  • Effect of Reaction Parameters on the Catalytic Oxidation of Poplar Lignin

    Creator:
    Lu, Lin
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, woody biomass is becoming increasingly significant because of its renewability and biodegradability. Lots of opportunities have been found to use excessive biological resources to derive products as diverse as fuels, heat, electricity, chemicals, food, clothing, paper, and much more. As such, biomass plays an important role in meeting demands...

  • New Inorganic Pigments from Mineral Structures

    Creator:
    Schettini Mejia, Carlo A.
    Abstract:
    The discovery of new blue pigments is a field of great interest, as commercially available pigments present properties that make them undesirable such as poor sustainability, cost, and stability. By researching solid solutions with the melilite structure, we discovered a new solid solution Sr2Zn1-xNixGe2O7, with 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.6,...

  • Investigation of KHV DNA Methylation during Productive and Latent Infection

    Creator:
    Lin, Lisa
    Abstract:
    Koi herpesvirus (KHV), is a highly pathogenic virus causing high mortality in common carp and koi, especially in fry. One of the unique features of herpesvirus infections is their ability to become latent following initial infection. During latent infection, only viral genome persists in the host and remains dormant in...

  • Thermodynamics of Laser-Assisted Solution Combustion Synthesis of Yttrium Oxide

    Creator:
    Dhas, Jeffrey A.
    Abstract:
    To assess the conversion and embedment of yttrium nitrate to yttrium oxide using selective laser melting, a thermodynamic approach for laser power and scan speed predictions on surface temperature, recoil pressure, and resulting track morphology window are employed. Inkjet printing is used to deposit the liquid film of yttrium nitrate...

  • Adding value to renewable biodiesel production from the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi

    Creator:
    Brosy, Jack R.
    Abstract:
    Global warming and on-going depletion of fossil fuels have stimulated research to develop renewable sources of energy. Current renewable energy use comprises only 10% of the energy consumed in the US and is focused mostly on generating electricity. The majority of the energy consumed by the US transportation sector is...

  • Optimization of NH2-MIL-88B (Fe) for reactive oxygen species generation

    Creator:
    Shotton, Lewis
    Abstract:
    Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising candidates in novel cancer therapies due to their unique properties, including high surface area, tunable crystal size, and exposed metal ion active sites for catalysis. The MOF NH2-MIL-88B has shown potential use in cancer theranostics. Its open metal active sites catalyze the reduction...

  • Differential Binding and Structural Properties of the WWC Protein Family

    Creator:
    Rodriguez, Diego Javier
    Abstract:
    The WWC family consists of three proteins‐ KIBRA/WWC1, WWC2, and WWC3. The three proteins share a similar primary structure and interact with a common set of proteins. Each paralog contains two WW domains which recognize proline‐rich sequences of the type PPxY (P is proline, Y is tyrosine, x is any...

  • Quantification of Lithium via Redox Titration and pH Titration – A Method Comparison

    Creator:
    Hebert, Joseph J.
    Abstract:
    Lithium serves an unparalleled role for high energy-density storage applications and is vital for the continued advancement of the world economy. However, global supply is heavily reliant on lithium deposits situated in select locations, creating unpredictability in the price and concerns for the sustained production of the resource. Additionally, future...

  • Subcultures of Significance: Urbanity-Rurality, Tightness-Looseness, and Risk Perception

    Creator:
    Frydenlund, Nicole T. L.
    Abstract:
    Tightness-looseness (TL) is a cultural construct that measures the level of social norms present in a community, and the level of scrutiny of deviance from these norms. This construct offers a unique foundation for investigating how norms influence behavioral processes. Research in TL is relatively young, creating a frontier of...

  • Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and Chemical Modulation of MOF-74(Ni)

    Creator:
    Aldossary, Abdulrahman N.
    Abstract:
    Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous material distinguished for high free empty volume and pore tunability. MOF-74(Ni) was previously shown to be effective in adsorbing carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen. Microwave-assisted synthesis of MOF-74(Ni) was shown to lower reaction time from days to hours. In this thesis, experimental conditions of...
