The syntheses, spectroscopic characterizations, and fluorescence quenching efficiencies of
polymers and copolymers containing tetraphenylsilole- or silafluorene-vinylene repeat units …

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of a series of new blue-emitting
silafluorene–fluorene copolymers is described. The polymers are synthesized using kinetically …

The syntheses, spectroscopic characterization, and fluorescence quenching efficiencies of 1,1-silole−
and 1,1-silafluorene−phenylenedivinylene polymers are reported. Model dimeric …

The detection of trace explosives is important for forensic, military, and homeland security
applications. Detection of widely used nitroaromatic explosives (trinitrotoluene [TNT], 2,4‐…

Polycarbosilanes exhibit desirable physiochemical properties such as high thermal stability,
elastomeric behavior, diverse functional group tolerance, electronic delocalization, and …

We created a multiplex, quantitative, real-time PCR assay that amplifies cytomegalovirus (CMV)
and human DNA in the same reaction tube, allowing for a viral load determination that is …

The double transesterification polymerization of 3′,6′-bis(pinacolatoboron)fluoran and
pentaerythritol is reported. A model dimeric compound was synthesized to demonstrate the …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are metabolites produced almost exclusively by the gut
microbiota and are an essential mechanism by which gut microbes influence host physiology. …

This article describes the use of fractal simulations of African design in a high school computing
class. Fractal patterns---repetitions of shape at multiple scales---are a common feature in …

The family of Janus Kinases (JAKs) associated with the JAK–signal transducers and activators
of transcription signaling pathway plays a vital role in the regulation of various cellular …
