Agrawal, Nitin (2009-05-15)An ideal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system should be capable of rapidly amplifying a wide range of targets in both single and multiplex formats. Unfortunately, the timescales and complexities involved in many existing ...
-
Biswas, Aniket (2017-09-26)Composite materials have recently been introduced as versatile systems for embedding functional microdomains within moldable hydrogels. Potential applications for these materials include optical biosensing, drug delivery, ...
-
Gu, Zhihui (2009-05-15)Platinum (Pt) alloy nanoparticles are used as catalysts in electrochemical cells to reduce oxygen to water and to oxidize hydrogen; the overall reaction converts chemical energy into electrical energy. These nanocatalysts ...
-
Williams, Todd Andrew (2016-09-21)Public safety has long been one of the chief design concerns for Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). For this reason, the design of a NPP must include plans for different accident scenarios called Design Basis Accidents (DBAs). ...

Kassab, Asmaa 1983- (2012-08-16)In an effort to understand the resuspension phenomena, interactions of spherical micro-meter particles (glass beads (GB) and Stainless steel (SS)) were investigated experimentally on different surfaces (glass, ceramic, ...
-
Choi, Byung-Hee (2018-05-01)A microfluidic filtration device based on the configuration of two curved parallel lanes connected through a narrow bridge is investigated in this study. The bridge is oriented perpendicular to the main flow direction, ...
-
Lavi, Edwin David (2023-05-01)To manage large blood inventories efficiently for transfusions, medical institutions require cost-effective tools to characterize the viability of human red blood cells (RBCs) from the point of collection to transfusion. ...
-
Shi, Nan (2014-08-20)Many efforts to develop advanced medical diagnostic capabilities rely on the ability to perform size-based separations of DNA and proteins. Miniaturized formats have potential to provide rapid integrated solutions, but ...
-
Ozturk, Serdar 1979- (2012-10-05)Nanofluids, a new class of fluids engineered by suspending nanometer-sized particles in a host liquid, are offered as a new strategy in order to improve heat and mass transfer efficiency. My research was motivated by ...
-
Chawla, Ravi (2016-05-05)A static droplet array was used for growth investigation of single-and multiple cells of two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (FY2 and SM14/P1A2). The observed encapsulation efficiency for single cells was 36.4% which was ...
-
Sudarsan, Arjun Penubolu (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Mixing of fluids at the microscale poses a variety of challenges, many of which arise from the fact that molecular diffusion is the dominant transport mechanism in the laminar flow regime. The unfavorable combination of ...
-
Huang, Jen-Huang (2012-12-07)Microfluidic technology is a useful tool to help answer unsolved problems in multidisciplinary fields, including molecular biology, clinical pathology and the pharmaceutical industry.Current microfluidic based devices with ...
-
PEO-Silane Amphiphiles as Surface-Modifying Additives to Improve the Protein Resistance of Silicone Rufin, Marc Albert (2015-10-06)Silicone materials are commonly used for implantable medical devices because of their favorable bulk properties. Unfortunately, due to their hydrophobicity, silicones have a high affinity for protein adsorption which makes ...
-
Harahsheh, Talal Bader (2017-05-09)The current shortage of the widely used radionuclide ^99mTc has raised many concerns in the nuclear medicine industry. The shortage is caused by the outdated method of production using highly enriched uranium (HEU) and ...
-
Chang, Jamison (2013-02-13)Accurate information about particle roughness and the deformation that occurs when a particle is in contact with a surface is needed to provide improved models of particle resuspension and adhesion. The capabilities of ...
-
Lee, Jieun (2022-04-27)The verification and validation of Pronghorn is imperative for predicting the fluid velocity, pressure, and temperature in advanced reactors, specifically high temperature gas-cooled reactors. Pronghorn is a coarse-mesh, ...
