Engineering Comfort for Micro-resolution Mosquito Bite Blocking Textiles
(2023-04-24)
Over a million people die yearly from diseases spread by biting insects, especially mosquitos. Pesticides are currently used to control harmful insect populations although there are often negative side effects from pesticides. ...
Engineering phonon polaritons in van der Waals materials
(2023-08-10)
Light trapped at the nanoscale, deep below the optical wavelength, exhibits an increase in the associated electric field strength, which results in enhanced light-matter interaction. Such hybrid light-matter modes involve ...
Engineering Polymer Networks for Enhanced Loading and Extended Release of Therapeutics via Molecular Imprinting
(2013-12-10)
Conventional topical ocular therapies such as eye drops and ointments are the current “go to” therapy, and account for over 90% of the market. However, topical drug delivery results in very low drug bioavailability, ranging ...
Engineering Standards and Ethics in Automated Biometrics
(2021-04-14)
This work explores a two-part question: (1) what are the most recent engineering standards that govern AI development and implementation in the field of biometrics and (2) what ethical implications do they have for society? ...
Engineering Word Overlap to Enhance Specific Fluency Gains Over Repeated Readings
(2020-07-15)
This study explored the effects of repeated readings with and without word overlap (repeated content words across readings) to test the centrality of word-reading automaticity in fluency. Participants worked in both ...
English Seventeenth Century Colonial Expansion as a Form of Rent-Seeking
(2007-12-15)
The central purpose of this dissertation is to apply a rent-seeking analysis to seventeenth century colonial policies in England. The dissertation is an extension of the rent-seeking model which Robert Ekelund and Robert ...
Enhanced Heat Transfer Catalyst Structures for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
(2012-01-10)
Highly exothermic catalytic reactions are problematic from a thermal management perspective and often dictate the type of reactor, heat exchanger, level of conversion/recycle and contacting schemes employed. Those reactions, ...

(2023-12-06)
With In-situ testing dating back to 1996, the Auburn University National Geotechnical Experimentation Site (AUNGES), located in the Piedmont geological region, manages a comprehensive Cone Penetration Test (CPT) database. ...
Enhanced Polymer Passivation Layer for Wafer Level Chip Scale Package
(2011-12-05)
Wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP) have been used in many consumer products, and thus they are competitive in cost, size, yield, and technology. For advanced WLCSP, solder joint reliability is a major concern. ...
Enhanced Secondary Bus Microarchitecture
(2011-08-04)
In spite of advances to improving cache efficiency, memory access bottlenecks still prevent processors from executing at full speed. This research evaluates a fundamentally new concept of using a secondary bus, connecting ...
Enhanced Thermal Conductivity and Expedited Freezing of Nanoparticle Suspensions Utilized as Novel Phase Change Materials
(2011-07-27)
In this dissertation, enhanced thermal conductivity and expedited freezing of nanoparticle suspensions used as novel phase change materials (PCM), referred to as nano-enhanced PCM (NePCM), were investigated using analytic, ...
Enhanced Visual Navigation for Mobile Robots
(2014-05-02)
Navigation solely by vision has been a goal in robotics for many years. It is desirable for a robot to plan and navigate the same way we do naturally as humans; however computation speed, changing illumination, complex ...
