Influence of processing parameters on diffusion of divalent nickel in wet silica sol-gel monoliths

Creator:: Dickson, David J.
Abstract:: The diffusion of divalent nickel (Ni²⁺) from wet silica gels was investigated. Silica gel is gaining interest as an encapsulation matrix for biological components. The transport of biologically relevant species within the gel is determined by the structural characteristics of the gel, which are in turn governed by synthesis parameters....

Characterization of liquid droplets from inkjet printers by optical scattering

Creator:: Wang, Xiangyu
Abstract:: Due to the wide applications of inkjet printers in industry and our daily life, characterization of liquid droplets from inkjet printers, particularly the behaviors of the impact and diffusion of the droplets on the surface of and inside porous medium is of great interest. One conventional characterization method uses high-speed...

Radial Velocity Profiles and Magnetic Field Probes for Hypervelocity Plasma Deflagration Jets

Creator:: Rodriguez, Jesse A.
Abstract:: The fundamental physics of turbulence in plasma is not well understood. Recent studies of the plasma deflagration accelerator in the High Temperature Gasdynamics Lab at Stanford University have demonstrated the presence of small scale instabilities that limit the lifetime of the jet/Z pinch and are not reproduced by coaxial plasma...

Shape transformation using compactly supported radial basis functions

Creator:: Park, Byungsoo
Abstract:: Shape transformation is a technique for gradually changing one geometric shape to another. A recent approach presents the use of thin-plate radial basis functions as opposed to traditional "blobby sphere" implicit functions. Without the explicit evaluation of he energy function, this approach combined the two traditional steps into one by...

Development of a radial microlamination architecture for cylindrical microchannel arrays

Creator:: Vlieg, James H.
Abstract:: Microchannel arrays are being developed across a wide spectrum of microfluidic applications including blood processing, fuel cells and thermal management among many others. Typical arrays are based on a flat laminated architecture produced in a vacuum hot press (VHP) through solid-state diffusion bonding. Due to the cylindrical nature of certain...

Effect of selenium source and supplementation rate in ewes on selenium status, passive immunity and growth performance of their lambs

Creator:: Stewart, Whitney C.
Abstract:: Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient of sheep. Supplementation is especially important in young lambs in order to prevent Se-deficiency signs. In the United States, the FDA regulates Se supplementation to ruminant diets at a level of 0.3 mg/kg Se (as fed basis). Questions still exist regarding what chemical form...

A Proposed Social Return on Investment Reporting Tool for Oregon Nonprofit Organizations Supporting Anti-Poverty Welfare Programs

Creator:: Martin, Molly Anne
Abstract:: Nonprofit organizations are feeling increased pressure to demonstrate their service’s impacts to their investors. Social return on investment is a tool that measures the social efficiency, or social return, of services by calculating a social return ratio. While social return on investment has seen increasing use by nonprofit organizations, a...

Growth and development of temperate and tropical passerines of the New World : a life history perspective

Creator:: Austin-Bythell, Suzanne H.
Abstract:: I studied developmental rates in a suite of temperate and tropical passerine bird species from the New World to test the hypothesis that tropical passerines exhibit slower patterns of growth and development than temperate birds. I also investigated how the expression of several developmental rates varied with life history traits...

Ecophysiology of Marine Bivalves : Physiological Rate Processes in Dynamic Environments

Creator:: Gray, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Marine bivalves are globally recognized as ecologically and commercially valuable species and, for over a century, researchers have been studying their feeding, digestion and other related physiological processes. These studies have shown that marine bivalves have complex feeding and particle processing behaviors to maximize growth in dynamic environmental conditions. Additionally,...

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...
