Use of surfaces functionalized with phage tailspike proteins to capture and detect bacteria in biosensors and bioassays
DownloadFall 2010
The food safety and human diagnostics markets are in need of faster working, reliable, sensitive, specific, low cost bioassays and biosensors for bacterial detection. This thesis reports the use of P22 bacteriophage tailspike proteins (TSP) immobilized on silanized silicon surfaces, roughened at...

Use of thermogravimetric analyzer and high temperature furnace as an alternative to the coke reactivity index test and study on effect of binders in metallurgical coke making
DownloadSpring 2019
Metallurgical coke, a porous carbon material produced by carbonization of coking coal at high temperature, generally above 900 ○C, is an integral part of iron-making in the blast furnace. During iron making, coke serves several important roles in the blast furnace such as a source of energy, as a...
