CELL-FREE STUDIES OF CATALYTIC DNA CLEAVAGE BY RUTHENIUM POLYPYRIDYL COMPLEXES (RPCS) CONTAINING REDOX-ACTIVE INTERCALATING LIGANDS, ENANTIOMERIC SEPARATION AND SEMI-PREP SCALE PURIFICATION OF RPCS
(2018-08-28)
Herein, we report the ruthenium (II) polypyridyl complexes (RPCs), [(phen)₂Ru(tatpp)] ²⁺ (3²⁺) and [(phen)₂Ru(tatpp)Ru(phen)₂] ⁴⁺ (4⁴⁺) are shown to cleave DNA in cell-free studies in the presence of a mild reducing agent, ...
Simulation, Control and Testing of a Custom 5-DOF Robotic Manipulator System
(2018-05-21)
Open chain manipulators are a well posed problem, however it was necessary to build a system customized to meet the needs of the Unmanned Ground Vehicle developed in the Aerospace Systems Laboratory. Considering that there ...
Functional Analysis of Nuclear-Encoded Mitochondrial Gene Duplicates with Testis-Biased Expression in Drosophila melanogaster
(2019-08-12)
Most of the genes encoding proteins that function in the mitochondria are located in the nucleus and are called nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes (N-mt genes). In Drosophila melanogaster, most of the tissue-specific ...
LONG-DISTANCE AND BROAD-BAND AERIAL COMMUNICATION USING DIRECTIONAL ANTENNAS: THEORY, IMPLEMENTATION, AND APPLICATIONS
(2019-08-05)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have found broad civilian applications. However, existing commercial usages are limited to single UAVs. To facilitate commercial multi-UAV applications, robust UAV-to-UAV communication with ...
DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND VALIDATION OF A NOVEL OPTICAL IMAGING DEVICE FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS
(2019-07-31)
Fluorescence and luminescence imaging are two promising optical techniques for diagnosing a variety of critical pathologies in vivo, including wound healing, inflammation, and vascular diseases. Despite this, there is a ...
DESIGNING REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES PRODUCING MATERIALS FOR CANCER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENTS
(2021-08-13)
This dissertation is focused on using nanotechnology to improve conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for cancer and wastewater treatments, respectively. Even though PDT has a great ...
