Wellbore seismic and core sample measurement analysis: integrated geophysical study of the Lake Bosumtwi impact structure, Ghana
DownloadFall 2009
Wellbore seismic measurements were recorded in the Lake Bosumtwi impact structure, Ghana, in 2004. A full range of petrophysical measurements were also performed in the laboratory on core samples from the same boreholes. The Vertical Seismic Profile shows low velocities for both P and S waves in...

Reservoir and geomechanical coupled simulation of CO2 sequestration and enhanced coalbed methane recovery
DownloadFall 2009
Coalbeds are an extremely complicated porous medium with characteristics of heterogeneity, dual porosity and stress sensitivity. In the past decades great achievements have been made to the simulation models of pressure depletion coalbed methane (CBM) recovery process and CO2 sequestration and...

Miniaturized genetic analysis systems based on microelectronic and microfluidic technologies
DownloadFall 2010
Genetic analysis is not widely used for disease diagnostics as it is costly and very labour/infrastructure intensive. We believe that by employing both microelectronic and microfabrication technologies, we are able to integrate multiple functionalities into a single, manufacturable, inexpensive...

Fall 2010
Electro-transmittance of molecular junctions was characterized electrically and studied optically at 410nm and 532nm. Between 1kHz and 100kHz there was no qualitative difference between the control samples and the molecular junction samples, however there were difficulties with reproducibility of...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of mass transport in porous media of a PEM fuel cell
DownloadFall 2011
Porous media is an integral part of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC) electrodes. In this study, an experimental setup is presented to investigate convective and diffusive mass transport in porous media of fuel cell electrodes. A new theoretical model was developed in order to correct for...

Fall 2011
This work describes the development of a planar moving flexible valve in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with integrated optics components on a microfluidic device. Applying a positive pressure to a side channel, the fluid inside deforms the flexible PDMS which then redirects the flow in a main...

Molecular separations using nanostructured porous thin films fabricated by glancing angle deposition
DownloadSpring 2011
Biomolecular separation techniques are an enabling technology that indirectly influence many aspects of our lives. Advances have led to faster analyses, reduced costs, higher specificity, and new analytical techniques, impacting areas such as health care, environmental monitoring, polymer...
