  • Synthesis and anticoagulant function of heparin containing block copolymers on polystyrene microspheres

    Creator:
    Fry, Allyson Kaye
    Abstract:
    Contact of blood with the surfaces of synthetic materials is associated with spontaneous protein adsorption, initiating platelet aggregation, the coagulation cascade, and the eventual development of a stable clot. Current therapy to inhibit implant-induced thrombosis is life-long administration of systemic anticoagulants. An alternative to the systemic administration of anticoagulant drugs...

  • Aroma compounds in sweet dry whey

    Creator:
    Mahajan, Shilpa S.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to identify aroma volatiles in sweet whey powder. Volatiles were isolated by solvent extraction and solvent assisted flavor evaporation. Fractionation was followed to separate acidic volatiles from nonacidic volatiles. Gas chromatography/olfactometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were used for the identification ofaroma compounds. Osme methodology...

  • Magnetic bead detection with ferromagnetic resonance for use in immuno-biosensor application

    Creator:
    Ghionea, Simon
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to introduce and demonstrate a novel magnetic bead detector based on inductive detection at the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency for use in bio-sensing applications. Detection ability is demonstrated through theoretical arguments, numerical computer simulations, and experimental characterization of micro-fabricated detectors. The detector is composed...

  • Hydrolytic methods for the quantification of fructose-equivalents in herbaceous biomass

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Stefanie K.
    Abstract:
    A low, but significant, fraction of the carbohydrate portion of herbaceous biomass may be composed of fructose/fructosyl-containing components (“fructose equivalents”); such carbohydrates include sucrose, fructo-oligosaccharides, and fructans. Standard methods used for the quantification of structural-carbohydrate-derived neutral monosaccharide-equivalents in biomass are not particularly well suited for the quantification of fructose equivalents...

  • Comparison between lichen, conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling devices (PASDs), and snow to monitor semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) in the atmosphere

    Creator:
    Schrlau, Jill E.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research was to compare four different media that were used to monitor SOC atmospheric concentrations in remote ecosystems. The accumulation of semi-volatile organic compounds, including pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), was investigated in lichen, 2-year old conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling...
