Development of advanced chemometric methods for the analysis of deep-UV resonance Raman spectra of proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
spectra can be problematic due to the difficulty of determining the pure secondary structure Raman spectra. The use of multi-excitation datasets can help to alleviate the difficulty in determining the pure secondary structure Raman spectra, but due...
The adsorption of environmental pollutants in gas and aqueous media utilizing nano-scale materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
In this body of work, the synthesis and characterization of several nanoporous materials have been described, as well as the application of these materials towards environmentally positive means. Largely, this work involves ...
Separation and identification of peptides by integrated multidimensional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (IMDLC-MS)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Integrated multidimensional liquid chromatography (IMDLC) is an innovative method used for separation of tryptic peptides. In this method a two-component ...
Alkene-oxo and alkene-alkene coupling on Pt(II)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Tetranuclear Pt(II) oxo-complex [(COD)4Pt4([mu]3-O)2Cl2](BF4)2 (1) (COD = 1,5- cyclooctadiene) was found to readily react with a variety of alkenes (ethylene, norbornene, propylene and cyclopentene). The most significant ...
Investigation of CO2 capture systems, Lewis acid-base pairs, and oscillating reactions with electronic structure theory and kinetics-based approaches
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
. From the outset, this quest was pursued as an interdisciplinary project between chemistry and mathematics. My work with the dynamics group resulted in Chapters 3 and 4 of the present dissertation. Chapter 3 is a re-evaluation of the video-based kinetic...
Solid, aqueous, and gaseous: functional materials and advancements to reduce pollution in three forms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
ecosystems, and prevalent extreme weather events. For a sustainable future, pollution in all three forms must be combatted. In this dissertation, I present works related to the pursuit of this goal. In all cases, I have striven to produce research...
Quantum aspects of roaming dynamics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
to an intramolecular H + HCO reaction. Roaming reactions have been visualized from a classical perspective with only a few exceptions in the literature despite the likely quantum nature of the process. A major objective of the presented work is to reveal quantum...
Radioanalytical multi-elemental analysis : new methodology and archaeometric applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Several projects are covered in this dissertation: the application of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and rigorous statistical analyses to the sourcing of Egyptian limestone and Kenyan obsidian, and the ...
The use of pluripotent stem cells as a model for early human placentation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Throughout gestation, the placenta plays a critical role in ensuring proper development of the fetus. The placenta functions to exchange nutrients, ...
