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 ...
A State-Wide Effort to Promote Best Practices in Industrial Energy Efficiency in Missouri [abstract]
(2009)
Missouri Industrial Assessment Center is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's IAC program to provide services in energy efficiency for industries in the state. The aim is to promote best practices in energy efficiency, ...
Environmental Implications of Increased Bioenergy Production on Midwest Soil Landscapes [abstract]
(2009)
Prairie soil landscapes encompass over 16 million acres in Missouri and surrounding states. Much of this area has been degraded by erosion but is still used for grain production. Erosion has caused variable topsoil depth ...
Constructing proteome and metabolome maps for genetic improvement of energy-related traits in soybean [abstract]
(2009)
Although the genetic blueprint of soybean is represented by the genome, its phenotype is a product of that blueprint manifested as the production of proteins and metabolites influencing growth characteristics, stress ...
Landfill Methane Collection in Brazil [abstract]
(2009)
The US EPA requested proposals for projects that focus on reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) worldwide. Advancing the recovery and use of methane generated in landfills as an energy source is a primary objective. The ...
University of Missouri Led Energy Efficient Projects in Global Market: Application of Sustainable Ground Energy in Olympic Facilities [abstract]
(2009-04)
University of Missouri, Columbia (MU) faculty members are involved in energy efficient projects in China with grant support by both the U.S. and Chinese governments. A large commercial building was selected by the Beijing ...
Fundamental Understanding of Pebble Bed Nuclear Reactors for Environmentally Benign and Risk Free Proliferation 4th Generation Nuclear Energy and Hydrogen Production [abstract]
(2009-04)
Pebble bed nuclear reactor is among the 6 suggested 4th generation nuclear reactors. It is also one of the advanced high temperature gas nuclear reactors (AGRs). In such reactor the pebbles that contain the nuclear fuel ...
Development and characterization of fluorescent dye-doped nanoparticles with enhanced fluorescence intensity and photostability [abstract]
(2010)
We report the development of fluorescent dye doped organosilicate nanoparticles (DOSNPs) synthesized from poly-methylsilsesquioxane(PMSSQ), resulting in high fluorescence intensity and excellent photostability. The surface ...
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 ...
Shock Wave Based Cell Transfection and Fluorescent Organosilicate Nanoparticles for Targeted Drug Delivery [abstract]
(2010)
Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that has applications in life sciences, alternative energy, national defense, and electronics. In the field of medicine, nanotechnology may enable intelligent drug delivery using ...
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 ...
