Emergent Transport in Ion Exchange Membranes
(2021-12-01)
The ion exchange membrane (IEM) is a crucial part of various applications from water purification (i.e. electrodialysis) to energy conversion (i.e. photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction cells (PEC-CRC) and direct urea fuel ...
Study of chemically reactive surfaces of TiO2 and Ag/TiO2 for adsorptive desulfurization of liquid fuels and photocatalysis applications
(2021-12-02)
The first part of this study focuses on the mechanisms study of UV photo-induced adsorptive desulfurization of liquid model fuels on anatase TiO2 adsorbents. Previous studies showed UV irradiation during or prior to the ...
Encapsulation of Equine Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Injectable PEG-Fibrinogen Microspheres for Local Cell Delivery
(2021-12-06)
Musculoskeletal injuries are a predominant cause of morbidity and lameness in horses. These include fractures, osteoarthritis, chronic wounds, and tendon and ligament injuries. Due to their regenerative potential and ...
Design and Optimization of a Continuous Bioreactor for Enhanced Cell Production
(2022-05-02)
This research investigated a novel continuous bioreactor which can be operated both in batch and chemostat modes. The bioreactor showed significant improvement in cell growth due to addition of a spiroid which increased ...
Building a Sustainable Future through the Material design of 3D Printed Polymer Materials
(2022-05-05)
3D printing technologies are coming to the forefront of scientific, industrial, and public attention as it allows customized manufacturing of complex parts with a high degree of control over design, processing parameters, ...
Studying the Effects of Mutations on the Structures and Binding of Therapeutic Proteins Towards Improving the Engineering of Protein Functions
(2022-05-03)
The high effectiveness of proteins in biological systems is a result of their mutational histories. A single amino acid substitution, the most frequent of changes in proteins, can alter their physiochemical properties and ...
Mechanical and chemical activation of CaO-based sorbents for post-combustion CO2 capture at high temperature
(2022-05-02)
The Calcium Looping (CaL) process is one of the most efficient technology for post-combustion CO2 capture. The raw material for CO2 adsorption is CaO which can be derived from limestone. The abundance and high capacity of ...
Investigating the effect of substrate properties on attached algal cultivation
(2022-05-04)
There is growing interest in attached algae cultivation systems because they could provide a more cost and energy-efficient alternative to suspended (planktonic) microalgae cultivation systems for many applications. However, ...
A Novel Approach to Building Surrogate Models of Stochastic Simulations
(2022-07-28)
High-fidelity simulations represent the processes and phenomena in a detailed manner. However, they are generally computationally expensive to evaluate for optimization and sensitivity analysis applications. Additionally, ...
From Data to Decisions: Development of Surrogate Models for Process Optimization
(2022-07-27)
Surrogate models are used to map input data to output data when the actual relationship between the two is unknown or computationally expensive to evaluate (Han & Zhang, 2012). Surrogate models can also be constructed for ...
