catalytic Oxidation of Nitric Oxide Using Hyper-Cross-Linked Porous Polymers: Impact of Physiochemical Properties on Conversion Efficiency
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) to the atmosphere remain a threat to human health and the environment despite stringent regulations and decades of control technology development. A majority of emitted NOx is generated ...
Biological Assessment of Thioamide and Amide-Containing Chalcogenorhodamine Dyes as Photosensitizers for PDT of Cancer, ECP, and GVHD & Synthesis and Evaluation of Oligothiophene-Containing Chalcogenorhodamine Dyes for Biological and Photochemical Applications
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
The synthesis of chalcogenorhodamine dyes having biological applications as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer, extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) of malignant T-cells, and graft-versus-host disease ...
Involvement of lipids in cellular senescence
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Cellular senescence is a state of permanent cell-cycle arrest that occurs following an extended period of proliferation in culture or in response to stress. This phenomenon is characterized by dramatic morphological changes ...
Assessing Removal of Pharmaceutical Compounds in Conventional Wastewater Treatment and Ultraviolet-Peracetic Acid Advanced Oxidation Process and Development of a Comprehensive Analytical Method for the Quantification of Veterinary Antimicrobials Spanning Several Livestock Industries
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are contaminants of emerging concern. Two main pathways for PPCPs to enter into the environment is through the discharge of municipal wastewater into receiving water ...
Advances in Dynamic in Situ Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction to Understand the Structural Dynamics in Flexible Metal-Organic Frameworks and Develop Insight into Crystal Engineering
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of permanently porous coordination networks that form by metal ions coordinating to one another via organic linker molecules. These crystalline systems are primarily discussed ...
Developing Novel Charge-Carriers for High-Energy Density Aqueous and Non-Aqueous Redox Flow Batteries
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The main objective of this thesis has been to investigate new charge carriers for redox flow batteries (RFBs) to address stability, solubility, and energy density limitations in existing systems. Using cyclic voltammetry ...
Boron, Boron Hyperdoped Silicon and Silicon Nanoparticle Synthesis by Laser Pyrolysis with Applications in Energy Storage
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
This dissertation presents three examples of how laser pyrolysis synthesis can be used to develop new nanomaterials for energy applications. In the first chapter, we will discuss synthesis, characterization and application ...
