  • Microbial Electrolysis Cells for the Production of Hydrogen Gas : Evaluation of Internal Resistance and Design for Scale-Up

    Creator:
    Miller, Andrew G.
    Abstract:
    Modification of microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) by altering the sizes of the anode and the cathode, or their interaction with the liquid stream affects the performance of the MEC, but it remains difficult to quantify how much each change will contribute to the overall performance. Through this study, a method...

  • Removal of cryoprotectant with the use of a microseparation device

    Creator:
    Lusianti, Ratih E.
    Abstract:
    Cryoprotectants (CPAs) such as glycerol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are commonly used during cryopreservation of cell based therapeutics. Although these additives are beneficial during freezing, it is often desirable to remove them before infusion into a patient. Currently, the most common method for CPA removal is by centrifugation. This method...

  • Machine Learning Methods for Computational Sustainability

    Creator:
    Liu, Liping
    Abstract:
    Maintaining the sustainability of the earth’s ecosystems has attracted much attention as these ecosystems are facing more and more pressure from human activities. Machine learning can play an important role in promoting sustainability as a large amount of data is being collected from ecosystems. There are at least three important...

  • Does temperature affect the accuracy of vented pressure transducer in fine-scale water level measurement?

    Creator:
    Liu, Z. and Higgins, C. W.
    Abstract:
    Submersible pressure transducers have been utilized for collecting water level data since early 1960s. Together with a digital datalogger, it is a convenient way to record water level fluctuations for long-term monitoring. Despite the widely use of pressure transducers for water level monitoring, little has been reported for their accuracy...

  • Knowledge Base Completion Leveraging Natural Language Data

    Creator:
    Shahbazi, Hamed
    Abstract:
    Information about named entities (real-world objects) is usually harvested from different sources and organized as a multiple relational directed graph in Knowledge Bases (KBs). KBs play essential roles in many NLP modules including question answering, fact-checking, search engines, etc. KBs are big but still incomplete: relational information among entities is...

  • The Effect of HSA and Hematocrit on the Cake Collapse Temperature of Lyophilized Red Blood Cells

    Creator:
    Runyon, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, has shown great promise in addressing many of the logistical challenges of storing and preserving red blood cells (RBCs). A crucial part of any future RBC lyophilization protocol is the primary drying temperature, which affects the sample drying rate and the dried cake’s ability to form a...

  • Learning with Limited Labeled Data in Natural Language Processing

    Creator:
    Obeidat, Rasha
    Abstract:
    The advent of deep learning models leads to a substantial improvement in a wide range of NLP tasks, achieving state-of-art performances without any hand-crafted features. However, training deep models requires a massive amount of labeled data. Labeling new data as a new task or domain emerges consumes time and efforts...

  • Supervised Hierarchical Segmentation for Bird Bioacoustics

    Creator:
    Tjahja, Teresa V.
    Abstract:
    Bioacoustics analysis can be used to conduct environmental monitoring by detecting the presence of birds species. This analysis usually involves identifying the species from their calls. In most frameworks, bird song syllables are extracted from audio recordings and individual syllables are input to a classifier to identify the species. Extraction...
