Locating and Quantifying Contamination Deposited in Radiation Puncture Wounds

Creator:: Wehmann, Nicholas K.
Abstract:: Internal dosimetry models show a representation of how radionuclides move through the body. This study takes a look at radiation wounds by modelling a puncture wound to the hand using Microshield software. An analysis of these models provides a triangulation method that could be used to investigate wound characteristics, as...

Understanding the Impact of Global Warming on Orographic Rain Shadows: Insights from a Pseudo-Global Warming Simulation over the Western United States

Creator:: Koszuta, Matthew
Abstract:: Some studies using regional climate models (RCMs) suggest a weakening of the climatological rain-shadow along the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountains during the western US cool-season. To identify the possible mechanisms of rain-shadow weakening under warming, a new set of 30-year, high-resolution (6 km) pseudo-global warming (PGW) simulations were analyzed...

Evaluating a Zonal-mean Hydrologic Model Against a Water Tag-enabled Global Simulation

Creator:: Mandovi, Andrew
Abstract:: The hydrologic cycle on Earth comprises the transitions among the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of water. Understanding the hydrologic cycle is of course important for climate science, but also for agricultural, drinking water, and disaster preparedness purposes. Improvements in satellite observations and general circulation models (GCMs) have led to...

Understanding Drivers of Glacier Length Variability Over the Last Millennium

Creator:: Huston, Alan C.
Abstract:: Changes in glacier length reflect the integrated response to local fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, but when do such changes indicate forced climate change, and when do they indicate natural variability? In this study, we simulate the past ~1000 years of glacier length variability across the globe using the 3-stage...

Systematically evaluating the developmental toxicity of nanomaterials using the zebrafish model

Creator:: Edwards, Sabrina R.
Abstract:: As engineered nanomaterials (ENM) become more common in consumer products, it is crucial to rapidly assess toxicity of unique ENM. Previous studies rarely focused on standardizing nanotoxicity testing, leading to inconsistent and irreproducible results. This study characterized a variety of ENM of different size, shape, core type, and surface charge...

Parallel Implementation of Concentrated Solar Power and Energy Storage into the Brayton Cycle

Creator:: Lopez, Blake R.
Abstract:: Concentrated solar power (CSP) along with thermal energy storage (TES) has the potential to provide reliable energy from an intermittent source. TES is used to store energy while the sun is shining, allowing for the stored energy to be used when the sun is no longer shining. There are many...

Carbonation Kinetics of SrO By CO₂ for Solar Thermochemical Energy Storage

Creator:: Bagherisereshki, Elham
Abstract:: Given its abundance and accessibility, exploiting solar energy is a powerful approach to reduce dependency on fossil fuels for energy generation. Thermochemical reactions using concentrated solar power at high temperature are an attractive method of energy storage in support of concentrated solar power (CSP). Thermochemical energy storage of on-sun thermal...

Solar Thermal Energy System for Renewable Desalination

Creator:: McLaughlin, Ryan P.
Abstract:: Natural freshwater availability is decreasing as the global population increases. Advances in desalination technologies aim to produce fresh water in an economical way. More sustainable energy sources are desired for these desalination plants to limit the carbon footprint of water production since global carbon dioxide production is exacerbating freshwater scarcity....

Reactive Phase Change Materials for Enhanced Thermal Energy Storage

Creator:: Drake, Griffin S.
Abstract:: Effective storage and release of low-to-moderate temperature thermal energy (e.g. solar thermal or geothermal) could be transformational for applications such as space heating/cooling, domestic hot water, or off-grid cooking. Good candidates for thermal energy storage in this temperature range include latent heat storage (LHS) systems and thermochemical energy storage (TCES)...
