Lo, Calvin, Sano, Tomoko, Hogan, James D.
We investigated the uniaxial compressive behavior of damaged and intact alumina using quantitative X-ray computed tomography (XCT) analysis coupled with digital image correlation (DIC) for mechanical characterization. Internal three-dimensional crack characteristics such as crack surface area and...

Bhattacharya, Sujit, Arora, Nitin, Ng, Samson, Chong, Jeng Y., Kresta, Suzanne M., Machado, Marcio B.
Mixing conditions were explored as a possible avenue for improvement of demulsifier performance in solvent diluted bitumen de-watering process. The effects of demulsifier bulk concentration, demulsifier injection concentration and mixing energy on water and solids removal from the oil phase were...

Density, Microstructure, and Strain‑Rate Effects on the Compressive Response of Polyurethane Foams
Download2021-11-09
Bhagavathula, Kapil Bharadwaj, Meredith, Christopher S., Ouellet, Simon, Satapathy, Sikhanda S., Romanyk, Dan L., Hogan, James D.
Background A better understanding of the efect of density, microstructure, and strain rate on the mechanical response of polymeric foam materials is needed to improve their performance. Objective The objective of this paper is to study the combined infuence of density, microstructure, and...

Bhagavathula, Kapil Bharadwaj, Meredith, Christopher S., Ouellet, Simon, Romanyk, Dan L., Hogan, James D.
This study presents a comprehensive experimental study of the evolution of Poisson’s ratio and tangent modulus of polymeric foams during rate dependant uniaxial compression. In this study, polyurethane foams with densities of 195 kg/m3, 244 kg/m3, and 405 kg/m3 obtained from PORON (XRD series)...

Schlägel, Ulrike E, Lewis, Mark A.
Animals of many species demonstrate movement behaviour in which decisions are based on a variety of information. Effects of resources have been studied widely, often under the assumption that the environment is constant over the course of the study. Much less understood is the role of dynamic...

Peter R. Thompson, Andrew E. Derocher, Mark A. Edwards, Mark A. Lewis
Spatial memory plays a role in the way animals perceive their environments, resulting in memory-informed movement patterns that are observable to ecologists. Developing mathematical techniques to understand how animals use memory in their environments allows for an increased understanding of...

Johnson, Kai C. C., Mendez, Francisco, Serpe, Michael J.
Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgel-based etalons have been shown to have visible color and unique spectral properties, which both depend on solution temperature and pH. In this investigation, pNIPAm-co-AAc microgel-based etalons were fabricated on the Au...

El-Yazbi, Amira F., Loppnow, Glen R.
Nucleic acids (NAs) play a vital role in numerous biological processes. Absorption of ultraviolet (UV) light by NAs can result in DNA damage at the molecular level, leading to mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and cell death. Thus, much effort has been focused on developing methods for detecting...

Detection of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli in food by droplet digital PCR to detect simultaneous virulence factors in a single genome
Download2020-09-01
He, Li, Simpson, David, Gänzle, Michael G.
Shiga toxin producing E. coli are a problem for food producers. STEC's require a combination of virulence factors to cause disease, so ideally detection techniques should detect the presence of multiple virulence factors in a single cell directly from food. Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) is commonly...
