Unraveling the Diagenetic Cycling and Sequestration of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) in Marine Sediments to Understand REE Accumulation in Ancient Shales

Creator:: Yang, Jon
Abstract:: The rare earth elements (REEs) have been established as powerful tracers for a range of physiochemical processes occurring in the natural environment. They also hold significant economic importance as many technological advancements are reliant upon the REEs for their unique magnetic, luminescent, and electrochemical characteristics. In sedimentary settings, understanding the...

Full Text:: REEs for economic extraction. In this dissertation, I attempt to refine our understanding of REE

Experimental Investigations of the Unsteady Aerodynamics of Oscillating Airfoils Operating in the Energy Harvesting Regime

Creator:: Siala, Firas F.
Abstract:: The rising global trend to reduce dependence on fossil fuels has provided significant motivation toward the development of alternative energy conversion methods and new technologies to improve their efficiency. Recently, oscillating energy harvesters have shown promise as highly efficient and scalable turbines, which can be implemented in areas where traditional...

Mitochondrial decay in the aging rat heart : changes in fatty acid-supported bioenergetics and macromolecular organization of the electron transport system

Creator:: Gómez Ramirez, Luis A.
Abstract:: Decline in cardiac pump function is a hallmark of aging where mitochondrial decay is an important underlying cause. Although certainly multifactorial in nature, both dysfunction of the machinery involved in the chemiosmotic process of energy transduction and lower capacity to maintain fatty acid-driven respiration are identified as intrinsic factors of...

Temperature Evolution of Spark Kernels in Quiescent and Cross-flow Conditions

Creator:: Okhovat, Sebastian
Abstract:: Numerous physical and chemical processes are required for successful ignition of a flammable mixture, many of which have been well characterized. However, one aspect of the ignition process that has received limited consideration is understanding the temperature of the spark kernel. A spark kernel is the volume of heated gas...

Numerical Modeling of Mass Timber Connections

Creator:: Hollenbeck, Sean R.
Abstract:: Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is a prefabricated building material that is relatively new to the United States and North America. It consists of no less than three layers of graded, dimensional lumber glued in alternating longitudinal and transverse layers to create a panel that can be used for various building applications...

Quantification of Reactor Kinetics Parameters during Reactor Transients using Cherenkov Light and Auxiliary Application to Nuclear Safeguards

Creator:: Holschuh, Thomas V.
Abstract:: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is the leading organization for monitoring nuclear facilities worldwide, and the Agency’s methods are constantly developing and improving in an effort to more effectively safeguard nuclear material. As such, the IAEA addresses near and long term risks in order to advance the capabilities of...

Canine LH Receptors Expression in Non-neoplastic and Neoplastic Tissues

Creator:: Zwida, Khawla
Abstract:: Throughout most of the developed world, surgical sterilization via gonadectomy has become a common tool for combating the overpopulation of unwanted dogs as well as to eliminate the risk of reproductive diseases in pet dogs. In the dog as in other normal adult mammal, the hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH),...

Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase and inhibitor expression in sheep embryos and uterus

Creator:: Paul, Katy Beth
Abstract:: Expression of membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP) was evaluated in sheep embryos and uterus during the pre- and peri-implantation periods. Embryos and uterine samples were surgically collected from ewes on days 9, 11, 13, and 15 of pregnancy (n=3 ewes/day) and of the estrous...

The Evolution: Electric Vehicles and the End of Oil Addiction

Creator:: Donahue, Cory
Abstract:: The world is currently using an unsustainable system of meeting its transportation needs with oil. This system is taking a toll on the world environment and on global politics. The physical availability of oil is the system’s most immediate problem and will most likely bring about a transition away from...

Experiments on a low aspect ratio wing at low Reynolds numbers

Creator:: Morse, Daniel R.
Abstract:: At the start of the 21st century much of the focus of aircraft design has been turned to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) which generally operate at much lower speeds in higher risk areas than manned aircraft. One subset of UAVs are Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) which usually are no larger...
