PHOTOCLEAVABLE QUANTUM DOT-GOLD NANOPARTICLE SYSTEMS FOR SUPER-RESOLUTION IMAGING
Kevlich, Nikita ( 2013-05 )The ability to directly see structures and observe biological processes below the 200 nm resolution limit of traditional optical imaging methods would enable substantial advances in biology. Super-resolution imaging ... -
Photodegradation of Metolachlor in Natural and Constructed Wetlands
Marron, Corin ( 2008-06 )Agricultural wetlands receive a variety of nutrients and synthetic organic contaminants (SOCs), such as pesticides, from agricultural activities. Constructed wetlands have been proposed as a cost-effective and sustainable ... -
Photoluminescence System for Detecting Sub-Bandgap Photon Emission in Silicon
Patton, Ryan J. ( 2015-12 )Electro-optical systems are essential for the next generation of communication networks. As photonic devices become smaller, one sees a future where microelectronic and optical technologies are completely integrated. This ... -
Photosensitive Drag Reducing Surfactant-Counterion Additives to Achieve Enhanced Heat Transfer in Recirculating Systems
Pattison, Sean ( 2012-06 )The use of additives in drag reducing (DR) fluid transport is a phenomenon that was discovered in 1931 by Forest and Grierson who observed a reduction in energy loss in turbulent transport of wood pulp fiber suspensions ... -
Postural Control Variation in the Single Leg Anterior Reach
Talarico, Maria ( 2013-05 )The single leg anterior reach (SLAR) is often used to assess dynamic postural control. However, the SLAR has yet to undergo a balance plate assessment of postural control that may yield information on the movement ... -
Poverty Management App and Hospital Text Platform
Wang, Shuai ( 2015-05 )There are two parts of this honors research: designing an Android App for managing daily finances to avoid poverty, and a text platform for patients who have left a hospital after being admitted for a suicide attempt. The ... -
Power Generation for Wearable Electronics: Designing Electrochemical Storage on Fabrics
Vilkhu, Ramandeep ( 2018-05 )We report a new class of textiles with electrochemical functions which, when moistened by a conductive liquid (saline solution, sweat, wound fluid, etc.), generate DC voltage and current levels capable of powering wearable ... -
Power Management for an Electrified Bus
Stanislovaitis, Christopher ( 2014-05 )Transit buses are the most important form of public transportation, and there is a continuing effort to make them more fuel efficient to reduce their economic and environmental footprint. One means of improving the fuel ... -
Power Train Development and Testing for a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powered Electric Hybrid Neighborhood Electric Vehicle
Marusiak, Jeffrey ( 2007-03 )Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs), also known as low speed vehicles, are a compact, efficient means of transportation for one to six passengers in urban settings. Fully road-worthy and street-legal vehicles, NEVs are ... -
Prediction of heat transfer for a film cooled flat plate using a computational fluid dynamics analysis
Schroeder, Timothy M. ( 2009-06 )It has become common practice within the gas turbine industry to simulate the flow of the primary air stream and cooling gas by using the numerical method associated with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). A variety of ... -
Price Signals in a Unit Commitment-Driven Market
Campbell, Ashlin ( 2011-06 )Electric power systems are made up of many generators, each with varying characteristics, including: minimum and maximum generating capacities, start up costs, and costs to run. An independent system operator uses ... -
Production of Shelf-Stable Hydrogel Microparticles using 25% kappa-carrageenan with 75% alginate for encapsulation of anthocyanins
Broseus, Amanda ( 2017-05 )The research results in the area of improving human health and wellness are in high demand for the food industry. Human beings are becoming more focused on healthy living through consumption of healthy foods and beneficial ... -
Progressive Collapse Analysis of an Existing Building
Giriunas, Kevin ( 2009-06 )This research study investigates an actual structure’s potential to fail due to progressive collapse. Progressive collapse in a structure occurs when major structural load carrying members are removed suddenly, and the ... -
Progressive Collapse Testing and Analysis of a Steel Building
Akah, Ebiji ( 2013-05 )This research investigates the progressive collapse vulnerability of an existing steel building, Haskett Hall, on the Ohio State University (OSU) campus. The building was tested by removing one of the first-story columns ... -
PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE: COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF BEAMS AND DETAILING
Morone, Daniel Justin ( 2010-06 )The term 'progressive collapse' can be simply defined as the ultimate failure or proportionately large failure of a portion of a structure due to the spread of a local failure from element to element throughout the ... -
Propagation Characteristics of Plasmonic Gap Waveguiding Structures
Hoffman, Galen ( 2007-06 )As devices in current microprocessors continue to scale to ever decreasing dimensions, the concurrent increase in the RC time constants drive the need for next generation interconnects that can propagate signals at higher ... -
Properties of Non-Uniform Electric Fields that Contribute to Partial Discharges
Otte, Ryan ( 2006-08 )Partial discharges (PD) can generally be described as electrical insulation breakdown that does not fully penetrate the insulating medium between two conductors. These electrical discharges commonly occur in small voids ... -
