Stimuli-Responsive Polymer-Based Devices for Surface Plasmon Resonance Spectrometer Sensing
DownloadSpring 2018
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has emerged as a powerful tool in sensing and biosensing for decades due to its label free and real-time data collection characteristics. In the first part of this thesis, a custom-built high performance SPR spectrometer with broad range of scanning angle, high...

Steam-Solvent Coinjection for Bitumen Recovery under Reservoir Heterogeneity with Consideration of Water Solubility in Oil
DownloadFall 2017
The main objective of this research is to determine if expanding solvent-steam assisted gravity drainage (ES-SAGD), wherein a small quantity of a condensable solvent is coinjected with steam, can be a better alternative to SAGD in highly heterogeneous formations. Specifically, three previously...

Emergence and Refinement of Respiratory Chest Wall Intermuscular Coherence Associated with Speech and Non-Speech Tasks in Younger and Older Children
DownloadSpring 2018
Introduction: There is limited information about the development of chest wall muscular control of lung volume and alveolar pressure for non-speech and speech tasks. The present study was the first in a series of studies aimed at achieving an in-depth understanding of intermuscular coherence of...
