Spring 2010
Neural prostheses (NPs) are electronic stimulators that activate nerves to restore sensory or motor functions. Surface NPs are non-invasive and inexpensive, but are often poorly selective, activating non-targeted muscles and cutaneous sensory nerves that can cause pain or discomfort. Implanted...

This work covers the general scope of stimuli-responsive polymers, with the special focus on the thermoresponsive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm)-based hydrogels and particles (microgels) and their composites, humidity responsive polyelectrolyte-based bilayer devices, and their applications...

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...

Motor unit recruitment by intraspinal microstimulation and long-term neuromuscular adaptations
DownloadFall 2009
Spinal cord injury is a devastating neurological disorder partially characterized by a loss of motor function below the lesion. The dramatic loss of activity results in muscle atrophy and slow-to-fast transformation of contractile elements, producing smaller, weaker and more fatiguable muscles....

Interfacing Silicon-Based Quantum Dots with Proteins for Biological and Sensing Applications
DownloadFall 2020
This dissertation presents the preparation of functional bioinorganic hybrids from silicon-based quantum dots (SiQDs) and enzymes and the use of SiQDs and green fluorescent protein as ratiometric photoluminescent sensors for nerve agents. Chapter 2 discusses the preparation of water-soluble...

Spring 2020
Collisions of motorized transport with wildlife impact a wide range of species and can cause injuries and economic losses to people. On roads, vehicle collisions with animals have been studied extensively, resulting in mitigation measures that reduce collisions by segregating animals and...

Spring 2020
On a perfect hydrogen-terminated Si(100)-2x1 surface, each surface silicon atom is capped with exactly one atom of hydrogen. When one of the capping hydrogen atoms is removed, the now unsatisfied orbital of the underlying silicon atom is exposed at that site. This site is better known as a...

External sensors for the feedback control of functional electrical stimulation assisted walking
DownloadFall 2010
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a rehabilitative technology that can be used to improve walking in individuals with mobility impairments due to neurologic injury or disease. Feedback is essential for efficient FES-assisted walking. The overall goal of my project was to investigate...

Automatically Detecting Affect in Computer-based Learning Environments: A Systematic Literature Review
DownloadSpring 2023
Affect detection is increasingly viewed as an essential component of computer-based learning systems because it aims to improve learner outcomes by adapting to the learner’s affect. However, most computer-based learning environments used across formal and informal educational contexts do not...
