Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of foodborne human pathogen inactivation by cold atmospheric plasma through RNA-Seq analysis
(2016-07)
Foodborne human illness caused by pathogenic bacteria is a significant health and economic burden worldwide. Efficient food decontamination methods that do not alter food quality can greatly alleviate this burden. Cold ...
Novel microparticulate and monolithic stationary phases for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and affinity chromatography
(2016-12)
The overall objective of this dissertation is to develop novel polar silica-based and monolithic-based stationary phases for the separation of a wide range of polar solutes by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) ...
Impact of different curing methods and drying conditions on drying shrinkage induced curling
(2016-12)
Prolonged wet curing is thought by many to provide only improvements in concrete performance. Also, because of the large surface to volume ratio of volume change sensitive structures such as slabs on grade, differential ...
Three essays in applied economics on labor supply decisions
(2016-05)
The present study contains three applied economic essays which empirically investigate regional and educational factors influencing labor supply decisions. The first essay uses minimum distance from work PUMA centroid to ...
Biomedical signal processing and inference in wearable sensing applications
(2016-12)
With the increase in health care costs, there is a great need to develop a low-cost and efficient health care system with better accessibility. Recent advances in the fields of embedded sensing, mobile computing, and ...
Coaxial and triaxial structured fibers by electrospinning for tissue engineering and sustained drug release
(2016-05)
Coaxial and triaxial electrospinning are novel methods for fabrication of multilayered nano and micro-size fibers with desirable features such as co-solution blending, reinforced core, porous and hollow structure. However, ...
Statistics of the number of real zeros of random orthogonal polynomials
(2016-05)
We study the expected number of real zeros for random linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials Pn(x)=sum_{j=0}^n cjpj(x), where {pj(x)}{j=0}^\infinity is a set of orthonormal polynomials with respect to some measure, ...
Development and implementation of a methodology to promote best practice sharing in food processing industry
(2016-05)
Safety and quality of foods have been a growing global concern not only because of the continuing importance of public health but also the significant financial impact on the industry due to food safety and quality issues. ...
Qualitative phenomenological study: Enhanced, risk-based FAA oversight on Part 145 maintenance practices
(2016-05)
The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to examine the phenomenon of enhanced, risk-based Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) oversight of Part 145 repair stations that performed aircraft maintenance ...
