Han, Duanduan (2020-04-13)3D printing can manufacture polymer components with customized shapes and intricate structures easily without pre-made molds. When fabricated with responsive materials, smart 3D printed components experience shape morphing ...
-
Olokede, Opeyemi Adekunmi (2022-06-02)To improve biological digestibility, lignocellulose was pretreated by shock, alkali, and combinations thereof. Shock is most effective when it precedes alkaline pretreatment, presumably because it opens the biomass structure ...
-
Placido Escobar, Jersson Emir (2014-12-02)The application of ligninolytic fungi and enzymes is an option to overcome the issues related with the production of biofuels using cotton wastes. In this dissertation, the ligninolytic fungus and enzymes were evaluated ...
-
Darvekar, Pratik (2016-05-09)Fuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass, a renewable energy source, is an attractive solution to meet ever-increasing global energy needs and reduce global climate change. In the biochemical conversion of ...
-
Liang, Chao (2015-07-29)Enzymatic saccharification of non-food biomass, such as lignocellulose, can produce sugars. Sugars are the common feedstock for bioethanol, which can be substituted for transportation fuel and address the shortage of fossil ...
-
Guo, Shengchun (2018-05-04)Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional protein presented in various organs and body fluids in human body. OPN serves important roles in bone remolding, wound healing, and other biomineralization related physiological ...
-
Munjal, Neera (2014-12-03)The eukaryotic green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, is a unique expression platform that can efficiently express complex therapeutic proteins. However, demonstrating that therapeutic molecules can be produced in quantifiable ...
-
Kulkarni, Sayali Vishwas (2018-06-14)Microalgae are a rich source of various high-value biomolecules such as lipids, carbohydrates, protein and pigments. However, extraction of multiple high-value products is essential for sustainability and commercial ...
-
Lovelady, April 1978- (2012-05-09)The purpose of this research was to develop a process to produce JP8 hydrocarbons from miscane, a hybrid plant of sugarcane and Miscanthus. Bio-oil was produced from the pyrolysis of miscane at 400ºC, 500ºC and 600ºC. It ...
-
Davis, Ryan T. (2012-02-14)Recent progress in algae biotechnology indicates that microalgae have the potential of becoming a significant source for food, feed proteins, nutraceuticals, and lipids for biofuels. Typically low concentrations of ...
-
Barros, Georgia (2012-07-16)Transgenic plant systems have been proposed as bioreactors in the production of pharmaceutical and industrial proteins. The economic benefits of inexpensive plant production systems could be erased if the downstream ...
-
Wu, Haoran (2018-11-29)The carboxylate platform is a biomass-to-energy process that converts biomass into hydrocarbon fuels or chemicals. The mixed-acid fermentation is the essential unit of the process that uses mixed cultures of microorganisms ...
-
Liu, Kejia (2020-04-02)The MixAlco® process, an example of the carboxylate platform, converts lignocellulosic biomass to hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals using mixing cultures. The performance of mixed-culture fermentation depends on various ...
-
Hsu, Shen-Chun (2019-04-12)In mixed-culture fermentations of lignocellulosic biomass, periodical product removal has proven to reduce product inhibition and thereby increase biomass digestion. Previously, ion-exchange resin (Amberlite IRA-67) was ...
-
Alves De Oliveira, Daniela (2021-10-25)Recurrent foodborne pathogen outbreaks result in significant economic and public health burden. Thus, there is a critical need for the development of real-time and reliable detection methods to prevent disease outbreaks ...
-
Morrison, Taylor 1986- (2012-08-30)Process variables of electrolytic technology to reduce the energy consumption of harvesting Nonnocloropsis salina were investigated including electro-coagulation, electro-floatation, and electro-flocculation. Electro-coagulation ...
-
Ravi, Ayswarya (2019-07-12)Biotherapeutics are lifesaving drugs, but their cost is prohibitively high for widespread use. Multiple chromatography operations required to meet stringent regulatory standards, contributes up to 70% of manufacturing cost. ...
-
Murdock, Jared (2014-05-01)Microalgae have received a substantial amount of attention as an alternative fuel feedstock due to their ability to produce large quantities of lipids. The goal of this research was to determine the ideal operating parameters ...
-
Yeu, Seung Uk (2010-10-12)Over the past few decades there has been great interest in exploring alternatives to conventional separation methods due to their high cost and energy requirements. Membranes offer a potentially attractive alternative as ...
