Evaluation of the Interface Mechanical Properties of Craniofacial Implants and Natural Teeth Through Development of the Advanced System for Implant Stability Testing (ASIST)
DownloadFall 2016
Clinical evaluation of the integrity of the bone-implant interface of percutaneous implants is important to prescribe loading, to identify the risk of failure, and to monitor the long-term health of the implant. The same concept of interface integrity can be applied in dentistry where the...

Lipid membranes represent a critically important interface in biological cells and cellular organelles and mediate all interactions between cells and their surrounding environment. Although quite fragile and negligibly thin, they can be homogeneous down to molecular dimension. Consequently, their...

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...
