Locomotion-related propriospinal V3 interneurons modulate sensory-transmission to motoneurons by generating primary afferent depolarization
DownloadFall 2022
Proprioceptive sensory-evoked reflexes are essential in assisting the precision of basic movements and maintenance of body postures. The motor outputs from these reflexes are precisely calibrated to avoid interfering with the ongoing motor functions. After spinal cord injury (SCI), reflexes...

This thesis focuses on the manufacturing of high carbide content wear-resistant parts by extrusion- based Additive Manufacturing (AM) based on the principles of Powder Metallurgy (PM). A new manufacturing technique, termed Fused Filament Fabrication of Cermets (FFFC) is presented. First, particle...

Reuse of Flowback and Produced Water: The Effects of Treatment Process on Tight-Rock Wettability and Selective Removal of Problematic ions for Stability of Friction Reducers
DownloadFall 2022
Oil and gas industry have faced significant operational, economic, and environmental challenges in recycling produced water. The treatment of produced water is highly researched, but few studies have evaluated the performance of treated produced water when used for hydraulic fracturing and...

An Integrated 3D Safety-based Approach for the Design of Horizontal Curves using Reliability Analysis and LiDAR Data
DownloadSpring 2022
Safety-based design can be described as an approach in which safety is considered a core design input and the safety performance of proposed designs that follow this approach can be expected. Although current-day highway design guidelines are constantly updated to incorporate recent advances in...

Offsetting approved harmful anthropogenic impacts in the 21st century – Insights into global offsetting practices, habitat banking as an alternative offsetting mechanism and application of habitat enhancement in northern boreal lake systems
DownloadFall 2022
Land-use change via human development is a major driver of biodiversity and habitat area loss and ecosystem function impairment. To reduce these impacts, billions of dollars are spent on environmental offsets, aimed to compensate for authorized negative impacts. Studies evaluating offset project...

Mobility and Safety Implications of Automated Vehicles in Mixed Traffic by Recognizing Behavioral Variations of Drivers
DownloadSpring 2022
The Introduction of Connected-Automated Vehicle (CAV) technology provided a new opportunity to fix the traditional transportation system. Automated vehicles (AuV) would take the driving responsibility and drive the vehicles by analyzing their’ surrounding through a range of sensors. The...

Kattemalalawadi, Bharath S. P.
To improve the confidence of subsurface storage of fluids such as carbon-dioxide, acid-gas and hydrogen at various geological sites, a proper fluid dynamic understanding of flow phenomena occurring because of injecting these source fluids into a porous medium is necessary. While many advancements...
