(2023-07-18)
This thesis has been redacted.
Development of Enzyme-based Biosensors for the Detection of Organophosphate Neurotoxins
(2008-12-15)
Elevated concerns of ecological safety and environmental pollution have
facilitated massive research in the area of chemical and biological agent detection. Large
numbers of anthropogenic chemicals were introduced in the ...
Development of Fertilizer Recommendations for Native Biofuel Crops and Nutrient Release from Cattle Feces
(2010-11-10)
Plant biomass is a viable raw material for renewable energy production. The use of perennial grasses is a possible option, however information on their nutrient management in the southeastern U.S. is deficient. The ...
Development of Flexible Pavement Rut Prediction Models from the NCAT Test Track Structural Study Sections Data
(2007-08-15)
This research study was attempted to address two of the most important aspects of mechanistic-empirical (M-E) pavement design. As M-E design continues to advance toward full implementation by state agencies, there is a ...
Development of functional capacity and bactericidal activity in myeloid cells during GM-CSF driven differentiation
(2018-07-18)
Dendritic cells (DC) form an interface between the innate and adaptive immune systems. DC respond to infection or inflammatory signals by orchestrating other immune cells to perform protective functions. These include ...
Development of Functional Interfaces for Sensing Applications
(2012-11-15)
An electrochemical device has been developed for the detection of gaseous tricresyl phosphate (TCP). Monitoring of neurotoxic TCP is important since it has been widely used as an additive in commercial jet engine oils, ...
Development of Functional Material Scaffolds for Sensing Applications
(2010-01-05)
