Development of Cathode Air Filters for PEM Fuel Cells Using Microfibrous Entrapped Sorbents
(2013-11-25)
The performance of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is degraded significantly as a result of poisoning of the cathode catalyst by trace levels of contaminants present in the cathode air. Three of the most common ...
Development of CaZrO3-Based Hydrogen Sensors with Oxide Reference Electrodes for Molten Aluminum
(2006-12-15)
Hydrogen is a major cause of gas porosity in aluminum and is frequently removed from the melt prior to casting. The degassing process can be better controlled if the hydrogen content in the melt is known. Thus, gas sensors ...
Development of composite beam theory and its application in composite and prestressed concrete structures
(2016-05-13)
For some complex structural engineering problems like behavior of sandwich structures and prestressed concrete structures, extensive experimental works and finite element analyses might not be able to help understand the ...
Development of computational approaches for the design of antibodies and other binding proteins for target epitopes
(2022-07-26)

Development of conducting polymer-based composites for flexible gas sensor devices
(2023-11-10)
In the realm of gas sensing technologies, there has been a remarkable upswing in demand for sensors that are not only flexible and wearable but also versatile, able to monitor a variety of environmental markers from pollutant ...
Development of Crash Modification Factor for Low-cost Median Opening Treatments at Unsignalized Intersections of Rural Divided Highways
(2022-12-09)
An effective access management technique is such that it has the lowest level of access
control to balance traffic operation and safety. Increasing the level of control can increase the
overall delay. On the other hand, ...
