Novel Nanostructured Organosilicate Nanoparticle Coatings for Chem-Bio Sensing [abstract]
(2010-03)We present novel nanostructured organosilicate particulate based films and demonstrate that these materials have a great potential for chemical-biological sensor development. With unprecedented high surface areas (> 1400 ... -
Applications of Energetic Materials and Copper Oxide Nanorods for Decontamination [abstract]
(2010-03)We demonstrate the potential of nanoenergetic coatings and CuO nanorods to decontaminate surfaces infected with bacteria. The methods of decontamination include (i) fast combustion of an energetic paint applied on contaminated ... -
Self-Aligned Microchip Device for Automated Measurement of Quantal Exocytosis [abstract]
(2010-02)Neurons and endocrine cells secrete neurotransmitters and hormones as a method for cell-to-cell communication through the process of exocytosis. Disruption of exocytosis underlie neurological disorders such as Parkinson's ... -
Photoacoustic Detection of Circulating Prostate, Breast and Pancreatic Cancer cells using targeted Gold Nanoparticles: Implications of Green Nanotechnology in Molecular Imaging
(2010-02)Circulating tumor cells are hallmarks of metastasis cancer. The presence of circulating tumor cells in blood stream correlates with the severity of disease. Photoacoustic imaging (PA) of tumor cells is an attractive technique ... -
Using Biodiesel as a Lubricity Additive for Petroleum Diesel Fuel
(2009-04)Professor Schumacher discussed aspects of lubricity in fuels, including a project to determine the concentration of biodiesel that will raise the lubricity of the new low sulfur diesel fuel. -
Nitrogen: The key to biofuel energy balance [abstract]
(2009-04)Vigorous debate continues regarding the net energy that can be gained in producing liquid fuels from crop materials. However, it is clear that the net energy gain from the process is small relative to the energy demands ... -
Logistic modeling of a biomass utilization system [abstract]
(2009)A logistic model was developed for a biomass utilization system and implemented in ExtendSim, a high-level object-oriented simulation platform. The model allows for system simulation and analysis of biomass supply chain ...
