Catalysis of Biologically Relevant Chlorination Reactions by Nicotine, and Potential Relevance to Tissue Damage

Creator:: Dolan, Brigh G.
Abstract:: This work is concerned with determining whether nicotine has a role in promoting oxidative damage in human tissue, particularly in lung tissue. This follows from recent reports of a novel lung disease found in some E-cigarette users, characterized by oxidative damage and elevated levels of neutrophils (termed “vaping disease”). It...

Using SIMD and SIMT vectorization to evaluate sparse chemical kinetic Jacobian matrices and thermochemical source terms

Creator:: Curtis, Nicholas J., Niemeyer, Kyle E., and Sung, Chih-Jen
Abstract:: Accurately predicting key combustion phenomena in reactive-flow simulations, e.g., lean blow-out, extinction/ignition limits and pollutant formation, necessitates the use of detailed chemical kinetics. The large size and high levels of numerical stiffness typically present in chemical kinetic models relevant to transportation/power-generation applications make the efficient evaluation/factorization of the chemical kinetic...

Probing Aqueous Ion-Pairing and Speciation of Group V Polyoxometalates

Creator:: Sures, Dylan J.
Abstract:: Polyoxometalates are discrete anionic oxo clusters of the Group V and VI transition metals that can be conceptualized as molecular metal oxides. Because they are pairable with any alkali cation, a great deal of fundamental chemistry can be gleaned from their study, including solubility trends and insight into cation binding...

Analysis of Alternative Donor Breast Milk Pasteurization Techniques and Their Impact on Bile Salt-Stimulated Lipase Activity

Creator:: Victor, Ashley F.
Abstract:: While breast milk is considered the best nourishment for newborns, they have a lowered ability to digest the fat rich liquid due to decreased lipase secretion for the first few months after birth. To offset this, breast milk itself contains Bile Salt-Stimulated Lipase (BSSL) which significantly heightens fat digestion ability....

Evaluation of Governing Heat and Mass Transfer Resistances in Membrane Based Energy Recovery Ventilators with Internal Support Structures

Creator:: Armatis, Paul D. and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) are an effective way to reduce energy consumption in buildings while satisfying ventilation standards. As membrane technology and manufacturing methods improve, membrane based ERVs are seeing increased market penetration. In the present study, the feasibility of membrane ERV designed to fit in a commercial building wall...

Carbonates dissolution and precipitation in hemipelagic sediments overlaid by supersaturated bottom-waters - Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea

Creator:: Steiner, Zvi, Lazar, Boaz, Reimers, Clare E., and Erez, Jonathan
Abstract:: Whether CaCO₃ dissolves within the top centimeters of marine sediments overlaid by deep, supersaturated bottom waters remains an area of debate in geochemistry. This uncertainty stems from the fact that different methods used to assess CaCO₃ dissolution rates often provide what appear to be profoundly different results. Here we combine...

Temporal Genetic Variance and Propagule-Driven Genetic Structure Characterize Naturalized Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from a Patagonian Lake Impacted by Trout Farming

Creator:: Benavente, Javiera N., Seeb, Lisa W., Seeb, James E., Arismendi, Ivan, Hernández, Cristián E., Gajardo, Gonzalo, Galleguillos, Ricardo, Cádiz, Maria I., Musleh, Selim S., and Gomez-Uchida, Daniel
Abstract:: Knowledge about the genetic underpinnings of invasions—a theme addressed by invasion genetics as a discipline—is still scarce amid well documented ecological impacts of non-native species on ecosystems of Patagonia in South America. One of the most invasive species in Patagonia’s freshwater systems and elsewhere is rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). This...

Investigating Accelerated Carbonation Methods for Sequestering CO₂ into Lime Treated Soils

Creator:: Moore, Jaxom
Abstract:: Civil engineers frequently use lime to improve the mechanical properties of weak clayey soils. The production of lime is associated with significant CO₂ emissions. Sequestering carbon dioxide into the stabilized soil can effectively reduce the carbon footprint of the lime. In the presence of CO₂, unreacted lime in the stabilized...

Initial Evidence for Adaptive Selection on the NADH Subunit Two of Freshwater Dolphins by Analyses of Mitochondrial Genomes

Creator:: Caballero, Susana, Duchêne, Sebastian, Garavito, Manuel F., Slikas, Beth, and Baker, C. Scott
Abstract:: A small number of cetaceans have adapted to an entirely freshwater environment, having colonized rivers in Asia and South America from an ancestral origin in the marine environment. This includes the 'river dolphins', early divergence from the odontocete lineage, and two species of true dolphins (Family Delphinidae). Successful adaptation to...

Optimization of Power Output in a Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

Creator:: Redle, Michael
Abstract:: The introduction of an Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator in coal energy plants could potentially allow a 30% increase of efficiency by transforming energy within the channels where exhaust flows. The MHD generator increases efficiency by transforming kinetic energy from the exhaust into electricity by generating a Faraday and Hall current, which...

Friends For Lonely Gods: A Fantasy Linked Short Story Collection

Creator:: Marie-Rose, Madeleine A.
Abstract:: In real life, reputation and community can shape a person’s identity, actions, and fate. The goal of this thesis is to explore those connections through the lens of a fantasy universe where humans and fictional gods clash and coexist. These gods are not all-knowing and powerful, but fallible individuals who...

Photodimerization of Organic Semiconductors in the Strong Coupling Regime

Creator:: Puro, Richard
Abstract:: Organic semiconducting materials have emerged in the last few decades as viable alternatives to inorganics in broad applications from field effect transistors to LEDs to solar cells. Organics provide many benefits over inorganics such as flexibility, sustainability, and reduced cost. However, these materials are more susceptible to degradation in the...
