Part-Load Optimization of an Organic Rankine Cycle

Creator:: Ramsey, Owen
Abstract:: Waste-heat-recovery Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems use excess heat from industrial processes to produce electrical power. In many cases, the temperatures and mass flow rates of these excess-heat streams vary significantly over time, causing the ORC to often operate far from its design point. In this study, a control strategy...

Effects of Inhibitors against Syk-BTK-PI3K Signaling on Platelet Function

Creator:: Lofurno, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Tyrosine kinases mediate response of blood cells to stimuli and small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) serve important roles as drugs in managing hematological diseases. In healthy B cells, the B cell receptor (BCR) activates a tyrosine kinase known as Syk, which then activates BTK, PI3K, PLC􏰃2 and protein kinase...

For What it is Worth: Meditations on the Meaning of Life with Camus and Nozick

Creator:: Cherry, Owen E.
Abstract:: The meaning of life is an enduring philosophical question. This paper seeks to explore the thought of Albert Camus and Robert Nozick on the meaning of life and critically examine their contributions to philosophy. Camus begins with contemplating whether life is worth ending or worth living and concludes that only...

Modeling the Fusion Reaction in an Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Reactor with the Particle-in-Cell Method

Creator:: van de Lindt, Jacob
Abstract:: Nuclear fusion has the potential to meet the energy needs of our civilization for centuries to come and does not produce harmful greenhouse gasses or produce long-lasting radioactive waste. A fusion reaction can be readily demonstrated in a confinement scheme known as inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion. In this work,...

Tabletop fusion reactors : construction and testing of a demonstration inertial electrostatic confinement fusor

Creator:: Holler, Logan R.
Abstract:: Nuclear fusion reactors comprise a significant field of study due to their potential to provide a limitless, clean, and sustainable source of energy. The inertial electrostatic confinement fusor is a type of fusion-generating device that accelerates deuterium gas to the conditions required for fusion. The goal of this research was...

Characterization and Prediction of Reactive Forces for Compressed 3D Printed Hyperelastic Lattice Structures

Creator:: So, David M.
Abstract:: In order to generate practical ways to easily design functional flexible lattice structures, this research seeks to find a way to predict reactive forces of compressed hyperelastic cubic lattice structures. Using 3D printed test coupons, material data was collected for use in finite element analysis. Cubic lattice structures with varying...

Evaluation of a Monoclonal Antibody for Studying MHC Class I Antigen Presentation In-Vitro

Creator:: VanderHoek, Eden N.
Abstract:: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family, is frequently dysregulated in a variety of cancers. Overexpression of the receptor leads to increased cell proliferation and resistance to cell death due to downstream signaling effects. Proteasomal degradation of HER2 results in the...

An Overview of SPACs and the 2020-2021 SPAC Surge

Creator:: Moon, Laura E.
Abstract:: This paper provides a literature review in order to capture the state of the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) market, incorporating the most recent research from 2020 and 2021. SPACs are an alternative way to take a company public. Rather than going through the traditional IPO process to access public...

Experimental Investigation of Near-Critical Carbon Dioxide in Microchannels for High Flux Cooling Applications

Creator:: Travers, Kristen
Abstract:: With the continued decrease in size and subsequent increase in power of computer processors, thermal management in electronics is becoming more important than ever before. The chip heat densities are reaching new peaks (> 100 W cm-2) that current cooling methods are not able to keep up with. However, some...

Post-Preservation Maintenance of Cadavers to Prevent Tissue-Dehydration in Educational Environments

Creator:: Herrera, Alexandria R.
Abstract:: In anatomical education, clinicians, surgeons, and anatomists support the use of human cadavers over digital or artificial alternatives. Cadaver use raises the challenge of preventing tissue dehydration. The OSU cadaver labs attempt to maintain hydration by re-covering the exposed tissues with original skin, layers of plastic wrap, and/or towels and...
