Spring 2021
CO2 flooding is a widely used enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method (Jarrell et al., 2002). Dimethyl ether (DME) is potentially a good solvent and has good compatibility with both CO2 and hydrocarbons (Catchpole et al., 2009; Ratnakar et al., 2016a). Due to the good solubility of DME in both CO2 and...

Two-Stage Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Aggregation for the Flotation Separation of Fine and Ultrafine Minerals
DownloadSpring 2023
In mineral processing froth flotation is the most important technique to recover and separate different minerals. However, the flotation process deteriorates significantly with low efficiency and selectivity when mineral particles are smaller than 20 µm. Low flotation kinetics of fine hydrophobic...

Two-Step Rigid and Non-Rigid Image Registration for the Alignment of Multi-View Three-Dimensional Echocardiography Sequences
DownloadFall 2024
Ultrasound is a widely used imaging modality, which provides continuous real-time imaging of the human heart, brain, liver, and many other organs. Accurate cardiovascular evaluation plays an important role in early disease diagnosis and echocardiography plays an important role in the assessment...

Type-1 Brassica napus Diacylglycerol Acyltransferases: Enzyme Characterization and Molecular Tools for Increasing Storage Lipid Production in Yeast
DownloadFall 2015
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the final step in the acyl-CoA- dependent biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG). The level of DGAT activity may have a substantial effect on the flow of carbon into TAG in many organisms. In plants, yeast, and animals, two families of...
