Analysis and Modeling of Kinetic Parameters for Urea Hydrolysis by Bacteria for Use in Calcium Carbonate Precipitation in Aquifers

Creator:: Neighbor, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The use of ureolytic bacteria for the remediation of contaminated groundwater aquifers by inducing calcium carbonate precipitation is being studied in order to establish a better understanding of the modeling and prediction of how the bacteria will act in situ. This research has pursued the use of various ureolytic bacteria...

Investigation of film forming properties of beta-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and improvement of water solubility of beta-chitosan, Investigation of film forming properties of β-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and improvement of water solubility of β-chitosan

Creator:: Chen, Jeremy L.
Abstract:: The objectives of this project were to investigate the critical factors impacting the physicochemical and antibacterial properties of β-chitosan based films derived from jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) pens, and to evaluate the feasibility of improving water solubility of β-chitosan through Maillard reaction. The studies examined the effect of molecular weight...

Investigation of the effects of cryopreservation on cellular viability and mechanical integrity of the intervertebral disc

Creator:: Forcier, Ryan J.
Abstract:: Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is a phenomenon that has yet to be adequately addressed. Treatment options remain limited and incomplete. The ability to effectively cryopreserve IVDs would allow for better allograft transplantations and storage of samples for research purposes. This study aimed to assess how cryopreservation with different...

Hydroelastic modeling of a wave energy converter using the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method in LS-DYNA

Creator:: Meicke, Stephen A.
Abstract:: This thesis investigates the applicability of the finite element method to model wave energy converter (WEC) hydroelasticity using LS-DYNA. The proposed methodology uses the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation to model Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) between the WEC and the fluid elements. This formulation allows for time-domain modeling of higher order effects such...

Fused Filament Fabrication of Filled Polymers for Metal Additive Manufacturing

Creator:: Barmore, Brenton
Abstract:: Additive manufacturing (AM) is a relatively new manufacturing technique that can create high complexity parts out of many materials in low volume. The fused filament fabrication (FFF) is the lowest cost AM process and is capable of producing only thermoplastic components. Powder injection molding (PIM) is a high volume low...

Bioactive and Biocompatible Coatings for Endotoxin Capture in Treatment of Sepsis

Creator:: Su, Jonathan
Abstract:: Sepsis is a blood infection caused by circulating pathogens and cell wall fragments that affects over 1 million patients per year in the United States. When bacterial cell membranes are lysed by antibiotics, cell wall fragments containing lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are released. As a result, the capture of LPS is critical...

Development and Optimization of Medicinal Infused Hydrogel Patch and Cloth for the Treatment of Burn Patients

Creator:: Carpenter, Molly E.
Abstract:: Rapid and effective treatment of burn injuries is critical to prevent long term damage. Besides the pain associated with the burn injury due to damage and death of surrounding tissue and cells, there is a large risk for complications, particularly infection, following a burn injury. To address these risks, Meta...

Predicting Treatment Options for the Intervertebral Disc: Patient-Specific Finite Element Models

Creator:: Ahrens, Sonia R.
Abstract:: This work describes a method for incorporating patient data into a nutrient transport model of the intervertebral disc.This data was collected using MRI diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and was converted into an apparent diffusion coefficient map (ADC map). This map was used to define the diffusion behavior of water within...

Mass transfer of urea, creatinine and vitamin B-12 in a microchannel based membrane separation unit

Creator:: Warner-Tuhy, Alana
Abstract:: Micro energy and chemical systems (MECS) are microfluidic systems where energy and chemical processes can be intensified by decreasing the characteristic length. This project focused on bulk fluid processing using MECS technology to intensify the mass transport of a dialyzer. The objective of this project was to design a model...

Synthesis and Characterization of an Ultrafine-Grained Aluminum-Copper System through High-Pressure Torsion

Creator:: Liang, Guangyuan
Abstract:: Aluminum and copper and their alloys have been widely used due to relatively high strength-to-weight ratios compared with conventional steels. Processing of these alloys is typically conducted at high temperatures over extended time periods. High-pressure torsion (HPT) is a promising processing technique for introducing significant grain refinement leading to excellent...
