MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Structural and Mechanical Responses to Intermittent Parathyroid Hormone Treatment, Discontinuation, and Cyclic Administration Regimens”
Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.eduBone mineral density rapidly decreases upon withdrawal from intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment despite its potent effect of promoting bone formation. To better understand this adverse phenomenon, this study first […]
CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Investigation of High-Surface-Area Titanate (ATiO3) Thin Films Prepared by Atomic Layer Deposition
Zoom - Email CBE for linkAbstract: "Heterogeneous catalysis is critically important in the chemical-processing and energy-related industries. Ideally, reaction sites on heterogeneous catalysts can be regenerated, and the catalysts should be active throughout the catalytic […]
CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Study of Metal Catalysts Supported on Thin Films of Perovskites prepared by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD)
Zoom - Email CBE for linkAbstract: Sintering is a severe problem with supported-metal catalysts in high-temperature applications, such as in automotive-emissions control, because it leads to a loss of catalytically active surface area. To stabilize […]
