A Novel Method of Obtaining Cell Membrane Permeability Parameters Using Non-Ideal Thermodynamic Assumptions
DownloadFall 2021
Cryopreservation is the storage of biological matter at subzero temperatures to preserve it. As one can imagine, this comes with many challenges, including exposure to high solute concentrations as pure water in the extracellular solution freezes, cell dehydration as the intracellular water...

Comparative Gibbsian composite-system thermodynamics for confined and unconfined multicomponent multiphase systems
DownloadSpring 2019
The behavior of multiphase multicomponent systems can be well predicted by Gibbsian composite-system thermodynamics. This approach is used in this thesis to study three different systems of interest: (i) nanobubbles on a flat solid surface submerged in a liquid solution at constant temperature...

Fall 2024
Elements from Gibbsian composite-system thermodynamics, classical nucleation theory, combinatorics, and statistical mechanics were used to provide insights into and develop models for some equilibrium systems of practical importance. This thesis consists of two parts. In part one, three problems...
