  • Chandler Loop Model for the Development of Dynamic Hemocompatibility Assays

    Creator:
    Hasbrook, AnneMarie V.
    Abstract:
    A common issue with extracorporeal medical devices is blood clotting due to bio-incompatibility. Systemic anticoagulants are often prescribed to mitigate the coagulation issues. However, such drugs can lead to further complications, for example hemorrhaging. One solution to improve the hemocompatibility of blood-contacting medical devices are biomaterials, such as slippery liquid...

  • Investigation of the Relationship Between Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Rupture and Mechanical Stress

    Creator:
    Agalzoff, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    The factors that cause abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture were investigated. Included in this study were aneurysm volume, thrombus thickness, lumen area, thrombus area, the average stress acting on the aorta, and the maximum stress on the aorta. The geometric values were obtained by tracing a series of computerized axial tomography...

  • Chronic Toxicological Effects in Daphnia magna from Exposure to PMMA Nanoplastics

    Creator:
    Brown, Hans
    Abstract:
    Plastic pollution is an ever-increasing environmental threat. As large-scale plastics break down to form nanoscale plastics, it is essential to investigate their effects on freshwater ecosystems. With many plastic nanoparticle (NP) studies favoring the effects of common polystyrene (PS) plastics, a gap is formed for other common plastic types like...

  • Disability to Super-Ability: Issues Along The Human Enhancement Spectrum

    Creator:
    Oakes, Ian R.
    Abstract:
    Advancements in the field of medical and computer technology promise a new age of human enhancement technology (HET). These technologies may be aptly applied to existing Assistive Technology (AT), which was created to ameliorate disability, moving one up the spectrum of ability. This study aimed to determine how these technologies...
