Assessment of the stability and biological activity of our model proteins encapsulated in hydrogel membranes
(2007)
Proteins are biological macromolecules which have a unique spatial conformation. This spatial conformation can be affected by extremes in pH, temperature, and organic solvents. Once this 3D spatial conformation is affected ...
Functionalization of inhalable particles by fluidized bed processing
(2008)
This work focused initially on the size reduction of naproxen sodium to less than 5 µm for inhalation applications. The second objective was the adhesion of naproxen sodium particles to micronized lactose particles with ...
Rheological characterization of pharmaceutical gel formulations
(2010)
The aim of this research work was to study the rheological properties of an industrially relevant gelatin-based pharmaceutical formulation, since the rheology of the product provides
information regarding the structure ...
CO2 adsorption in nickel based metal organic framework Ni-DABCO: A density functional theory and grand canonical Monte Carlo study
(2018-12-07)
The continuous emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO2), are
generating concerns over the negative effects they are having on the planet. The main goal of this
project is to understand the adsorption ...
Screening soil metagenomic libraries searching for degrading enzymes useful for the production of biofuels and value added chemicals
(2012)
Value-added chemicals and fuels produced via the biotransformation of lignocellulosic biomass resources like crop biomass waste are necessary to reduce our dependence on the non-renewable conversion of raw materials. ...
Biotransformation of coffee pulp using filamentous fungi
(2012)
Efforts devoted to the efficient use of agro-industrial residues have increased, especially if the use contributes to solve pollution problems. Coffee pulp/husk is the main byproduct generated during coffee wet processing. ...
Probing nanoscale viscosity in polymer melts using magnetic nanoparticles.
(2012)
Oleic acid coated cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoFe2O4-OA), which relax through the Brownian mechanism, were dispersed in Polystyrene (PS) and Polybutadiene (PBD) of various molecular weights (MW). These suspensions were ...
Solubilities of anti-cancer and anti-AIDS drugs in supercritical carbon dioxide
(2003)
Solubility data for pharmacological drugs in supercritical fluids (SCFs) is of great
importance, because there is an environmental and cost effective need for alternative
specialty separation methods.
This research was ...
Separational purification of nitrate from inedible biomass leachate by electrodialysis: fouling effect
(2004)
The removal of nitrate and potassium from wheat leachate solution was studied
using an electrolytic cell in batch recirculation mode for use in advance life
support systems (ALSS). The ALSS or CELSS (Controlled Ecological ...
Effects of environmental parameters on the chemical signature of landmines
(2005)
The presence of buried landmines is an environmental problem in many parts of the
world; strategies to detect and remove landmines are being developed; one of these
strategies is the developing of chemical based sensors. ...
