  • Progress in the development of a portable phoswich-style skin contamination dosimeter

    Creator:
    Tang, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    The Code of Federal Regulations (10CFR20.1201) mandates occupational dose limits to the shallow, lens and deep tissue layers. The NRC-accepted procedure of estimating dose to these layers from contamination events is laborious. The current work aims to further the development of a portable phoswich-style skin dosimeter that will operate in...

  • Road design process for low volume recreation and resource development roads

    Creator:
    Kramer, Brian W.
    Abstract:
    This study presents a rational process with supporting data to establish appropriate road design controls, criteria, and standards for low volume recreation and resource development. Much of the information presented can be used to supplement design data presented in a National road design policy published by the American Association of...

  • Dynamic behavior of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

    Creator:
    Kent, Scott M.
    Abstract:
    The objectives of this research were to evaluate the behavior of actual metal-plate-connected (MPC) tension-splice and heel wood truss joints under seismic loads from the Northridge earthquake (tension-splice joints only) and under loads from a large artificial earthquake (1.0 g's and 0.67 g's maximum horizontal and vertical accelerations, respectively). A...

  • Engineering design and analysis of pipe ramming installations

    Creator:
    Meskele, Tadesse
    Abstract:
    The trenchless technology known as pipe ramming for construction of culverts and buried pipes under roadways or other infrastructure has gained significant popularity due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to alleviate surface disruptions associated with open-cut trenching. Although the experience with pipe ramming is increasing, there has been remarkably little...

  • Design Techniques of High-Speed Silicon Photonics Transceiver

    Creator:
    Li, Hao
    Abstract:
    The rapid scaling of network bandwidth and data center throughput has motivated the wide adoption of high speed transceivers. Silicon photonics (Si-Photonic) is one of the most promising techniques to realize tightly integrated optical transceivers for next-generation high speed I O standards. This dissertation focuses on the design techniques of...

  • Determining the dimensional requirements of a reliable compression sealing method for use in microchannel hemodialysers

    Creator:
    Ward, Dustin K.
    Abstract:
    Almost 600,000 people in the United States were treated for End Stage Renal Disease in 2010. A majority of those people received hemodialysis from central medical facilities. It has been reported a better treatment option for these patients would be realized if the patients had more frequent hemodialysis treatments. A...

  • Comparison of two microvalve designs fabricated in mild steel using microprojection welding and capacitive dissociation

    Creator:
    Terhaar, Tyson J.
    Abstract:
    Since the dawn of the computer age, there has been a push to create miniature devices. These devices were initially integrated circuit (IC) devices to perform calculations for computers. As the technology progressed, the scope of the devices diverged to included microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices, meaning that the devices perform mechanical...

  • Development of self-registration features for the assembly of a microchannel hemodialyser

    Creator:
    Porter, Spencer D.
    Abstract:
    More than 1.2 million people worldwide require regular hemodialysis therapy to treat end stage renal failure. In the United States alone, there are 300,000 patients and the National Kidney Foundation predicts that this number will double in the next 10 years. Currently most dialysis patients receive treatment at a dialysis...

  • Small-scale modeling of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

    Creator:
    Kittel, Mark
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to develop a one-third scale model of full-size (prototype) metal-plate-connected (MPC) wood truss joints using similitude theory. The prototype metal connector plates in MPC joints were modeled using thin galvanized sheet metal and short staples. Truss grade wood material was ripped to one-third scale...

  • Short-term duration of load and cyclic performance of metal-plate-connected truss joints

    Creator:
    Freilinger, Shawn M. Wicks
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to evaluate the duration of load factor for metal-plate-connected (MPC) truss joints subjected to various cyclic loading conditions. Heel and tension-splice joints from a standard 30-foot span Fink truss constructed from nominal 2x4 Douglas-fir lumber were tested. A testing frame similar to that developed...
