Slurries of four particle types in water were tested in a 75 mm diameter pipeline loop. The particles were chosen in order to study the effects of particle density and size on the kinematic component of slurry friction losses. Experiments where pressure loss was measured as a function of...

Particle settling in emulsions is encountered in a number of industrial processes. For instance, multiphase separators are used to separate oil from mixtures that also contain water, gas, and particles. In such separators, an “emulsion layer” forms through which the solid particles must settle....

The basic human right to have safe and clean drinking water cannot be neglected with the ever-rising worldwide need for drinking water that meets global standards. Local monitoring of water sources is even more vital in areas where access to pure drinking water is limited and its processing...

As a potential approach to interpret Mode of Action (MoA), the shape of cellular response profiles associated with chemicals has been a key consideration. In this thesis, statistical pattern recognition methods using multiconcentration time-dependent cellular response profiles (TCRPs) are...

Large polycyclic aromatic nitrogen containing asphaltene model compounds, with molecular weights from 535 to 702 g/mol, were catalytically hydrogenated and hydrodenitrogenated in the presence of a commercial NiMo/γAl2O3 catalyst in a stainless steel batch reactor at 370 °C and 17.9 MPa total...

Neuroprosthetic devices are either stimulation or recording electrodes that are used to restore functionality of the human body after neural injury or disease. The long-term utility of these devices is limited by their viability and stability within the central nervous system due to foreign body...
