Determining localized anode condition to maintain effective corrosion protection

Creator:: Nguyen, Vinh
Abstract:: The main objective of the research is to develop a prototype device that can determine the condition of the thermally sprayed zinc anode in cathodic protection systems. The device needs to meet the following requirements: applicability in the field, non-destructiveness or minimal destructiveness of the zinc anode, ease of use...

Assessment of roles for the Rho-specific guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (RhoGDI) Ly-GDI in platelet function

Creator:: Thierheimer, Marisa
Abstract:: Platelets undergo morphological changes essential to hemostasis upon activation at sites of vascular injury. The Rho GTPases Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA drive these changes. Rho guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitors (RhoGDIs) bind to the Rho GTPases to block the GDP from dissociating from the Rho GTPases, as well as anchoring the...

Microbial enhanced oil recovery : a pore-scale investigation of interfacial interactions

Creator:: Armstrong, Ryan T.
Abstract:: Current oil production technologies recover only about one‐third to one‐half of the oil originally present in an oil reservoir. Given current oil prices, even a modest increase in oil recovery efficiency is fiscally attractive. One novel approach to increase oil recovery efficiency is a process called microbial enhanced oil recovery...

Investigations of catalytic CO oxidation : effects of alloying copper and palladium

Creator:: Kristy, Stephen T.
Abstract:: The oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2) is ubiquitous throughout many industrial processes and is a common probe reaction used to help understand catalytic systems in research settings. The reaction is essential in power generation and transportation exhaust gas treatment technologies to ensure environmental safety, because CO...

Chemical Reaction Processes in Microscale-Based Reactors; Mathematical Model and Numerical Simulation of the Fischer-Tropsch Process and Activation of Methane in a Corona Discharge Plasma Reactor

Creator:: Traverso, Andrew C.
Abstract:: Worldwide production of natural gas has surged in the last few decades leading to an economic windfall for many communities, but sometimes these new sources of natural gas are located in geographically isolated locations. These areas are so remote that it isn’t economically feasible to transport this stranded gas to...

Probing the Biophysical interactions of Anti-Microbial Peptide WLBU2 Using Model Membrane Systems

Creator:: Golbek, Thaddeus W.
Abstract:: WLBU2 is an engineered cationic amphiphilic peptide that targets Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and envelopes endotoxin while avoiding other cell types. The exact mechanism of how WLBU2 targets, binds, and disrupts bacterial cell membranes is still not completely known. Thus, the overall goal of this investigation is to determine the...

Investigation of the Effect of Pulsed Direct Current on Methane Conversion and Reforming in a Point-to-Point Plasma Discharge Microreactor

Creator:: Shareghi, Adam E. L.
Abstract:: Stranded natural gas and biogas comprise a vast energy resource that is mostly wasted via flaring. This represents an opportunity to investigate novel ways to harness this resource. Nonthermal plasmas consist of excited electrons, ions and neutral atoms/molecules that have the ability to disrupt chemical bonds at ambient temperatures and...

Solution-based Chalcogenide Thin Film Deposition

Creator:: Pan, Changqing
Abstract:: As a group of promising semiconductor materials, metal chalcogenides in thin film form have been widely used in electronics and optoelectronics applications, such as solar cell devices and photon sensors. Unfortunately, the film size and product throughput are limited by the current vacuum-based thin film deposition techniques. Solution-based thin film...
