Characterization and applications of microfluidic devices based on immobilized biomaterials
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Microfluidic biosensors and bioreactors based on
immobilized biomaterials are described in this dissertation.
Photocrosslinkable hydrogel or polymeric microbeads
were used as a supporting matrix for immobilizing E.coli ...

(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The purpose of this study was to determine faculty perceptions about factors
impacting the adoption and diffusion of Web-Based Educational Technologies (WBETs)
at the University of Cape Coast and the University of Ghana, ...
Marble Transport in the Time of the Severans: A New Analysis of the Punta Scifo a Shipwreck at Croton, Italy
(2009-05-15)
Five ancient shipwrecks have been found in the sea off Croton, in southern Italy,
each carrying a marble cargo composed of massive blocks, column shafts, and smaller
artifacts. Three of them were located while surveying ...
Balancing human and system visualization during document triage
(2009-05-15)
People must frequently sort through and identify relevant materials from a large
set of documents. Document triage is a specific form of information collecting where
people quickly evaluate a large set of documents from ...
Reactor power history from fission product signatures
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this research was to identify fission product signatures that could be used to uniquely identify a specific spent fuel assembly in order to improve international safeguards. This capability would help prevent ...
Adaptive control for Mars atmospheric flight
(2009-05-15)
The new vision for space exploration will focus on sending humans to the moon and eventually to Mars. This endeavor presents new challenges that are critically different from the past experience with robotic missions to ...
Evaluation of oocyte competency in bovine and canine species via non-invasive assessment of oocyte quality
(2009-05-15)
Traditional methods of oocyte selection for in vitro studies have proven inefficient with respect to achieving a level of predictability for competency. In this study, a novel method of oocyte selection was implemented ...
Surface spectroscopic studies of mono- and bimetallic model catalysts
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation is focused on understanding heterogeneous bimetallic
catalysts using model catalyst systems, such as Pd-Au/Mo(110), Pd/Au(111) and
Pd/Au(100). Monometallic and bimetallic model catalysts, composed of Pd ...
Development of a Pre-Screening Methodology to Aid in Determining Potential Energy Savings in Commercial Building
(2009-05-15)
This thesis presents a methodology developed to aid in the determination of
potential sources and the potential scale of energy savings in commercial buildings. As
a pre-screening tool, the methodology is designed to ...
Two linear slot nozzle virtual impactors for concentration of bioaerosols
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Two experimental configurations of linear slot nozzle virtual impactors were
constructed and experimentally investigated for use as bioaerosol concentrators. In one
configuration, the Linear Slot Virtual Impactor (LSVI), ...
