  • Carbon Nanodots as Biolabels for Fluorescence Immunoassays

    Creator:
    Wu, Yuanyuan
    Abstract:
    There has been a tremendous growth in interest in carbon nanodots (C-dots) in the past several years. As a nascent nanomaterial, C-dots have shown great promise in applications that benefit from their superior water dispersibility, low toxicity, non-blinking fluorescent output, chemical and biological compatibility, ease of functionalization and resistance to...

    Kolattukudy, Pappachan Ettoop
    Abstract:
    The rate of the C¹⁴0₂ release from glucose, specifically labeled with C¹⁴ at 1, 2, 3+4, and positions, was used to study the relative participation of pathways of glucose catabolism in red beet slices. Evidence was obtained which indicated that in mature red beets glucose was catabolized mainly via glycolysis-tricarboxylic...

  • Design and application of a microcomputer automated multielement flame atomic fluorescence instrument

    Creator:
    Neyzari, Shahrokh Ghaffari
    Abstract:
    An automated multielement flame atomic fluorescence (AF) spectrometer based on microcomputer control was constructed to determine four elements simultaneously. The instrument employs a multiple exit slit monochromator where the light from various exit slits is directed to a single detector with a mirrored funnel. Each element is excited to fluoresce...

  • Intercalation, exfoliation, and nanocomposites of layered inorganic compounds

    Creator:
    Sukpirom, Nipaka
    Abstract:
    The melt intercalation of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) between layers of MoO₃ and MPS3 (M=Mn,Cd) is obtained by heating the ground mixture and LiₓMoO₃, KₓMn₁-ₓ/₂PS₃, or KCd₁-ₓ/₂PS₃. The products are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Below the melting temperature of PEO (66 °C), intercalation rates and yields are low. By...

  • Structure-property relationships in oxides containing tellurium

    Creator:
    Siritanon, Theeranun
    Abstract:
    Oxides of post-transition metals often show unique structures and properties due to the presence of lone pair electrons and the diffused s orbitals. The present work focuses on synthesis and characterizations of oxides containing Te, a heavy post transition metal. New series of pyrochlore oxides of the formula Cs(M,Te)₂O₆ (M...
