The use of colloid-enhanced ultrafiltration to remove organic pollutants and metal ions from wastewater generated from the pulp and paper industry.
(2003)
Colloid-enhanced ultrafiltration (CEUF) is a surfactant based separation technique which requires low energy and produces high rejection with reasonable flux rates. In micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF), surfactant ...
THE BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF TWO PHOSPHORELAY SIGNALING PROTEINS: YPD1 HOMOLOGS FROM SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE AND CRYPTOCOCCUS NEOFORMANS
(2016-08)
Histidine-to-aspartate multi-step phosphorelay systems are used extensively by eukaryotes and bacteria to sense and respond to changes in their external environment and to control the regulation of crucial biological ...
Hierarchical controls on the impact of consumer stoichiometric regulation: From species traits to ecosystem level consequences
(2013-12)
As natural ecosystems become increasingly changed due to habitat alteration, species loss, introduction of non-native species, and climate change, understanding the functional significance of communities to ecosystem ...
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS OF TERRESTRIAL GROSS PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY USING REMOTE SENSING AND IN SITU OBSERVATIONS
(2017-12)
Vegetation play a critical role in the interactions between atmosphere and biosphere. CO2 fixed by plants through photosynthesis process at ecosystem scale is termed as gross primary production (GPP). It is also the first ...
Their Voices Matter: Perceptions held by Black Males Regarding their Transition Planning and Postsecondary Outcomes
(2018-05-11)
This qualitative study examined the perceptions of Black males identified as having a specific learning disability, intellectual disability, or emotional disturbance about their high school transition planning as well as ...
MULTISCALE SIMULATIONS OF HEAT TRANSFER IN NANOCOMPOSITES
(2012)
The field of nanotechnology has been expanded by the discovery of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the 20th century. Geim and Novoselov won the Nobel prize in 2010 for their work on graphene sheets (GSs). Those ...
TRAINING ORGANIZATIONAL TRAINERS TO FRAME FEEDBACK: MITIGATING FACE CONCERNS AND SUPPRESSING EGO DEFENSIVENESS
(2015-05-09)
This dissertation applies Implicit Person Theory (IPT) to the contexts of organizational training and feedback. IPT scholars argue that individuals ascribe to one of two groups regarding perceptions of ability: entity or ...
Shape design optimization of parametric flume sections.
(2006)
This research presents a shape design analysis and optimization methodology for parametric surface flume sections. Flume sections or flow channels have been used widely in many areas such as water chutes in civil and ...
ENHANCING ALCOHOL PRODUCTION IN CLOSTRIDIUM CARBOXIDIVORANS STRAIN P7T AND THE ROLE OF TANDEM ADH GENES
(2014)
Clostridium carboxidivorans P7 is one of three microbial catalysts capable of fermenting synthesis gas (mainly CO, CO2 and H2) to produce the liquid biofuels ethanol and butanol. Gasification of feedstocks to produce ...
Productivity and offshoring innovative activities
(2016-03-24)
Recent studies suggest that firms may gain from global sourcing of innovative activities. Yet, only a small number of firms offshore their R&D, design, and engineering tasks. To explain this selection pattern, this paper ...
