The optical frequency comb is rapidly maturing from a laboratory curiosity to a critically enabling technology in areas ranging from dual-comb spectroscopy of atmospheric gasses, to precision time dissemination, to the search for earth sized exoplanets.
As global energy demands increase, new forms of energy storage are required for both short- and long-term storage applications. Electrochemical energy storage systems (i.e. batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors) are of great appeal for versatility and ease of use.
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is an integral water channel protein located in the plasma membrane of astrocyte cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and helps to regulate water-ion homeostasis. Some isoforms of AQP4 further order themselves into aggregates known as orthogonal arrays of particles (OAPs).
System security design is often focused on adding technology to a system to reduce risk.
Self-assembled molecular systems hold great promise for programmed surface functionality. There has been significant development in recent years in using redox-active organic ligands to coordinatesingle transition metal centers in patterned arrays at surfaces.
Thiols play critical roles in cell biology. These include maintaining redox homeostasis, as well as the modulation and regulation of protein activity. Dysregulation of thiols has been linked to several diseases including diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease. For this reason, there is a need for tools for the detection and labeling of thiols. Thiol blocking reagents can be used to label and identification of protein thiols.
College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Academy, Spring Book Club Discussion Focusing on how we can strengthen students’ cognitive processes through mindfulness in the classroom, we will be discussing the research base and brief, practical strategies for practicing, drawing on Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning.

Title: Module Smart Molecules for PSMA-Targeted Chemotherapy
Abstract: Prostate cancer is a dynamic and heterogeneous disease, necessitating a diverse arsenal of targeted chemotherapeutic agents for treatment. The cell-surface enzyme prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a hallmark biomarker for targeted therapy and imaging of prostate cancer. While considerable efforts and…
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are ubiquitous in massive galaxies and grow through the accretion of galactic circumnuclear material. During periods of growth, radiation from these active galactic nuclei(AGNs) can dominate the electromagnetic spectrum.

Title: Examining the Lewis Acid-Base Interactions Between Uranyl Complexes and Various Lewis Acids
Abstract: The reactivity of the uranyl cation ([UO2]2+) is an underdeveloped area of uranium chemistry due to the high stability of the U=O bond, which is resistant to ligand exchange or cleavage. Current research has focused on…
Auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) is a stochastic method which offers great potential to solve persisting issues in thermochemical calculations of actinides.
The protein machinery for biological conversion of sunlight into chemical energy is harbored in one of nature’s most sophisticated membrane system, the thylakoid membrane inside plant chloroplasts.
Cyber security data in many ways mimics the behavior of organic systems. Individuals or groups compete for limited resources using a variety of strategies, the most effective of which are re-used and refined in later generations.
Enhance your teaching skills by giving constructive feedback on peer examples. Visiting experts from Colorado State University, Dr. Andrew West and Dr. Diana Hassel, will lead the program using video examples of both clinical and didactic teaching.
The accelerated expansion of the Universe is one of the biggest puzzles in physics: Why is gravity repulsive rather than attractive on distance scales larger than a few million lightyears?
Extend your skills in peer observation and constructive feedback by analyzing peer teaching examples. Clinical and didactic feedback keys will be used to generate constructive feedback on video observations.

Esters are an extremely important class of compounds due to their extensive use. The decomposition of esters through hydrolysis is an extremely slow kinetic process and requires extreme conditions to proceed at a reasonable rate. One catalyst system that shows promise of being able to catalyze this process are Ru complexes bearing tridente-bisphosphinoamino pincer ligands.
We plan to offer the four different Tracks: Small Animal, Equine, Ag Animal and Technician.
Machine learning (ML) is quickly becoming a premier tool for modeling chemical processes and materials. Generally, ML provides a surrogate model trained on the dataset of some reference data. This model establishes a relationship between structure and underlying chemical properties, guiding chemical discovery.
Join with us to discuss ways we can enhance students’ learning by asking them to explain out loud what they are doing during the completion of a learning task. We will be discussing the research base and brief, practical strategies…
The Department of Physics and Astronomy invites all to a colloquium featuring Dr. Bastiaan Driehuys, Professor at Duke University School of Medicine. Dr. Driehuys will present their talk, “Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI: The Journey from the Physics Lab to the Radiology Suite”.
