(2015-12)
Small or large bone defects, can occur due to a variety of reasons: congenital disorders, infections, tumors, or traumas which can lead to significant disabilities. There is an assortment of bone grafting procedures, each ...
Microbial removal efficiency within bioretention filter media in laboratory and field environments
(2015-12)
This study will evaluate bioretention systems' ability to remove microbial pollutants in both the laboratory and field settings, while also providing essential background on urban stormwater, pollutants, treatment options, ...
Design and analysis of feedback and feedforward control systems for web tension in roll-to-roll manufacturing
(2015-05)
In Roll-to-Roll (R2R) manufacturing, efficient transport of flexible materials (webs) on rollers requires simultaneous control of web speed and tension. Webs experience disturbing forces during transport due to nonideal ...
Dual-systems perspective on turnover types and destination choices
(2015-07)
This dissertation adopts a dual-systems perspective to investigate how impulsivity and self-control relate to turnover types and destination choices. The personality traits of impulsivity and self-control are directly ...

(2015-12)
The purpose of this study was to discover if a relationship existed between the most common safety concerns and the most common UAS accidents with regards to the integration of the unmanned aerial system (UAS) into the ...
Modeling and control of transport behavior of moving webs through heat transfer processes
(2015-07)
Heat transfer processes are widely employed in Roll-to-Roll (R2R) process machines to heat/cool moving webs. The general goal is to efficiently transport webs over heating/cooling rollers and ovens while achieving the ...
Modelling individual tree growth of naturally occurring even-aged shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.)
(2015-12)
Modelling individual tree growth is important for the assessment and management of naturally occurring shortleaf pine, as its abundance (hectare) is reducing due to increased plantings of other commercially important ...
