Optimization of Wastewater Sampling and Concentration Methods to Accurately Detect and Quantify SARS-CoV-2 in Varying Scales of Catchment

Creator:: George, Andrea D.
Abstract:: At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world was unprepared for such a massive challenge to global health. Individual testing kits and personal protective equipment were scarce. There were minimal ways to track the rapid spread of the disease, until researchers discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19,...

Comminution of Fish Frame Byproduct: Impact on Constituent Solvent-Accessibility, Alkaline Protein Extraction, and Isoelectric Precipitation

Creator:: Gaspich, Bryan
Abstract:: The seafood industry has a problem of underutilization of harvested and processed fish. Up to 60% of the weight of the fish is considered a byproduct that is typically made into fishmeal for livestock and aquaculture feed, a low-value and non-food grade product. Two species that make up major fisheries...

Conversion of glucose to hydrogen gas by supercritical water in a microchannel reactor

Creator:: Goodwin, Aaron K.
Abstract:: Glucose was gasified in supercritical water within a microchannel reactor at 650°C 750°C, and 250 bar to yield H2 rich gas with a low concentration of CO. The feed glucose concentration was 0.1 M. Two microchannel reactor configurations were tested at fluid residence times ranging from 0.5 sec to...

Use of ultrasound and magnetic resonance image processing for evaluation of supraspinatus and biceps tendon pathology in dogs

Creator:: Sheikh, Omar
Abstract:: Shoulder injuries, especially those caused by rotator cuff tears, are a pervasive problem in human and canine patients. The ability to quickly and accurately diagnose rotator cuff tears is important for early and targeted treatment. Prior clinical work has demonstrated that ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging effectively diagnose these tears....

Downstream processing of microalgal biomass for biofuels

Creator:: Sander, Kyle B.
Abstract:: This thesis documents the work carried out investigating the downstream processing of algal biomass for biofuel production. A life cycle assessment was conducted on a hypothetical algal biodiesel process in which it was found drum drying and cell component separation were life cycle intensive processes. A laboratory experiment was conducted...

Evaluating the rates of nitrate removal for a nitrate containing, low organic carbon wastewater interacting with carbon-containing solid substrates

Creator:: Hart, Jeffrey L.
Abstract:: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the rates of nitrate removal for a nitrate containing, low organic carbon wastewater interacting with four different carbon-containing solid substrates (alder woodchips, corn silage, manure and woodchip biochar). Batch systems were tested for nitrate removal, and systems with a combination of...

Development of Practical Accelerated Testing Protocols for the Performance Evaluation of Concrete against Microbially Induced Corrosion of Concrete

Creator:: Erbektas, Ali Riza
Abstract:: Sustainable wastewater infrastructure systems are vital for civilizations to protect public health. Most of the structural elements of wastewater infrastructure are constructed using concrete owing to its versatility, low cost, and durability. Concrete structures that are exposed to wastewater can experience Microbially Induced Corrosion of Concrete (MICC), which is a...

Human platelet adhesion to heparinized silica surfaces

Creator:: Bolsinger, Travis Samuel Sebastian
Abstract:: Heparin was modified and immobilized to surface-activated silica surfaces using two different reaction schemes. End-aminated heparin was reacted with 2-iminothiolane to produce free thiol groups at the terminal ends of the heparin chains. The end-thiolated heparin was immobilized by reaction with a pyridyl disulfide activated poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]-poly[ethylene oxide] triblock...

Initial velocity analyses of milling effects on rates of enzyme-catalyzed saccharification of native wheat straw

Creator:: Nguyen, Quynh M.
Abstract:: There is considerable interest in developing environmentally friendly processes for the economical conversion of biomass plant material to biofuels, bioproducts and biomaterials. One approach to such a conversion process is to make use of enzymes for the conversion of plant polysaccharides to simple sugars; the simple sugars could then be...

Construction of a model organism for performing calcium carbonate precipitation in a porous media reactor

Creator:: Kaufman, Megan J.
Abstract:: Aquifers are an important storage location and source of fresh groundwater. They may become polluted by a number of contaminants including mobile divalent radionuclides such as strontium-90 which is a byproduct of uranium fission. A method for remediating such divalent radionuclides is sequestration through co-precipitation into calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate...
