Control On Platelet Adhesion And Activation Events By Selective And Specific Binding Of Plasma Protein On Peptide-Coupled Surface, Anuradha Subramanian, Sanjukta Guha-Thankruta
Anuradha Subramanian Publications
Implantable material surfaces suffer from unavoidable major events of blood–biomaterial interactions leading to thrombus formation and finally foreign material rejection. An albuminated surface can minimize the platelet adhesion and activation that reduces the chance of thrombus formation. The main objective of our work was to design surfaces having maximum human serum albumin (HSA) binding capacity over other plasma proteins in blood by covalently grafting custom made peptides having selectivity and specificity towards HSA. First, silicon wafer surfaces were chemically treated to generate –NH2 terminated self-assembled monolayer (SAM). SAMs were then covalently coupled with (a) peptides using 1- ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl]carbodiimide hydrochloride and …
Importance Of Annealing Times In The Pcr Amplification Of Gc-Rich Genes, Anuradha Subramanian, Tarlan Mamedov, Elsje Pinnear, Hendrik J. Viljoen
Importance Of Annealing Times In The Pcr Amplification Of Gc-Rich Genes, Anuradha Subramanian, Tarlan Mamedov, Elsje Pinnear, Hendrik J. Viljoen
Anuradha Subramanian Publications
This combined theoretical and experimental study conclusively demonstrates that annealing times play a crucial role in the PCR amplification of GC-rich templates. To assist with the DNA amplification of GC-rich targets, a theory has been developed that evaluates the fraction of annealed primer/polymerase complex at the correct binding site as a function of annealing temperature and annealing period. Optimum annealing times lie in the range of 3 to 6 s, and annealing times greater than 10 s yield smeared PCR amplified products. The theory has been applied to the PCR amplification of the following human cDNA templates: ARX gene (78.2%, …

Surface Magnetoelectric Effect In Ferromagnetic Metal Films, Chun-Gang Duan, Julian P. Velev, Renat F. Sabirianov, Ziqiang Zhu, Junhao Chu, Sitaram Jaswal, Evgeny Y. Tsymbal
Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience: Faculty Publications
A surface magnetoelectric effect is revealed by density-functional calculations that are applied to ferromagnetic Fe(001), Ni(001), and Co(0001) films in the presence of an external electric field. The effect originates from spin-dependent screening of the electric field which leads to notable changes in the surface magnetization and the surface magnetocrystalline anisotropy. These results are of considerable interest in the area of electrically controlled magnetism and magnetoelectric phenomena.

Application Of The Modified Log-Wake Law In Open-Channels, Junke Guo, Pierre Y. Julien
Application Of The Modified Log-Wake Law In Open-Channels, Junke Guo, Pierre Y. Julien
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering: Faculty Publications
The modified log-wake law, which was developed for turbulent boundary layers and pipe flows, is extended to turbulent flows in open-channels. Turbulent velocity profiles in open-channels can be approximated with three components: (1) the law of the wall that results from the constant bed shear stress; (2) the law of the wake that reflects the effects of gravity, secondary currents and bed roughness; and (3) the cubic correction near the maximum velocity. A procedure to determine the four model parameters from velocity measurements while keeping κ = 0.41 is presented. The modified log-wake law compares very well with experimental data …

Finite Element Analysis Using Nonconforming Mesh, Ashok V. Kumar, Ravi Buria, Sanjeev Padmanabhan, Linxia Gu
Finite Element Analysis Using Nonconforming Mesh, Ashok V. Kumar, Ravi Buria, Sanjeev Padmanabhan, Linxia Gu
Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications
A method for finite element analysis using a regular or structured grid is described that eliminates the need for generating conforming mesh for the geometry. The geometry of the domain is represented using implicit equations, which can be generated from traditional solid models. Solution structures are constructed using implicit equations such that the essential boundary conditions are satisfied exactly. This approach is used to solve boundary value problems arising in thermal and structural analysis. Convergence analysis is performed for several numerical examples and the results are compared with analytical and finite element analysis solutions to show that the method gives …

