Carboxylic acids have played an important role in the field of actinide (An) and lanthanide (Ln) separations and the reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel. Recent bench-scale experiments have demonstrated that 3-carbox ...

Recent advances in nanocrystalline materials production are expected to impact the development of next generation low-cost and/or high efficiency solar cells. For example, semiconductor nanocrystal inks are used to lower ...

The focus of this study is to develop a general and low-cost solution-based process to fabricate micro- and nano-structured semiconductors that are suitable for electronics. This process uses simple metal halide precur ...

This thesis presents an approach to develop innovative methods for decontamination and surface protection applicable to naval nuclear ships and potentially, personnel, replacing antiquated techniques. To accomplish this ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants and are mostly products of the incomplete combustion of organic material. PAHs are often found in environmental samples as a complex mixture of isomers. ...

Experiments were conducted with two strains of the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi. Previous experiments with CCMP1742 and 372 at a light intensity of 60 µEin/m²-s showed that during five-day periods of continuous dar ...

The objective of this thesis is to introduce and demonstrate a novel magnetic bead detector based on inductive detection at the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency for use in bio-sensing applications. Detection abil ...

In this work, a multicomponent lattice Boltzmann model is developed for the simulation of multiphase mixing, reactions, and separations processes. This model is unique in that diffusive mass transfer of a component in t ...

The purpose of this research was to investigate the optoelectronic properties of the Ge doped biosilica, mainly focused on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of diatom frustules of N. frustulum that contain metaboli ...
