Finite element analysis for the insertion process of the press-fitted total hip arthroplasty
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)There are more than 300,000 total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries performed every year in the United States. Press-fitted artificial hip joints are wildly used for relatively young patients. It relies on the friction ... -
The synthesis of a fluorescent bioconjugation agent
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Bioconjugation linkers are used covalently link two molecules, where at least one is a large biomolecule for uses such as tracking cellular function, imaging biomarkers, and disease diagnosis. Generally, a fluorescent ... -
Synthesis and reactivity of actinide phosphorano stabilized carbene and phosphido complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Nuclear power plants have been operated in the United States for over 60 years, generating over 800 terawatt-hours of energy per year. However, there is still no reliable process to recycle the spent nuclear fuel. This ... -
Sustainable chemical approaches to two-dimensional nanosheets and mesoporous platforms and catalysts
(2017)Green Chemistry, also called as Sustainable Chemistry, envisions minimum hazard to improve the efficiency and performance of materials while designing new chemical processes. In general, Green Chemistry is defined as “… ... -
Deep UV resonance Raman spectral properties of alpha helical membrane proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Membrane protein function and structure determination is vital for pharmaceutical development and disease prevention. Despite the various methods of protein structure elucidation in use, a need still exists for techniques ... -
Exploring chemical reaction complexity : application to hydrogen combustion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)The aim of this research is to gain insight into hydrogen combustion as a prototype of complex chemistry via classical molecular dynamics (CMD) simulations given the presently available reactive force field, ReaxFF. We ... -
Preparation of polymeric boron-containing nanoparticles by emulsion polymerization for application in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is based on the nuclear capture reaction of isotope [superscript 10]B irradiated by low energy thermal neutron to produce high linear energy transfer (LET) alpha particles and recoiling ... -
Fluorescent chemosensors for the detection of biological amines
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Chemical sensing has become an important field for the study of bioanalytes and provides key information pertaining to disease pathogenesis, and the physiological mechanisms underlying cellular processes. Discussed herein ... -
Deep ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy as a tool for biomolecule analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Cholesterol is a major component of membranes, reducing their fluidity at higher concentrations. The UV Raman vibrational mode of the carbon-carbon double bond in cholesterol occurs at 1675 cm-1 is strongly resonance ... -
Coordination chemistry of actinides and fission products (lanthanides and molybdenum) with neutral or acidic phosphine oxide ligands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Reprocessing in the nuclear fuel cycle is becoming essential considering the increasing demands for energy world-wide and the role nuclear energy will have in the future. Reprocessing not only aids in prolonging the supply ... -
Chemical and biochemical properties of abasic site adducts and 6-thioguanine DNA cross-links in DNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)DNA is a macromolecular complex, composed of the nucleotides adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine interconnected by a phosphate backbone, that contains the genetic code for living organisms and viruses. Spontaneous and ... -
Design and gas sorption study of c-alkylresorcin[n]arene-based cocrystals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Supramolecular chemistry is the study of how to form complexes through molecular self-assembly and intermolecular bonding. Our research group has been doing a lot supramolecular research based on macrocycles such as ... -
Development of fluorescent sensors for the detection of hydrophobic amines and glycolipids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)A novel fluorescent sensor was designed and synthesized to detect hydrophobic amines and was used to extract them from synthetically prepared vesicles. This sensor had a higher affinity for diamines than primary amines, ... -
Spectroscopic investigation of the effect of polyphenolic compounds on the amyloid-β protein
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Aggregation of the amyloid-β (Aβ) protein is associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease. Aβ is a 39-43 residue cleavage product of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Aβ aggregates to produce insoluble plaques ... -
Gold-catalyzed generation of vinylthionium ions and the development of an organocatalytic, asymmetric (4+3)-cycloaddition reaction
