  • Wax Transfer Printing Characterization : Expanding Wax Printing to Various Paper-Types

    Creator:
    To, Anthony
    Abstract:
    Currently, wax printing is limited to materials that can be processed by a wax printer. Wax transfer printing is a method that allows previously unusable materials to be patterned with wax via an intermediate template. Millipore cellulose, a material too thick to be processed by a wax printer, was patterned...

  • Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Clare
    Abstract:
    Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...

  • Development of Rapid Diagnostic Tools for Personal Health Monitors in the Context of Therapy Monitoring

    Creator:
    Wentland, Lael T.
    Abstract:
    Personal health monitoring tools, a subset of point-of care-diagnostics, enable more frequent testing of chronic health conditions outside of a clinic setting and can inform personalized therapy or support telehealth diagnostic capabilities. While there is evidence that regular monitoring of chronic conditions can lead to better health outcomes and lower...

  • Investigation of the Effect of Copper-Palladium Electrocatalysts on Nitrate Reduction

    Creator:
    Finstad, Arthur
    Abstract:
    Nitrate (NO₃-) accumulation in water sources is a serious health and environmental concern. Common methods used to reduce NO₃- accumulation have one or more undesirable traits that limit their efficacy in large-scale decontamination. However, treatment of NO₃- electrochemically is a promising area of study because of the absence of toxic...

  • Nucleic Acid Based Therapeutics for Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis

    Creator:
    McKinney, Madison J.
    Abstract:
    Cystic fibrosis is an inherited genetic disease caused by a single gene mutation in the CFTR protein. Affecting 70,000 people worldwide, this disease is debilitating to patients, resulting in persistent lung infections and decreased quality of life. Due to the various mutation types, there is not currently a single drug...

  • 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...

  • Investigation of the effects of cryopreservation on cellular viability and mechanical integrity of the intervertebral disc

    Creator:
    Forcier, Ryan J.
    Abstract:
    Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is a phenomenon that has yet to be adequately addressed. Treatment options remain limited and incomplete. The ability to effectively cryopreserve IVDs would allow for better allograft transplantations and storage of samples for research purposes. This study aimed to assess how cryopreservation with different...

    Abstract:
    Physical activity is associated with significant health benefits. These benefits include lower risk of cardiac disease, depression, and obesity. Physical activity in young children, 1-5 years old, is extremely important as children need to develop foundations of physical activity in order promote lower risk for diseases. A study with nine...

  • Investigating the Role of Inflammation and Mechanical Loading in Orthopaedic Tissue Degeneration

    Creator:
    Benage, Lindsay G.
    Abstract:
    Orthopaedic soft tissue degenerative diseases significantly affect the population, especially as it ages. Degeneration is characterized by a progressive loss of extracellular matrix (ECM) components necessary for the proper functioning of the tissues and joints, eventually leading to pain and dysfunction. In humans, the intervertebral disc (IVD) and tendon are...
