Adsorption Separation of Reaction Product From Ionic Liquid Reaction Mixture for Conversion of Biomass Into 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)
Nov 8, 2010
Wei Liu
Separation of non-volatile reaction products in ionic liquid catalytic processes has been a challenging problem yet is crucial for practicality, due to high viscosity, non-volatility, and easy solidification of the ionic liquid fluid. In this presentation, we'll discuss separation of 5-...
Unit Operations for Smart Nanomanufacturing
Nov 8, 2010
Roger T. Bonnecaze
There is a chasm between promising nanotechnological advances in the laboratory and commercial manufacturing. Many techniques have been developed to produce exquisitely controlled nanopatterned surfaces with amazing and potentially valuable properties. These methods, however, are almost always on...
Exploring Bistable Molecular Switches and Their Functional Roles Using a Meta-Analysis That Integrates Expression Data with Regulatory Networks
Nov 8, 2010
Ming Wu
An important topic in systems biology is to understand the dynamic properties of the biological networks. Previous studies have provided important insights into the mechanistic principles of dynamic behaviors by applying kinetic modeling to condition-specific and very small networks. However, it...
Toward Low-Cost Fabrication of Microchannel Process Technologies – Cost Modeling for Manufacturing Development
Nov 8, 2010
Steven D. Leith
Chemical and energy conversion systems based on microchannel process technology (MPT) demonstrate high performance in applications in which rates are controlled by diffusive heat and mass transfer flux. MPT-based heat exchangers, absorbers/desorbers and chemical reactors all benefit from process...
Sustainability and Systems Engineering: Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Chemical Plants
Nov 8, 2010
Jeffrey J. Siirola
Despite some carbon dioxide producing chemistries, Most CO2 emissions in the chemical industry result from the combustion of carbonaceous fuels. Reducing the carbon footprint of chemical plants then involves two strategies: reducing process energy requirements, and reducing the carbon emissions...
Genomic Approaches to Evolutionary History of Primate Cytochromes c
Nov 8, 2010
Lawrence I. Grossman
Cytochrome c (cyt c) is a highly conserved protein among eukaryotes, mainly owing to its pivotal role in two crucial cellular processes: apoptosis and respiratory chain function. Despite its overall stability, previous studies have reported on the human lineage: (i) a high amino acid evolution rate...
Identification of Cell-Type Specific Transcripts for Informative Diagnostics
Nov 8, 2010
Younhee Ko
The identification of cell-type specific or brain-region specific transcripts adds specificity for the diagnosis of a wide variety of brain disorders, such as traumatic brain injury or brain cancers. One goal of identifying cell-type and brain-region specific genes is that they encode for proteins...

A Compact Integrated Warm Syngas Overall Cleanup System
Nov 8, 2010
Liyu Li
Gasification of coal or biomass to syngas followed by catalytic synthesis of ammonia, hydrocarbons or oxygenates provides a feasible strategy to meet the increasing demand for fertilizers and transportation fuels. This syngas has many impurities, including As, Be, Cd, Cl, Cr, Hg, K, N, Na, P, Pb, S...
Integrated Computational Materials Engineering: A Transformational Discipline for Improved Competitiveness and National Security
Nov 8, 2010
John Allison
A new field of study is evolving within the materials profession called Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME). ICME involves development of unified materials models which integrate information across length and time scales and across knowledge domains and enables integration of...
A Comprehensive Profiling of Genome-Wide Transcriptional Programs of Primary Hepatocytes in Vitro Cultures
Nov 8, 2010
Yeonhee Kim
The liver is one of most important organs in our bodies and performs many essential functions including metabolism, synthesis, secretion, detoxification, and storage. Hepatocytes are the principal cell type that accounts for 80% of liver and involved in major liver-specific functions. In vitro...
