Development and use of a ray-based analysis tool for the investigation of stimulated Raman scattering in laser-plasma interaction experiments
DownloadSpring 2022
Recent long-scale-length spherical target experiments, performed on the OMEGA EP laser, are analyzed for stimulated Raman side-scattering (SRSS). This work has been motivated by results obtained on experiments performed at the Nation Ignition Facility (NIF), relevant to directly-driven inertial...

Development and Analysis of Magnetic Carbon Nanotube and Microbubble-Assisted High Centrifugation Field Techniques For The Increase of Cell Membrane Permeability
DownloadSpring 2014
To cure diseases at the gene level, therapeutic biomaterials need to enter the cells. However, since the cell membrane is a highly selective structure, its permeability is usually very low. In this thesis, we propose two innovative and efficient methods to increase cell membrane permeability....

Development and Evaluation of a Close-Proximity, Real Time Thermoacoustic Ultrasound Sensor
DownloadSpring 2012
A close proximity, real time thermoacoustic sensor was designed, tested, and implemented in the SonaCell ultrasound generator. When placed in contact with the SonaCell ultrasound transducer, a copper backed plexiglass absorber converted ultrasound energy into heat, where it was measured by a...

Spring 2015
A longitudinally diode-pumped, passively Q-switched Yb:CaF2 laser has been developed and characterised using a Cr:YAG saturable absorber. A peak average output power of 914 mW at a repetition rate of 1314 Hz was obtained with a slope efficiency of 20%. The output pulse energy was 0.62 mJ with a...

Development of a Mid-infrared Detection System for Real-time Measurements of Gas Phase Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes using a Tunable External Cavity Quantum Cascade Laser
DownloadSpring 2012
The chemical transformation of trace gases, including reactions that result in aerosol particle formation, as well as the composition of the atmosphere deeply influence air quality and Earth's global climate. Use of a simulation chamber to study smog formation is a common method to investigate...

Development of a Multisectorial Electroactive Nanowell Platform for Selective Single-Cell Sorting and Quantification
DownloadSpring 2022
The rapid isolation of specific rare target cells is of rising importance in current targeted patient treatment plans. Common cell sorting approaches such as stream-based dielectrophoresis (DEP) based cell sorters are limited by their spatial dimensions as only a number of cell types...

Fall 2020
The focus of this thesis is to develop a solid content sensor based on low-level X-ray sources to monitor the settling process of FFT (Fluid fine tailings) in oil sands tailings ponds and provide calibration data for a light scattering sensor built for the same purpose. In this study,...

Development of an Efficient Quasi-3D Microfluidic Flow Model and Fabrication and Characterization of an All-PDMS Opto-Microfluidic Flow Cytometer
DownloadFall 2012
In this thesis, development of a novel microfluidic flow model, and, fabrication and testing of microfluidic cytometer for potential cell detection and sorting applications are described. The model is formulated by decomposing the flow profile along the height of microfluidic device into a...
