Efficiency of selected shapes of grit chamber troughs
… determine which was the most efficient for the selective capture of grit. The model was constructed of wood, with plastic, interchangeable troughs, and was six inches wide by about ten feet long, including a three foot approach channel to the chamber. The three troughs were six inches deep with …

Understanding the impact of polymer functionalized electrode fabrication and cycling conditions on stability and selective separation of micropollutants
The main focus of this thesis is on selectively separating target contaminants present in an aqueous environment via electrochemically-mediated capture at polymer interfaces in order to improve water security. Heavy metal pollutants such as arsenic have diverse physico-chemical properties which …

Lewis base catalyzed enantioselective oxysulfenylation of alkenes
… been harnessed in the development of an enantioselective oxysulfenylation reaction for unactivated alkenes. The weak Lewis acid N-(phenylthio)-phthalimide can be activated in the presence of a moderate Brønsted acid and chiral Lewis base donors. The resulting complex is a powerful sulfenylating …

NON-FOULING AFFINITY PLATFORMS FOR PROTEIN IMMOBILIZATION IN ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
… acid substituents that promotes specific capture of protein targets for high resolution TEM analysis. The utilization of these grids for specific adsorption of the targeted protein onto the grid surface results in well-controlled surface concentration enhancements and a days-to-minutes …

Biofunctionalization of Submicrometer Pores and Mass Limited Sample Manipulations in Three-Dimensional Hybrid Microfluidic/nanofluidic Devices
… of antibody on the inner walls of the NCAM. Selective capture and release of the specific analyte using the Fab' modified NCAM are demonstrated offline using scanning electron microscopy and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ToF-MS). …

Selective Enrichment Through Capture (SEC): A Technology for Retrieving Specific DNA Sequences from Complex Mixtures
The capacity to selectively target DNA sequences within a complex mixture is a useful feature for genomic studies. Several methods aimed at undertaking this feat have utilized biotinylated oligonucleotides and streptavidin beads to capture DNA but have low efficiencies, require PCR, or cannot be …

Ecology of the Endangered Sandy Cay Rock Iguana, Cyclura rileyi cristata, in the Bahamas
… highly skewed toward male iguanas (95% of noose captures). Thus, as few as 10 female iguanas may remain in the population. Glue-traps set near burrows proved to be more effective than noosing for the selective capture of females. However, no females of reproductive size were captured. Three …

Characterisation of metal-organic frameworks with inherent functionalisation for carbon capture methods
Carbon Capture offers potential remediation for greenhouse gases from industrial point sources, and physical sorbents are an economically viable option, but one that requires optimisation. Here, materials were investigated to assess the effect of incorporation of functionalised ligands, which …

Physiological and behavioral drivers of angling vulnerability in freshwater sportfish
… change in fish populations as a result of selective harvest, a process known as Fisheries-Induced Evolution (FIE). Much of this research has focused on commercially-harvested marine populations, though recent work has also shown that FIE can also occur in freshwater systems targeted by …

Characterization of redox active materials to enable electrochemical separations through faradaic deionization
… high energy consumption, and inability to selectively remove specific ions. FDI employs redox active materials with higher charge storage capacity, high selectivity, and offers low energy consumption for the separation process by operating within a moderate potential window. This work is …
