Applications of Dithieno [3,2-B2',3'-D] Pyrroles and its Analogues to Conjugated Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The promise of semiconducting materials with tunable electronic and optical properties
that share the same mechanical flexibility, low production costs and ease of processing displayed
by traditional polymers fuels the ...
The Optimization of Whole Genome Amplification and Molecular Crowding for Use in Forensic Low Copy Number Samples
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Whole genome amplification has been used as a powerful tool to increase the amount of DNA template used for microarrays, STR and SNP assays in clinical and forensic settings. Our laboratory observed that multiple displacement ...
Developing Platform Chemicals from Renewable Resources
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The Department of Energy has listed 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) as two of the twelve building blocks derived from cellulosic biomass. HMF can serve as a renewable platform for the ...
Synthesis, Photophysics, Nonlinear Absorption, and Photodynamic Therapy Study of Iridium(III) Complexes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Video summarizing a Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience.
Stereospecitic Phototransformations of Axially Chiral Chromaphores
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Video summarizing Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience.
Synthesis, Photophysics, and Nonlinear Absorption of Platinum (II) and Iridium (III) Complexes
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Square planar d8 platinum(II) complexes and octahedral d6 iridium(III) complexes were synthesized. Their photophysics were studied in detail. Structure-property relationship was studied by varying the substitution on the ...
Ligand Binding and Catalysis in Selected Sirtuin Isozymes
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Due to their intimate roles in survival, longevity as well as pathogenesis via “epigenetic” and “metabolic” regulatory mechanisms, sirtuins have gained considerable interest toward undertaking detailed biochemical/biophysical ...
Synthesis and Characterization of 2,3-Difunctionalized Thieno[3,4-b]Pyrazine-Based Terthienyls Structure-Function Relationships and Side Chain Tunability
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The ability to tune the physical, electronic, and optical properties of polymer precursors has garnered a great deal of interest in the conjugated organic materials field. The Rasmussen group has previously demonstrated ...
Lateral Flow Nucleic Acid Biosensor for the Detection of Sexually Transmitted Diseases
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Nucleic acid detection is of central importance for the diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases, infectious agents, bio-warfare agents, and drug discovery. Nucleic acid testing for diseases is exclusively performed in ...
Enhanced Sensitivity of Lateral Flow Strip Biosensors Based on Enyzmatic Reaction and Nanomaterials
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Ultrasensitive detection for trace amount of proteins plays pivotal role in the diagnosis of specific diseases in clinical application, basic discovery research and the improvement of proteomics. Recently, lateral flow ...
