Temperature-dependent sum-frequency scattering spectroscopy is used to study the properties of hexadecane and dodecane oil droplets in water. The sum-frequency scattering spectra contain vibrational bands that correspond to the symmetric and antisymmetric ...
Following the release of crude oil from the Macondo well in 2010, a wide range of weathering processes acted on the spilled oil. A recent study revealed that samples from this spill were oxidized into oxygenated hydrocarbons (OxHC) comprising more than 50% ...
Ultra low cycle fatigue (ULCF) is a phenomenon that can be summarily defined as the deterioration of material properties under high amplitude cyclic loading, under which failure is reached typically within ten to twenty cycles. This phenomenon is observed ...
Experimental' measurements of the rate coefficient (k(app)) and apparent enthalpies and entropies of activation (Delta H-app arid Delta S-app) for alkane cracking catalyzed by acidic zeolites can be used to characterize the effects of zeolite structure and ...
This thesis introduces modern computational approaches for quantifying and analyzing both intra- and intermolecular interactions. An original formalism to quantify intramolecular interactions ab initio is first introduced. Inspired from intermolecular Symm ...
For different hydrogenated metal intercalated fullerides (Na10C60-H, Li12C60-H, and Li28C60-H) the activation energies for hydrogen desorption were determined by DSC. The Vyazovkin advanced method (VA) was used for the calculation of the reaction model fre ...
Randomly spread fibroblasts on fibronectin-coated elastomeric membranes respond to cyclic strain by a varying degree of focal adhesion assembly and actin reorganization. We speculated that the individual shape of the cells, which is linked to cytoskeletal ...
The computational elucidation and proper description of the ultrafast deactivation mechanisms of simple organic electronic units, such as thiophene and its oligomers, is as challenging as it is contentious. A comprehensive excited state dynamics analysis o ...
mmWave wireless communication is proposed for high-throughput and high-density applications. Due to the large channel bandwidth, mmWave systems face a large variation in the observed delay spread. Many proposed single-carrier (SC) mmWave systems rely on cy ...
Double cyclization of short linear peptides obtained by solid phase peptide synthesis was used to prepare bridged bicyclic peptides (BBPs) corresponding to the topology of bridged bicyclic alkanes such as norbornane. Diastereomeric norbornapeptides were in ...
