Spring 2013
Adsorption behavior of nitrogen, argon and oxygen on silver exchanged titanosilicate (Ag-ETS-10) were studied in this work. A low temperature gas chromatographic determination of relatively low concentration argon (<1%) was developed, which was applied to evaluate the production of argon free...

Design and simulation of a short, 10 MV, variable energy linear accelerator for use in linac-MR systems
DownloadFall 2016
Hybrid linac-MR devices are currently being designed and constructed by several groups around the world which combine a linear accelerator with an MRI in order to enable real-time 3D imaging to visualize tumor movement during external beam radiotherapy treatments. Each of the current systems is...

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...
