Decreasing the Energy of Evaporation Using Interfacial Water: Is This Useful for Solar Evaporation Efficiency?
(American Chemical Society, 2023-04)Evaporation of water using solar power is an economical and environmentally friendly method for purification of aqueous solutions. It has been suggested that intermediate states can be used to lower the enthalpy of evaporation ... -
Supramolecular Peptide Nanostructures Regulate Catalytic Efficiency and Selectivity
(Wiley-V C H, 2023-05)We report three constitutionally isomeric tetrapeptides, each comprising one glutamic acid (E) residue, one histidine (H) residue, and two lysine (K-S) residues functionalized with side-chain hydrophobic S-aroylthiooxime ... -
Elucidating the Effect of Ion Exchange Protocol on the Copper Exchange Efficacy, Copper Siting, and SCR activity in Cu-SSZ-13
(Wiley-VCH, 2023-05)The influence of the copper ion exchange protocol on SCR activity of SSZ-13 is quantified. Using the same parent SSZ-13 zeolite, four exchange protocols are used to assess how exchange protocol impacts metal uptake and SCR ... -
Facile Implementation of Antimicrobial Coatings through Adhesive Films (Wraps) Demonstrated with Cuprous Oxide Coatings
(MDPI, 2023-05-17)Antimicrobial coatings have a finite lifetime because of wear, depletion of the active ingredient, or surface contamination that produces a barrier between the pathogen and the active ingredient. The limited lifetime means ... -

Customized blends of polypropylene for extrusion based additive manufacturing
(Wiley, 2022-11)Filament-based material extrusion (MatEx) additive manufacturing has garnered great interest due to its simplicity, customizability, and cost-effectiveness. However, MatEx of semicrystalline polymers is still largely ... -
Multi-axis alignment of Rod-like cellulose nanocrystals in drying droplets
(Elsevier, 2021-12)Hypothesis: Radial capillary flow in evaporating droplets carry suspended nanoparticles to its periphery where they are deposited and form a coffee-ring. Rod-like nanoparticles seeking to minimize their capillary energy ... -
Encapsulation of PI3K Inhibitor LY294002 within Polymer Nanoparticles Using Ion Pairing Flash Nanoprecipitation
(MDPI, 2023-04-06)Flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) is a turbulent mixing process capable of reproducibly producing polymer nanoparticles loaded with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The nanoparticles produced with this method consist ... -
Clearance of Biodegradable Polymer and Polyethylene Films from the Rumens of Holstein Bull Calves
(MDPI, 2023-03-03)Due to the occurrence of plastic impaction in ruminants and its deleterious effects on health and production, it is necessary to determine the suitability of biodegradable polymers to replace polyethylene-based agricultural ... -
Mechanism and Efficacy of Cu2O-Treated Fabric
(MDPI, 2022-11-16)Pathogenic bacteria can remain viable on fabrics for several days and therefore are a source of infection. Antimicrobial fabrics are a potential method of reducing such infections, and advances in antimicrobial fabrics can ... -
Subpopulation-specific machine learning prognosis for underrepresented patients with double prioritized bias correction
(Nature Research, 2022-09)Background: Many clinical datasets are intrinsically imbalanced, dominated by overwhelming majority groups. Off-the-shelf machine learning models that optimize the prognosis of majority patient types (e.g., healthy class) ... -
Focused Ultrasound Biofilm Ablation: Investigation of Histotripsy for the Treatment of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs)
(IEEE, 2021-09-01)Urinary catheters often become contaminated with biofilms, resulting in catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) that adversely affect patient outcomes. Histotripsy is a non-invasive focused ultrasound therapy ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Silica-Tantala Microporous Membranes for Gas Separations Fabricated Using Chemical Vapor Deposition
(MDPI, 2022-09-16)Composite membranes consisting of microporous tantalum-doped silica layers supported on mesoporous alumina substrates were fabricated using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in both thermal decomposition and counter-flow ... -
Biomass Valorization to Bioenergy: Assessment of Biomass Residues' Availability and Bioenergy Potential in Nigeria
(MDPI, 2021-12)The bioenergy sector in Nigeria currently lacks a proper assessment of resource availability. In this study, we investigated the bioenergy potential of agricultural residues and municipal solid and liquid waste using data ... -
Alterations in the molecular composition of COVID-19 patient urine, detected using Raman spectroscopic/computational analysis
(PLOS, 2022-07-01)We developed and tested a method to detect COVID-19 disease, using urine specimens. The technology is based on Raman spectroscopy and computational analysis. It does not detect SARS-CoV-2 virus or viral components, but ... -
Cell-type-specific epigenomic variations associated with BRCA1 mutation in pre-cancer human breast tissues
(Oxford University Press, 2022-01-13)BRCA1 germline mutation carriers are predisposed to breast cancers. Epigenomic regulations have been known to strongly interact with genetic variations and potentially mediate biochemical cascades involved in tumorigenesis. ... -
Epigenomic and transcriptomic analyses reveal differences between low-grade inflammation and severe exhaustion in LPS-challenged murine monocytes
(Nature Portfolio, 2022-01-28)Emerging studies suggest that monocytes can be trained by bacterial endotoxin to adopt distinct memory states ranging from low-grade inflammation to immune exhaustion. While low-grade inflammation may contribute to the ... -
Coarse-grained molecular dynamics integrated with convolutional neural network for comparing shapes of temperature sensitive bottlebrushes
(Nature Portfolio, 2022-03-18)Quantification of shape changes in nature-inspired soft material architectures of stimuli-sensitive polymers is critical for controlling their properties but is challenging due to their softness and flexibility. Here, we ... -
Breaking adsorption-energy scaling limitations of electrocatalytic nitrate reduction on intermetallic CuPd nanocubes by machine-learned insights
(Nature Portfolio, 2022-04-29)Machine learning is a powerful tool for screening electrocatalytic materials. Here, the authors reported a seamless integration of machine-learned physical insights with the controlled synthesis of structurally ordered ... -
Effect of Surface Porosity on SARS-CoV-2 Fomite Infectivity
(ACS Publications, 2022-05-23)Previous reports indicated the low stability of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on various porous surfaces, but the role of porosity was unclear because there was no direct comparison between ...
