  • Janus-Type Wicking Microfluidic Devices for Separation and Collection of Plasma from Blood

    Creator:
    Unitan, Linus J.
    Abstract:
    A simple Janus-type membrane-based wicking microfluidic device fabricated on a polycaprolactone-filled glass microfiber membrane enables separation and collection of blood plasma or serum from whole blood. This device bridges the wicking and cut-capillary-based solution transport mechanisms in a single membrane. The initial portion of the device is fabricated using selective...

  • An Improved Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction in pyMARS for Liquid Propellants

    Creator:
    Moore, Cailin J.
    Abstract:
    The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...

  • Molecular Origins of Recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII)

    Creator:
    Tadehara, Katherine M.
    Abstract:
    The capability of Pluronic® F68 to stabilize human recombinant Factor VIII in solution was assessed using zeta potential measurements. Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder in which the body is missing Factor VIII (FVIII) from the blood coagulation cascade. The pharmaceutical industry developed recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII), the largest cloned...

  • Surface patterning of biofilm : A toolbox study to detect microbial metabolites

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Kristine
    Abstract:
    Surface patterning of bacterial biofilm provides an opportunity to understand the microbial metabolic exchange between bacterial species. By using various techniques, one can put different bacterial species in close proximity and study their interaction by using various assay kits and analytical techniques. In this study, surface patterning of Pseudomonas aeruginosa...

  • Development of micro-wire solid-state sensors for the real-time detection of metabolites at the Streptococcus mutans biofilm-biomaterial interface

    Creator:
    Aponso, Savinda
    Abstract:
    We have developed a 100 m diameter solid-state potentiometric pH sensor to study the bacterial metabolism at the biofilm-biomaterial interface in real-time. The newly developed agar-coated pH sensor is both highly resistant to biofouling and stable, with a drift of 1 mV/h in physiological conditions. We used multiwall carbon nanotubes...

  • Evaluating the response of bees to visual attractants in resource-poor environments

    Creator:
    Parvin, Lucas
    Abstract:
    Bee populations are declining around the globe, while the need for their pollination services is increasing with growing food demands by an expanding population. There is a need for innovative practices to increase pollination in agricultural environments without harming wild bee populations. However, the use of artificial visual attractants has...

  • Cryogenic Single-Phase Heat Transfer in a Microscale Pin Fin Heat Sink

    Creator:
    Truong, Eric D.
    Abstract:
    A combined experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of single-phase liquid nitrogen flow through a microscale pin-fin heat sink is presented. Such cryogenic heat sinks could find use in applications such as high performance computing, spacecraft thermal management, and hydrogen storage thermal management. A circular pin fin heat sink...

  • Surfactant Effects on Adsorption of Recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII) at the Air-Water Interface

    Creator:
    Gray, Warren D.
    Abstract:
    The primary goal was to characterize the adsorption of a recombinant therapeutic protein in the presence of selected surfactant species at the air-water interface. For this purpose, dynamic interfacial tensiometry was used to determine the surface tension kinetics exhibited by protein solutions containing either Tween 80 or the poly[ethylene oxide]-...
