Synthesis And Co2/Ch4 Separation Performance Of Bio-Mof-1 Membranes., Joseph Allen Bohrman 1988- Dec 2012

Synthesis And Co2/Ch4 Separation Performance Of Bio-Mof-1 Membranes., Joseph Allen Bohrman 1988-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The separation of carbon dioxide from natural gas is of great interest from the environmental and energy perspective, respectively. From the environmental point of view, capturing CO2 effectively from power plants can have a positive impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. From the energy point of view, CO2 is an undesirable impurity in natural gas wells, with concentrations as high as 70%. Membrane technology can play a major role in making natural gas purification processes economically feasible. A novel membrane composed of Metal-organic-framework material Zn8(Ad)4(BPDC)6O 2Me2NH2 (Bio-MOF-1) was designed and created to effectively separate CO2/CH4 gas mixtures. The crystalline structure, …


Performance Of Athletic Cleated Shoes In The Sport Of Ultimate Frisbee., Andrew Johnson 1987- Dec 2012

Performance Of Athletic Cleated Shoes In The Sport Of Ultimate Frisbee., Andrew Johnson 1987-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Athletic cleated shoe failures are commonplace to competitive-level ultimate frisbee players. Currently, there are no athletic cleated shoes designed for the sport of ultimate frisbee; players generally choose between football or soccer cleated shoes in the hopes of finding a match between footwear designs for a different sport and the needs of their own sport. A focus group and subsequent survey were conducted and administered, respectively, to better understand the types of failures that occur, as well as the causes of these failures. Approximately 78% of failures experienced in ultimate frisbee are caused by the player executing a cut, or …


A Novel High Yield Process For Gold Sulfide Nanoparticle Synthesis Via Shifting Equilibrium Of Self-Assembly Reaction., Dhruvinkumar Patel Dec 2012

A Novel High Yield Process For Gold Sulfide Nanoparticle Synthesis Via Shifting Equilibrium Of Self-Assembly Reaction., Dhruvinkumar Patel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have attracted enormous attention in the field of nanotechnology for applications such as, immunoassay, drug delivery, contrast enhancement and tumor therapy. The typical range of gold nanoparticles varies from 1– 150 nm; there are many different subtypes of AuNPs mainly based on size, shape, and optical properties including: gold nanospheres, nanorods, nanocages, and nanoshells. The main advantage of using gold nanoparticles is the large surface-to-volume ratio; this will allow the particles to be functionalized with drugs and/or targeting agents to create many novel applications. Many AuNPs have another advantage as well, they can be fabricated to either …


Role Based Access Control And Authentication For Scada Field Devices Using A Dual Bloom Filter And Challenge-Response., Jacob Schreiver Dec 2012

Role Based Access Control And Authentication For Scada Field Devices Using A Dual Bloom Filter And Challenge-Response., Jacob Schreiver

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are networked control systems used in many critical infrastructure areas such as power water and transportation. Many of these systems continue to use legacy field devices that lack cyber security features. The field device security preprocessor is a bump-in-the-wire security solution of legacy field devices. This thesis describes the design and analysis of a dual Bloom filter structure for use in a field device security preprocessor. A dual Bloom filter is a variant of the traditional Bloom filter, that performs role based access checks in O(1) time. It is shown this structure, which …

Egypt's Police State In The Work Of Idris And Mahfouz, David F. Dimeo Dec 2012

Egypt's Police State In The Work Of Idris And Mahfouz, David F. Dimeo

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article "Egypt's Police State in the Work of Idris and Mahfouz" David F. DiMeo examines how two leading twentieth-century authors of politically committed fiction addressed an angry generation's confrontations with former members of the oppressive state police apparatus. Yusuf Idris's The Black Policeman (1962) and Najib Mahfouz's al-Karnak (1974) remain particularly relevant as today's Egyptian activists confront the vestiges of the former regime's security forces. Using Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of the carnival as a paradigm for analysis, DiMeo examines how both texts present sharp contrasts between hollow quests for public revenge through purges and a genuine overturning of …
