Synthesis, Characterization and Reactivity Study of Bis (Imino)-N-Heterocyclic Carbene Transition Metal Complexes
(2015-08-28)
Three generations of the first 1,3-bis(imino) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand precursors were synthesized, isolated and characterized. The synthetic methodologies of the ligand precursors were controlled by the iminic ...
Investigation of Air Pollutants Near the Great Lakes in Ontario and Along the Coast of California
(2015-08-28)
This dissertation is of two parts. In the first part, carbonyls were measured in Ridgetown, Ontario using an automated HPLC-DNPH system during the BAQS-Met study in 2007. Median concentrations for formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, ...
Facile Controlled Preparation of Multifunctional Core-Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles and Their Use in Microfluidic Separation
(2019-03-05)
Continuous microfluidic technology has proven to be a potential competitor with established batch systems for facilitating chemical synthesis and purification, and more amenable to miniaturization, integration, and automation. ...
Investigation of the Photoenhanced Reduction of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) on Organic Films and Above Soils as the Missing Source of Daytime Tropospheric Nitrous Acid (HONO)
(2015-01-26)
Recent observed unpredictably high HONO daytime concentrations, demanding its ordinarily proposed heterogeneous source to proceed > 60 times faster at noon than during the night, prompted this study, concerning the effect ...
Effect of Saline and Non-Specific Insulin Binding on the Phase Behavior of Poly (Ethylene Glycol)-Grafted Phosphoethanolamine-Succinyl Model Membranes
(2014-07-09)
Poly (ethylene glycol)-grafted membrane-mimetic surfaces bearing negatively charged phospholipid headgroups have gained significant attention due to their promising contributions in numerous biomedical applications. The ...
Synthesis, Characterization and Reactivity Study of Bis (Imino)-N-Heterocyclic Carbene Transition Metal Complexes
(2014-07-28)
Three generations of the first 1,3-bis(imino) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand precursors were synthesized, isolated and characterized. The synthetic methodologies of the ligand precursors were controlled by the iminic ...
Nocturnal Measurements of HONO, NO2 and NO3 by Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy in Polluted Marine and Urban Atmospheres
(2014-07-09)
Nitrogen oxides are ubiquitous throughout the lower atmosphere and significantly affect the chemistry of the atmosphere, air quality, and climate. A data-set obtained using differential optical absorption spectroscopy ...
Adsorption and Self-assembly of Proteins at Chemically Modified Surfaces
(2015-08-28)
Our research is mostly focused on the subject of adsorption and self-assembly of proteins at modified surfaces. We employed atomic force microscopy (AFM) to study bovine serum albumin (BSA) and insulin adsorption at 1-decene- ...
Development of Microfluidic Devices for Studying Protein Conformational Dynamics via HDX/TRESI-MS
(2014-07-28)
Studies of protein conformational dynamics can lead to a deeper understanding of biological functions of proteins, protein/protein interactions, catalysis and allostery. Most of the conformers involved in biological pathways ...
A Stable Dicationic Salt in Reactive DESI-MS Imaging in Positive Ion Mode to Analyze Biological Samples
(2015-12-16)
A dicationic salt was applied for imaging in reactive desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) on biological samples. The samples interrogated in this experiment were whole body zebrafish tissues and ...
