Carboxylate-alumoxanes, [Al(O)x(OH)y(O2CR) z]n, are organic substituted alumina nano-particles synthesized from boehmite in aqueous solution which are an inexpensive and environmentally-benign precursor for the fabrication ...

A high pressure heat flux calorimeter in isobaric, temperature-ramping mode has been used to measure the solubility of pure methane, pure carbon dioxide and methane-carbon dioxide mixtures. The solubility measurements ...

Neutrophil adhesion to endothelium is prerequisite for extravasation and localization at inflammatory sites. In the vasculature this process occurs under conditions of hydrodynamic shear requiring that bonds formed between ...

The objectives of this research were to study metabolic pathways in C. roseus hairy root cultures, and to enhance secondary metabolite productivity using fungal elicitation as the technique. The effects of age of inoculum ...

Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a viable and reliable design tool for the analysis of blood-handling devices. The CFD-based design is simple, time- and cost-effective; the method predicts accurately the ...

The motivation of this research project is to assemble colloidal particles in microfluidic devices to create intelligent microstructures. We have created three types of novel structures. We have created magnetic chains ...

The dynamics of dilute solutions of DNA flowing in a scaled clown roll-knife free surface coating flow are investigated on multiple scales. The flow is generated between a rotating roll and a stationary glass knife. Extension ...

The mechanisms and selectivities of several hydrogenation, isomerization, and partial oxidation reactions that occur over a zirconia catalyst were investigated. The thermal stability of the catalyst in air and in vacuum ...

Montmorillonite is a clay mineral which when exchanged with hydroxyaluminum oligomers produces a pillared clay mineral. On calcination at 500(DEGREES)C the pillars are fixed, and a microporous structure having good thermal ...

The availability and demand of biosynthetic energy (ATP) and reducing electrons (NADH, reduced ferredoxin) have been found to be crucial in the regulation of solvent production in steady state continuous cultures of ...
