Knowledge, Attitudes, and Perceptions of Advanced Practice Providers Regarding Use of Buffered Versus Non-Buffered Lidocaine Hydrochloride 1% for Interventional Procedural Pain Management in Adults
(Georgetown University, 2018)
The purpose of this study was to examine: a) knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of advanced practice providers (APPs) - nurse practitioners (NPs), and physician assistants (PAs) - regarding the use of buffered versus ...
Uric Acid Crystals
(Georgetown University, 2018)
Uric acid is a crystalline component in kidney stones and gout deposits. In the work described herein, a variety of approaches are adopted to (1) create more soluble forms of uric acid, (2) examine the effects of additives ...
Phase Control of Diphenylureas Through Co-Crystallization and Template-Directed Methods
(Georgetown University, 2018)
Phase selectivity of polymorphic diarylurea derivatives has been achieved through templated nucleation and co-crystallization techniques, and assorted methods for engineering the crystal growth of small, organic model ...
Applications of Asymmetric Catalysis and Green Chemistry Principles Towards the Synthesis of Chiral Multifunctional Alcohols and Organofluorine Compounds
(Georgetown University, 2018)
Asymmetric reaction development and synthesis of chiral building blocks are fundamental to the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sciences. Specifically, the field of asymmetric catalysis has amassed a growing body of reactions ...
Metal-Oxo Polymer Nanobeads as Potential Multi-Modal Contrast Agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(Georgetown University, 2018)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become one of the most powerful non-invasive imaging modalities in clinical diagnostics and research, being able to distinguish soft tissues at a very high spatial resolution. The use ...
Unusual Carbon-Carbon Bonding in π-Conjugated Cyclic Hydrocarbons by High Pressure and in Quinonoid Diradicals by Mild Stimuli
(Georgetown University, 2018)
This work presents a series of [n]-Cycloparaphenylenes ([n]CPPs, n=5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12) subjected to ambient and high pressures and their in situ Raman spectra. All Raman experiments were done by our collaborates. ...
Mechanistic Studies of Enhancing Performance of Pt-Based Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction and Formic Acid Oxidation Reaction by Surface Modifications
(Georgetown University, 2018)
Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has been a topic of great interest due to its importance in energy conversion. Currently, the insufficient activity and high cost of electrocatalysts are the main reasons that ...
Complexation of Air Gases in Small Cryptophanes
(Georgetown University, 2018)
The molecule-within-molecule complexes of the container molecules constitute a fascinating branch of supramolecular chemistry that has broad-reaching implications. Since 1981, cryptophanes, defined by the connection of two ...
