  • Bioavailability of vitamin B-6 from test foods and metabolism of vitamin B-6 in men receiving supplementary pyridoxine

    Creator:
    Wang, Kuen Wu
    Abstract:
    The bioavailability of vitamin B-6 from four selected foods was investigated in five men, aged 22 to 25 years, who were receiving a pyridoxine supplement. The subjects received a constant diet containing 1.34 mg of vitamin B-6 throughout this five-week study, except on Saturdays and Sundays when they ate their...

  • Performance of a thermally activated cooling system and design of a microchannel heat recovery unit

    Creator:
    Seward, Ryan
    Abstract:
    The performance of a combined vapor-compression cycle/ORC is evaluated using waste-heat from a diesel generator. A flat plate microchannel heat exchanger is employed to provide energy exchange between the diesel exhaust stream and an oil loop, which provides energy to a boiler. This study finds an increased diesel duty corresponds...

  • Stochastic Characterization of Highway Capacity and Its Applications

    Creator:
    Dong, Shangjia
    Abstract:
    Highway capacity has traditionally been treated as deterministic. In reality, however, capacity can vary from time to time and location to location due to inclement weather, various driving behavior, traffic incident, bottleneck and workzone. This thesis aims to characterize the stochastic variations of highway capacity, and explore its applications. The...

  • Optofluidic Sensing from Inkjet-Printed Droplets on Diatom Biosilica

    Creator:
    Xi, Yuting
    Abstract:
    We explored an optofluidic sensing mechanism from inkjet-printed droplets on diatom biosilica using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Our study revealed a new biosensing strategy that combines the microscopic fluidic flow induced by the droplet evaporation and the photonic crystal effects of diatom frustules, which can provide an ultra-sensitive, cost-effective biosensing...

  • Agent-based Tsunami Evacuation Model : Life Safety and Network Resilience

    Creator:
    Mostafizi, Alireza
    Abstract:
    Natural disasters could result in unnecessary loss of life and disproportionate suffering to families and communities if evacuation plans are not in place or understood by the public. In the Pacific Northwest, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami from the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) represents one of the most pressing...

  • Multi-Modal Biosensing with Diatom Photonic Crystal Biosilica

    Creator:
    Squire, Kenneth J.
    Abstract:
    The need to detect trace amounts of target molecules is great, particularly when it comes to biosensing. With the early detection of a disease, the odds of the successful treatment of an individual increases significantly. To enhance the capability of biomolecular detection, we have created an optical biosensor capable of...

  • Networked Multi-agent Modeling of Connected Vehicles in Mixed Traffic Environment: A Decentralized Consensus Approach

    Creator:
    Wahid, Merih
    Abstract:
    Transportation systems are facing safety and operational challenges with a cost of billions of dollars annually in lost production time and wasted fuel. Infrastructure expansion, previously held as a panacea to most transportation challenges has lost its appeal due to financial, land-use and environmental constraints. Interest is surging in intelligent...

  • An Agent-based Evacuation Modeling of Underground Fire Emergency

    Creator:
    Xu, Yue
    Abstract:
    Increasingly congested surface transportation network in urban areas and grow-ing land values make underground transportation systems more attractive for high-ways (i.e., tunnels) and metro system compared to other options [1]. An underground transportation system can preserve the land above for recreational parks, commer-cial buildings, residential homes, or other purposes while...

  • Efficient VLSI architectures for MIMO and cryptography systems

    Creator:
    Li, Qingwei
    Abstract:
    Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems have recently been considered as one of the most significant technology breakthroughs for modern wireless communications, due to the higher spectral efficiency and improved link reliability. The sphere decoding algorithm (SDA) has been widely used for maximum likelihood (ML) detection in MIMO systems. It is...
