  • Antibiotic Resistance in Septic Sludge and Receiving Environments of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

    Creator:
    Schutzius, Genevieve Conyers
    Abstract:
    Approximately ninety percent of urban Vietnamese households are connected to septic tanks, from which up to three-quarters of the sludge is reported to be dumped into waterways in residential areas. Vietnam has a considerable prevalence of antibiotic misuse and resultant antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in the human microbiome. Due to the...

  • Engineering an Ex-Vivo System to Study Transport Phenomena in the Human Intervertebral Disc

    Creator:
    Shalash, Ward
    Abstract:
    Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, entailing a significant socioeconomic impact. A primary source of back pain can be attributed to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration allowing nerve ingrowth, facet joint arthritis, disc bulging, and osteophyte formations that press on nearby nerve roots or the spinal cord. While...

  • A multiscale approach to bacterial adhesion

    Creator:
    Ostvar, Sassan
    Abstract:
    This work is an attempt to develop a simple physical description for the initial interactions between a bacterial cell and a substrate surface. This is done by adopting a view that regards bacterial surface biomolecules not as secondary and add-on contributors to the potential energy function that characterizes the overall...

  • Addressing the Risks of Nanoscale Polymers: Exposure, Behavior, and Toxicity

    Creator:
    Stine, Jared
    Abstract:
    Nanoscale polymers (including nanoplastics) are widely present through commerce and make their way into the environment. As the improper disposal of plastic waste leads to continued accumulation and degradation of plastic pollution, the presence of plastic particles less than 1 micron (μm) in size (nanoplastics) will increase. Heightened concern over...

  • Exploration of Simultaneous Anammox and Denitrification (SAD) Biofilm Processes for Nitrogen Removal

    Creator:
    Hilliard, Richard F.
    Abstract:
    Anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) bacteria are capable of providing low-cost nitrogen removal for numerous types of wastewaters. However, low growth rates cause long startup-times and inhibition by oxygen and metabolic substrates necessitate close process control to maintain performance. Incorporation of Simultaneous Anammox and Denitrification (SAD) into constructed wetlands could provide...
