Assessing sustainable governance in Kuwait after the First Gulf War

Creator:: Husain, Abdullah M.
Abstract:: The First Gulf War that took place in Kuwait in 1991 resulted in one of the worst environmental disasters in the history of mankind. Extreme pollution affected the soil, waters, and the air in Kuwait. In this research I try to look into how the Kuwaiti government reacted to those...

Novel System Design and Operational Strategies for the Production of Biofuels and Bioproducts

Creator:: Kadhum, Haider J.
Abstract:: Enzymatic hydrolysis is a critical process in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and biochemicals. Achieving high efficiencies and productivity during the enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass is the key for the commercially viable process. Downstream processing challenges require high product titers which in turn require the use of high...

Biological insertion of nanostructured germanium and titanium oxides into diatom biosilica

Creator:: Jeffryes, Clayton S.
Abstract:: There is significant interest in titanium oxide and germanium-silicon oxide nanocomposites for optoelectronic, photocatalytic, and solar cell applications. The ability of the marine diatom Pinnularia sp. to uptake soluble metal oxides from cell culture medium, and incorporate them into the micro- and nano-structure of their amorphous silica cell walls, called...

Dispense Effects Using Thermal Inkjet for Pharmaceuticals

Creator:: Saeed, Ahson B.
Abstract:: The purpose of this project is to characterize mixing effects of the Beta 2 tool that is under development by the Hewlett Packard Pinot team. By optimization of a stage oscillation process, the undesirable effects of a locally high concentrated drug elution within a well plate can be alleviated. This...

Analysis of Chemical Leaching from Common Consumer Plastic Bottles Under High Stress Conditions

Creator:: Dornath, Paul John
Abstract:: There has been much controversy in recent years over the leaching of chemicals from plastic water bottles. In this study, two of the most common plastics used in water bottles, polyethylene terphthalate (PETE) and polycarbonate (PC) were studied. The leaching of the chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) from polycarbonate (Nalgene ™, Camelback...

Evaporation of an ammonia chloride stream to produce aqueous ammonia and 40 wt % calcium chloride

Creator:: Ivey, Thadeus J.
Abstract:: Production of calcium chloride (CaCl2) and aqueous ammonia (NH4 +) from the ammonia chloride (NH4Cl) stream in the Solvay process was studied using an Ammonia Recovery Tower to produce 29 wt % aqueous ammonia and 40 wt % CaCl2 from the process feed stream or the tower bottoms stream. OLI,...

Assessing the toxicity of nanoplastics using the primary human bronchial epithelial model

Creator:: Germano, Francesca
Abstract:: Emerging data showing the presence of atmospheric microplastics (MPs) has recently raised awareness surrounding the potential of human nanoplastics (NPs) exposure. Due to factors such as weathering, UV exposure, and other biodegradation processes, plastic pollution in the environment breaks down over time into micro (<5 micrometers) and nanoscale (<1000nm) particles....

Nucleic Acid Based Therapeutics for Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis

Creator:: McKinney, Madison J.
Abstract:: Cystic fibrosis is an inherited genetic disease caused by a single gene mutation in the CFTR protein. Affecting 70,000 people worldwide, this disease is debilitating to patients, resulting in persistent lung infections and decreased quality of life. Due to the various mutation types, there is not currently a single drug...

Development of Practical Accelerated Testing Protocols for the Performance Evaluation of Concrete against Microbially Induced Corrosion of Concrete

Creator:: Erbektas, Ali Riza
Abstract:: Sustainable wastewater infrastructure systems are vital for civilizations to protect public health. Most of the structural elements of wastewater infrastructure are constructed using concrete owing to its versatility, low cost, and durability. Concrete structures that are exposed to wastewater can experience Microbially Induced Corrosion of Concrete (MICC), which is a...
