Creator:: Wu, Yawen
Abstract:: Lysozyme is a natural antimicrobial agent that is effective against many food spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms by disintegrating their cell walls. Immobilization of lysozyme has attractive applications for use in the food industry: (1) The enzyme could be readily separated from treated foods and beverages and re-used while the foods...

Creator:: Schilke, Karl F.
Abstract:: Functional polymers and proteins at interfaces and surfaces are of fundamental importance for biomaterials, biocatalysis and microreactor applications. Candida antarctica lipase B immobilized on poly-DL-tryptophan tethers showed 30x higher specific activity in aqueous and non-aqueous media than the same enzyme adsorbed or covalently bound directly to the surface. An excess...

Creator:: Adolf, Ronald L.
Abstract:: Ozone was found to quickly reduce the concentration of lead in a prepared solution when the solution pH of said solution was greater than 7.0. When a solution having a pH of greater than 7.0 was filtered the concentration of lead was less than approximately 1.0 ppm. 1.0 ppm is...

Creator:: Bader, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Hydrogels have been proposed as candidates for nucleus pulposus replacement due to their similarity in mechanical behavior to the native tissue when subjected to transient or static loading; however, given the viscoelastic nature of soft biological tissues, the lack of dynamic testing is a significant inadequacy in the studies performed...

Creator:: Trenkel-Amoroso, Jan
Abstract:: This study looks at the properties of glycerol/citric acid as they are affected by the length and temperature of the bake used to facilitate the condensation reaction that creates the polymer. In particular, the length of time required for the polymer to break down in the presence of water, both...

Creator:: Fry Davidson, Allyson
Abstract:: Cryopreservation of adherent cells may be advantageous for cell types that are difficult to preserve in suspension or when it is necessary to preserve characteristics of the adherent cultured cells. Vitrification is a promising procedure for the preservation of adherent cells that prevents ice crystal formation and the resulting dissociation...

Creator:: Lusianti, Ratih E.
Abstract:: This study lays the groundwork on potential techniques that could be employed to improve the post-thaw wash processing of cryopreserved human red blood cells. Transfusion of red blood cells is one of the most commonly practiced procedures in clinical medicine. Millions of red blood cell units are transfused to patients...

Creator:: Vian, Alexander M.
Abstract:: In the last decade, there has been renewed interest in the use of granulocyte transfusions to treat infections in individuals with compromised immune systems. However, granulocytes only remain functional for about a day after isolation and this short shelf life is a significant drawback. Cryopreservation would allow long term storage...
