Carbon-Based Materials for Thermoelectrics
(2018)
This article reviews the recent progress towards achieving carbon-based thermoelectric materials. A wide range of experimental and computational studies on carbon allotropes and composites is covered in this review paper. ...
Insulin-like growth factors and their potential role in cardiac epigenetics
(2016)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) constitutes a major public health threat worldwide, accounting for 17.3 million deaths annually. Heart disease and stroke account for the majority of healthcare costs in the developed world. ...
Inhibition of A beta(42) oligomerization in yeast by a PICALM ortholog and certain FDA approved drugs
(2016)
The formation of small A beta 42 oligomers has been implicated as a toxic species in Alzheimer disease (AD). In strong support of this hypothesis we found that overexpression of Yap1802, the yeast ortholog of the human AD ...
Reaction mechanism from quantum molecular dynamics for the initial thermal decomposition of 2, 4, 6-triamino-1, 3, 5-triazine-1, 3, 5-trioxide (MTO) and 2, 4, 6-trinitro-1, 3, 5-triazine-1, 3, 5-trioxide (MTO3N), promising green energetic materials
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)
Klapötke and co-workers recently designed two new materials, 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine-1,3,5-trioxide (MTO) and 2,4,6-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine-1,3,5-trioxide (MTO3N), envisioned as candidates for green high-energy ...
Initial Decomposition Reactions of Bicyclo-HMX [BCHMX or cis-1, 3, 4, 6-Tetranitrooctahydroimidazo-[4, 5-d] imidazole] from Quantum Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(American Chemical Society, 2015)
We investigated the initial chemical reactions of BCHMX [cis-1,3,4,6-tetranitrooctahydroimidazo-[4,5-d]imidazole] with the following procedure. First we used density functional theory molecular dynamics simulations (DFT-MD) ...
Prediction of the crystal packing of di‐tetrazine‐tetroxide (DTTO) energetic material
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2016)
Previous calculations suggested that di‐tetrazine‐tetroxide (DTTO), aka tetrazino‐tetrazine‐tetraoxide, might have a particularly large density (2.3 g/cm3) and high energy release (8.8 kJ/kg), but it has not yet been ...
Development and field validation of an environmental DNA (eDNA) assay for invasive clams of the genus Corbicula
(2018)
Early detection is imperative for successful control or eradication of invasive species, but many organisms are difficult to detect at the low abundances characteristic of recently introduced populations. Environmental DNA ...
Reclaiming Suburbia: Differences in Local Identity and Public Perceptions of Potable Water Reuse
(2019)
Urban water managers are increasingly interested in incorporating reclaimed water into drinking supplies, particularly in rapidly growing arid and semi-arid urban areas, such as the western United States. Northern Nevada ...
Genome-wide association analysis identifies genetic variations in subjects with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
(2016)
Myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome or ME/CFS, is a multifactorial and debilitating disease that has an impact on over 4 million people in the United States alone. The pathogenesis of ME/CFS ...
Hydrothermal carbonization of glucose in saline solution: sequestration of nutrients on carbonaceous materials (vol 4, pg 173, 2016)
(2018)
In this study, feasibility of selected nutrient sequestration during hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) was tested for three different HTC temperatures (180, 230, and 300 °C). To study the nutrient sequestration in solid ...
