Quantification of Triple Single-Leg Hop Test Kinematic Parameters using Inertial Sensors: A Validated Method for Functional Assessments after Knee Injury
DownloadSpring 2020
Severe knee injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus tears, can have a serious effect on the lives of young athletes. Consequences may include an inability to return to previous levels of activity, an increased risk of re-injury or contralateral injury upon return to sport (RTS),...

Quantifying and Correlating the Positive Airway Pressure and Upper Airway Gas Clearance During High Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy in Adults
DownloadSpring 2019
High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is a form of respiratory support, where high flowrates of heated and humidified gas are supplied to a patient via nasal cannula. This thesis consists of two experimental studies designed to characterize the positive pressure and upper airway washout effects...

Quantifying the Carbon Conversion Efficiency and Emission Indices of a Lab-Scale Steam-Assisted Flare
DownloadSpring 2019
A lab-scale flaring facility was established to study the carbon conversion efficiency (CCE) and emission indices (EIs) of total unburned hydrocarbons (THC), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and black carbon (BC) for a 25.4 mm diameter steam-assisted flare....

Quantitative Characterization of Dynamic Sitting Control during Continuous Multi-Directional Perturbations
DownloadFall 2017
Facilitating trunk stability is one of the most important objectives in human balance control. This is especially evident in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) who are typically not able to control seated balance on their own. As a consequence of their injury, they often suffer under a...

Rational Design and Engineering of Metal-based Nanomaterials for Multifunctional Electrocatalysis
DownloadFall 2023
Multifunctional electrocatalysis plays an important role in renewable energy conversion, supporting a variety of clean energy devices such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and metal-air batteries. Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)...

Reactive control of velocity fluctuations using an active deformable surface and real-time PIV
DownloadFall 2023
This work investigated the use of an active deformable surface and real-time particle image velocimetry (RT-PIV) for reactive control of periodic vortex shedding from a wall-mounted spherical cap immersed in a laminar boundary layer. The reactive control strategies involved locally targeting...
