Synthesis, Photophysics, Reverse Saturable Absorption, and Photodynamic Therapy of Iridium(III) Complexes Bearing Different Degrees of p-conjugation on the Ligands
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Octahedral d6 iridium(III) complexes possess rich photophysical properties. The most distinct phtotphysical properties of the Ir(III) complexes are their high triplet excited-state formation quantum yields, long-lived ...
Development of Quantitative Lateral Flow Strip Biosensors for the Detection of Cancer Biomarkers
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The detection of cancer biomarkers is of great importance in oncology. Cancer biomarkers can provide diagnostic information which can aid disease screening and early diagnosis. Further, cancer biomarkers can help predict ...
Investigating Selected Mechanisms of Modulation of BECN1-mediated Autophagy
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation pathway wherein cytoplasmic components not needed by or harmful to the cell are degraded and recycled. BECN homologs are key autophagy proteins consisting of an intrinsically disordered ...
Fundamental Surface Properties and Gas-Surface Interactions of Two-Dimensional Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Heterogeneous model catalysis with supported nanomaterials on ultra-thin two-dimensional films has contributed significantly to improve the existing industrial catalytic processes, as well as to discover novel ways to ...
Exploitation of Biomass for Applications in Sustainable Materials Science
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Biorefinery may be defined as the process of accessing chemical commodities from living systems; consequently, biomass becomes the antecedent for renewable resources through biorefinery. Advantages to this process over ...
Apoptosis-Inducing Factor Mediates Metabolism and Oxidative Stress Signaling through Functionally Uncoupled Mechanisms to the Benefit of Tumorigenesis
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, arising when cells accumulate genomic mutations that render them incapable of controlling their own proliferation and survival. While substantial improvements in ...
Understanding the Interaction Between Enzymes and Nanomaterials
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The rapid development of nanoparticles (NPs) has impacted many fields including energy efficiency, material science, biosensing, and medical therapeutics. Recently, NPs have been utilized to immobilize enzymes. The so-formed ...
Synthesis and Design of Thiophene Materials: Effects of Ring Fusion and Metal Coordination
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Conjugated organic materials comprise a field of materials chemistry focused on the development of semiconducting organic plastics, popular applications of which are plastic solar cells and display technologies. One of the ...
