Size controlled synthesis of metallic magnetic nanocrystals for potential data storage and biomedical applications
(2013)
Magnetic nanoparticles have attracted extensive interest in recent years due to their potential applications as a consequence of their tunable magnetic properties. Therefore, research efforts are focused on the development ...
NMR structural determinants of lucina pectinata hemoglobin I active center moieties
(2013)
The clam Lucina pectinata Hemoglobin I (HbI) is a monomeric protein with a prosthetic group, known as heme group, in which the iron atom can either be in the ferrous (Fe(II)) or the ferric (Fe(III)) oxidation state. This ...
Dependence of active mode remote Ft-Ir sensing on angle of incidence, substrate type and analyte surface concentration
(2013-12)
A standoff detection scheme for a highly energetic material (HEM) and other threat chemicals deposited on substrates as contamination residues using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is described. The HEM used ...
Near infrared spectroscopic transmission measurements for pharmaceutical powder mixtures and theory of sampling (TOS) applied in pharmaceutical industry quality control (Qc) practices
(2015)
This thesis presents two projects that involve the implementation of near infrared spectroscopy. NIR spectroscopy is a fast and non-destructive spectroscopy that in combination with multivariate analysis is a very useful ...
Synthesis, characterization, cytotoxic studies, and biosensor development of ferrocenecarboxylate complexes
(2013)
The application of ferrocene chemistry in biosensing and as potential anti-cancer drug is presented in this research work. A series of modified ferrocenes with a variety of groups were synthesized and their structures ...
Experimental and Ab initio studies of intramolecular Ph/Cl exchange on Wilkinson’s catalyst and ligand-centered electrochemistry of ligand substituted metal carbonyls (M = Cr, Mo, W, Ir)
(2012)
Cyclic voltammetry measurements on (η2 -C60)M(CO)5 complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W) and on (C5H10N)3(H)3C60 in dichloromethane showed three C60-centered and reversible reduction/oxidation waves. The E1/2 values of these waves are ...
Design, improvement in the construction and analysis of the electrical efficiency of a microbial fuel cell
(2012)
The scientific community is in urgent need to develop instrumentation capable of using alternate energy sources which help to solve the petroleum crisis that world is encountering today. Among the proposed technologies, ...
Thermodynamics governing binding of Homo sapiens centrin – Homo sapiens Sfi1p21 Complexes
(2012)
Centrin is a member of the EF-hand superfamily of calcium-binding proteins and has a molecular weight of ~20 kDa. In Homo sapiens, four centrin isoforms have been determined: centrin 1 (Hscen1), which is found in male germ ...
Análisis estratégico de la Ley de Incentivos Industriales para el desarrollo económico de Puerto Rico
(2012)
This investigation evaluates the changes between Act No. 73 of May 28, 2008, known as, "Economic Incentives for the Development of Puerto Rico and to amend Sections 1022 and 1023 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1994" and ...
Síntesis y estudios estructurales de algunos derivados de perhidroindol
(2013)
The biological activity of a series of alkaloids where perhydroindole is the main
structural component is directly related to the geometrical isomerism of the hydrogens
bound to the chiral centers. Previously, the synthesis ...
