The 2.3A crystal structure of the antibody Fab HPC-4 in complex with calcium and the epitope peptide.
(2007)
The murine monoclonal antibody HPC-4, directed against the activation region of the human anticoagulant zymogen protein C (PC), is one of the few immunoglobulins known to display calcium-dependent antigen binding. Unlike ...
MOLECULAR ENGINEERING STRATEGIES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FUELS FROM CONVENTIONAL AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES
(2009)
The combination of Quantitative Structure Property Relationships (QSPR) with experimental studies using model compounds provides great promise for fuel upgrading. Through this approach, QSPR software is utilized to predict ...
CONVERSION OF MODEL BIO-OIL COMPOUNDS OVER METAL OXIDES AND SUPPORTED METAL CATALYSTS
(2015)
Growing environmental concerns has necessitated the development of cleaner and renewable sources of energy such as biomass. Bio-oil derived from lignocellulosic biomass is a promising source for producing renewable chemicals ...
Heat integration across plants in the total site.
(2001)
As a step forward in closing this gap, the purpose of this thesis is to discuss heat integration across plants in the "total site". This integration can be accomplished either directly using process streams or indirectly ...
Surfactant Aggregate Morphology on Surfaces: Insights from Molecular Simulations
(2010)
Surfactants are an important class of molecules used in number of applications at a range of length scales. Oil recovery, mineral recovery, detergency are applications that have been using surfactants for decades, whereas ...
The development of redox polymers based on linear poly(ethylenimine) for application in amperometric biosensors.
(2007)
The second polymer synthesized was hexylferrocenyl linear poly(ethylenimine) [HxFc-LPEI]. By extending the ferrocene group further away from the polymer backbone HxFc-LPEI eliminates the proximity issue, particularly the ...
DEVELOPMENT OF NANOSTRUCTURED ENZYMATIC BIOFUEL CELLS
(2014-12-12)
Nanostructured enzymatic biofuel cells with high power density output and prolonged lifetime were developed by the incorporation of carbon nanotubes into redox polymer-enzyme films. The performance of the enzymatic biofuel ...
Investigation of Flow through Complicated Microfluidic Devices and over Micropatterned Surfaces using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2015-12)
Computational fluid dynamics is used to study two distinct areas of engineering interest: microfluidic systems involving superhydrophobic surfaces and blood pumps. Superhydrophobic surfaces, which can induce slip at ...
UPGRADING OF BIOMASS-DERIVED MOLECULES FOR FUELS VIA HYDRODEOXYGENATION ON SUPPORTED METALS
(2010)
Biomass-derived molecules such as aldehydes and alcohols have been upgraded to more valuable products via hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation on supported metals. For unsaturated aldehydes, the competitive hydrogenation ...
