Computational and experimental investigation of steady flow fields, turbulence, and hemodynamic wall stresses in patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysm models

Creator:: Edgar, Erik S.
Abstract:: Steady flow fields and flow-induced wall stresses have been evaluated by experimental measurements and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis in a series of patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) models, over a range of Reynolds numbers (Re) from 125 to 3000 (500 to 3000 for CFD). Experimental methods used particle image...

Synthesis and Analysis of Heterostructural Semiconductor Alloy Sn1-xCaxCh (Ch=S, Se) and Nitrides Zn1-xWxN and Zn1-x(W1-yMoy)xN

Creator:: Matthews, Bethany E.
Abstract:: This work explores the synthesis and characterization of the metastable alloys Sn1-xCaxCh (Ch= S, Se) and nitride compounds Zn-W-Mo-N, which have recently been predicted by theorists. Single phase thin films of Sn1-xCaxS are prepared by pulsed laser deposition and radio-frequency magnetron sputtering and of Sn1-xCaxSe are prepared by pulsed laser...

Study of creeping, inertial and turbulent flow regimes in porous media using particle image velocimetry

Creator:: Patil, Vishal A.
Abstract:: Porous media flows are encountered in many natural and man-made systems such as gas adsorption, filtration, heat exchangers, combustion, catalytic reactors and groundwater hydrology. This study experimentally investigates these flows as function of pore Reynolds number, Re[subscript pore]. The pore Reynolds number is based on the porous bed hydraulic diameter,...

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Environmental Air-Water Matrices and Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPL)

Creator:: Schwichtenberg, Trever J.
Abstract:: The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), organic contaminants first synthesized in the 1940s, has been reported worldwide in a variety of environmental matrices and ultimately in biological systems including humans. Ongoing research into PFAS has included identifying novel PFAS, assessing their fate and transport in the environment, and...

Electron-electron interaction driven phenomena in carbon nanotube devices

Creator:: Aspitarte, Lee
Abstract:: CNTs also offer new opportunities to study new science and develop new technology enabled by their strong electron-electron (e-e) interactions. The lack of dielectric screening inherent in nanoscale structures like CNTs leads to strong e-e interactions, which produce unique physical phenomena. In this thesis, we study the effects of strong...

Gene Expression, Structure Elucidation, and Bioactivity of Aspergillus Natural Products

Creator:: Neuhaus, George F.
Abstract:: The study of natural products (NPs) and their application has shaped humanity. Starting with the idea of using plants as medicine, it has now grown into the science of purifying and identifying organic molecules from nature to study their inherent biological activities. Understanding the molecular structures of NPs is the...

Conformational Consequences: Calcium Regulates the Association Between Dysferlin C2A & PI(4,5)P2

Creator:: Otto, Shauna C.
Abstract:: Dysferlin is a ∼230 kDa terminally anchored membrane protein that is ubiquitously expressed, but is particularly enriched in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue. Mutations covering the length of the protein have been linked to muscle wasting diseases including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and Myoshi myopathy. Dysferlin has been shown to play...

Optical trapping and acoustical probing of ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles confined in capillaries

Creator:: Almaqwashi, Ali
Abstract:: In an effort to develop an optical-acoustical understanding of ultrasound contrast agent microbubble dynamics in a micro-environment that resembles blood vessels, this thesis presents experimental work on optical trapping and acoustical probing of ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles confined in regenerated cellulose capillaries. First, we showed by acoustical means that the...

Freezing of a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson Fluid using Classical Density Functional Theory

Creator:: Finster, Kirstie L.
Abstract:: We use Classical Density Functional Theory (cDFT) to predict the freezing of a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson (WCA) fluid, and construct pressure-temperature and temperature-density phase diagrams. A WCA fluid consists of soft spheres that exhibit the repulsive portion of the Lennard-Jones potential widely used to model the interaction of two neutral atoms. Our...

Development of Cu-based Thin Films for Optoelectronic Applications

Creator:: Angelos, Gregory S.
Abstract:: CIGS and CdTe based commercial thin-ﬁlm solar cells (TFSCs) require an absorber thickness greater than 2 µm and 4 µm, respectively, to adequately absorb the solar spectrum. To efficiently extract photoexcited electrons, these TFSCs require relatively defect-free absorbers with high-minority carrier mobility (> 100 cm2V−1s−1) and long lifetime (> 10...
