- Description:
- Global energy demands are expected to increase by about one-third between 2014 and 2040 and will surely be met from a combination of wind, solar, and among other renewable sources. The shift away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energies will ensure a clean and sustainable future. The main issue...

- Description:
- This dissertation seeks to explore how physical forces, notably through the use of magnetic nanoparticles and applied fields, can influence the structural outcomes of colloidal crystals engineered with DNA. Chapter 1 describes how both DNA and magnetic fields can direct the assembly of nanoparticles into periodic and sometimes crystalline materials....

- Description:
- Despite prevention and treatment, substantial risk for cardiovascular disease(CVD) remains in the population and CVD has been the leading global cause-of-death in past years.While high-density lipoprotein (HDL) markers such as HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and HDL efflux (a cholesterol-transport-function assay) are associated with decreased risk of CVD, the mechanism of this...

- Description:
- The dynamics of human joints are fundamental characteristic of the human motor system, and altered joint impedance can hinder mobility. Individuals with transtibial amputation typically experience slower and energetically costly gait, while individuals with chronic stroke experience persisting gait deficits arising from spasticity, hypertonia and paresis. Investigating joint impedance of...

- Description:
- We often criticize people for having beliefs that are not sufficiently supported by the total available evidence. We do this even if those beliefs are instrumental to satisfying their desires. This leads to a question: why should people care about following the evidence, especially when doing so is not instrumental...

- Staphylococcus aureus (SA) is a leading cause of healthcare-associated and community-acquired infection in the United States. Despite the canonical thinking that antibodies and B cells are the main drivers of protection against extracellular pathogens, T cells are now recognized as critical players in protection against SA in multiple routes of...

- Description:
- Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally-invasive treatment method that aims to destroy undesired tissue by exposing it to alternating current in the 100 kHz to 800 kHz frequency range and heating it until it is destroyed via coagulative necrosis. Ablation treatment is gaining momentum especially in cancer research, where the undesired...

- Description:
- This dissertation investigates the use of organic and semiconductor nanomaterials as chromophores in solar fuels production and energy transfer-mediated [2+2] cycloadditions. A series of novel N-annulated perylene chromophore amphiphiles was synthesized via a modular synthesis. These perylene amphiphiles were found to self-assemble in aqueous solution, forming extended ribbon-like nanostructures that...
