Development of Phage/Antibody Immobilized Magnetostrictive Biosensors
(2010-05-03)
There is an urgent need for biosensors that are able to detect and quantify the presence of a small amount of pathogens in a real-time manner accurately and quickly to guide prevention efforts and assay food and water ...
Development of MEMS Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters
(2010-05-06)
The research of powering devices in a microwatt range has been activated and developed by the emergence of low-power Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology in the past few years. The powering devices require a size ...
Substrate Effect, Pile-Up and Sink-In Factors During Thin Film Nanoindentation
(2011-08-19)
Theoretical and experimental models continue to be developed for thin-film nanoindentation that attempt to account for substrate effects in differing film-substrate combinations. While many models have been developed to ...
Evaluation and Analysis of Commercially Available Electrochemical Carbon Monoxide Sensors for Aircraft Applications
(2012-05-18)
Commercial airline flight in the United States of America is under the oversight of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which has set standards for the amount of harmful or unpleasant compounds onboard aircraft to ...
Development of a Laboratory Apparatus to Study the Thermal Degradation Behavior of Commercial Jet Engine Oils
(2012-01-12)
Air quality on airplanes is a key priority of the Federal Aviation Association (FAA). It is suspected that, although rare, oil leaks in the engine can potentially allow contaminants into the air supply that is provided to ...
Microstructure – Mechanical Property Relationships in Transient Liquid Phase Bonded Nickel-Based Superalloys and Iron-based ODS Alloys
(2008-09-09)
The research work presented here discusses the microstructure-mechanical property relationships in wide gap transient liquid phase (TLP) bonds, between the single crystal nickel-base superalloy CMSX-4 and two polycrystalline ...
Effect of Silver nanoparticles on tomato plants and Development of a Plant Monitoring System (PMS)
(2008-09-09)
Smart Agriculture will determine whether farmers in the US can compete internationally. Engineering plays a significant role in Smart Agriculture through the development of sensor networks, data acquisition, and control ...
Chemical Sensing Employing pH Sensitive Emeraldine Base Thin Film for Carbon Dioxide Detection
(2008-09-09)
Respiration, or CO2 evolution, is a universal indicator for all the biological activities. Among many potential applications, the measurement of CO2 evolution has been found to be a rapid and nondestructive means for ...
Real-Time, in-situ Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria on Food Surfaces Using a Surface-Scanning Coil Detector and Phage-Based Magnetoelastic Biosensors
(2014-04-23)
This research uses wireless magnetoelastic (ME) biosensors combined with a surface-scanning coil detector for the direct, real-time detection of Salmonella Typhimurium on fresh food surfaces. The ME biosensor consists of ...
Assessing dose-response of antibiotics and monitoring degradation of RNA aptamer biosensor on microfluidic devices
(2013-11-15)
In the last century, the technologies developed to miniaturize transistors and manufacture microprocessors have enabled the miniaturization and integration of tools in biology, chemistry, biotechnology and medical fields. ...
