Physics-based predictions of RNA loop stability and structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecules play a variety of crucial roles in cellular functions at the level of transcription, translation and gene regulation. ...
Quantized massive spin 1/2 fields on static spherically symmetric wormhole spacetimes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Traversable wormholes have become a subject of intensive studies since 1988 when Morris and Thorne published their paper which put forward the energy conditions for traversable wormholes. A number of researchers have ...
Nanospace engineering of porous carbon for gas storage
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] An overview is given of the development of advanced nanoporous carbons as storage materials for natural gas (methane) and molecular hydrogen in on-board ...
Computational studies of methane adsorption in nanoporous carbon
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
In this thesis we have completed computational studies using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo on the adsorption of methane into a graphitic nanoporous adsorbent with slit-shaped pores. Simulations were done at a temperature of ...
Low dielectric constant-based organic field-effect transistors and metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
This thesis describes a study of PFB and pentacene-based organic field-effect transistors (OFET) and metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors with low dielectric constant poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(4-vinyl ...
Hydrogen adsorption studies of engineered and chemically modified activated carbons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
My research focuses on the production of boron-doped activated carbons and the evaluation of their adsorption and structural characteristics. Boron-doped activated carbons have been produced using a process involving the ...
High pressure spectroscopic studies of organic device materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
A comparison of photoluminescence spectra of as-is and thermally cycled di-octyl substituted polyfluorene (PF8) under pressure has been used to disentangle inter- and intra-chain interactions. Raman study of this system ...
