(2017)We investigate the dynamical behavior of deformable filaments experimentally using a tunable model system consisting of linked paramagnetic colloidal particles, where the persistence length lp, the contour length lc, and ... -
Gelatin carriers for drug and cell delivery in tissue engineering
(2014)The ability of gelatin to form complexes with different drugs has been investigated for controlled release applications. Gelatin parameters, such as crosslinking density and isoelectric point, have been tuned in order to ... -
Genetic and Chemical Activation of TFEB Mediates Clearance of Aggregated α-Synuclein
(2015)Aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) is associated with the development of a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). The formation of α-syn aggregates results from aberrant accumulation of ... -
High efficiency carbon nanotube thread antennas
(2017)Although previous research has explored the underlying theory of high-frequency behavior of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and CNT bundles for antennas, there is a gap in the literature for direct experimental measurements of ... -
High pressure measurements and molecular modeling of the water content of acid gas containing mixtures
(2015)Water content of three carbon dioxide containing natural gas mixtures in equilibrium with an aqueous phase was measured using a dynamic saturation method. Measurements were performed up to high temperatures (477.6 K = 400°F) ... -
High-Ampacity Power Cables of Tightly-Packed and Aligned Carbon Nanotubes
(2014)The current-carrying capacity (CCC), or ampacity, of highly-conductive, light, and strong carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers is characterized by measuring their failure current density (FCD) and continuous current rating (CCR) ... -
Highly Flexible Self-Assembled V2O5 Cathodes Enabled by Conducting Diblock Copolymers
(2015)Mechanically robust battery electrodes are desired for applications in wearable devices, flexible displays, and structural energy and power. In this regard, the challenge is to balance mechanical and electrochemical ... -
HSulf-1 deficiency dictates a metabolic reprograming of glycolysis and TCA cycle in ovarian cancer
(2015)Warburg effect has emerged as a potential hallmark of many cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms that led to this metabolic state of aerobic glycolysis, particularly in ovarian cancer (OVCA) have not been completely ... -
Human Omental-Derived Adipose Stem Cells Increase Ovarian Cancer Proliferation, Migration, and Chemoresistance
(2013)Objectives: Adipose tissue contains a population of multipotent adipose stem cells (ASCs) that form tumor stroma and can promote tumor progression. Given the high rate of ovarian cancer metastasis to the omental adipose, ... -
Hybrid graphene metasurfaces for high-speed mid-infrared light modulation and single-pixel imaging
(2018)During the past decades, major advances have been made in both the generation and detection of infrared light; however, its efficient wavefront manipulation and information processing still encounter great challenges. ... -
Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions in aqueous mixtures of alcohols at a hydrophobic surface
(2013)Aqueous solutions of alcohols are interesting because of their anomalous behavior that is believed to be due to the molecular structuring of water and alcohol around each other in solution. The interfacial structuring and ... -
The impact of lithologic heterogeneity and focused fluid flow upon gas hydrate distribution in marine sediments
(2014)Gas hydrate and free gas accumulation in heterogeneous marine sediment is simulated using a two-dimensional (2-D) numerical model that accounts for mass transfer over geological timescales. The model extends a previously ... -
Improvement of NADPH bioavailability in Escherichia coli through the use of phosphofructokinase deficient strains
(2013)NADPH-dependent reactions play important roles in production of industrially valuable compounds. In this study, we used phosphofructokinase (PFK)-deficient strains to direct fructose-6-phosphate to be oxidized through ... -

Interfacial energetics of two-dimensional colloidal clusters generated with a tunable anharmonic interaction potential
(2018)Interfacial characteristics are critical to various properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials such as band alignment at a heterojunction and nucleation kinetics in a 2D crystal. Despite the desire to harness these ... -
Isolating the non-polar contributions to the intermolecular potential for water-alkane interactions
(2014)Intermolecular potential models for water and alkanes describe pure component properties fairly well, but fail to reproduce properties of water-alkane mixtures. Understanding interactions between water and non-polar molecules ...
