Resistive switching in metal-insulator-metal devices is promising as an alternative to flash memory. The change in resistance from insulating to conducting and back again is theoretically caused by the formation and partial ...
-
Numerous experimental methods are available to predict the hazards associated with thermal runaway (TR) and subsequent catastrophic failure of lithium-ion batteries (LIB), but these methods are time-intensive and costly. ...
-
(2021-04-28)The sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has been a major barrier for advancing green hydrogen production from water splitting. Whilst the overwhelming majority of work has been devoted towards buffered pure water ...
-
Energy consumption has become directly associated with buildings. According to the United Nations, it is estimated that buildings contribute by 30-40% of the worldwide energy consumption. The consumption of energy has ...
-
(2013-02-27)Obesity and the metabolic diseases associated with it, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, are areas of major concern in the USA. Obesity is associated with low grade inflammation in adipose tissue; therefore, ...
-
(2014-09-26)Our goal was to research and implement a countercurrent system to run enzymatic saccharification of biomass. The project provided clear results to show that this method is more efficient than the batch process that companies ...
-
(2012-07-11)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD is characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver, also known as steatosis. This is one of the most common types of liver diseases and can occur in a range of individuals. ...
-
(2018-04-26)When exposed to an electromagnetic field, the heat generated by CNTs is proportional to the power of the field and the concentration of CNTs exposed. Additionally, the field’s frequency, the sample geometry, heat transfer ...
-
(2012-05-03)Currently, measles (also known as English measles) is detrimentally affecting the youth of the developing world. The shortage of vaccines and the devastating consequences of measles yield disturbing consequences globally. ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2014-08-15)Under obese stress, adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) undergo a phenotypic switch from anti-inflammatory status (M2) to proinflammatory (M1) status, a major contributor to the development of chronic tissue inflammation and ...
-
(2013-02-27)ABSTRACT Modeling Catalyzed Growth of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes. (May 2013) Jenni M. Beetge Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering Texas A&M University Research Advisor: Dr. Perla B. Balbuena Artie ...
-
(2012-04-20)A protease-free, column-free protein purification technology was developed through a combination of an engineered thio-responsive split-intein and a stimulus-responsive elastin-like polypeptide (ELP). The DnaE split intein ...
-
(2018-05-01)Nanocomposites have many useful and functional properties, yet additive manufacturing has only recently begun to take advantage of many of these properties. This work details a nanomaterial ink coati ng method for 3D printer ...
-
(2019-04-23)For multi-lamp high flux solar simulators (HFSS), it is often difficult to obtain a required flux distribution by manipulating the lamp position of multiple lamps at once. Each lamp has three degree of freedom. Thus manual ...
-
Recently, there has been renewed interest in the use of solar energy as a resource to meet the world’s energy needs in an environmentally sustainable way. Hence, our research focuses on the generation of hydrogen from ...
-
(2013-02-04)Recent breakthroughs in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology have made huge reservoirs of previously untapped shale gas and shale oil formations available for use. These new resources have already made ...
-
A thorough understanding of the process bacterial pathogens use to infect host cells is an important factor in developing an antimicrobial that will provide efficient and effective defense against such infection. The first ...
-
(2012-04-12)Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations (GCMC) are used to examine the adsorption isotherms of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are used to determine ...
-
(2014-09-21)In recent years, the growth of technology has caused the world energy consumption to skyrocket due to an increase in demand and an increase in available energy. Small renewable energy systems are often targeted for developing ...
