Endothelialization Using Protein Substrates And Hydrogels For Aortic Valve Applications, Elizabeth A. Fontaine
Endothelialization Using Protein Substrates And Hydrogels For Aortic Valve Applications, Elizabeth A. Fontaine
All Theses
Aortic valve disease is currently the leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity in the United States.1 In 2003, approximately 290,000 patients required heart valve replacement and that number is estimated to continue to rise as the average age of the population continues to increase.2 However, the current valve replacement options have multiple limitations. Tissue engineering hopes to address these shortcomings by providing a viable valve that more closely mimics the native valve, structurally and functionally.3 An ideal valve replacement should contain endothelial and interstitial cells, with the ability to remodel the extra-cellular matrix. While tissue-engineered heart valves are not uncommon in …
Eye Tracking Consumer Purchase Behavior Within Physical And Virtual Environments, David Andrew Stone
Eye Tracking Consumer Purchase Behavior Within Physical And Virtual Environments, David Andrew Stone
All Theses
Understanding how consumers observe and make purchase decisions within a retail context is now both accessible and efficient through the process of eye tracking. Eye tracking package design aesthetics helps us understand and predict what consumers are looking at, and how likely a package might be selected. Typically, this research is conducted in an immersive retail setting where consumers can shop as they would in a normal store-shopping context. A store is stocked with products where a participant in the study shops throughout while wearing an eye tracker to gather data on what their attention fixates on within a given …
Assessment Of Bore-Cone Taper Junctions In Explanted Modular Total Hip Replacements, Christine Margaret Stamer
Assessment Of Bore-Cone Taper Junctions In Explanted Modular Total Hip Replacements, Christine Margaret Stamer
All Theses
For people with chronic hip pain due to arthritis or other conditions, a total hip replacement (THR) is a common procedure used to eliminate the pain. Due to the natural variation in patient anatomy, THR prostheses are becoming increasingly more modular to allow for a more customized initial replacement and for an easier revision if needed in the future. Currently, THR prostheses routinely have modular femoral heads to provide surgeons with intraoperative flexibility. This modularity allows the surgeons to maintain the proper leg length and restore hip biomechanics for the patient and insert the components more easily and precisely. Modular …
Bromide Removal From Surface Waters By Silver Impregnated Activated Carbon, Chen Chen
Bromide Removal From Surface Waters By Silver Impregnated Activated Carbon, Chen Chen
All Theses
Bromide is a precursor of disinfection by-products (DBPs) during potable water treatment, because it causes the formation of brominated DBPs that are more cyto- and geno-toxic than their chlorinated analogues. Due to the potential health risks of DBPs, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has been imposing increasingly stringent regulations for controlling the DBPs. Therefore, removal of bromide ions from source waters becomes critical for controlling the DBPs formation. In my study, it was hypothesized that silver impregnated activated carbon (SIAC) can be a promising adsorbent for bromide removal from water. The main research objectives of this study were …
