Fall 2018
The goal of this thesis work was to develop an idealized adult nasal airway geometry capably of mimicking average regional nasal deposition of droplets emitted from pharmaceutical nasal sprays. The first part of this thesis examined regional deposition within the nose for nasal sprays over a...

Structural and Biochemical Changes in Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Seeds During Germination and Early-Seedling Growth. I. Storage Protein Reserves
Download1997
Abstract: Quantitative and qualitative changes in the storage proteins of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seeds were followed during germination and early-seedling growth and were correlated with light-microscopic observations. In both the megagametophyte and the embryo, the cells of tissues from...

Study of Enhanced Deposition due to Magnetic Field Alignment of Ellipsoid Particles Using Direct Numerical Simulations
DownloadFall 2012
A recent in vitro study demonstrated a non invasive method to enhance local deposition in a small airway by controlling the angular position of magnetic high aspect ratio particles. This technique could mitigate the challenge of providing sufficient therapeutic effects when using aerosolized...

Studying Structure-Nanoaggregation Relations of Polyaromatic Molecules in the Bulk Oil Phase and at the Oil-Water Interface Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
DownloadSpring 2014
The detection, identification and characterization of early stage molecular association of polyaromatic molecules into nanoaggregates, where these nanoaggregates represent the first level of molecular clusters or building blocks are critical in areas such as design and fabrication of advanced 3-D...

Spring 2010
Heterogeneity of surfaces is often included in mathematical treatments of colloid transport and deposition as an afterthought, if at all. Most previous models of colloid transport and deposition have employed idealizations and simplifications such as assuming smooth collector surfaces with...

Thermophysical Properties Measurement of Liquid Al and Al-Cu by the Discharge Crucible Method
DownloadFall 2020
The demand to develop Materials Genomics and Integrated Materials Computation requires the availability of high temperature property data of liquid metals. High temperature metallurgical processes, such as refining, casting, welding and additive manufacturing, can be optimized and operate more...

Tooth length measurement accuracy and reliability with cone-beam CT and panoramic radiography
DownloadSpring 2010
This study assessed the accuracy and reliability of tooth length measurements through axial, coronal and sagittal serial slices of CBCT volumes; conventional panoramic radiographs; and CBCT panoramic reconstructions to that of a digital caliper gold standard. Samples consisted of maxillary...

Toward Modern Inhalational Bacteriophage Therapy: Nebulization of Bacteriophages of Burkholderia cepacia Complex
Download2008
Dennis, Jonathan J., Finlay, Warren H., Golshani, Laleh, Seed, Kimberley D.
Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections have renewed interest in finding substitute methods of treatment. The purpose of the present in vitro study was to investigate the possibility of respiratory delivery of a Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) bacteriophage by nebulized aerosol...

Spring 2011
Most current models for the deposition of aerosol particles in the human lung are based on a Lagrangian reference frame, which is ill-suited for modeling transient eects. Deposition models based on an Eulerian reference frame are much better at capturing instantaneous time-dependent eects, though...
