Monolayer

Introduction In the past century extensive research has been conducted on porous organometallic compounds for use in various material applications. Although numerous compounds containing Lewis bases, such as nitriles and bipyridines and have been reported to be successful at the sorption of small molecules, the desorption of the guest often leads to structural collapse of the host. 1,2 Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown to be a valuable class of newer materials that can support permanent

Graphene is a hexagonal two-dimensional (2D) monolayer of honeycomb lattice packed carbon structure that was discovered and successfully isolated from bulk graphite just a few years ago [1]. It is continuously receiving attention from the research community due to its outstanding mechanical, thermal and electrical properties [2]. Due to its fascinating properties, graphene is emerging as a potential candidate material for enormous nano-technological applications such as memory devices [3], nano-sensors

Introduction If the endothelium were to be considered an organ, it would be without a doubt the largest, with its 6 trillion cells, area of 5000m2, and 1kg weight. With knowledge of the endothelium stemming back to the early 1600s with William Harvey’s work on the circulation as a closed circuit with a pump and Marcello Malpighi’s observations of blood capillaries, the focus over the next 400 years was mainly on the pump itself, leading to the creation of a major clinical field – cardiology. Although

Margaret Edson is a wonderfully author. Currently she is a teacher living in the suburbs of Atlanta with her partner and two little boys. She wrote Wit nearly twenty years ago. Edson had just graduated as a Magna Cum Laude from Smith College with an undergraduate in Renaissance history in 1983. After graduation she earned a job at a hot dog stand 1988, according to her in her interview with the New York Times it was the only job that someone with a B.A. in Renaissance History could get. Luckily for

1. INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW New generation photovoltaic cells based on organic materials possess the potential for the low cost and large area production on mechanically flexible substrates. These are lightweight and suitable for the applications such as foldable and portable solar cells. Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have not achieved efficiencies comparable to the inorganic solar cells due to poor charge carrier mobility [1]. Recent developments of optimizing the organic absorbing

Salmonella Introduction Salmonella is known as a gram-negative, rod shaped bacillus. It is a facultative anaerobe in the family Enterobacteriaceae (Todar). There are more than 1,000 known types of Salmonella, with ranging levels of toxicity (Jones), accounting for 60% of all bacterial diseases (Curtello). Salmonellosis has affected over 1.4 million people per year in the United States, including more than 500 fatal cases (Jones). This organism has a wide host range with abilities to attack both animals

Abstract Aim of this project is to study opportunities and challenges of novel biosensor technology for cancer diagnosis/prognosis and how people perceive the technology in relation to the risk involve. Study shows the earlier cancer is been perceived in a person, higher chance of there being a cure for it. Lately, most cancers are detected and diagnosed after it has fully grown. Hence, sensitive and accurate methods for early detection of relevant biomarkers for clinical diagnosis are of essence

“It has been estimated that 69 percent of Americans age 35 to 44 have at least one missing tooth, and one in four over the age of 74 have lost ALL their natural teeth” (American Academy of Implant Dentistry, 2013). “A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge” (American Academy of Periodontology, 2014). Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other

verview 1. What is BK virus? BK polyomavirus (BKV) is a non-enveloped and circular double-stranded DNA virus in the Polyomaviridae family. BKV has a genome of approximately 5100 nucleotides [1] that is packed by host-cell histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4, thereby forming a minichromosome [2, 3]. It was first isolated in 1970 from urine collected from a renal transplant recipient whose initials were B.K. It causes symptomatic and asymptomatic human infection [4]. After primary infection, usually acquired
