  • Gold Nanoparticles as Thiophenol Detection Probes

    Creator:
    Pond, Emily
    Abstract:
    The development of simple, rapid, and sensitive methods for thiophenol detection is of great importance in various fields, including environmental monitoring and food quality. Here, we present a novel approach for the colorimetric detection of thiophenols using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the sensing platform. AuNPs aggregate in the presence of...

  • Role of P2Y₁₂ Inhibition in PAR1 Stimulated Platelet Dense Granule Release

    Creator:
    Laschober, Nicole B.
    Abstract:
    Platelet activation uses a complex set of pathways to respond to vascular injury during hemostasis. However, thrombosis relies on the same set of pathways. Antiplatelet therapies used to prevent thrombotic events often target the P2Y₁₂ platelet receptor for inhibition but can result in bleeding diathesis or in abnormally high ADP...

  • Development and Characterization of Multiple Nanopore Systems for Molecular Sensing

    Creator:
    Schmeckpeper, Tyler T.
    Abstract:
    Artificial lipid bilayer technologies are effective models for studying cell membrane properties. Droplet bilayers rely on microfluidics and provide advantages over other bilayer methods due to their compatibility with automated development systems that increase yield while minimizing cost. This paper describes the implementation of bilayer technologies using membrane protein channels...

  • Toward an Optimal Working Distance for Hyperspectral Imaging of Wood

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Michelle T.
    Abstract:
    The forest products industry relies on the production of high-quality wood to satisfy consumer requirements. Improving wood quality requires an effective and inexpensive technique for measuring critical properties such as density and microfibril angle. An emerging technology known as near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR HSI) essentially captures surface images of samples...

  • Developmental effects of micro- and nanoscale tire particles and recycled rubber on zebrafish

    Creator:
    Mottern, Taylor H.
    Abstract:
    Plastics have become an essential part of everyone lives, found in almost every product made today. Tires only make up a fraction of these products but as their use increasing so does the microplastics that flake off. Many studies have evaluated the toxic effects of tire particles on aquatic environments...

  • Activation and Nuclear Translocation of the Transcription Factor Nrf2 by the MAP Kinase Family

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Ngan H.
    Abstract:
    Eukaryotic cells have developed elaborate biochemical processes to counteract oxidative stress, electrophiles, or carcinogens due to environmental insults. One of these important cellular defense mechanisms is mediated by the transcription factor Nrf2 that have been shown to have decrease activity with age. While the process of which Nrf2 is involved...

  • Disability to Super-Ability: Issues Along The Human Enhancement Spectrum

    Creator:
    Oakes, Ian R.
    Abstract:
    Advancements in the field of medical and computer technology promise a new age of human enhancement technology (HET). These technologies may be aptly applied to existing Assistive Technology (AT), which was created to ameliorate disability, moving one up the spectrum of ability. This study aimed to determine how these technologies...

  • Structural and activity characterization of irradiated antimicrobial peptide (WLBU2) for use in blood processing and biomedical applications

    Creator:
    Cheung, Daniel Y. C.
    Abstract:
    Sepsis is a life-threatening blood infection which leads to an uncontrolled systemic inflammatory state. In North America alone, sepsis annually afflicts approximately 750,000 individuals and kills 38-50% of these (more than HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, and colon cancer combined). Current treatment involves administration of IV fluids, antibiotics and hemoperfusion, requiring prolonged...

  • Solvation Effects of Water on Dimethyl Ether Interactions with a Platinum Catalyst

    Creator:
    Chang, Alvin
    Abstract:
    Our society today is heavily dependent on fossil fuels such as coal and oil. However, growing environmental concerns and future fossil fuel supplies have led to interests in alternative fuels. Dimethyl Ether (DME) is an inexpensive, clean-burning, non-toxic, and potentially renewable fuel, making it a suitable choice as an alternative...

  • Phase study and rheological evaluation of the gelation of xanthan gum with chromium (III) nitrate

    Creator:
    Oldenkamp, Heidi F.
    Abstract:
    Xanthan gum, a naturally produced polysaccharide, is biocompatible, and it is commonly used as a food additive. When combined with trivalent ions, such as chromium (III), a gel can form. Various concentrations of xanthan gum and chromium (III) nitrate were combined to evaluate the sol-gel transition of this system. Samples...
