(1) Chem Biochem, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, United States (2) Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, , Frederick, Maryland, United States The remarkable progress made over the past two decades to grow inorganic nanomaterials, combined with careful surface functionalization strategies offer an opportunity to develop novel platforms for use in molecular imaging and as diagnostic tools. A successful integration into biological systems requires devising strategies to promote their intracellular uptake while circumventing endocytosis. We report on the use of an amphiphilic anti-microbial peptide as means of promoting the cytosolic uptake of luminescent QDs. The peptide is synthesized with a terminal cysteine to allow conjugation onto QDs that have been coated with multifunctional metal-coordinating ligands. Using fluorescence imaging and flow cytometry we find that incubating cells with the QD-peptide leads to delivery into the cytoplasm without affecting the cellular morphology or viability. We observed a homogeneous distribution of QD staining throughout the cytoplasm and without co-localization with labelled endosomes. Additional experiments where endocytosis has been eliminated (such as pre-treatment with specific inhibitors) have shown minimal effects on the intracellular QD uptake.

Gates, Alexander Abstract A novel nanoelectronic digital logic circuit was designed to control a millimeter-scale walking robot using a nanowire circuit architecture. This nanoelectronic circuit has a number of benefits, including extremely small size and relatively low power consumption. These make it ideal for controlling microelectromechnical systems (MEMS), such as a millirobot. Simulations were performed using a SPICE circuit simulator, and unique device models were constructed in this research to assess the function and integrity of the nanoelectronic circuit’s output. It was determined that the output signals predicted for the nanocircuit by these simulations meet the requirements of the design, although there was a minor signal stability issue. A proposal is made to ameliorate this potential problem. Based on this proposal and the results of the simulations, the nanoelectronic circuit designed in this research could be used to begin to address the broader issue of further miniaturizing circuit-micromachine systems. i Gates, Alexander I. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to describe the novel nanoelectronic digital logic circuit shown in Figure 1, which has been designed by this author to control a millimeter-scale walking robot.

I value her as a friend and partner and am forever appreciative of her actions. I would also like to thank my parents for laying the groundwork in my life to accomplish this. They taught me the value of hard work and persistence when reaching toward your goals, and without these lessons I most likely would not have even gone to graduate school, much less finished. I am appreciative for all the help and support my fellow lab members have given me over the last five years. Former lab members Jaebeom Lee, Zhiyong Tang, Paul Podsiadlo, Bongsup Ship, Jungwoo Lee and Kevin Critchley helped teach me new lab techniques, NP synthesis and conjugation techniques, and numerous analysis procedures, and allowed me a venue to discuss my hypotheses concerning these approaches. Current lab members Meghan Cuddihy, Edward Jan, Peter Ho, Ashish Agarwal, Christine Andres, Jian Zhu, Huanan Zhang, Elizabeth Stewart, Yichun Wang, Inigo Alvarez, Shimei Xu, and Anna Fernandez aided with various collaborations, techniques, procedures, and experiences for which I am grateful.
