CMOS-based carbon nanotube pass-transistor logic integrated circuits.
(Nature communications, 2012-02)Field-effect transistors based on carbon nanotubes have been shown to be faster and less energy consuming than their silicon counterparts. However, ensuring these advantages are maintained for integrated circuits is a challenge. ... -
Comparing Metal Collection between Unmodified and Resin-impregnated Polyurethane Foam
(2023-04-25)Indoor dust could contain numerous contaminants including metals from various origins. Polyurethane foam (PUF) has been used to measure trace metals in the ambient environment but has not been tested as a personal sampler. ... -
Masked Metal Chelators of Variable Denticity to Prevent Oxidative Stress
(2010)Cellular damage due to oxidative stress is implicated in a wide variety of conditions including degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases. One source of oxidative stress is the interaction of redox-active ... -
Measuring The Effects of Mining on Peru's Public Health: Is The Apurimac Region Prepared To Assess Heavy Metal Exposure?
(2016-04-27)Peru’s Ministry of Health has approached Duke University because it seeks help with evaluating whether heavy metals exposure (in mining regions) is associated with adverse health outcomes. To aid in this effort, I have ... -
Minding metals: tailoring multifunctional chelating agents for neurodegenerative disease.
(Dalton Trans, 2010-03-07)Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease are associated with elevated levels of iron, copper, and zinc and consequentially high levels of oxidative stress. Given the multifactorial nature of these ... -
Pseudotumor with superimposed periprosthetic infection following metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty: a case report.

Residential metal contamination and potential health risks of exposure in adobe brick houses in Potosí, Bolivia.
(The Science of the total environment, 2016-08)Potosí, Bolivia, is the site of centuries of historic and present-day mining of the Cerro Rico, a mountain known for its rich polymetallic deposits, and was the site of large-scale Colonial era silver refining operations. ... -
Survey of the potential environmental and health impacts in the immediate aftermath of the coal ash spill in Kingston, Tennessee.
(Environ Sci Technol, 2009-08-15)An investigation of the potential environmental and health impacts in the immediate aftermath of one of the largest coal ash spills in U.S. history at the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Kingston coal-burning power plant ... -
Water quality implications of the neutralization of acid mine drainage with coal fly ash from India and the United States
(Fuel, 2022-12-15)Subsurface coal mining often induces the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) in active and abandoned coal mines while coal combustion generates coal combustion residuals (CCR), including fly ash (FA), with elevated levels ...
