Spring 2011
In this thesis, measurement and analysis of colloidal forces between an atomic force microscope (AFM) probe and a topographically patterned substrate are reported. The energy between the patterned substrate and a smooth flat plate was characterized mathematically using Surface Element Integration...

Inhaled Aerosols Targeted via Magnetic Alignment of High Aspect Ratio Particles: An In Vivo and Optimization Study
DownloadSpring 2011
An in vivo study with 19 rabbits was completed. Half of the exposed rabbits had a magnetic field placed externally over their right lung. Magnetic resonance images of the lungs were acquired to determine the iron concentrations in the right and left lung of each animal. The right/left ratio...

Inhaled Nitric Oxide: An Experimental Analysis of Continuous Flow Noninvasive Delivery via Nasal Cannula
DownloadSpring 2020
Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is used to treat pulmonary hypertension and improve oxygenation in critically ill patients. It is primarily delivered via mechanical ventilation to patients in the critical care setting; however, there are several drawbacks to this invasive form of delivery. As a...
