Adsorption of DNA Oligonucleotides by Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles
(American Chemical Society, 2014-01-28)Titanium dioxide (TiO2) or titania shows great promise in detoxification and drug delivery. To reach its full potential, it is important to interface TiO2 with biomolecules to harness their molecular recognition function. ... -
Correlation of photobleaching, oxidation and metal induced fluorescence quenching of DNA-templated silver nanoclusters
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-04-07)Few-atom noble metal nanoclusters have attracted a lot of interest due to their potential applications in biosensor development, imaging and catalysis. DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) are of particular interest ... -
DNA-Length-Dependent Fluorescence Signaling on Graphene Oxide Surface
(Wiley, 2012-02-10)Fluorescence energy transfer to graphene oxide is studied using covalently linked DNA probes ranging from 4 to 70 base pairs. The characteristic distance and mechanism of energy transfer are reported. -
Galaxy Morphology In Cluster Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-25)It is a well known fact that cluster environments favour early-type galaxies over late- type. However, the physical origin of the correlation remains uncertain. We focus specifically on the external environmental mechanisms ... -
Star Formation and Quenching in Galaxies: Groups, Clusters, and Mergers
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-21)This thesis studies the impact of galaxy environment on star formation and ‘quenching’, by using simple physically-motivated models that can be fit using available observed quantities. Quenching refers to the close to total ...
