Shin, Young J. (2010-07-14)An amperometric glucose biosensor was fabricated using electospun polyaniline fibers. Polyaniline was reacted with camphorsulfonic acid to produce a salt, which was then dissolved in chloroform containing polystyrene. Using ...
-
Kish, Lazar Laszlo (2013-03-24)Microencapsulation of cells is a technique in which cells are enclosed in microscopic spheroids of a desired substance, with applications in many fields, such as biomedical engineering. In this study, a microfluidic approach ...
-
Chien, Chia-Hung (2017-12-08)This thesis presents a method of applying “Shape Memory Alloy” (SMA) on an overtopping wave energy converter (OWEC). A control system which can fit all sea states is necessary for OWEC to adapt to a mutative wave condition ...
-
Ravikirthi, Pradhyumna (2014-08-10)This work deals with Au-free contact metallization schemes for gallium nitride (GaN) and graphene semiconductors. Graphene and gallium nitride are promising materials that can potentially be integrated together in the near ...
-
Pendelton, Alice Mae (2009-05-15)This research investigated biofluid lubrication related to artificial joints using tribological and rheological approaches. Biofluids studied here represent two categories of fluids, base fluids and nanostructured biofluids. ...
-
Sears, Candice Marie (2019-04-15)Extracellular matrix (hMatrix) derived from osteogenically enhanced mesenchymal stem cells (OEhMSCs) can be deposited onto scaffolds in a process referred to as “bioconditioning”. While bioconditioned gelatin scaffolds ...
-
Chen, Eugene D. (2020-04-09)The dust soiling on the photovoltaic panels has been an important issue due to the rapid growth of solar energy as a major source for electricity production. More and more establishment of utility-scale solar farms further ...
-
Song, Jiaao (2022-01-25)A cold resistor is a device/circuitry/system emulating an active resistor which has lower effective noise temperature than the temperature of its environment. This dissertation contains three main studies of the cold ...
-
Shao, Yiru (2019-12-09)Chlorinated solvents have been widely used in various industrial process. The wide applications and improperly disposed has resulted in groundwater and soil contaminated with these compounds. In contaminated groundwater, ...
-
Conductance states of molecular junctions for encoding binary information: a computational approach Agapito, Luis Alberto (2009-06-02)Electronic devices, for logical and memory applications, are constructed based on bistable electronic units that can store binary information. Molecular electronics proposes the use of single molecules—with two distinctive ...
-
Huang, Po-Jung (2017-11-29)Small volume, high surface area and protective fibulas scaffold of collagen modular microenvironment improves cell viability and proliferation. Therefore, the ability to produce collagen modular microenvironment accurately ...
-
Chiang, Juei-Chun (2009-05-15)To allow electronic devices to operate within allowable temperatures, heat sinks and fans are employed to cool down computer chips. However, cooling performance is limited by air gaps between the computer chip and the heat ...
-
Wang, Miao (2010-10-12)Nanochannel devices have been explored over the years with wide applications in bio/chemical analysis. With a dimension comparable to many bio-samples, such as proteins, viruses and DNA, nanochannels can be used as a ...
-
Wisniowiecki, Anna Marie (2018-08-17)Blood-based diagnostic tests have become a widespread paradigm for clinical disease diagnosis. Such tests are designed to detect small molecules in blood, which are indicative of a particular disease. Current blood-based ...
-
Dogbevi, Kokou Serge (2020-10-26)Malaria remains one of the deadliest diseases of the 21st Century, with 405,000 deaths annually. The visualization of stained blood smears with white light microscopy is still the gold standard for a proper diagnosis. Due ...
-
Walton, Brian M. (2017-08-02)Citrulline has shown potential as a biomarker. It can be used for a number of clinical applications including diagnosis in the clinic, as a research tool, to accurately indicate the amount of radiation absorbed by the body, ...
