Evaluation of Mask and Mask Material Suitability for COVID-19 Transmission Protection and Influence of Face Velocity and Exhaled Breath Condensate on Filtration Efficiency
DownloadSpring 2022
Facemask use has been a key public health measure in response to the SARS CoV-2 pandemic; they are used to reduce airborne transmission of the disease amongst the public. The facemasks used by the public are non-medical in nature and therefore are not regulated like medical masks. Cloth masks,...

Growth and Characterization of Metastable Hexagonal Nickel Thin Films via Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition
Download2017-07-01
Motamedi, Pouyan, Bosnick, ken, Cui, Kai, Cadien, Ken, Hogan, James D.
There is a great interest in various branches of the advanced materials industry for the development of novel methods (and improvements to existing ones) for the deposition of conformal ultrathin metallic films. In most of these applications, like enhanced solar absorbers and microelectronics,...

The ability of farmers to adapt to changing rural environments in developing countries is an important determinant of welfare. However, farmers' adaptation may be constrained by their adaptive capacity because economic resources, information, and institutions are often weak or missing in these...

Improving Measurements of the Mixing State and Mass Concentration of Particulate Emissions from Aircraft Engines
DownloadSpring 2016
This research is focused towards improving techniques used to measure particulate emissions from aircraft engines, on two fronts: first, to characterize and quantify the mixing state of particulate emissions; and second, to calibrate black carbon mass instruments with a traceable mass...

Kramer, J.R., McMahon, T.A., Denison, P.J.
An in-depth review of the literature related to deposition of gases and particulates by dry deposition and precipitation scavenging is reported. Recommendations are made on the hypotheses, algorithms or models considered to be most suitable for incorporation into a pollutant transport and...

Planktonic and Epipelic Algal Communities and their Relationship to Physical and Chemical Variables in Alpine Ponds in Banff National Park, Canada
Download2005
McMaster, N. L., Schindler, D. W.
We surveyed 14 ponds in 1999 and 28 ponds in 2000 to better understand the basic limnology of alpine ponds and to predict how the planktonic and epipelic (sediment-living) algal communities may respond to nutrient deposition and climate change. Based on nitrogen to phosphorus ratios, nitrogen...

The centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA)-electrometer system has been proposed as an alternative method of calibration for devices that measure black carbon. This system is proposed to replace the current calibration standard of NIOSH 5040. The repeatability and intermediate precision of the...

The goal of this thesis work was to develop an idealized adult nasal airway geometry capably of mimicking average regional nasal deposition of droplets emitted from pharmaceutical nasal sprays. The first part of this thesis examined regional deposition within the nose for nasal sprays over a...
