Abstract:: While metaphysical turmoil is the essential human problem in T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land,” “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and “Preludes,” traditional criticism of the poems relegates the physical world to a merely rhetorical role. This thesis argues that Eliot’s use of objects in his poetry suggests they...

Abstract:: Forward osmosis provides a low energy alternative for waste water purification. One of the major issues facing this process is the formation of a foulant layer preventing fluid transfer across the membrane. In recent studies, a conductive layer added to the membrane surface allowing an electric charge to be present...

Creator:: Holmes, Aleczander S.
Abstract:: The common choice in computational approximations, from 0 K to room temperature, of solid materials is to assume the structure remains unchanged at low temperatures. Often such an approximation is a very reasonable assumption. However, this approximation is not absolute and can break down even for relatively simple materials such...

Creator:: Rath, Jeremy J.
Abstract:: This research investigates the electronic properties of a fungi-derived pigment, xylindein as a novel sustainable material for organic electronics. Xylindein molecules were characterized in solution and in film. Absorption spectra and (photo)luminescence spectra were taken at various excitation wavelengths. Xylindein’s molecular properties were computed with the Gaussian 09 software suite....

Creator:: Ahmed, Aneeq
Abstract:: We computationally modeled protostellar star-disk systems with star to disk mass ratio of 10. Our computational models looked at the development of density perturbations in these systems for different geometries of the system. The ratio of the star’s height and radius (rₚ/rₑ) is varied between 0.1746 and 0.88095. We modeled...
