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...

Introduction of a binding or reacting liquid into a gas-solid fluidized bed is common in industrial processes (e.g. fluid coking, catalytic cracking, granulation). Ability of the liquid to spread and the attractive effect on particles due to liquid bridge formation alter the fluidization behavior...

Protein folding involves a stochastic search through the configurational energy landscape towards the native structure. Although most proteins have evolved to fold efficiently into a unique native structure, misfolding (the formation of non-native structures) occurs frequently in vivo causing a...

Most crude oils contain traces of vanadyl porphyrins within their asphaltene fraction. Although these metals are only present in trace quantities, they have a significant detrimental impact on crude oil processing units; therefore, their selective removal is highly desirable. The current work...

Although area, species abundances, spatial distribution, and species richness have been central components of community ecology, their interrelationships are not completely understood. To describe these interrelationships, we study and test three patterns regarding species richness using...

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...

Solubility of glucose and lactose in subcritical water (SCW) was first determined at different pressures and temperatures. Sugar solubility increased with temperature but decreased with an increase in pressure. Then, carbohydrates and phenolics were extracted from lentil husk and cotyledon using...
