Classifying the toxicity of pesticides to honey bees via support vector machines with random walk graph kernels

Creator:

Yang, Ping

Abstract:

Pesticides benefit agriculture by increasing crop yield, quality, and security. However, pesticides may inadvertently harm bees, which are valuable as pollinators. Thus, candidate pesticides in development pipelines must be assessed for toxicity to bees. Leveraging a data set of 382 molecules with toxicity labels from honey bee exposure experiments, we...

Synthesis, surface treatment, and characterization of copper indium sulfide quantum dots

Creator:

Alemu, Yagenetfere A.

Abstract:

The need for less toxic quantum dots (QDs) has led to a significant number of investigations related to copper indium sulfide (CIS) QDs. Lower toxicity and broad band absorbance width makes CIS QDs appealing for light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, sensors, bio-imaging, solar cells, and computing. The optical and electronic...

Processing of nanoscale materials

Creator:

Hostetler, Eric B.

Abstract:

The motivation for undertaking this research was to increase the understanding of processing colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals and thin films metallic glasses to enable their wider application in future devices. This research covered two unique materials, lead selenide (PbSe) nanocrystals and thin film metallic glass alloy of zirconium copper aluminum nickel...
