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...

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,...

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...

Characterizing drivers of microbial community structure and function in diverse marine sediments

Creator:: Graw, Michael F.
Abstract:: Marine sediments are one of the largest habitats for microbial life on earth. These microorganisms play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling both within the subsurface and between the sediment and water columns. However, microbial communities in sediments are highly heterogeneous and the factors defining microbial community structure and metabolic function...

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,...

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...

Wheat lignin as a functional dietary fiber component

Creator:: Junyusen, Tiraporn
Abstract:: This dissertation has focused on lignin byproducts that result from the alkali processing of wheat straw. The first study evaluated the application of “standard” lignin quantification methods for summative analyses of alkali-based processes. Mass closure during NaOH processing at 25, 50, and 75°C of wheat straw was evaluated using the...

Transcriptional networks controlled by the fatty acid regulators FAR-1 and FAR-2

Creator:: Bredeweg, Erin L.
Abstract:: Fungi are capable of growth on a wide variety of carbon sources, both living and dead. They can produce an arsenal of enzymes and transporters for harvesting sugars, polysaccharides, amino acids, lipids and micronutrients from their environments [1]. Within the nucleus of a cell, transcription factors (TF) control whether genes...

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...

Understanding the Similarities and Differences Between Academia and the Engineering Workplace through Barriers to Adoption, Epistemic Beliefs, and Problem-Solving Behavior

Creator:: Gestson, Sean Lyle
Abstract:: Engineering education research has led to a greater understanding of the gap in preparedness of students for the engineering industry. Multiple studies comparing the workplace and academic contexts and the participants in those contexts (i.e., students, faculty, and engineering practitioners) have emphasized similarities and differences between the two contexts by...
