A Novel Class of Halite Scale Inhibitors: A Systematic Study
(2021-12-08)
Halite (NaCl) scaling complicates oil and gas production from many reservoirs worldwide because of its facile and fast precipitation in well tubulars or near-wellbore areas. Current industry approaches to remove halite ...
Quality-centric Authentication of Additively Manufactured Parts through Voronoi-based Error Exaggeration
(2021-11-29)
Additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping is continuously gaining popularity within and outside the research community. Due to its growing applications and technical and economical advantages over conventional machining, ...
Development of a Hybrid Model and Optimal Control Algorithm for a Full-Scale Bio-Fermentation Process
(2021-11-30)
Bio-fermentation process is difficult to model given its use of living micro-organisms to produce useful products via complex reaction mechanisms. Their kinetics are hard to characterize; hence, approximate formulations ...
From Tuberculosis Diagnostics to Therapy: Development of a Tail Fiber Protein-Derived Microfluidic Diagnostic Device and Utilization of Synergistic Properties of Antimycobacterial Drugs
(2021-12-09)
Tuberculosis, the disease caused by the mycobacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has been, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world’s deadliest infectious disease. The illness has been afflicting humans for ...
Evaluation of the Effects of Printing Parameters and New Bioink Composition on Green Bioprinted Constructs
(2021-12-01)
Bioprinting is an additive manufacturing process capable of fabricating bioprinted constructs containing cells via layer-by-layer deposition of bioink. Bioink contains the cells using during bioprinting, and may contain ...
VOF with Center of Mass and Lagrangian Particles (VCLP) - A Surface Tracking and Advection Method for Fluids
(2021-12-07)
This dissertation presents a novel surface tracking, and advection algorithm for incompressible fluid flows in two and three dimensions. This method based on the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method, is named VOF-with-center-of- ...
Heavy Ion Beam Diameter Reduction for Single Event Effects Testing of Semiconductor Devices
(2021-12-10)
Single Event Effects (SEE’s) are a common phenomenon in high-altitude semiconductors applications. SEE’s are primarily caused by a single ionizing particle, in this case, a heavy-ion striking a single transistor within the ...

(2021-12-08)
The semiconductor industry is engaged in a process of innovation for space applications.
Trends in space exploration and satellite technology are driving requirements for processing
power higher and constraints for integrated ...
3D Printing-Based Manufacturing Method for Biomass-Fungi Composites
(2022-01-04)
Biomass-fungi composites represent a sustainable material with applications in the construction and packaging industries. Currently, molding is used to manufacture biomass-fungi composite products. 3D printing of these ...
Developing a Three-Dimensional (3D) Bioprinted Tumor Model
(2021-12-02)
High phenotypic heterogeneity in tumor cell population, especially with glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), is one of the major causes of poor prognosis of malignant glioblastoma (GBM). Although in vivo drug screening using ...
