Construction of complex nanostructures in solution phase by Xu, Jun

“…In this thesis, the main work explored a new methodology for preparation of complex nanostructures in solution phase. There are two strategies, namely 1) block copolymer assisted nanoparticle (NP) self-assembly and 2) oil/water in-terface assembly. …”

Principled Exploration of Bipyridine and Terpyridine Additives to Promote Methylammonium Lead Iodide Perovskite Crystallization by Hartono, Noor Titan Putri, Ani Najeeb, Mansoor, Li, Zhi, Nega, Philip W., Fleming, Clare A., Sun, Xiaohe, Chan, Emory M., Abate, Antonio, Norquist, Alexander J., Schrier, Joshua, Buonassisi, Tonio

“…We present a systematic exploration of nine (9) bipyridine- and terpyridine-based additives selected from 29 candidates using high-throughput single-crystal growth. To combat selection bias and generate hypotheses for future experimental cycles of learning, we featurize candidate additives using Mordred descriptors and compare similarity metrics. …”

Methodological, political and legal issues in the assessment of the effects of nanotechnology on human health by Schulte, Paul A, Riediker, Michael, Fatkhutdinova, Liliya, Bergamaschi, Enrico, Canu, Irina Guseva

“…Forming ENM worker cohorts from a combination of smaller cohorts and overcoming selection bias are also challenges. National or international registries for monitoring the exposures and health of ENM workers would be helpful for epidemiological studies, but the creation of such a registry and ENM worker cohorts will require political support and dedicated funding at the national and international levels. …”

Biochemical Analysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Film Degradation Kinetics of Engineered IsPETase Variants by Zhong-Johnson, En Ze Linda

“…However, little is known about the surface reaction and how biochemical behavior might differ on a 2D solid surface compared to solution phase. Consequently, traditional solution-phase biochemical models, such as Michaelis-Menten, may not be directly applicable to kinetics of these enzymes, as the catalysis is occurring under a heterogeneous phase. …”

The GCSE attainment gap: assessing the influence of permanent school exclusion by Hills, Stephen, Walker, Matthew, Guinn, James, Kent, Aubrey

“…This is a critical limitation of the research due to the influence of confounding variables and sample selection bias. Using the National Pupil Database and a full cohort of UK pupils (N=590,092), our analysis tracked a sample of 1,490 pupils permanently excluded in year 11 of the English education system in 2018/19. …”

A materials science framework for connecting protein stability with surface adsorption and coating applications by Ma, Gamaliel Junren

“…The noncovalent adsorption behavior of protein molecules is governed by various interfacial forces between the protein molecule in solution and the solid surface, as well as by intramolecular forces which determine a protein’s folded structure and solution-phase conformational stability. Although a protein’s conformational stability has been closely linked to its extent of unfolding in the adsorbed state, it remains to be understood how this relationship may be exploited in order to control a protein’s adsorption behavior and adlayer properties to suit specific application needs. …”

Machine learning from quantum chemistry to predict experimental solvent effects on reaction rates by Chung, Yunsie, Green, William H.

“…In this work, we generate a large set of data with the COSMO-RS method for over 28 000 neutral reactions and 295 solvents and train a machine learning model to predict the solvation free energy and solvation enthalpy of activation (ΔΔG‡solv, ΔΔH‡solv) for a solution phase reaction. On unseen reactions, the model achieves mean absolute errors of 0.71 and 1.03 kcal mol−1 for ΔΔG‡solv and ΔΔH‡solv, respectively, relative to the COSMO-RS calculations. …”
