Creator:: Berninghaus, Ashley E.
Abstract:: The natural production of methane via anaerobic digestion (AD) is facilitated by a complex community of microorganisms, primarily bacteria and archaea, referred to as the AD microbiome. AD is growing in prominence as a solution to the disposal of food waste, sewage sludge, and the organic fraction of municipal solid...

Abstract:: Anaerobic digestion is a microbially mediated process by which organic matter is decomposed in the absence of oxygen. The end products of anaerobic digestion include treated sludge and biogas, a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide, which can be recovered and used for energy generation. The majority of wastewater treatment...

Creator:: Kanalos, Casey A.
Abstract:: Best Management Practices (BMP) are widely used as a method for stormwater volume control in urban areas to prevent an overload of water on receiving water bodies and treatment facilities. BMPs ability to treat stormwater has gone under critical review in the last few decades, and their performance varies both...

Abstract:: Heterogeneous catalysis modulates the rate and selectivity of reaction processes by stabilizing a series of intermediate states on solid surfaces, facilitating the production of many commodity chemicals modern society relies upon. Conventional, thermal catalytic processes—conducted at elevated temperatures and pressures—source thermal, mechanical, and chemical potential energy from carbon-hydrogen bonds— combustion...

Abstract:: Airports are required by the Federal Aviation Administration to perform deicing of aircraft pavement during icy conditions. Until recently, there were no discharge controls in place and deicing fluid contaminated nearby water bodies from storm water runoff. EPA regulations now require airports to collect the deicing fluid and meet discharge...

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...

Creator:: Warner, Ross M.
Abstract:: Successful cryopreservation of all biological specimens would have an untold positive impact on medicine and scientific research. However, cryopreservation of the most complex biological specimens, such as tissues and organs, remains elusive. Vitrification, or ice-free cryopreservation, is promising for cryopreservation of complex specimens. The biggest challenge, though, is the toxicity...
