  • Relationship between disability orientation and participation of children with disabilities in aquatic programs

    Creator:
    Schram, Bridgette M.
    Abstract:
    Increased physical activity (PA) in children has been linked to improved quality of life, as well as the establishment of life-long PA habits that lead to improved health outcomes. The literature suggests that children who participate in organized sport programs engage in more PA than children who do not. Notably,...

  • Experiencing service-learning in prison

    Creator:
    Kopet, Julie G.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of incarcerated women who participated in a service-learning program to help the homeless. Service-learning is effective pedagogy for involving students in civic engagement, and their involvement has been shown to increase the self-esteem of participating college students....

  • Investigation of Thermal Degradation in Structural Alloys for Nuclear Power Systems

    Creator:
    Teng, Fei
    Abstract:
    The thermal degradation of structural materials is considered to be a key factor for evaluating the lifetime of current nuclear power plants. Ni-based and Fe-based alloys, such as 690, 625, 304, and 316, are widely used in nuclear industry as structural components due to the extraordinary corrosion resistance and mechanical...

  • Corrosion of Carbon and Stainless Steels in H₂O-sCO₂ Environments for Power Cycle Applications

    Creator:
    Teeter, Lucas
    Abstract:
    The corrosion behaviors of carbon and stainless steels were investigated in supercritical CO₂ (sCO₂ ) containing H₂O and O₂ simulating conditions that exist in direct sCO₂ power cycle heat exchangers. Thermodynamic properties of CO₂-H₂O-O₂ systems related to the corrosion phenomena were determined using NIST software. The exposure tests of the...

  • Microstructural Characterization of Porosity in U-Mo Low Enriched Uranium Plate Fuel

    Creator:
    Westman, Bjorn E.
    Abstract:
    New low enriched uranium (LEU) fuels are being developed for replacement of high enriched uranium (HEU) fuels in high power research reactors. U-Mo LEU plate fuels have been identified as a candidate for replacement of current HEU fuels. However, U-Mo fuels tend to exhibit accelerated swelling typically at fission densities...

  • Corrosion Resistance of Alloys in Seawater and Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Environments

    Creator:
    Repukaiti, Reyixiati
    Abstract:
    The corrosion resistances of several alloys were investigated to optimize performance and cost in seawater and supercritical CO2 environments. Many alloys are prone to corrosion in seawater and/or supercritical CO2 containing impurity environments. Exposure and electrochemical experiments were conducted in both environments to evaluate alloys’ corrosion resistance. In seawater corrosion...

  • Corrosion Resistance of Alloys in Direct-Fired Supercritical CO₂ Power Cycle Aqueous Environments

    Creator:
    Repukaiti, Reyixiati
    Abstract:
    Using supercritical CO₂ (sCO₂) as a working fluid has increasingly gained attention in the energy industry. sCO₂ power cycles has various advantages, such as high cycle efficiency, compact turbomachinery, and potential zero CO₂ emission. Along with these benefits, materials degradation issues have also been emphasized in the last decade. Aqueous...

  • Calpain 2 Cleavage of Akt in Glioblastoma Multiforme

    Creator:
    Zhang, Justin
    Abstract:
    Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor that has extremely poor prognoses with a 5 year survival rate of less than 5%. The low survival rates of glioblastoma patients is attributed to glioblastoma cells being extremely resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy as well as being very invasive. We previously identified calpain...

  • Role of Stoichiometry on Ordering in Ni-Cr Alloys

    Creator:
    Teng, Fei
    Abstract:
    Mechanical property degradation due to isothermal ageing is of potential concern for alloys based on the Ni-Cr binary system (e.g., Inconel 690, 625), particularly in nuclear power applications where component lifetimes can exceed 40 years. In the present research, the disorder-order phase transformation, which is the primary mechanism of ageing,...

  • Aqueous Corrosion and High Temperature Oxidation in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Environments

    Creator:
    Teeter, Lucas
    Abstract:
    The corrosion resistance of steels and nickel based alloys was investigated in supercritical CO2 (sCO2). Two types of experiments were conducted. The first set of experiments were conducted in a low temperature aqueous environment to simulate conditions that would exist in direct sCO2 power cycle low temperature heat exchangers. The...
