Design and Simulation of Nonlinear Control Strategies for Heaving Point Wave Energy Converters in WEC-Sim

Creator:: Glennon, David N.
Abstract:: As the sources of our electricity shift from centralized and carbon emitting, to a portfolio of distributed, clean-energy sources, the wave energy converter (WEC) has become a topic of exploration and development for providing coastal communities electric power. Part of this trend has included an effort to create open source...

A computational-based methodology for the rapid determination of initial AP location for WLAN deployment

Creator:: Altamirano, Esteban
Abstract:: The determination of the optimal location of transceivers is a critical design factor when deploying a wireless local area network (WLAN). The performance of the WLAN will improve in a variety of aspects when the transceivers' locations are adequately determined, including the overall cell coverage to the battery life of...

Low Level Quantification of 1,4-Dioxane and Investigation of 1,4-Dioxane Co-Metabolism by Mycobacterium sp. 1A.

Creator:: McKeage, Kevin J.
Abstract:: 1,4-Dioxane (dioxane) is a probable human carcinogen and is often found comingled with chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon (CAH) contamination since dioxane is used as a stabilizer in CAH solutions. Dioxane is miscible in water, has a low K[subscript ow], low H[subscript cc], and is highly recalcitrant in the environment. The presence...

Examination of Immobilized TiO2 Nanoparticle Photocatalytic Treatment of Propylene Glycol with Concentrated Solar Energy

Creator:: Hammervold, Meredith
Abstract:: Airports are required by the Federal Aviation Administration to perform deicing of aircraft pavement during icy conditions. Until recently, there were no discharge controls in place and deicing fluid contaminated nearby water bodies from storm water runoff. EPA regulations now require airports to collect the deicing fluid and meet discharge...

Heteroaggregation of gold nanoparticles with model colloids and the influence of environmental aqueous chemistry

Creator:: Pike, Daniel J.
Abstract:: Nanoparticles are becoming increasingly important in numerous technological fields but evidence shows that they can be toxic to many organisms. To predict their fate and transport in the environment, nanoparticle attachment to naturally occurring colloids must be examined. This study investigated citrate-capped gold nanoparticle (Cit-AuNP) heteroaggregation with two model colloids...

Optimization of capillary trapping of CO2 sequestration in saline aquifers, Optimization of capillary trapping of CO₂ sequestration in saline aquifers

Creator:: Harper, Elizabeth J.
Abstract:: Geological carbon sequestration, as a method of atmospheric greenhouse gas reduction, is at the technological forefront of the climate change movement. During sequestration, carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas effluent is captured from coal fired power plants and is injected into a storage saline aquifer or depleted oil reservoir. In an effort...

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...

Molecular and Kinetic Characterization of Anammox Bacteria Enrichments and Determination of the Suitability of Anammox for Landfill Leachate Treatment

Creator:: Sultana, Sharmin
Abstract:: Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) has recently appeared as a promising approach for removing nitrogen from landfill leachates because it requires less oxygen and no organic carbon compared to traditional nitrification-denitrification system, and it produces low sludge volumes, thereby reducing operating and biological sludge disposal costs by over 60%. Anammox bacteria...

Opening Pandora’s Box: Machine learning applications for chemical forensics and non-target chemical analyses

Creator:: Davila-Santiago, Emmanuel
Abstract:: Water bodies act as chemical data loggers that contain tens of thousands of molecules that represent the sum of the biological, chemical, and physical processes occurring within a watershed. We hypothesize that unique chemical signatures present within a water sample can be informative of upstream processes. By extracting non-polar organic...

Molecular analysis of bacterial community dynamics during bioaugmentation studies in a soil column and at a field test site

Creator:: Li, Jun
Abstract:: 1,1,1-Tricholorethane (1,1,1-TCA), a widely used industrial solvents, is one of the most common subsurface contaminants. Transformation processes in the subsurface can result in the production of 1,1-dichioroethane (1,1-DCA) and 1,1- dichioroethene (l,1-DCE) from 1,1,1-TCA contamination, resulting in plumes of mixed chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). A butane-utilizing microorganism, strain 1 83BP,...
