Longtin, Nicole Ann (2019-07-09)In the search for renewable energy alternatives to traditional energy sources, microbial fuel cells are emerging as a potential solution. MFCs can produce electricity while simultaneously treating wastewater or powering a ...
-
Gejji, Varun Madhav (2019-07-25)Focus on microalgae continues to grow for the production of biomass and various valueadded products including proteins, lipids, and pigments. The bioproducts from microalgae have found their applications not only in the ...
-
Althawab, Suleiman Abdullah S (2017-08-01)Listeria monocytogenes is the third most frequent cause of death from foodborne illnesses in the United States. Conventional methods for detecting L. monocytogenes are time-consuming and require highly trained personnel ...
-
Sidhu, Raminderdeep Kaur (2015-11-20)This research investigated impedimetric lab-on-a-chip biosensors for selective detection of foodborne pathogen, Listeria spp., using aptamers. Listeria was chosen as a model target due to its impact on the agricultural and ...
-
Hills, Katherine Denise (2016-01-15)Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most common causes of food illness deaths in the world, with multiple outbreaks in the United States alone. The goal of this study was to design biosensors using aptamers with the ...

Guo, Shengchun (2018-05-04)Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional protein presented in various organs and body fluids in human body. OPN serves important roles in bone remolding, wound healing, and other biomineralization related physiological ...
-
Kulkarni, Sayali Vishwas (2018-06-14)Microalgae are a rich source of various high-value biomolecules such as lipids, carbohydrates, protein and pigments. However, extraction of multiple high-value products is essential for sustainability and commercial ...
-
Martinez, Marco Concepcion (2017-07-24)There are numerous opportunities in the lifecycle of oil extraction, transport, and use where it can potentially contaminate the environment, in particular water and soil. Various technologies have been developed to remediate ...
-
Hill, Laura; Gomes, Carmen (Materials Research Express, 2014-09-25)Chitosan and alginate are both pH-responsive biopolymers extracted from crustacean exoskeletons and brown algae, respectively. Poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAAM) is a hydrogel that becomes hydrophobic at a lower-critical ...
-
Mantilla, Natalia (2012-07-16)In the last few years, especially in the developed countries, an increment in demand for fresh-cut fruit by the consumers of all ages has occurred. This increase is mainly due to the importance that people are giving to ...
-
Zhang, Sikai (2017-12-11)Energy generation via natural gas is viewed as one of the most promising environmentally friendly solutions for ever-increasing energy demand. Of the several alternatives available, natural gas-powered fuel cells are ...
-
Ravi, Ayswarya (2019-07-12)Biotherapeutics are lifesaving drugs, but their cost is prohibitively high for widespread use. Multiple chromatography operations required to meet stringent regulatory standards, contributes up to 70% of manufacturing cost. ...
-
Summerlin III, Harvey Newell (2017-06-27)A growing population and demand for food force agricultural leaders to look for alternative water sources. Wastewater reuse could be introduced into commercial operations, if regulations and measures are in place to ensure ...
-
Cipriano, Paula De Aguiar (2016-05-19)This study characterized Purple sweet potato (PSP) polyphenolics and heating increments associated to PPO inhibitors (citric acid, oxalic acid, and sodium borate) to inactivate enzyme and enhance pigment recovery. Hydrolyzed ...
-
Mahadevan, Aishwarya (2019-07-24)Iron-sulfur complexes, the first link between proteins and mediating molecules in the biological electron transport chain(s), possess intrinsic electron transport capabilities. In this work, the application of inorganic ...
-
Brantsen, Julia F (2020-08-21)Sorghum derived 3-deoxyanthocyanin (3-DXA) are of growing interest as natural food colors due to their unique stability compared to anthocyanins. The commercial use of 3-DXA is limited due to the poor extractability and ...
