Simulated accelerated evolution by modeling the rapid fixation of bacteria along an antibiotic gradient
(2020)
The work in this thesis makes connections between statistical mechanics and genotype frequencies in population sizes, and how mutation of the bacteria E. coli helps to increase its resistance to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. ...
Tweezing and Manipulating Nanomaterials on Tapered Optical Fiber to Develop SurfaceEnhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Substrate
(2020)
A compact and cost-effective fiber-based probe was manufactured for the detection of chemicals
at low concentrations using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Multi-mode optical
fiber was tapered with a dynamic ...
Study of a brominated triphenylamine derivative on metal and semiconducting surfaces
(2020)
Room-temperature STM experiments were conducted for
tribromotrioxoazatriangulene, (TBTANGO), on three surfaces: Si(111)-√3x√3-R30o-B,
Ag(111), and Au(111) on mica. We found for the silicon samples there was a trade-off ...
