Synthesis and Characterization of Bioactive PANI-PAMPSA Nanoparticles Dispersed in Poly(HEMA)-based Hydrogels
(2017-05-03)
The distribution of water within and its relation to the electrical impedance of electroconductive hydrogels (ECH) is of interest in developing stimuli-responsive hydrogel membranes for in-dwelling biomedical sensors. ...
Prediction of Material Removal Rate in Die-Sinking Electrical Discharge Machining
(2017-05-02)
This project proposes a new model for material removal rate (MRR) of conductive materials using die-sinking electrical discharge machining (EDM). Five different engineering materials were used in this study. Small holes ...
Experimental Studies Towards Understanding the Aeromechanics of a Flexible Robotic Hummingbird Wing in Hover
(2017-04-25)
This study investigated the aeroelastic mechanics of a flexible flapping wing designed and implemented on a two-winged, flapping wing, robotic hummingbird capable of hovering. The investigation focused first on measuring ...
The Genomes of Bacteriophages NY12 and Sauron
(2014-09-22)
Burkholderia cenocepacia is one of seventeen opportunistic pathogens that form the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc). In the clinical environment, Bcc species are especially problematic due to their resistance to many ...
High-Throughput Microfluidic Acoustic System to Generate Yeast Cells for Aging Studies
(2013-09-25)
The mechanisms and causes of aging, the greatest risk factor of disease, are poorly understood. For aging at the single-cell level, this lack of knowledge results from limitations in the methods traditionally used in cell ...
Dynamic Multi-Factor Security
(2014-09-12)
This thesis identifies the current limitations of electronic remote authentication systems and presents a new remote authentication system that addresses these limitations. Examples of these limitations can be easily ...
Evaluating the Potential Antihyperalgesic Effects of Curcumin on a Laboratory Model of Neuropathic Pain
(2013-12-12)
Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative, herbal supplement that has been utilized in the animal model to evaluate its potential for anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects among other benefits. This ...
Dendroclimatic Relationship of Sampling Mountain Birch
(2015-09-27)
Arctic treelines have been used as global indicators of climate change. Study has shown that terrestrial vegetation has migrated up-and-down mountain sides throughout the Holocene. Mountain birch (Betula pubescens ...
The Effects of Tryptophan Metabolites on Virulence of Salmonella Typhimurium
(2014-12-10)
Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen that invades the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract from the intestinal lumen by targeting intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). It is able to breach the protective IEC barrier with the aid ...
A study on the chemical and physical inactivation of Avian bornavirus
(2013-09-26)
Avian bornavirus (ABV) is the etiological agent of Proventricular Dilatation Disease, a fatal neurological disease of pet and aviary kept Psittacine birds (parrots). ABV is believed to be transmitted through the fecal-oral ...
