Co-Fermentation of Wheat and Whey Permeate for Ethanol Production and Chemical Characteristics of the Resulting Dried Distillers' Grains with Solubles
DownloadFall 2014
The vast majority of global bio-ethanol production uses food crops as the primary feedstocks, which leads to the high dependence of ethanol production cost on the price of the crop-based carbon resources. The demand, and interests, to use cheaper non-crop-based carbon sources for the ethanol...

Exploring the applicability of the minimally important difference concept in interpreting generic indirect preference-based health-related quality of life outcomes
DownloadFall 2020
Generic indirect preference-based measures of health-related quality of life (HRQL), such as the EQ-5D-5L index score, were developed to assign health preference weights to time lived in different health states in order to calculate quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), a common outcome measure...

Contraction fatigue and motor unit overlap in the tibialis anterior during different intensities of interleaved electrical stimulation
DownloadSpring 2018
Interleaved neuromuscular electrical stimulation (iNMES), which involves alternating stimulus pulses between a nerve (nNMES) and muscle belly (mNMES), has been demonstrated to reduce fatigue of the ankle dorsiflexors when used with relatively low contraction amplitudes. However, the amount of...
