Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of New Palladium(III) Complexes
(2014-06-06)
Palladium is one of the most common and versatile transition metals used in modern organometallic chemistry. The chemistry of palladium in its 0, +II, and +IV oxidation states is well-known; by comparison, the chemistry ...
Detection of Single-Molecule Optical Absorption at Room Temperature and Mechanistic Study of Transcriptional Bursting
(2014-06-06)
Advances in optical imaging techniques have allowed quantitative studies of many biological systems. This dissertation elaborates on our efforts in both developing novel imaging modalities based on detection of optical ...
Small-molecule probes to explore cancer
(2014-06-06)
Small molecules play important roles in therapeutics and drug discovery. Significant progress has been made by the chemical biology community to discover small-molecule probes to explore biological processes and to treat ...
Global Modeling of Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation from Aromatic Hydrocarbons: High- vs. Low-Yield Pathways
(European Geosciences Union, 2008)
Formation of SOA from the aromatic species toluene, xylene, and, for the first time, benzene, is added to a global chemical transport model. A simple mechanism is presented that accounts for competition between low and ...
Measurement of the Absolute Raman Cross Section of the Optical Phonons in Type Ia Natural Diamond
(Elsevier, 2012)
The absolute Raman cross section \(\sigma_{RS}\)of the first-order \(1332-cm^{−1}\) optical phonons in type Ia natural diamond was measured using 785- and 1064-nm pump lasers for the excitation of Raman scattering. A small ...
Effect of Surfactant Hydrophobicity on the Pathway for Unfolding of Ubiquitin
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2012)
This paper describes the interaction between ubiquitin (UBI) and three sodium n-alkyl sulfates (SCnS) that have the same charge (Z = −1) but different hydrophobicity (n = 10, 12, or 14). Increasing the hydrophobicity of ...
Statistical Tools for Analyzing Measurements of Charge Transport
(American Chemical Society, 2012)
This paper applies statistical methods to analyze the large, noisy data sets produced in measurements of tunneling current density (J) through self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in large-area junctions. It describes and ...
Robust Error Correction in Infofuses
(The Royal Society, 2012)
An infofuse is a combustible fuse in which information is encoded through the patterning of metallic salts, with transmission in the optical range simply associated with burning. The constraints, advantages and unique error ...
Elastomeric Origami: Programmable Paper-Elastomer Composites as Pneumatic Actuators
(Wiley-VCH Verlag Berlin, 2012)
The development of soft pneumatic actuators based on composites consisting of elastomers with embedded sheet or fiber structures (e.g., paper or fabric) that are flexible but not extensible is described. On pneumatic ...
The Magnitude of Lift Forces Acting on Drops and Bubbles in Liquids Flowing Inside Microchannels
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2013)
Hydrodynamic lift forces offer a convenient way to manipulate particles in microfluidic applications, but there is little quantitative information on how non-inertial lift mechanisms act and compete with each other in the ...
