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 ... -
Prioritization of Potential Targets in a Massive Multiplex CRISPR Screen
Govande, Mukul ( 2021-05 )Hematologic cancers, broadly categorized as leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas, are diagnosed in 3.3 million people globally and account for 10% of new cancer cases in the U.S. every year. In the last decade, newer treatments ... -
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 ... -
Protein Particle Formation for Pulmonary Delivery
Ensign, Laura ( 2007-08 )Recently, there has been an increased focus on inhalation therapies in drug delivery research. It has been proven that many medications and vaccines can be inhaled in particle form, which has certain advantages. Respiratory ... -
Protein Purification Techniques Using the Intein Self-Cleaving Model
Zierden, Hannah ( 2015-05 )A central step in the production of high purity recombinant proteins is their separation and purification. Recombinant proteins are expressed in host cells from which they are collected and purified. Purification is ... -
Proton Cancer Therapy: Using Laser Accelerate Protons for Radiation Therapy
Kelly, Danielle K. ( 2012-06 )High intensity lasers have been shown to accelerate protons to high energies. These protons are energetic enough to be used in treating cancers and tumors up to three centimeters deep. Protons are advantageous to use ... -
Quantification and Analysis of Carbon Deposition on Catalytic Oxygen Carriers for the Oxidative Coupling of Methane
Ikeda, Kevin ( 2017-05 )The current commercial method of obtaining ethylene, a highly valuable product, through steam cracking is highly process and energy intensive. An alternative way to obtain ethylene is through the direct conversion of natural ... -
Quantification and Visualization of Fungal Degradation of Polyurethane Foam in Homes
Campbell, Iona ( 2020-05 )People spend 90% of their time in the indoor environment including homes. Homes contain many exposures that can cause harm to human health, and one harmful exposure potentially comes from the degradation of polyurethanes. ... -
Quantification of Apohemoglobin
Pires, Ivan ( 2019-05 )Apohemoglobin (apoHb) is produced by removing heme from hemoglobin (Hb). Unfortunately, preparations of apoHb may contain damaged globins, which render total protein assays inaccurate for active apoHb quantification. ... -
Quantification of Brake Disc Runout Due to Assembly and Manufacturing Variations
Samodelov, Valentina ( 2010-06 )Brake disc runout, which is defined as a variation in the distance of a brake surface to a reference plane, is a key contributor to torque variations. Runout also leads to disk thickness variation by inducing uneven wear ... -
