Remote infrared spectroscopy detection of highly energetic materials
(2015-12)
An Open-Path Standoff Detection System was designed using a telescope coupled to a EM27 Fourier Transform infrared spectrometer equipped with a mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) cryocooled detector. Samples of highly energetic ...
Synthesis, structural and cytotoxic studies of Metallocene-estrogen hormones conjugates for hormone dependent breast cancer application
(2019)
In this work we present the synthesis, characterization and application of a series of ferrocene-hormone conjugates at position 16 of the estrogen hormone moiety in order to develop a new class of metal-based therapeutic ...
Design fundamentals of plasmonic substrates for surface-enhanced Raman Scattering Applications
(2019-05-13)
The use of nanomachining methods capable of reproducible construction of nano-arrayed devices have revolutionized the field of plasmonic sensing through the introduction of rationally engineered designs. Significant strives ...
Exploring Centrin targets: KRR1, and the Centrin-SFI1p21 complex salt-bridge interaction
(2015)
Centrins are small calcium binding proteins and ubiquitous centrosome components. Centrins play a fundamental role in the structure and function of centrioles, basal bodies, primary cilia and the microtubule-organizing ...
Sorption of VOCs and PAHs onto recycled tire crumb rubber
(2011)
Sorption of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) (ethylbenzene, toluene and xylene) and Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) (acenaphthene, acenaphthylene and phenanthrene) by tire crumb rubber (TCR) and its main components were ...
Pathogenic bacteria detection by coupled water-soluble Cd- and Zn-based fluorescent nanocrystals
(2019-05-15)
Semiconductors quantum dots are considered very promising candidates for bio-imaging, microorganism detection and diagnosis applications, among others, because of their tunable optical properties and good optical stability ...
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 ...
A new tandem strategy for the synthesis of α,β-epoxyketones from terminal alkynes
(2019-05-15)
Because of its unique reactivity profile and synthetic utility, epoxides have captivated and attracted the organic chemistry community since their discovery. They are valuable precursors of many bioactive natural and ...
Crystallographic structures of hemoglobin II (HbII) from Lucina Pectinata in the 4–9 pH range
(2011)
Lucina pectinata’s ctenidia contains three hemeproteins: the hydrogen sulfide reactive hemoglobin I (HbI) and the oxygen transporting hemoglobins II and III (HbII and HbIII) that remain unaffected by the presence of H2S. ...
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy of vegetative cells and endospores of Bacillus thuringiensis as a model for detection of biothreats
(2012-05)
The development of rapid and efficient techniques for biological detection, identification and classification has a positive impact in fields ranging medical, environmental and industrial microbiology to biological warfare ...
