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)
Equilibrium is a key theme in chemistry education. Starting in high school and continuing in freshman general chemistry courses, STEM students have to learn the foundations of equilibria. What is the key concept of an ...
Aptamers that bind filovirus GP : a new frontier for detection and neutralization of Ebola and Marburg virus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Aptamers are single chained, nucleic acid-based affinity probes that bind to their targets with strong affinity and specificity. They are made through an in vitro combinatorial selection method, wherein large libraries of ...
From the lab bench to the fuel tank : development and analysis of novel adsorbents for hydrogen and natural gas storage
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Hydrogen and natural gas offer a promising avenue towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector; however, storage poses a non-trivial challenge, with current systems requiring prohibitively large ...
Human behavior understanding and intention prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
