  • Regulation of Microtubule Dynamics by Engineered Kinesin-14 Motors

    Creator:
    Eagen, Emily
    Abstract:
    Microtubules (MT) are highly dynamic cylindrical-like structures within cells whose growth is controlled by motor proteins, a class of biological machines that walk along the MT while simultaneously regulating MT growth. Here we are interested in the behavior of kinesin-14 motor proteins. Although processive behavior of kinesin-14 motors has been...

  • Thin-Film Dielectric Structure of Spin-Coated ZrO2 from Aqueous Inorganic Solution

    Creator:
    Moreno Luna, Hidekel A.
    Abstract:
    An inorganic aqueous precursor for the deposition of ZrO2 thin films via spincoating was developed. Hydrolysis and condensation chemistries of ZrOCl₂·8H₂O were used as the principal reactions to guide the synthesis. Refractive index, n, for a film annealed at 300 °C at 550 nm was measured to be n=1.97 by...