A high-impact, energy-absorbing vehicle barrier system generally includes a substantially rigid outer containment wall coupled via strap assemblies with an energy-absorbing inner impact wall, and energy-absorbing cartridges strategically positioned between the impact wall and containment wall. The impact wall is constructed of a number of tubes coupled with one another to present a substantially smooth, unifonn surface to passing vehicles. The energy-absorbing cartridges generally consist of a foam member or a number of foam sheets which compress and crush between the containment wall and impact wall to absorb energy from an errant vehicle striking the face of the impact wall, …
Self-Encoded Spread Spectrum Synchronization And Cooperative Diversity, Kun Hua
Self-Encoded Spread Spectrum Synchronization And Cooperative Diversity, Kun Hua
Department of Computer Electronics and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
This dissertation research concerns a novel self-encoded spread spectrum. It provides a feasible practical implementation for random spreading codes. The traditional transmit and receive PN code generators are not needed. Instead, the spreading codes are extracted from the user's information bits itself. Comparing to conventional CDMA, SESS completely abandons the use of pseudo-random spreading codes. The code variability doesn't depend on the spreading length like pseudo-random codes.
But because the self-encoded spreading sequence is random and time varying, data recovery requires that the despreading sequence be identical with the spreading sequence at the start of the transmission. Synchronization is one …

Fundamental to this objective is developing an understanding of feedstock dynamics of crops suitable for cellulosic ethanol production. This report focuses on switchgrass, reviewing the existing literature from field trials across the United States, and compiling it for the first time into a single database. Data available from the literature included cultivar and crop …
A Design Aid For Determining Width Of Filter Strips, Michael G. Dosskey, M. J. Helmers, Dean E. Eisenhauer
A Design Aid For Determining Width Of Filter Strips, Michael G. Dosskey, M. J. Helmers, Dean E. Eisenhauer
Department of Biological Systems Engineering: Papers and Publications
Watershed planners need a tool for determining width of filter strips that is accurate enough for developing cost-effective site designs and easy enough to use for making quick determinations on a large number and variety of sites. This study employed the process-based Vegetative Filter Strip Model to evaluate the relationship between filter strip width and trap¬ping efficiency for sediment and water and to produce a design aid for use where specific water quality targets must be met. Model simulations illustrate that relatively narrow filter strips can have high impact in some situations, while in others even a modest impact cannot …

Implementing Scc Technology In Nebraska—All About Working Together, Mark D. Lafferty
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering: Faculty Publications
In October 2001, Concrete Industries, Inc. (CI) was working with its admixture supplier to improve our form finish for precast concrete products. They brought us a new product and before long the concrete slump became a 26‐in. (660‐mm) diameter circle. Obviously, this generated a lot of excitement with our production personnel, but we also had to consider what it would take to get architects and engineers comfortable with using it.

Randomly Generating Manufacturing Flow Line Models Using Mathematica, Paul Savory
Randomly Generating Manufacturing Flow Line Models Using Mathematica, Paul Savory
Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications
To test heuristic algorithms and techniques, researchers need numerous datasets so as to measure effectiveness and improve approaches. This paper discusses using Mathematica, a mathematical programming language, for randomly generating the specifications for manufacturing flow line models. Important issues include determining an arrival rate to a flow line, the number of flow line stations, the number of parallel servers for each production station, and specifying the service time distributions and their associated parameters. The paper concludes with a discussion on generating more general types of simulation models.
Facilitating Use Of The Odor Footprint Tool By Nebraska Pork Producers, Rick R. Stowell
Facilitating Use Of The Odor Footprint Tool By Nebraska Pork Producers, Rick R. Stowell
Department of Biological Systems Engineering: Papers and Publications
The goal of this project was to make Odor Footprint Tool (OFT) resources readily usable by pork producers and their technical advisors as a planning and screening tool when siting swine facilities. Detailed odor footprints for five specified sizes of swine facilities were developed for twenty-four locations throughout Nebraska: six regional sites and three “localized” sites within each region. Each odor footprint shows the predicted odor annoyance-free frequency as a function of the distance from the facility. Footprints developed using localized weather data differed only slightly from footprints produced using weather data from a regional site when the general topography …

United States Department of Energy: Publications
Scientists extensively use mathematical models of Earth’s climate, executed on the most powerful computers available, to examine hypotheses about past and present-day climates. Development of climate models is fully consistent with approaches being taken in many other fields of science dealing with very complex systems. These climate simulations provide a framework within which enhanced understanding of climate-relevant processes, along with improved observations, are merged into coherent projections of future climate change. This report describes the models and their ability to simulate current climate.
The science of climate modeling has matured through finer spatial resolution, the inclusion of a greater number …
