Method development for separation and analysis of tire and road wear particles from roadside soil samples
(American Chemical Society, 2022-09-06)A comprehensive understanding of tire and road wear particles (TRWPs) and their detection and quantification in soils is still challenged by the lack of well-set standardized methods, inherent technological inconsistencies, ... -
Synthesis of some substituted dibenzofurans
(Wichita State University, 1949-06) -
Newly identified C–H⋯O hydrogen bond in histidine
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-06-19)New Cδ–H⋯O histidine hydrogen bonding interactions in various proteins are identified by neutron diffraction and computationally characterized. Neutron diffraction data shows several H-bond motifs with the Cδ–H moiety in ... -
Determination of surface areas of finely divided materials
(Wichita State University, 1948-05) -
The syntheses of penicillamine and penicillamine derivatives
(Wichita State University, 1948-12)The purpose of this investigation was to attempt the syntheses of penicillamine and penicillamine derivatives in a more practical manner than heretofore done, and to investigate some of the conditions necessary for the ... -
Discovery of a Redox-activatable chemical probe for detection of cyclooxygenase-2 in cells and animals
(American Chemical Society, 2022-07-15)Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression is up-regulated in inflammatory tissues and many premalignant and malignant tumors. Assessment of COX-2 protein in vivo, therefore, promises to be a powerful strategy to distinguish ... -
Probing adaptation of hydration and protein dynamics to temperature
(American Chemical Society, 2022-06-28)Protein dynamics is strongly influenced by the surrounding environment and physiological conditions. Here we employ broadband megahertz-to-terahertz spectroscopy to explore the dynamics of water and myoglobin protein on ... -
A study of benzothiazole and benzothiazine derivatives
(Wichita State University, 1947-09) -
The reduction of omega-nitrostyrene
(Wichita State University, 1947-07)A survey of the literature reveals that a good general method for the preparation of arylacetaldehydee is desirable. Since omega-nitrovinylaryl compounds are readily prepared from nitromethane and arylaldehydes, the ... -
Synthetic antimalarials of the quinoline series
(Wichita State University, 1946-05) -
Polymeric biomaterials for wound healing applications: a comprehensive review
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022-06-19)Chronic wounds have been a global health threat over the past few decades, requiring urgent medical and research attention. The factors delaying the wound-healing process include obesity, stress, microbial infection, aging, ... -
Characterization of PET tracer Flutemetamol (GE-067) binding to Aβ1-40 fibrils
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-29)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological disorder and the most common cause of dementia. One of the major pathological hallmarks of AD is the deposition of amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) into plaques. In the past decade, ... -
STEAM education: GeoGebra in 3D printing
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-29)This research is investigating what Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) concepts and skills can be developed through the use of GeoGebra in 3D printing for learners at all levels, starting from ... -
Cylindrical sheet forming analysis of hexagonal cell honeycomb core using 3D finite element analysis
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-29)Honeycomb structures have become one of the most popular alternatives for substituting conventional solid materials in the aviation industry due to their excellent high stiffness and low weight capabilities. Honeycomb ... -
Dependence of proline isomerization on the kinetics of folding of anthrax lethal factor
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-29)The death that can come within a few days after exposure to the anthrax toxin from $Bacillus$ $anthracis$ is due to the presence and effects of anthrax lethal factor (LF). LF is a zinc metalloproteinase whose function ... -
Identification of lithic processing stages at Boxed Springs (41UR30)
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-29)Boxed Springs (41UR30) is an early Caddo site (800-1200 CE) located in East Texas that has been a known site since the 1950s and excavated by archaeologists, volunteers, and looters. The site is documented to be poor in ... -
Hot-press manufacturing of aluminum based multi-layered wick structures for enhanced thermal performance
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-29)INTRODUCTION: Two phase passive heat transfer devices such as vapor chambers are used in modern miniaturized electronic devices and state-of-the-art CubeSat systems. These vapor chambers consist of three base components ... -
$^{19}F$-NMR studies to understand pH induced structural changes in protective antigen anthrax toxin
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-29)Anthrax bacteria ($Bacillus$ $anthracis$) produces Protective antigen toxin (PA), Lethal factor (LF) and Edema factor (EF) protein components into the host cells. Protective antigen toxin (PA83 - 83kDa polypeptide) binds ... -
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of small molecules with potential antibacterial and antiviral activity
(Wichita State University, 2022-05)In recent years, the ongoing explosion of antibiotic-resistance and viral infections has posed a major threat to global public health and called for the development of new therapeutics. Here, a set of novel compounds are ... -
A$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ (A = Ba and Pb): a good platform to study the polymorph effect and lone pair effect to form an acentric structure
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-05-14)Three ternary thiophosphates α-Ba$_2$P$_2$S$_6$, β-Ba$_2$P$_2$S$_6$, and Pb$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ were synthesized via a high temperature salt flux method or an I2 transport reaction. β-Ba$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ and Pb$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ were ...
