Strategies to Reduce the Foreign Body Response to Cortical Neural Interfaces
(2013-12)
Cortical neural interfaces offer unique capabilities to researchers and physicians, opening doors to superior understanding and treatment of a host of processes and diseases in the central nervous system. One of modern ...
VAPOR PHASE UPGRADING OF RENEWABLE CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND OXYGENATES OVER BRØNSTED ZEOLITES
(2017-08)
Ketonization of acetic acid is a powerful route to convert these problematic acids into stable building blocks to produce fuels and chemicals. This reaction is investigated over HZSM-5 via a combination of temperature ...
INVESTIGATING THE SYNTHESIS OF TRANSITION METAL OXIDE NANOSTRUCTURES IN A COUNTER-FLOW FLAME
(2014-05-09)
In this dissertation, the synthesis and growth mechanisms of various transition metal oxide (TMO) nanostructures inside a counter-flow flame medium were investigated. Transition metal oxide nanostructures with distinctive ...
Low-Cost Chemically Activated Cow Bone for Fluoride Removal from Drinking Water: Batch, Field-Scale Column and Business Model Studies
(2017-05-13)
Excess fluoride concentrations in drinking water negatively impact the health of communities living in fluoride affected regions of the world by causing dental and skeletal fluorosis and other severe socio-economic problems. ...
Laboratory Characterization of Recycled and Warm Mix Asphalt for Enhanced Pavement Applications
(2014)
Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is the most widely used paving material in the U.S. Over the past two decades, many transportation agencies, asphalt producers, and pavement construction companies have taken major initiatives to ...
Flow visualization technique for investigation of fractures.
(1999)
Calibration test procedures were conducted to thoroughly analyze the influence of proppant concentration on the light intensities collected by the fibers. Multiple non-linear mathematical models were developed to correlate ...
COMPREHENSIVE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF HIGH THROUGHPUT SCANNING MICROSCOPY FOR METAPHASE CHROMOSOME IMAGING
(2013-12)
Specimen scanning is a critically important tool for diagnosing the genetic diseases in today’s hospital. In order to reduce the clinician’s work load, many investigations have been conducted on developing automatic sample ...
