Thin film alloys and composites for application of hydrogen storage and oxygen reduction electrocatalysts
DownloadSpring 2015
This thesis encompasses aspects of alloy design, fabrication and characterization of thin films, which are employed as model systems to enhance hydrogen storage kinetics and thermodynamics in magnesium hydride and to enhance the catalytic efficacy and corrosion stability of platinum-based...

TiO2 Nanotube Arrays with Engineered Geometries: Growth, Characterization and Study of Selected Interfaces
DownloadSpring 2016
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a wide band gap, robust, n-type semiconductor whose transformation into vertically-oriented nanotube arrays makes them suitable electron percolation pathways for vectorial charge transfer togerther with high surface area. Growth of self-organized TiO2 nanotube arrays as...

Tools and Methodologies for The Rapid Determination and Transfer of Thermodynamic Parameters used in the Prediction of Gas Chromatographic and Two Dimensional Comprehensive Gas Chromatographic Retention Times
DownloadFall 2014
Three parameter thermodynamic predictive models have been shown previously to provide superior accuracy in the prediction of gas chromatographic retention times in comparison to other forms of modelling such as retention indices. However, these models suffer from the need for extensive...

Unsaturated Flow Model
2019-06-06
Xiaochuan Tony Zheng, Tony Zheng
The un-saturated flow sub-model is based on a previously developed infiltration-drainage model. This research improves the original model by adding capabilities of handling dynamic boundary conditions and inter-layer overflow mechanisms. Additional validation cases are conducted to build...

Use of Type I DNA markers for initial genetic characterization of two Portuguese swine breeds.
Download2003
Zhang, Y., Ramos, A.M., Cardoso, A., Gouveia, S., Rothschild, M.F., Mestre, R., Plastow, G. , Rangel-Figueiredo, T., Evans, G.
In order to be effective, strategies for conservation and improvement of local pig breeds must ideally include both the phenotypic and genetic characterization of those breeds. In this study, phenotypic information was collected for individuals from the Portuguese pig breeds, Alentejano and...

Validation and Testing of a Numerical Model for the Design and Up-Scaling of Low Temperature Difference Stirling Engines
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis presents the experimental validation, testing and review of a numerical model for low temperature difference Stirling engines (LTDSEs). The research of LTDSEs is motivated by the potential use of low temperature heat as an unconventional sustainable energy source. An experimental...
