Abstract:: The primary objective of this thesis is to explore new absorber and p-type window layer materials for thin-film solar cell applications. A new thin-film electron beam deposition system has been installed, is now operational, and has been used to deposit several types of solar cell absorber layers. Material investigations include...

Abstract:: Air travel presents several problems for passengers with disabilities. One in particular is how they get from their wheelchair and to an aircraft seat. The commonly used manual transfer method is hazardous to the assistants and the passenger. There are other alternatives, but they have plenty of room for improvement....

Abstract:: The adsorption and elution of the antimicrobial peptide nisin at hydrophobic, silanized silica surfaces coated with the poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]- poly[ethylene oxide] surfactant Pluronic® F108 was measured in situ, with ellipsometry. While such layers are known to inhibit protein adsorption, nisin was observed to adsorb in multilayer quantities, to an...

Abstract:: Hydrogels have been proposed as candidates for nucleus pulposus replacement due to their similarity in mechanical behavior to the native tissue when subjected to transient or static loading; however, given the viscoelastic nature of soft biological tissues, the lack of dynamic testing is a significant inadequacy in the studies performed...
