A Polyphasic Perspective on Escherichia coli Niche-Specificity: The Characterization of Naturalized, Wastewater-Specific E. coli and the Emergence of Wastewater Treatment Resistance in the Microbial World
DownloadFall 2024
Although typically considered to be capable of colonizing and transiting between several different niches, evidence suggests that the Escherichia coli species exhibits a significant degree of host- and niche-specificity. This has led to the hypothesis that E. coli taxonomy may be more...

Biochar is a stabilized carbon with porous structure that can be used as an economical adsorbent for wastewater treatment. Since there are numerous types of biochars, it is important to understand how biochar characteristics influence adsorption performance by selecting or customizing biochars...

Spring 2017
Severe localized corrosion was found throughout an aeration tank of a modular wastewater treatment plant. Specifically, pitting, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and intergranular corrosion (IGC) were observed on the 5000 and 6000 series aluminum alloys used in the tank’s construction. One...

Development and Application of Methods for Sensitive and Specific Detection of SARS-CoV-2 and Variants in Clinical and Environmental Samples
DownloadFall 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, had far-reaching global health consequences, with the virus spreading rapidly via respiratory droplets and aerosols. Accurate and timely diagnostic testing became critical for guiding public health policies and preventing the spread of infections. The...

Feather Keratin Derived Sustainable Biosorbents for Adsorption of Heavy Metal Ions from Water
DownloadSpring 2023
Water is the epicenter of sustainability and has an essential part of the existence and development of the ecosystem and socioeconomic pillars. However, one in every three humans does not have access to clean drinking water around the globe and heavy metal ions pollution is the major contributor....

Fall 2016
Patterns of microbial host specificity have been observed at all host-related taxonomic levels, and several studies have demonstrated that Escherichia coli (E. coli) appears to display some level of host adaptation and specificity. Colonization of the gastrointestinal tract by E. coli largely...

Fall 2013
Misfolded prions (PrPSc) are well known for their resistance to conventional decontamination processes. The potential risk of contamination of the water environment, as a result of the disposal of specified risk materials (SRM), has raised public concerns. Ozone is commonly utilized in the water...

Fall 2016
Organic contaminants found in water, and leaching into the environment, are a major concern worldwide. In this thesis, we investigate the utility of using quantum dot-doped poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgels to photocatalytically degrade an organic dye in water. We use an...

The Occurrence of Residual Biological and Chemical Hazards in Recovered Struvite from Blackwater
DownloadFall 2018
Phosphorus is an essential element in several industries such as agriculture and a requirement for growth. Dwindling phosphate rock sources thus requires the security of new phosphorus sources to maintain future populations. On the other hand, wastewater contains a considerable amount of...

Treatment of Antiviral Drugs in Wastewater Using Advanced Oxidation Processes - Ozonation of Oseltamivir Phosphate
DownloadFall 2021
While wastewater treatment facilities are designed to remove contaminants from water before it returns to the environment, unfortunately, not all of these facilities are effective in the removal of micropollutants (MPs). Antiviral drugs are a class of MPs that have become an area of concern due...
