Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Films Dip-Coating by Colloidal Nanocrystals Bilayer Films
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
A wrinkling approach was used to study the mechanics of hybrid nanotube/nanocrystal coatings adhering to soft polymer (PDMS) substrates. We focused on three thicknesses: 10 nm, 30 nm, and 40 nm. The approach we used is the ...
Enzyme Behavior in Synthetic Materials and Structural Implications for Rational Design
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Combining enzymes with synthetic materials is the new frontier of biocatalysis, materials science, and protein engineering. Enzymes are biological macromolecule catalysts with incredible efficiency and specificity that are ...
Palladium-Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reaction of Aromatic Esters and Aromatic Diesters with Arylboronic Acids
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions for the functionalization of the ester bond provides a significant overall improvement in the catalytic system as compared to aryl halides/pseudo-halides electrophilic ...
Effects of Phylogenetic Tree Style on Student Comprehension
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Phylogenetic trees are powerful tools of evolutionary biology that have become prominent across the life sciences. Consequently, learning to interpret and reason from phylogenetic trees is now an essential component of ...
Phytic Acid Enriched Biobased Membranes for Lead Ion Removal From Water
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Pollution by heavy metals, such as lead (Pb), in bodies of water is a serious problem today that poses great risk to human health and the environment. In this study, cellulose-acetate (CA) based membranes were synthesized ...
Propensity Score and Survival Analysis for Lung Cancer
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Propensity scores were used to assess covariate balance between black and white groups in each lung cancer stage of a large data set. Pairwise log rank tests were used to test the equality of survival distribution for ...
Investigating the Role of BECN1 Conformationally Flexible Regions and Invariant Cys-x-x-Cys Motifs in Autophagy
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Autophagy is an essential catabolic cellular homeostasis process conserved in all eukaryotes. BECN1, a key autophagy protein involved in autophagosome nucleation, comprises of a large, poorly conserved, N-terminal intrinsically ...
The Thiol-ene Encapsulation and Photo-physical Characterization of Colloidal Silicon Nanocrystals Synthesized with Si6H12 Using Non-thermal Plasma Reactor
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) are nanometer-sized semiconducting materials. Their small size endows them with unique photophysical properties. Efficient photoluminescence (PL) from silicon nanocrystal (SiNC) composites has ...
Designing Ru Catalysts for Selective C-H Bond Oxidation Reactions
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Typically, C-H bond oxidation proceeds via formation of high-valent metal oxo species. Attaining a high oxidation state of the metal complex is critical as it is the key step for many catalytic processes. Understanding ...
A Spectral Two Sample Test
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
In statistics, two-sample tests are commonly desired under many topics. It's crucial to differentiate populations as a prerequisite for developing further analysis. A number of statistical tests have been developed for ...
