We present an analytical solution for buoyancy-driven “filling box” flows in axisymmetric porous media having closed bottom and side boundaries. The flow consists first and foremost of a descending, point source plume. When plume fluid reaches the (horizontal) bottom boundary, it begins to flow...

We report upon a theoretical and experimental investigation of a porous medium ‘filling box’ flow by specifically examining the details of the laminar descending plume and its outflow in a control volume having an impermeable bottom boundary and sidewalls. The plume outflow initially comprises a...

Textiles have a lot to do with keeping us alive and healthy every day. For example, the air you breathe in your home or car is probably kept clean through a fabric-made filter. And that also goes for the water you drink—there’s a good chance the water filtration system in your home or office uses...

In this study, a surrogate of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts was prepared using Cryptosporidium-sized carboxylated polystyrene microspheres and an alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP). The zeta potential of the modified surrogates was found to be similar to that of viable Cryptosporidium parvum. These...

Hope has been described as the ability to envision a future in which one wishes to participate. A burgeoning body of research consistently points to the vital role hope plays in learning and successful change. Employing narrative inquiry (Clandinin and Connelly, 2000), in this paper, we explore...

Karst, J., Cahill, J. F., Lyons, D.
This paper is the product of a seminar led by JC Cahill in response to a request by many graduate students and post-docs in our department to teach effective writing strategies. Rather than go over the mechanics of writing, JC introduced the concept of “pitch” and its importance in scientific...
