  • Evaluation of remediation techniques for circular holes in the webs of wood I-joists

    Creator:
    Polocoser, Tiberiu
    Abstract:
    The objective of this project was to evaluate methods to remediate a wood I-joist with a single, circular hole in the web while leaving utilities in place. The methods were experimentally evaluated with a full-scale bending test using four equally spaced point loads. There were three depths of joists with...

  • Molecular origins of peptide entrapment in polyethylene oxide layers

    Creator:
    Wu, Xiangming
    Abstract:
    A more quantitative understanding of peptide entrapment and elution from otherwise protein-repellent polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush layers will provide direction for development of new strategies for drug storage and delivery. Here we describe criteria for peptide integration and structural change within the PEO brush, and discuss the reversibility of peptide...

  • Evaluating Driver Response to the Onset of Circular Yellow Indication in the Presence of a Following Vehicle at Isolated High-Speed Signalized Intersections

    Creator:
    Mohammed, Hameed A.
    Abstract:
    Dilemma zones on the approach to high-speed signalized intersections have been identified as a safety problem that can contribute to rear–end and right–angle crashes. However, in situations when a pair of vehicles is caught in the dilemma zone, it is not well understood how the following vehicle’s headway and classification...

  • Local heat transfer rate and bubble dynamics during jet impingement boiling

    Creator:
    Mani, Preeti
    Abstract:
    Characterization of local boiling trends, in addition to the typically reported area-averaged trends, is essential for the robust design and implementation of phase change technologies to sensitive heat transfer applications such as electronics cooling. Obtaining the values of heat fluxes corresponding to locally varying surface temperatures has been a challenge...

  • Food for Axiology : Acknowledging Relationships

    Creator:
    Piquette, Daniel S.
    Abstract:
    An overarching explanation for environmental degradation has been humans' disconnection from the natural world. Utilizing Whiteheadian theory, I offer that there is no disconnection. Rather, I propose that there is a dearth of relational acknowledgement. I suggest that the Cartesian dualism and modern science led to an illusory belief that...

  • Automated feature extraction for orientation and slicing in microlamination

    Creator:
    Ariastuti, Retna
    Abstract:
    The research is about developing a computerized design system for microtechnology-based energy, and chemical systems (MECS). MECS devices are a part of microfabrication, which primarily focuses on taking advantage of the extremely high rates of heat and mass transfer available in microstructures. It typically consists of intricate arrays of components...

  • Stability and Liftoff of Non-premixed Large Hydrocarbon Flames in MILD Conditions

    Creator:
    Walters, Eric M.
    Abstract:
    The Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion regime has received interest from the industrial furnace and gas turbine engine industries due to attractive properties of reduced NO[subscript x] emissions and high thermal efficiency. MILD combustion is characterized by low oxygen concentrations (i.e. 3%-9% by volume) and high reactant temperatures....

  • Characterizing the Functional Properties of Otoferlin, Essential for Neurotransmission in Inner Hair Cells of the Cochlea

    Creator:
    Narayanappa, Murugesh
    Abstract:
    Hearing loss is one of the most common defect, affecting 360 million people worldwide due to several factors including congenital, present at or soon after birth or acquired with age. Congenital hearing loss affects 32 million children in the world. The economic impact of hearing loss is estimated to cost...

    Abstract:
    A constant push from society for more information with richer content simultaneously available at the consumers fingertips have pushed the speeds of electronics to extremes. Bus lines on circuit boards responsible for data communication are being pushed to their limit to meet these demands. As data busses are pushed to...

    Creator:
    Kelley, Jeremiah (Jeremiah Joseph)
    Abstract:
    Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have received considerable attention over the last ten years because CNCs can be produced from renewable materials such as straw, wood, cotton, and sea animals (tunicates). CNCs are slender rods with high aspect ratios (10-100) and the final dimensions of the CNCs depend on the starting material....
