Enhanced Alcohol Production During Syngas Fermentation Using Biochar
(2018-07-01)
Microbial fermentation of syngas (mainly CO, H2 and CO2) into biofuels (ethanol, butanol, etc.) and chemicals (carboxylic acids, 2,3-butanediol, etc.) is a flexible and promising route for producing liquid biofuels and ...
Evaluation of a commercial in situ fluorometer probe for water quality monitoring programs
(2018-05)
Benthic Algae is often used in water quality monitoring; however, traditional methods of benthic algae assessment are relatively expensive and time consuming. The Benthotorch® is a portable fluorimeter probe used to measure ...
Gas Evolution and Gas-liquid Separator Modeling
(2018-12-01)
Gas-liquid separation is a critical unit operation for oil and gas production. While there has been a large number of studies investigating the removal of liquid droplets from the gas phase, relatively little attention has ...
Synthetic, physical, and photolytic properties of linear and cyclic oligogermanes
(2018-07)
The following dissertation focuses on the synthesis and characterization of unique linear, branched, cyclic germanium compounds to further the knowledge and scope of organometallic chemistry of the element. In chapter II ...
Fabrication and characterization of inverse opals with tunable stopbands
(2018-12)
Inverse opals, a major type of self-assembled structures, provide good examples of photonic crystals that result from the periodic arrangement of voids. The periodic arrays of voids interfere with the light passing through ...
Tissue-engineered model for the study of an allergic inflammatory response
(2018-12-01)
Allergy occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens. Worldwide, up to 40% of the population suffers from different types of allergies. In severe cases, allergic reactions can lead to death. Therefore, determining ...
Family and consumer science educators' receptiveness to respond to changes in family caregiver environments
(2018-07)
The current study utilized the receptive contexts of change (Pettigrew, Ferlie, & McKee, 1992) to examine innovativeness in Family and Consumer Science Educators with the Cooperative Extension Service in order to better ...
Clinical, cellular, and biochemical consequences of xylosyltransferase deficiency: Impact of isoforms and cellular expression
(2018-05)
Proteoglycans (PGs) are components of extracellular matrix, cell membrane, and basement membrane of the cells and consist of repeating disaccharide units of amino sugar and uronic acid, also known as glycosaminoglycans ...
One academic English for all: The study of the cueing systems used in reading academic texts
(2018-05)
Students from low-income homes and students who are learning English as an additional language both tend to struggle with reading comprehension. This study investigates whether the reasons for the reading challenges faced ...
Architectural Improvements in IEEE-Compliant Floating-Point Multiplication
(2018-12-01)
Multiplication has long been an important part of any computer architecture. It has usually been a common case for most computer architecture decisions to include in any microarchitecture. However, the difficulty in creating ...
