Characterization Of Heterogeneous Reaction Systems By Thermal Analysis And Mathematical Modeling, Shreya Adhikari, Chuck Tillie
Undergraduate Research Posters 2012
It is anticipated that this research will lead to scale-up parameters that can be used to model a laboratory-scale deposition furnace, and guide further experimentation to advance technologies for protective and conversion coatings.
The Study Of Bone Diffusion In Canine Tibia, Mariela Gonzalez-Nieves
The Study Of Bone Diffusion In Canine Tibia, Mariela Gonzalez-Nieves
Undergraduate Research Posters 2012
The provision of nutrients is imperative in order to maintain healthy bone structure. Bones are composed of dense connective tissues that are consistently reforming making it difficult for simple diffusion of large signaling molecules to occur. Fully understanding the rate at which nutrients, minerals, and waste travel throughout bone could lead to solutions to problems such as bone illnesses, breaks, and integration of prosthetics in the human body. Enhanced targeted medication delivery can be established as well.

A microprocessor that reads ECG data and detects heart arrhythmias can help keep people safe while working in high-risk environments.
Adhesion And Proliferation Of Red Fluorescent U87 Cells In A Mirco-Incubator, Rebecca L. Jensen

Availability of bone forming osteoblast cells from genetically modified green fluorescing protein (GFP) expressing mouse opens up the possibility of carrying out live cell imaging of the cells as they adhere, migrate and proliferate on nano-texture modified opaque metallic surfaces. Cells inoculated at a density of 200 cells/mm2 proliferated 131% over a one week period.
Energy Analysis Of Bio-Ethanol Dehydration Using Pervaporative Processes, Michel Elia Kahwaji Janho
Energy Analysis Of Bio-Ethanol Dehydration Using Pervaporative Processes, Michel Elia Kahwaji Janho
Undergraduate Research Posters 2012
Environmental effects and health hazards posed by fossil-fuel based technologies complemented by changes in the global economy have increased the demand for “cleaner” and more efficient technologies. Developments in technologies that rely on renewable or synthetic resources have therefore become more relevant in today’s economy and current industrial outlook. This study focuses on a critical assessment of pervaporation as a dehydration technique in the production of ethanol from sugar-cane. Energy demands of various separation schemes using this technique are evaluated.
Steering Adaptation In A Driving Simulator, Brian P. Moran
Steering Adaptation In A Driving Simulator, Brian P. Moran
Undergraduate Research Posters 2012
Steering adaptation in a driving simulator occurs when participants, who possess the skills necessary to control a vehicle, modify their use of the steering controls to successfully interact with a driving simulator. This approach is sensitive to individual driving styles, as it is free of any threshold, criterion, or benchmark value and can be applied to any steering task at any driving speed.
A Low Cost Motion Analysis System Based On Kinect, Jonathan Michael Cardinale, Tracy N. Jennemann, Vitaliy Sinyuk, Sam Kenji Yokoyama
A Low Cost Motion Analysis System Based On Kinect, Jonathan Michael Cardinale, Tracy N. Jennemann, Vitaliy Sinyuk, Sam Kenji Yokoyama
Undergraduate Research Posters 2012
The project focused on the validation of using the Kinect sensor to build a low cost motion analysis system for physical therapy and rehabilitation, and the identification of the types of the motions that cannot be captured well by the Kinect sensor and are in need of inertial sensors.
