Seal strength models for medical device trays
(2009-05-15)
Seven empirical equations were developed for the prediction of seal strength for medical device
trays. A new methodology was developed and used for identifying burst and peel locations and comparing
burst pressure and peel ...
Extracting Biological Knowledge from High Throughput Phenotypic Screens
(2018-07-16)
High throughput drug screening has greatly progressed drug discovery for diseases such as cancer. Specifically, the introduction of the automated microscope in high throughput drug screening has facilitated the acquisition ...
In Vivo Models to Investigate Mechanisms of Rare Bone Pathologies and Therapeutic Treatment
(2018-08-28)
Genetic disorders associated with skeletal disease are extremely complex and vary greatly in their clinical phenotypes. Thus, in vivo models that accurately recapitulate these rare bone pathologies are essential for ...
A Call for Revival: From Discourse of Renewal to Crisis Revival, a Crisis Management Approach for Brand Communities
(2018-08-03)
This dissertation project sought to explore and better explicate the ways in which discourse of renewal functions as a crisis communication strategy. While previous research conducted on discourse of renewal has focused ...
Resilience and Health-Related Quality of Life Following Discharge From a Level 1 Trauma Center
(2018-07-31)
Trauma can notably impact health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and result in psychiatric symptomology. There is a dearth of longitudinal research examining resilience as a predictor of HRQoL and depression outcomes ...
Using Flow Field-Flow Fractionation Coupled to Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry to Study the Physicochemical Speciation of Colloidal Iron in Seawater
(2018-08-07)
Iron is a critical micronutrient that marine phytoplankton need to perform photosynthesis that produces about half of the world’s oxygen. Colloidal iron (0.003-0.2 μm) comprises a significant portion of the oceanic ...
On the Comprehensive Optimization of the Process and Quality Control Framework in Portland Cement Production Testing Using QXRD-Based Accuracy Calibration
(2018-07-26)
The Bogue method is the current industrial standard for the compositional analysis of anhydrous and blended cements. However, this method is disadvantageous since the formulations were developed with archaic cement chemistry ...
An Investigation into Vehicle Acceleration Characteristics on Freeway Loop Ramps
(2019-01-10)
Freeway loop ramps are the most restrictive common interchange ramp design, with sharp curves and low design speeds. Drivers utilizing these ramps can be forced to accelerate rapidly on entry ramps or decelerate rapidly ...
Effects of Exogenous Progesterone During the Peri-Implantation Period of Pregnancy on Growth and Development of Ovine Conceptuses
(2018-08-06)
This study was conducted to confirm that exogenous P4 administered during the peri-implantation period (Days 1.5 to 8) advances conceptus growth, development, and implantation
to Day 12 of gestation. This study determined ...
The Association between Occlusion and Peri-Implant Condition around Single-Unit Dental Implants
(2016-04-05)
Background: There is controversy in regards to whether occlusion plays a role in the peri-implant condition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between occlusion and peri-implant condition around single-unit ...
