- Description:
- Formed through self-assembly of polynuclear node clusters and multitopic organic linkers, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of three-dimensional crystalline materials. Due to their exceptional porosity, high surface areas, amenability to construction, chemical diversity, uniformly arrayed metal-containing nodes, and highly modular nature, MOFs are an ideal class of materials for...

- Description:
- This dissertation explores the design and evaluation of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies for people with aphasia. Humans use speech and language to communicate their thoughts and opinions as well as express their individuality, autonomy and agency (George Armitage Miller 1951; Ahearn 2001). Speech and language are important tools...

- Although centrosomes nucleate and organize microtubules in mitotically-dividing cells, spindles in female reproductive cells (oocytes) form in their absence. In some organisms acentrosomal spindle assembly is mediated by acentriolar microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) that are thought to functionally replace centrosomes. However, spindle assembly in human oocytes does not require MTOCs;...
