This project is focused on determining how associated metals of environmental concern (especially Pb) behave during aggregationbased crystal growth as a function of increasing Crystallinity Index (CI).

The MUC-1 mucin is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein found on the apical surface of epithelial cells with a short cytoplasmic end and a longer extracellular domain consisting of multiple 20-amino acid tandem ...

The crystal structure of the mucin monoclonal antibody SM3 complexed with a 13 amino acid MUC1 mucin peptide was determined. The high selectivity of the SM3 antibody to the aberrant carbohydrate cancer mucin peptide suggests ...

“Smart polymers” change their mechanical properties in response to changes in stimuli, such as pH, temperature, and polymer concentration. We chose to focus on the viscoelastic properties when determining the effects of ...

The goal of this study is two-fold: to gather information about the impact of flipped and traditional teaching modes on student understanding of course material, as well measuring students' attitudes about chemistry. Our ...

The MUC-1 mucin is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein found on the apical surface of the epithelial cells that contains a short cytoplasmic end and a long extracellular domain consisting of multiple 20-amino acid ...

The purpose of this study is to synthesize and characterize smart polymer-grafted colloidal silica particles in order to better understand and tune the smart characteristics and properties.

In 1859, Aleksandr Mikhailovich Butlerov (1828-1886) had just returned to Kazan after spending akomandirivka (official study leave) in the laboratory of Charles Adolphe Wurtz (1817-1884) in Paris, where he became a member ...

A Hysitron nanoindentor was used to test the hardness and reduced modulus of several two sample groups. These samples consisted of silica colloids deposited onto glass slides that were sintered at various temperatures. ...

The optimum initial pH (before addition of molybdate) for the dissolution of silica to form HPA is approx. pH 10. This may be due to the balance between enhanced silica solubility at high pH and the optimal (low) pH of the ...
