The Role of Ascorbic Acid, β-Cyclodextrins, and Alternative Substrates in Dictating Rates of Polyphenol Oxidase-Catalyzed Browning in Potato-Based Reaction Mixtures

Creator:: Jiang, Shu
Abstract:: Enzymatic browning is a consequence of a series of reactions initiated by polyphenol oxidase (PPO)-catalyzed quinone formation. Unwanted browning negatively affects food quality and lowers consumer acceptability. Thus, there is general interest in strategies to control enzymatic browning. Cyclodextrins are cyclic glucan oligosaccharides that form inclusion complexes with a number...

Conversion of biomass constituents to hydrogen-rich gas by supercritical water in a microchannel reactor

Creator:: Goodwin, Aaron K.
Abstract:: Microreactors offer high rates of heat transfer able to intensify highly endothermic biomass reforming reactions in supercritical water. In this study, two continuous flow microreactor configurations were used to gasify biomass constituents in supercritical water. The first reactor configuration was a micro diameter stainless steel or Hastelloy tube (508 µm...

Using Recession Analysis to Characterize Watershed Responses to Drought

Creator:: Jachens, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: In the face of climate change droughts are predicted to become more persistent, further intensifying the need for accurately predicting the timing and magnitude of summer streamflow in rivers. In order to determine the sensitivity of a watershed to drought, there is a need to describe what these drought conditions...

Modeling, Fabrication, and Characterization of Magnetic Thin Films for Integrated Inductor and MRAM Applications

Creator:: Buford, Benjamin
Abstract:: Magnetic thin films have potential to improve devices such as on-chip inductors, and enable new technologies such as magnetic random access memory (MRAM). The use of magnetic cores in on-chip inductors is typically limited to applications well under 1 GHz. At higher frequencies, the performance of the magnetic core is...

Model Predictive Control for Optimum Algal Growth

Creator:: Juneja, Ankita
Abstract:: Microalgae has been under careful consideration as a sustainable feedstock for renewable fuel recently due to its year round production with high energy yields per unit area, reduced need for arable land, water treatment benefits with nutrient cycling, and minimal competition with the food industry. Despite of all these advantages,...

Optimization of cryoprotectant addition and removal procedures for vitrification of adherent mammalian cells

Creator:: Fry Davidson, Allyson
Abstract:: Cryopreservation of adherent cells may be advantageous for cell types that are difficult to preserve in suspension or when it is necessary to preserve characteristics of the adherent cultured cells. Vitrification is a promising procedure for the preservation of adherent cells that prevents ice crystal formation and the resulting dissociation...

Advances in Freshwater Cyanobacterial Genomics

Creator:: Brown, Nathaniel M.
Abstract:: Limnology is undergoing a transition to high-throughput -omic analysis of freshwater bacterial communities. An important first step in making the transition is to characterize several genomes that can be used as references to guide metagenome assembly and analysis. Here I characterize four new freshwater cyanobacterial genomes, a pair of lake...

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,...

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...

Evaluation of Serratia Ureilytica as a Greener Unsealed Road Stabilization Method

Creator:: Portugal, Carla Ribeiro Machado e
Abstract:: Covering half of South America, Brazil is one of the largest agricultural and commercial forest producers globally, with a correspondingly complex road network necessary to support the production and marketing processes of such goods. Contrary to global statistics, almost 90% of the country’s road network is classified as unsealed or...
