Development of a Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (QSAR) Model relating Solvent Structure to Ibuprofen Crystal Morphology using 2D and 3D Molecular Descriptors
(2013-07-10)
The objective of this thesis is to develop a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) that relates solvent structure to the morphology of ibuprofen crystals grown within that solvent. Morphology can be quantified ...
Development of a Rainwater Harvesting Model for Broiler Farms to Estimate On-farm Storage Needs
(2017-07-27)
Access to water is critical for poultry production and rainwater harvesting (RWH) may reduce reliance on low-yield and poor water quality wells or municipal (city or county) water supplies to supplement water consumption ...
Development of a Rapid Detection Method of Salmonella Spp. on Chicken Skin by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction
(2008-08-15)
Salmonella is a major contributor to food-borne illness with contaminated poultry
meat being recognized as a chief source of the infection. The handling of raw poultry has
been reported as one of the most frequent causes ...
Development of a Recombinant Noncytopathic Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Stably Expressing Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein
(2005-08-15)
Noncytopathic (NCP) type-I bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) strain SD1 was originally isolated from a persistently infected heifer with fatal mucosal disease (MD) and represents the only reported nucleotide sequence of ...
Development of a reduced order electrochemical and thermal model for Lithium battery with blended cathode
(2014-12-12)
Accurate and fast estimation of state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) during operations plays a pivotal role in prevention of overcharge or undercharge and accurately monitoring the state of cell degradation, ...
Development of a Single-Degree-of-Freedom Algorithm for the Analysis of Buried Composite Pipes Subjected to Internal Dynamic Pressure
(2011-12-05)
The overall objective of this research project was to develop a practical engineering methodology for the analysis of underground composite pipes subjected to internal dynamic loading. The need for this analytical methodology ...
Development of a Small-Scale Harvester for Biomass Operations
(2020-08-14)
The Oil Embargo of 1973-1974 that quadrupled the price of a barrel of oil in a matter of months sparked the discussions of alternative forms of energy; one of the topics that started to be addressed was renewable energies. ...
Development of A Software Architecture Method for Software Product Families and its Application to the AubieSat Satellite Program
(2009-11-13)
Software architecture methodologies are very useful in reusing software code from one product to another. In software product families, several similar products are developed by the same organization that share many features ...
Development of a Split Hopkinson Tension Bar for Testing Stress-Strain Response of Particulate Composites under High Rates of Loading
(2007-08-15)
Mechanical structures and their material constituents undergo an expansive range of
loading conditions. Specifically, the rate at which the loading takes place can vary from
being virtually static to being almost ...
