On the non-microbial sources and sinks of dissolved metabolites in seawater by Germolus, Noah Paul

“…This thesis begins to interrogate that assumption, asking if there are other processes that could change the seawater exometabolome on time scales that are relevant to microbial life. In Chapter 1 I discuss the ways ambient metabolite pools could be affected by animals, chemistry, and physics. …”

Investigating cofactor transfer for a B₁₂-dependent enzyme by Duong, Alexander T.

“…These cofactors enable these metalloenzymes to accomplish a diverse set of unique and challenging chemistry that are critical to core life functions. One of these metallocofactors, adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl), has only one cognate enzyme in humans: methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM), which is involved in the catabolism of several amino acids, cholesterol, and odd-chain fatty acids. …”

Cathode material investigation towards high-performance aluminum batteries by Gong, Xuefei

“…Additionally, hybrid Al-Li-ion batteries, with Li+ intercalation/de-intercalation participation in the cathode materials and Al stripping/deposition at anode, is proposed to enhance kinetics, increase capacities and prolong cycling life as well as maintain dendrite-free . The improved electrochemical performance can be ascribed to the less electrostatic interactions between monovalent Li+ with the framework of cathode materials and the faster mobility of Li+ insertion/extraction into/from host materials.…”
