All-Carbon Molecular Electronics: From Flexible Fabrication to Multi-Step Transport and Molecular Optoelectronics
DownloadSpring 2018
The central idea of molecular electronics is to incorporate individual or ensemble molecules into the electronic circuit units in the hope of creating miniaturized functional devices with unique properties. This dissertation aims to present my efforts to pursue this ultimate goal, covering the...

When a photon experiences a change in momentum of any form, be it being absorbed or reflected from a surface, the photon will exert a force upon that material. This force is called the radiation pressure force. One way that we can harness this radiation pressure force is to couple optical and...

Development of an optical biosensor based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometry for detection of Listeria monocytogenes
DownloadFall 2013
Label-free optical biosensors are widely used for the detection of pathogens due to their low-cost, real-time detection and high sensitivity. A Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) based biosensor has been developed for the detection of gram-positive bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes. An extensive...

Enhancing Activity-on-Node Network Diagramming Technique for Modeling Interdependent Workflows in Planning Fabrication Projects
DownloadFall 2022
Fabrication operations produce made-to-order structural components (such steel elements or precast concrete) for multiple construction projects, which require crews to repeat their work at a number of workstations or locations in a special manufacturing facility. Scheduling these interdependent...

On a perfect hydrogen-terminated Si(100)-2x1 surface, each surface silicon atom is capped with exactly one atom of hydrogen. When one of the capping hydrogen atoms is removed, the now unsatisfied orbital of the underlying silicon atom is exposed at that site. This site is better known as a...

Fabrication, modeling and experimental study of bending deformation of micro-ferrogel fibers in a non-uniform magnetic field
DownloadFall 2009
Hydrogel smart polymers have achieved a great attention in the research area of drug delivery, MEMS/NEMS, microfluidics and sensor design because of their responsiveness to various environmental stimuli- pH, temperature, light, electric field, enzyme etc. This thesis presents the modeling,...

Ichnology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and trace fossil-permeability relationships in the Upper Cretaceous Medicine Hat Member, Medicine Hat gas field, southeast Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2010
The Upper Cretaceous Medicine Hat Member (Niobrara Formation) in western Canada contains abundant reserves of biogenic natural gas. In the Medicine Hat gas field area of southeast Alberta, nineteen cored intervals were examined and classified based on primary physical and biogenic sedimentary...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by progressive destruction of articular cartilage, subchondral bone sclerosis, and osteophyte formation. Currently there is no disease modifying drug for treatment of OA. Usually OA is not diagnosed until the advanced stages, where palliative treatment is the...

The history of free and open source software (FOSS) spans the better part of 20 years. We are now seeing the principles of FOSS spread to different media - including, notably, to hardware and its distribution models. Recently, the term open source hardware (OSHW) was defined at the 2011 open...
